Samsung POWERbot Turbo Robot Vacuum: Let the vacuum clean for you. This robot vacuum's Visionary Mapping Plus system finds the best cleaning path around your house. Use your smartphone as a remote with Wi-Fi and Select & Go control.

A: My new upstairs neighbour's (bless their hearts) have a roomba and it's unbelievably loud and annoying. The biggest concern is that a normal person with a normal vacuum takes about ten minutes, while this thing bops around making ridiculous amounts of noise for over an hour at a time. That they also set it to auto clean starting at 8am while they are away on vacation is just rude as all heck.
Q: Does this have the mapping system where you can choose what rooms to vacuum?
A: Yes it does, however, I'm not having much luck with it - so far I have had it try to make a floor plan 5 times, and only one even vaguely resembles my apartment. The most rooms it has given me is 3, with most coming in at 1 or 2 rooms; my apartment actually has 4 or 5 - depending on how you count it. There is no way to modify anything about the map the bot creates, other than naming the rooms. Also, if it gets stuck, you have to start the mapping process over from the start, even if it was 90% done. The 5 maps I have made took 8 tries total.
A: I had mine do that too, sensors were dusty. Clean the unit of any dust and try again. It goes in circles because it thinks something is in its way and its trying to find a way around it when its just dust.
Q: How does the turbo version differ from the wi fi version that is a lot cheaper?
A: If you're comparing it to the Samsung SR2AJ9040U POWERbot Wi-Fi Robot Vacuum, then I say the biggest difference is double the suction power. The warranty on the 9350 is 10 years vs the 1 year the SR2AJ9040U comes with. They both come with Wi-Fi capability that you can control the bot via an app. However the 9350 you can designate areas to be clean (like a specific room/rooms) while I'm honestly uncertain regarding the SR2AJ9040U. When I did my research on the 9350 (on black friday) it seemed this was the only bot that had this awesome feature, which made me buy it. Being able to send the bot to clean the living room when guest were coming on short notice saves me the stress of getting home an hour before them. I live in a 5,000 sq ft home and takes my little bot some time to do it all which is why this feature was very desirable. Hope that helps
Q: Does this model have the side brushes?
A: No side brushes but I wouldn't let that stop a potential purchase. It has as a lot of suction power along with side channels to allow debris from the sides to be swept in. Hope this is helpful.
A: Yes, that is the 9350. My wife loves it. It really gets the floors clean. Our only problem with it is our dog, she attacks, it turns around and goes away. HAHAHA!
A: Yes it has a remote with a sort of laser pointer where you can aim on the desire area to be well vacuumed. & with it you can pretty much guide the bot to chase your kids if you wish lol
A: The roller on mine comes out with two little tabs and has a plastic spacer built into it that lets you slide scissors or a knife under and hair or string tangled around it. I have a cat, dog and two girls with long hair and it works great
