Terrible product - not ready for market
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Vacuum is not ready for market. I purchased two models, the R 7065 and the R7040, based on positive reviews, one for upstairs and one for downstairs in my home. I should note that I have hardwood flooring on both levels of my home, and no pets. Both vacuums failed within 90 days, with the plastic yellow brush retaining clips breaking off both units. In addition, both units run out of power before they finish vacuuming, and instead of returning to base to re charge, they both just die in the middle of the floor. As others have stated, the Samsung "Smart Things" App is beyond bad, almost worthless. You can google other reviews, but needless to say I think it is just awful. There have numerous other error codes for both units, and when I contacted Samsung, I was told that under the manufacturer's warranty, that I would have to box them up and send them- AT MY OWN EXPENSE - to Samsung in New Jersey for repairs, and they would ship them back to me in 8 to 10 weeks. So, here I am, having spent 800.00 on two robot vacs, only to have them fail within 3 months. The Samsung customer service rep told me over the phone that "They are aware of minor issues with these units". Final resolution - both Samsung robot vacs got taken to the electronics recycle center, and I purchased two new iRobot Roomba i7 vacs. The Roomba cost almost twice as much, but they have proven to work perfectly so far.

Doesn't clean entire area
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum doesn't follow a directional pattern to ensure full area coverage. It just randomly roams around the room and misses huge areas of the floor.
