The dumbass goes into a room, then gets lost, spends 3 hours cleaning that one room because it can’t find the open door and return to base. Or, it continuously gets stuck under the couch, where it knows is off limits, or gets stuck under the kitchen table amongst the chair legs. Its tracks its self every time it leaves base. One night it left its base, made a direct path across the house into the laundry room, made 2 turns and ended up behind the open door, then called it quits.

It lasted about 6 years and then my house got hit my lightening and fried it. Now of days they have the one that will empty itself, I would get that one if I was buying new today.

It doesnt completely replace a vacuum but it will still pick up quite a bit even right after you vacuum the whole house yourself.

It's still going strong, have to take the brush out of it every couple weeks and cut the girls hair out of it. Other than that it's been nice. No dog barf/poop accidents yet......

It's in the box somewhere or wife gave it away. Originally Posted by Phil Robertson Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

My floors are dark and pet hair is pretty visible so before I always felt like I needed to sweep. Usually dump the can on this thing at night and hit start when I leave for for work in the morning. Shoot. Eat. Repeat.
