METAPO QQ-2 Green Infinuvo CleanMate 365 Robotic Vacuum

Pros: Cleans as well as the two Roombas we previously had for a lot less money. We have 2 labradors and use it approximately every other day to clean our very large kitchen. Picks up the pet hair as well as the dirt & sand dragged in from the yard so we can quickly mop when it has finished the cleaning cycle. The 'bump' feature is much more gentle than the Roomba and doesn't knock down the baby gates we use to keep our dogs (and the Infinuvo) contained in a specific area. Makes floor care much easier in such a large room.

Cons: Doesn't have the virtual wall feature that Roomba offers. The fragrance chamber thing doesn't work at all. Just like a Roomba, it won't go on our black area rugs (thinks it is falling down the stairs or something).

Other Thoughts: We had 2 Roombas (a Roomba Sage and a Roomba 500 series). Both gave up the ghost after 16 months of regular use with regular maintenance. Repairing them was just as expensive as buying a replacement, so we started shopping around.

Because the Infinuvo was half the price we decided to give it a shot when we saw that a 2-year warranty from NewEgg was only about $25 more. This robot is also easier to clean than the Roomba.....it doesn't seem to get as much pet hair and dirt stuck in the moving parts.

We've had it for a bit more than a month and so far we're very pleased.

Pros: I would rate this item very high if the battery lasted longer than 5 minutes

Cons: Has defective battery so unit does not operate more than 5 minutes before quitting.
