Customers praise the POWERbot Essential Self-Charging Robot Vacuum's cleaning performance and strong suction power, noting its effectiveness on various debris including pet hair. However, some users experienced challenges with navigation, particularly around furniture, and reported that the vacuum's height sometimes prevented it from cleaning under low-clearance areas. Concerns were also raised regarding battery life and the robot's ability to consistently return to its charging station. Despite these drawbacks, many found the vacuum easy to use and relatively quiet.

I loved it and was amazed at it, but it did not have the timer function I wanted so I took it back and will get the next model up.

This vacuum is a workhorse. It has a wide strong suction area so it picks up a larger area than the Rumba ( I also have one). It's gentler than the Rumba when approaching walls furniture and other objects. It is bulky but does fit under the couch.

This is my second because my first had to be replaced. I actually liked the first better than this one. And the battery doesn’t last as long as the Bob. It’s also too tall to go under like the couches.

Love this Power Bot vacuum, it's my new best friend. I only use it on demand as my dog is never a fan of vacuums. I was impressed with how thorough a job it did and the ease of removing and cleaning the canister, I am definitely a fan

I was a little sceptical with the experience I had with a Roomba, but I am a big fan of Samsung so I decided to try when this came on sale.
It picks up well, not a deep clean but suitable for light maintenance cleaning. There was complaints about the noise but I thought it was quiet even in full pover mode (it also has a quiet mode). Anything on the floor under an inch high, lamp bases etc it will roll right over and if it goes under ano end table it has a hard time finding it's way out again since it can't see the ceiling to map it's way around. I just block obstacles like that with something so it can't get "lost".
It does everything the commercials say it does and I we are happy with it.

I love Samsung products. If they made soap, I would buy it and use it. The issue with this product is that if it hits something to much, it quits going. I want it to hit my kids toys out of the way and keep going.

Easy to work with does a nice job on hard floors and carpets rarely get stuck and if it does it make sense that it got stuck like a bathroom door shuts on it. The vacuum takes a relatively logical path every now and then we have to restart it but only because of things blocking its ways. Battery power is pretty good can do almost my entire first floor on one charge. Would by again!

Overall very happy with the product. We use it all over the house on all types of floors. Occasionally it will get stuck navigating around my dinning room table, but does just fine everywhere else.

It's a nice backup to my normal vacuum cleaner. I wouldn't depend on it to deep clean, but it does well enough to pick up some of the surface dust. I can't get it to dock on it's own and it's not quite as automatic as they claim, but all in all, it's useful with my hectic schedule.

I got a great deal and it's the best vacuum on the market. I love the way it is methodical and it does nice lines as if I did it myself. I'm so happy it doesn't bounce all over the place it's perfect.
