A Reliable Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

I have been looking for a reliable robotic vacuum cleaner that can clean carpeted floor with a price tag of not more than $220 . I used to have one , Kongan robot vacuum cleaner cost me $99.00,just about 13 months ago, quite useful , but alas it stopped working now and it is over its warranty period which is 12 months. I do not wish to buy online anymore as I find it is very hard to get their supporting service. I have been looking one called My Genie 990 X for around $230.00, but unfortunately it can only be bought online and not in store. Also I saw a bad review on it . I got one Hoover 2240 for $210.00 from Masters, but it was struggling on carpeted floor, and I returned it, and the supervisor agreed that it did not function well with carpet.Please let me have your advice and suggestion . Would definitely appreciate them. By the way I am in Melbourne. Thanks.

    I am finding my LG Roboking very reliable. I researched for a while to make sure I got the best one. I've hooked it up to my wifi and scheduled it to clean every day and it does a brilliant job.
    I really don't think you can get one that could be considered reliable for $220 unless it is second-hand or you have a different definition of reliable. Sorry :\

  • Hi,Xsacha, hymn … You may be right. Thanks.

    hi
    agree with Xsacha's comments about price range.
    I've had some irobot, and now have neato which I found reliable & work well
    Neato XV21 (an older model) is on ebay for about $AUD390 including shipping…. sometimes when Amazon have discounts (Especially when combined with AMEX deals) you can get new ones of this vintage for not a lot more

  • Thanks,Cheapgeek. Perhaps I shouldn't think of getting one this robotic thing. Really I could not afford some $400.00 for one. I will look for the normal vacuum though it will pain my back from time to time.

  • I have a neato botvac 80 and am happy with it. Cost me about AUD$580 I think.

    If you are looking to replace a vacuum, consider those light hand held ones (think Dyson v6/sticks, and a few other electrolux ones out there). The convenience of being able to pick it up, quickly vac, then hang it back on the wall makes vacuuming less of a chore and you are more inclined to do it more frequently. Otherwise, those clunky big barrel vacs are annoying to setup/drag around the house with cables etc.

    • Hi, Schwinn,
      Thanks for your suggestion. Yes the stick one may suit me. I hate to bend down from time to time and the dragging too. Good idea. Will look into it.

  • Bought an LG roboking in 2013, and it's still going strong after being used 2-3 times a week. Paid $400 I think which I thought was a bit much but none of the others compared. Then again with the collision detection it was way superior to alternatives and I don't like my furniture scratched and the others seemed to ram into anything in their way.
