SAMSUNG Jet Bot Robot Cordless Vacuum Cleaner w/ Intelligent Power Control, Precise Navigation, Multi Surface Cleaning for Hardwood Floors, Carpets, Rugs, Anti Hair, VR30T80313W/AA, White

Bought this vacuum at a ridiculous price - labeled 'used' but the description just said box was damaged. The box did indeed look terrible but the robot was brand new and in perfect condition. First off it talks and I didn't love that part. Faced with learning a new app and the annoying voice, I let it sit in the corner for a couple of days. (You can turn off the voice, or do what I did and change to a different language so it sounds like robotic nonsense - kind of charming) The app however turned out to be very easy to use. The robot drives around and makes a map, which you then edit with some simple tools. Name the rooms and make divided / combined areas so you can clean whichever room(s) you want with a couple of clicks once the map is all dialed in. You will need to get cords, socks, small rugs off the floor because otherwise it will get stuck - but it has no trouble getting around furniture, under the couch, the bed, normal carpeting, wherever. This vac does a better and more thorough job than anyone else in my house and it speaks 20 different languages.

This is my third robotic vacuum. I went with a cheap well rated first, to a little more expensive one, to this. This is by far the best one. The laser mapping seems to make a big difference. It is a bit louder than my last one but super efficient. My last vacuums needed biweekly maintenance. Cleaning the wheels and roller out or they would begin to get gunked up and stuck. This requires little to no maintenance. They did a good job designing the roller so it doesn't get stopped up with hair. Only downside is it is a tad taller than my last one so doesn't go under the bed or bar cart. With the mapping I was able to block out any place it got stuck. It picks up a lot. I run it everyday and it has stuff in the bin everyday.

Ever try to convince your teenagers to do house chores while they're going thru their teen life crisis? It's easier to get a robot vacuum you can set and forget. It cleans up well and house has been a lot cleaner then if you let your kid vacuum while their on social media with their other hand. Kidding aside, I looked at several robot vacuums and reviews but decided to get Samsung Jetbot because it was a good price discount I got ordering from Treasure Truck. My wife scolded me when the product arrived. Now she loves it. The benifits, it does vacuum in several modes and I choose pattern mode with outer edges finished towards the end. The circular design allows it to turn around 360 pretty much in tight situations whereas Samsungs newer design looks like a dustpan was attached making it harder to turn around. You can designate multiple rooms after the robot has surveyed your house. You can designate off limit areas the robot will not enter to clean. The vacuum can move pretty well between different floor types, carpet and hard floor. It can even go over a few centimeters of height. It really does a clean job and you can see the difference after it's done vacuuming. The cons: ... Wish I could say, there is none. It's got a decent container size for vacuumed dust but you may want to check it every few weeks to a month, depending on how often you have it programmed to vacuum. Battery life has been decent and it takes about an hour and a half to clean my home. Battery is almost depleted when it's done, but it get back to its charger base and will be ready for the next cleanup schedule. It doesn't have obstacle avoidance like the newer and pricier models so if you have small items lying around the house like your usb cables. Make sure it's not on the floor. If you have pets and they leave their business on the floor, you may be making a bigger mess. Just saying. The schedule app is nice and works great as it's their smart things app but I wish they would update their program to allow it to have the option of selecting to do only certain rooms. Currently, i have mine set up to do all rooms, however, if I had the option, I would like to set schedule for certain days to do certain rooms and different t days for other rooms. Like most used areas of the home, do these rooms mon, we'd, fri. Rooms not used often, like guest room, once a week. Like any vacuum, the rollers will get tangled up with long hair, bit the thing is pretty easy to pull out the roller and clean it up. The filter and dust bin are easy to clean with water and dry out. I'm thankful I was able to get the vacuum at the nice discounted price and will hopefully get another one for the second floor soon.

I thought about buying a robot vacuum for at least a year. It just felt like an unnecessary expense. After all, how much dirt can a robot vac REALLY pick up? A freakin lot! That’s how much! My child named our new jetbot snowball and it is now a member of the family. Honestly it took me a minute to figure out how to set it up. I’m pretty tech savvy but it wasn’t glaringly obvious how to get the thing to charge from a completely battery drained state. I let snowball map the first floor of our house itself and it did a great job! Check out the video. The attention to detail around the sofa leg amazed me. I can let it run twice a day and it doesn’t get hung up on anything. It’s easy to empty and really helps to keep the kitchen crumbs and mud room dirt at bay. Instead of sweeping every day I’m now only sweeping once a week! I did get this at a heavy discount through the Amazon Treasure truck. It was $250. I don’t think I would have paid full price, but now I know it is 100% worth the full price! It’s not a hassle at all, my kids don’t mess with it, and it’s almost completely self sufficient. Yay for snowball!

I’ve had this vacuum for a year now. I’m not pleased at all. It’s constantly getting clogged/jammed by the silliest things. I can’t leave a single small thing on the floor or it gets stuck & I have to manually remove it and clean it out. I’ve witnessed it attempt to climb OVER something, instead of go around it. Why does it have sensors if it doesn’t use them? I have 2 very high shedding dogs, a golden retriever & an Australian shepherd. I still find hair clumps under the edges of kitchen cabinets, even after the vacuum had completed the area. I purposely got a couch that has legs long enough for this vacuum to go under & the vacuum completely avoids going under the couch. There is PLENTY of head space for it to successfully do a clean. So there’s dog hair galore under there & I need to pull out my other vacuum & get down and reach under with that. So this vacuum in a way, seems completely useless. With as much as I need to intervene, I might as well just do the vacuum job myself. Last issue, I can’t seem to find a replacement charging port. The vacuum has stopped charging so I’m thinking the port is the problem, but there’s no replacement out there apparently. So this piece is trash if it’s unable to be charged. I can’t recommend this item, I’d run far away from it.

I bought this after being overwhelmed by the amount of per hair that accumulated in 2-3days. I didn’t honestly expect much, just a little help. This little robot packs a punch! It can complete the whole 1st floor in about an hour both carpet and hard wood. It has no issues with battery life. There are some things I wish were better: the app you download to communicate with the vacuum only lets one person be in charge of it, which is dumb. The dirt/dust bin is rather small so you do have to empty it every time. And rarely does it get stuck on something but when it does it’s things you wouldn’t think would be a problem. Like a lamp cord laying on the floor, now I’ve seen this vacuum practically lift itself off the floor to get over a rug and it gets stuck on a thin cord? However, with all its little quirks it’s still a GREAT robot vacuum! Buy it. You won’t regret it.

UPDATE: The LIDAR unit failed on my machine. Samsung took care of the repair and I was back up and running within a week. When it came back, I did get a little note to be more cautious with the LIDAR?! I only used it to clean! Anyway, I got it all set back up (couldn't just turn it on and use, had to remap, etc.) Ever since it came back, the cleaning has been spotty. Even though it claims to have cleaned an entire room, it only cleaned a small portion of it. It never did this prior to the repair. I also had to create a nogo zone under my table because all but the LIDAR fit underneath and it would get stuck. I miss the way it worked when I first got it. Hopefully I can figure out how to make it finish the job! ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 STARS I have never owned a robot vacuum before. I was looking at reviews and saw that the price on this unit had a significant price drop so I pulled the trigger. I had been looking at units with an upload station but ended up getting this. It is now just a part of my morning routine and the clean station uses a paper bag so I don't have that expense. The LIDAR mapping works well. And it has no problem getting over or around most obstacles. I have never killed the battery completely after doing a sweep of my entire main floor. So let me outline my pluses and minuses... +Requires minimal human intervention while cleaning +Works fairly quickly +It isn't excessively loud +Battery life is good +It works with my Smart Things system +Affordable price for premium machine +Minimal dog hair on rollers + Same unit as the one that comes with clean station but $450 less! -No full bin warning (at least not one that I have heard) -Most functions require app. -Can't save multiple maps -Support is difficult to access. Parts may be difficult to find. Overall, very satisfied with the unit. It cleans well and requires little assistance.

This has to be the best robot vacuum around . It’s made by Samsung that’s the first thing ! It was easy to set up and it’s super quite even on high suction! It cleans my house every day and you would be amazed on what it picks up. The app is easy to use and you can see where the robot vacuumed and what spots it missed . I highly recommend it ! For the price it’s worth it !
