Review on RolliBot 600 Shows Cleaning Results by Jennifer Lyon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great bot when it works. Pray it works. Serious.

Firstly at this price point and after reading the reviews I had no expectations. The bot is well made, durable, orange and always seems to find something to grab. If you insist on using the app. Just install it to get a good idea of how it will display your living space, appreciate the fact that it contains lasers, then turn it off. I had nothing but wireless connection issues as I really wanted the whole thing to be a "smart bot". If you disconnect it from the wireless network, use a small controller and let it do its thing. This is a dream. The only mistakes I can really find fall on the "You have to be smarter than a robot" list. Don't leave things on the floor, give them a clear path, clear out the trash can, and don't let them try to climb on things. he gets stuck. I don't even have a problem with black mats like every other bot I've had. The more I run it, the more I see that it follows a pattern. Now he doesn't miss any space in my 2-room apartment. + Pros = - Price compared to bots with this level of display - Actually uses lasers and gets smarter as you use it - Always does its job and returns to base if you clean up after yourself and use common sense - Cleans like a beast . Serious. It's amazing - Not too loud and not too quiet - Don't crash into your furniture or throw objects through bumps from tables. It doesn't really touch anything. It only works if you let it. ---------------- Cons =- Not too quiet. or too loud - Most likely you will get a dead battery and need to find a way to charge it as the bot won't do it if it doesn't have enough charge to run it. It's pretty simple, but very annoying. it or it just doesn't work at all - wireless. Stay away from it. App is terrible. This will make you hate the disconnect bot and bring it back. Forget it and just let it do its thing. Alone he is 100% smarter. I would buy 5 more of these in a heartbeat if I could, but customer service and returns from Rollibot put me off buying another one, or from a friend suggesting I get one. *update* I ordered the second block. It came with a bad battery that was 3 years old and didn't hold a charge. We had my first device and it worked perfectly so I replaced the good battery and it worked great. Rollibot's customer support is simply amazing. To replace the battery I need to send a brand new and working device. Shipping costs alone make no sense. and the way the boxes are handled, they can crumple on the way there or back. Even after trying to charge this, the battery only holds 2.1v and then drops to 1.4v after 30 minutes. You still need the whole bot. To get a replacement I was told to either send the whole unit back to Amazon and get a brand new one or send the whole bot to Rollibot to have the damn battery replaced. with delivery in both directions. It makes no sense. Pray your block is working properly. This is simply unacceptable.
