Yes, Rambot has been going strong for nearly 3 years! He's actually cleaning my floors right now while I see whether there's a newer model that compels me to replace him. So far, I don't see anything worth buying that will do much more than him. Mechanically and electronically, everything works like it did the first week. He's a bit dirtier but he loves a good bath!
Seriously, for a cheap robot vacuum, this is a great deal. It's whisper quiet on a medium rug and only a little noisier on wood. It picks up cat hair like nobody's business, and gets dust, dirt and sand, too. It does love to suck up cords, cat toys and hair ties but any vaccuum would. You have to scan the floor for little debris like that before you let it run. I have only two wishes:
* He tries to go under things that are nearly his own height and he gets stuck. That makes it hard to turn him on and leave the house, because he'll obviously never finish his job. It would be nice if he worked with the magnetic boundaries.
* The dust bin fills quickly and is a bit messy to clean. I have 2 cats and I had no idea how much hair they shed until I got Rambot! But the hair collects quickly so I need to remember to clean the dust bin after every accuum. Things tend to go flying around just a bit when you pull out the dust bin and roller bar.
But that's it, which is saying something or a piece of tech that's nearly 3 years old. Great product!
INITIAL REVIEW from April, 2017 --
My son ridiculed me when I bought this. He has been asking me to buy a "real"; vacuum cleaner to use in his room but we have a very small house and no place to store a full-size vacuum, so I bought this iLife after doing a lot of research. We have no traditional carpet in our house. We have tiled kitchens and bathrooms and hardwood with throw rugs and area rugs in every room. We live by the beach and we're always tracking in sand and none of us remember to remove our shoes at that door. Plus my two teenagers are pretty bad housekeepers and we have a cat that comes in & out of the house so we almost always have dirt and dust on the floor.
He didn't think this vacuum would be any better than the $30 stick vacuum that I bought a few months ago to use on the area rugs. But it is so much better! It even works better than sweeping the hardwood floors. My son named him Rambot (silent "T"). I usually close off the bedrooms and bathroom to force Rambot to stay in the kitchen, living room, hallway and entry. Even then, Rambot works for 2-1/2+ hours before going home. He does a great job of getting along edges and even okay with corners. You'll go nuts if you try to figure out the path/pattern he follows to complete the house. It's very random and I really don't understand how he can be sure he reaches every nook before going home -- but he does!
I have a couple thin area rugs in the kitchen and hallway that Rambot does clean. It usually flips up the edges as it moves over them but once it's on the rug it does fine and hasn't gotten jammed yet. It goes over the bound edges of my other thin area rugs without issue. It also cleans the knobby seagrass rug in my bedroom but I've stopped using it there because it actually pulls up the fibers and is ruining the rug after just one use (it's a cheap rug, I guess I'm not too surprised).
A couple tips before you vacuum:
* Just like with a full-size vac, pick up small bits of paper, strings, hair ties, cords lying on the floor or any other small objects that could get wrapped around the roller.
* The first couple times you let the vac get under furniture, you'll be shocked at what it picks up. You'll have to empty the dust cartridge multiple times before it's done cleaning
* Don't worry about whether it'll get to a certain spot. It will -- it will just take a while!
I haven't used the remote control much, because I tend to turn Ramot on then either go to bed or leave the house. I have used the "Home" button a couple times, and it works well.
All in all, I'm thrilled at this purchase. My floors have never been cleaner!
-I do have a powerful regular manually-operated Dyson vacuum that I use for big messes. I do use it a lot less now that I have this iLife, but I do not think this robot vacuum completely replaces the Dyson.
-I clean this iLife vacuum after each and every day that I use it (which is around twice a week). If you are the kind of person that does let the recommended maintenance go by the wayside, I cannot speak to how it runs when you stop being diligent in maintaining it. After each cleaning, I will examine the brush roll for any hair that is wrapping around the brush and cut away as needed as well as emptying the bin. This takes less than 2 minutes for me to do each time.
-Though this does have scheduling features, I never use it. My life schedule is pretty crazy, so I prefer to just start the robot whenever I want it to run by myself.
-When I run the robot, I do try to spend a few minutes to set it up for success. That is, I take small items such as toys off the floor that it may run into. I pick up large items that may obstruct access to tight spaces I want cleaned (i.e. kid toy bins on the floor that may block access to the floor underneath the couch that I want cleaned). I take charging cables that it may get caught on off the floor. I would also close off areas of the house I do not think need to be cleaned by the robot (e.g. bathrooms, some closets, areas I just recently cleaned, etc.)
-I live in a condo with the ground floor mostly consisting of short, standard carpet (3/4 of total floor area) with the area of the kitchen being tile (1/4 of total floor area). I base this robot cleaner on the ground floor, but do occasionally take it to the second floor where it is all carpet (except for bathrooms which is tile, but I do not let the vacuum go in to the bathrooms).
-We are also frequented by a long-haired, hypoallergenic dog when family often visits.
#How does this compare to regular human-operated vacuums?
-No, this will not replace your regular manually-operated vacuum. However, I definitely use my regular vacuum a LOT less by running this robot vacuum regularly. Also, now when I do use my regular vacuum, I notice that I am a lot faster. This may be because the robot is already doing a great job or I feel less need to be as thorough when I do vacuum myself.
-In some ways, this is better than vacuuming myself. This vacuum easily gets areas of the floor under my furniture (i.e. couch, coffee table, chairs, etc.), which is something I skip on doing because of my laziness when I vacuum manually anyways. I definitely vacuum a LOT less manually by using this nifty robot.
#How well does it clean?
-This is probably the question most of you are asking. I can say that it picks up most of the stuff I see with my naked eye that I want picked up before cleaning, and the cleaning bin is always pretty full of a bunch of junk I didn’t even know was on my floors.
-As above, it does not replace a full regular vacuum.
#What is its algorithm for cleaning?
-Note that the algorithm that this vacuum uses is of the random trial-and-error “bump-and-redirect” variety instead of the perfectionist and orderly straight-line variety that is found in more expensive robovacs. This means that it moves somewhat randomly: it can go and clean one corner of the room for a few seconds then move all the way to another corner of the room before going back to clean another part of the first corner. This does not bother me, but it can bother others in two scenarios:
1. If you are the type that will watch the robot clean for hours, it may drive you crazy that it seems to be doing it less efficiently than a human would vacuum. However, if you leave it alone to do its thing and run for an hour or so, I think it does generally get most of the floor as clean and as much as possible. I am usually away from home or sleeping on a different floor when it is running. If you run it while at home, you have to be prepared that when you sit stationary for an hour, the robot will inevitably come and make several passes around your area.
2. If you have a lot of expensive things on the floor that you do not want to get lightly bumped (e.g the wooden legs of an antique chair), this may also bother you. However, the bump is VERY light and does not cause damage on anything I see..
#Good features of note:
-Good Battery: As other users have noted, I found that the regular battery life for this is usually a little over 2 hours.
-Pretty Quiet: I think it is pretty quiet on its regular mode. Obviously, it is a little louder on the higher power cleaning mode. However, I found that either way, it definitely does not bother me when it is running. I barely notice it is running when it is on the default cleaning power mode. Other reviewers note that this robot cleaner is one of the quietest ones out there when testing it against others. Having seen my friends’ other robot vacuums, I certainly believe this one to be one of the quieter ones.
-Will it fall down the stairs?: No, I have not had trouble with it falling down the stairs when it vacuums my second floor. It consistently and always knows when to stop at the edge before anything bad happens.
-Remote Control: This comes with remote control, which not all robots reportedly do.
-Easy to Set-Up and Use: I am pretty much an out-of-the-box user for this vacuum. I installed it using the quick user/start guide and just let it run. I did not play with any of the fancy settings. It was super easy to set up, and then I just let it do it’s thing.
-How does it compare to others?: The design and features of the iLife A4s seem pretty similar to the lauded RoboVac11 in the same price-range.
#Downsides?
-I consider this an entry-level robot vacuum. Don’t expect this to be a Roomba with all those advanced features like wifi connectivity through iPhone apps.
-I will note that rarely it will try to power through things like cords and cause things to fall.
-If your house has a LOT of different rooms or the floors are very big, then this robot may not be for you as it can miss rooms completely or get trapped in some rooms before returning to its base to charge. However, I imagine this is the case for most robot vacuums in general.
#Summary
-I think this is a good value for something that is often priced 2 to 3 times as much as this one is selling for. It definitely saves me time and enhances my life.
Top reviews from other countries
This things works great. Is much much quieter than the Roomba 606, and has a handy remote.Removes more dirt and pet hair (two dogs), than i could ever with a broom. The dogs always bring in loads of dirt and debri and the iLife cleans it up without any problem. Comes with a cleaning brush and two extra rotating sweepers, and opening and emptying out the bin is a snap. well designed and well built for the price. Have not tried it on carpet as don't have one.
Highly recommended given the price and performance.
Pros. Effective, programmable, easy to use, easy to clean, quiet operation, has a cute personality:)
Cons. Nothing
All in all... Full value for money.
Update 2: Issue was resolved in a day after contacting seller. Though they do not official support in India yet (soon to launch), seller went out of their way to get the issue fixed. Happy with the product, happy with support.
Update 1 : my robot stopped working after 4 months. On contacting support, they sent me a pair of wheels and asked to replace them myself. The new arrived wheels are very poorly soldered connections and mine came off easily. Now I'm still trying to get my robot fixed.
The first time I ran this around ( post the perceived clean lady), I was surprised by the amount of dust it could collect. I now use this regularly in the eve and ensure my kids sleep in a clean room with no dust breathing through the night. On an average it takes 20 minutes to clean a 250sft bedroom ( just a estimate) and the end of it the room was quite clean ( verified by using actual vacuum cleaner).
As expected we need to primer the room by clearing the room from all big objects (like toys, pens, etc) before you run the bot ( it did pick up some chalks from under the bed which my girl lost 3 months ago 😀.
The bot does require some attention like cleaning the brushes after every round of cleaning and emptying the bags but this is least I could do for a clean room.
Moving from one room to another was not consistent but I prefer putting the bot in one room with closed doors and allow it to do magic for about 20 min before moving it to the next room.
For now 5 stars will revisit this comment in a few weeks and actual usage
