METAPO QQ-1 silver CleanMate 365 Robotic Vacuum

Pros: It picks up dirt, and most little scraps of cloth from the floor. It's really inexpensive compared to other brands. It's fun to play with and watch. If you're expecting something as good as the $200+ ones, this isn't the product, but it's nice to have around, and makes light vacuuming somewhat fun. More of a toy than a quality product.

Cons: It stops and errors alot. I have a small apartment with lots of junk in it, so this is not the ideal vacuum for my living space.

Other Thoughts: Fun. I think if people buy this more for the novelty of having one, and to use as a toy, it's a good purchase for the price. Kind of like a remote control car that does something. I got mine out of box, it was missing parts, but Metapo happily sent me the missing parts after filling out an rma form. I'd definitely buy one for a friend. The thing is, just don't expect alot from it, but it's definitely fun and amusing.

Pros: watching it roam around the floor is cute, scent compartment can make your apartment smell nice, ok job on tile. If i had cats they would enjoy it, though it wouldn't pick up their cat hair. Delivered promptly by Newegg.

Cons: fails on the shortest of carpet and doesn't pick up anything. It's internal algorithms are pretty basic, battery life is more like 20 minutes and makes a lot of loud beeps. My one bedroom apartment has too much carpet and would take about 5 full charges to even pretend it vacuumed it all.

Other Thoughts: It works alright in my tiny bathroom and kitchen, but I still have to mop those and sweeping would be far faster. If you're on a budget and your small house is all linoleum and you never actually vacuum or sweep, this product might be for you, otherwise it provides you little other than entertainment value. For the engineers: making your own robot out of its parts would require a complete redesign, I would recommend just designing your own and not bother with this. It relies on physical hit detection and there are better ways to navigate.

Pros: No chance to find out yet, if any.

Cons: Worked 20 minutes, then quited. That might be the reasom that this item is non-refundable, non-replaceable. Don't waste your time and money (like what I will have to during next few months).

Pros: UV light, returns to charger, circular sidesweeper helps get the edges. Has a remote with helpful UV and home buttons. Doesn't get stuck that often for me (hardwood and limited area rugs). Charge and go function lets you press a button and it will start after it fully charges. Hasn't scuffed anything so far.

Cons: Bright blinking charger light means you can't leave it charging under your bed unless you are a deep sleeper. I have to flip the power bar switch before bed. Remote isn't that useful, it's hard to get it to go where you want with the remote.

Other Thoughts: Does a pretty good job if you empty the dust bin each time. I have hardwood floors, but I do have a few area rugs (without tassles), and it manages well. It moves along as quickly as anything else I've seen. I don't usually watch it though because it does a good job. Cleans under my bed which saves on hands and knees type cleaning.

Pros: None

Cons: won't suck anything, feel cheap,.. slow, very slow.

Other Thoughts: Don't waste your time and money on this.
