SAMSUNG POWERbot R9020 Essential Robotic Vacuum

I returned this Powerbot because it didn't do what it claims... sort of.CONS: 1.) While it is obviously an autonomous vacuum, it is NOT "automatic" as the description implies. "Let the house work while you're away" is the tagline. The problem is that you have to be home to start it cleaning. It doesn't have any sort of clock or timer that will set it off to clean while I'm at work. And it is much to loud to have driving around for 90 minutes while I'm home. Too loud to start at 5 am when I leave for work as I'm sure my neighbors would not appreciate it.2.) It can't quite return to its home charging station on it's own. I have it placed in a bedroom I use an an office, up against a wall that separates the den from the living room. When it heads home to charge it goes to the living room side of the wall and tries repeatedly to go through the wall to dock. I didn't expect that at all, as it is a core function of all robot vacuums.3.) May not be a con for others, but this thing is big and loud (This is also a PRO I mention below.) It is too big to go under my bed, dresser, coffee table or anything without 7" of clearance. That was probably my fault for not measuring my spaces to see if this guy would fit.PROS:1.) Like I said above, this thing is big and loud. That means it performs like a full sized upright vacuum but without a handle. It isn't quite as loud as my Panasonic upright, but it is close. However, that power translates to excellent suction and cleaning power. I love that it really cleans so well.2.) It really hugs the walls as it cleans in a linear method. And because it sucks so good I think it would really keep the edges of the room very clean. The round ones just don't do that very well. And it looks like you vacuumed your carpet yourself with the perfectly straight lines still visible in the carpet. (Like the lawn after it's just been mowed)So the take away is that if you want a heavy-duty vacuum (in terms of robot vacuums) this guy nails it. If you want it to work automatically while you are away, not get lost and fit under things then it is NOT the right option.

Well I should have known that all these free product review's were a good indication that I shouldn't have bought this.To start I currently Own this robot, a neato, and roomba 880. I wanted something for the upstairs bedrooms in my house as they are mostly carpet.The good thing on this vac is definitely the suction as it is by far stronger than anything else i've had or tried. Almost comparable to a standard vacuum. Unfortunately the list of pro's pretty much ends there.The physical profile of this thing makes it a horrible design. It often runs up to a desk or a chair and simply gets suck on a caster wheel or even on the base board lip's. Its much bigger than the other robots and cannot go under most couches or low furniture (not a huge problem on its own but something the roomba and neato are able to accomplish) Besides that It doesn't seem to get into corners well and has no side brushes or sweeper's like most of the other robots do.The battery life seems ok, shorter than others again but I assume this is because of the large vacuum motor.It was able to complete my master bedroom where it was docked but the navigation on this one certainly seems designed to limit it to one room. Not a problem for me as I would have had to pick it up to do the other rooms anyways but would have been nice if it did the hallway by itself. It has a real methodical pattern it follows quite nicely and tends not to miss any spots during its clean but does not seem to have any way of detecting dirt or debris if it failed to pick it up on the first pass.This has a single brush that looks to be a combo of rubber and bristles and seems to clean quiet well on normal floor however going over a lip makes it tend to leave dirt behind.I really wanted to like this little guy but after all is said and done I think it will have to be returned. It saves me relatively no time since I have to get the roomba to complete the job. The price was just as high as competitors if not more and as amusing as chasing my cat with the remote was even he soon grew bored. I have been a long time fan of Samsung products, have multiple tv's, monitor's, hard drives, and even a washer and dryer that all worked flawlessly. They appear to have dropped the ball on these vac's in my opinion I will definitely be doing more research before buying from them again.Update: It was about 10 months into my ownership and I had to send it in for RMA because the right wheel stopped working. They held my device for weeks without repairing it because they said the receipt I gave them was invalid (printed invoice from here) After I resent it to them and was finally verified they informed me that I had gone past the warranty period and would have to buy a new one as they did not offer repair services of any type ONLY replacement. A huge let down from Samsung I immediately returned my new 4k TV and Galaxy S8 so I could avoid the terrible support on a future device.
