Customers often highlight the POWERbot Turbo's impressive suction power and excellent cleaning performance, especially on carpets. However, feedback reveals concerns about battery life and navigation issues, with some users reporting difficulties finding the charging station and the robot getting stuck. The high price point is also a recurring criticism. While ease of use is generally praised, limitations in mapping and the robot's height preventing cleaning under certain furniture are also noted.
Three months old and the brush bearings seized. The brush VCA-RPB40 is no longer sold by anyone, including Samsung themselves so we now own a $1000 paperweight. Don't buy one of these if you can't find anywhere to buy the brush as you'll need it. We also have an iRobot Roomba 650 that cost $299.99 and it does just as good a job as the R9350 and is quieter (not to mention SPARE PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE FOR IT). If Samsung doesn't get their act together we'll get another Roomba and e-waste this one.

I was a little Skeptical of the Samsung powerBOT R9350. Due to the fact that I was looking at the R7070 with the Edge Cleaner. The R9350 DOES NOT have the Edge Cleaner Plus. But I am in NO WAY disappointed. This Baby has Extreme Suction Power. In Turbo Mode, the battery does not last as long but boy does it pick up the dirt. The Select and Go Features of the Bot are top notch. The R7070 and R 7040 Do not have this feature. What it does is make a Floor plan of the house and stores it in its memory. Then ant any point in time, you can recall your "house" Via the Samsung Smart Things App on your phone. You can then select which room to be cleaned, and at a push of a button it does the work for you! But the app does need a little refinement. Its a little clunky and you cannot delete floorplans. Hoping Samsung fixes this with another update. I've had this for about 2 Weeks and I have it run once a day. Mixture of Hardwood, Tile and Carpet. This runs while I am away. Let me tell you that I have never been happier with how clean my floors are. Especially since I don't have to vacuum them by hand. I actually enjoy walking bear foot when I get home now. There is no dirt, debris or dog hair on the ground! The Samsung powerBOT R9530 is a great investment if you can free yourself of a good chunk of change. But if the App could get a refresh, it would be a lot more smoother. P.S I still have not figured out how to get it to work via Google Home. I want to be able to use my voice to control the vacuum. I think I need to do some more research, but I do believe that you might need to purchase the Samsung Hub in order of it to work with Goggle Home or Alexa.

Vacuuming is no longer a chore! Meet Wall-E our Samsung PowerBot R9350. Wall-E is a friendly Bot that zooms around vacuuming all the crumbs and dust bunnies. Wall-E comes with an extra filter, remote control, barriers, cleaning brush and a charging base. I am very impressed with how smart Wall-E the Samsung PowerBot is. I fully charged Wall-E before sending him out to vacuum. Now Wall-E is a smart PowerBot, but he does require time to become familiar with his surroundings. At times Wall-E will bump into obstacles in his way, but he quickly figures out he needs to find another path. When Wall-E needs to have his dust bin emptied or needs to be charged he returns to his charging home. After I empty the dust bin Wall-E the Smart Bot shows me just how smart he is and resumes vacuuming where he left off. The Samsung PowerBot has Wi-Fi connectivity and works with Alexa, Google Assistant, a smart phone and even works with a remote control. You will need to download the Smart Home App. Setting up the app is fairly quick and easy. By far the Samsung PowerBot has the best powerful suction. With the cyclone force Wall-E is a powerful cleaning Bot. The dust bin on Wall-E is roomy enough so he can hold lots of crumbs and dust bunnies. Working the Powerbot with the included remote control is a breeze. I can point the remote to have the Bot perform spot cleaning. With the visionary mapping plus I can map out the room(s) Wall-E will be vacuuming. There is no worries that Wall-E will tumble down the steps as he is one smart PowerBot that is equipped with full view sensors. I can auto clean, spot clean or manual clean with the PowerBot. The boundary markers allows me to keep Wall-E out of an area I do not want him to venture in. I can have Wall-E clean on a schedule by setting up the auto clean mode. The filter is washable which is very nice and saves money on having to replace the filter. The Samsung PowerBot works flawlessly. Wall-E adjusts nicely going from a floor to a carpet. Whether Wall-E is vacuuming my rugs, wood floors, area rugs or tile floors he leaves no crumbs behind. Compared to other bots, Wall-E is quiet, more powerful and does a much better job. Wall-E is not only a Smart PowerBot he is part of our family. An amazing bot that does a phenomenal job of keeping our floors spotless.
