We were happy with the cleaning the machine provided. Unfortunately we needed spare parts for the Lulu tower. The supplier, Robot MY Life tooks weeks, after numerous follow ups, to reply and then told us we would receive an invoice to order the parts. After 3 more weeks we cut our losses and changed to another brand. Avoid this company the service is non existant!! Show details
Great reliable robot cleaner for our white tiled floor. Navigation and app function well. Lulu station keeps the mop clean for a couple of weeks at a time between refill. The dust collection chamber appears small but with its compactor requires emptying every 4 weeks. The mop leaves behind some of the more stubborn stains but the waste tank gives… Read more
a satisfying indication of results. Unfortunately, it has recently stopped operating and so far I have been waiting over a month for a response from customer support after raising multiple tickets and calling the automated phone service. I just want to get the cleaner working again.
Vac was amazing for first 11.5 months. Rust has appeared on the inside of a sensor. Unable to clean. Have contacted customer service but similar to the last two reviews, have had one reply but nothing more. Issue has been going on for a month. Unless receive a response in next few days. Will go to ombudsman. Show details

Product (pcb, sensors etc.)got rusted just after 2 years of use, basically have to pay the full price to repair so have to buy new Show details
Poor Customer Service – Avoid If Outside Melbourne – I purchased the Hobot Legee D8, but it stopped working about a month ago. Despite the product being under warranty, I’ve been calling their customer service every day, yet the issue remains unresolved. Instead of providing a real solution, they send multiple troubleshooting emails, one after another, with no results. It’s been a frustrating… Read more
experience, and I’m disappointed in the lack of support.
Additionally, they are based in Melbourne, so if you're located outside of Melbourne, I strongly advise against purchasing. Their support seems inadequate if you’re not local, which only adds to the frustration.
Excellent product – Excellent performance. The Tangle-less function is handy because I have 2 long fur cats - their fur does not get tangled around the roller every single time but is suctioned directly into the waste bin before the rollers hit it. I hused to have to vacuum every day because of the amount of hair from the cats and dirt coming in (since I live on a… Read more
farm, there is always stuff blowing around outside and on shoes). It has made my life so much easier and my floors are always clean. It does a deep clean mopping function which is good to use weekly for high traffic areas. The mapping function is good, it gets better as the unit works, but there's a learning curve in how to get it to work perfectly, like using under-couch as a curtain setting so if your fabric hangs underneath it will still go there. I can't recommend it highly enough, even for first time users. And it's made in Taiwan, not China which is also a plus.
Love love love – I absolutely love my legeee, it saves me so much time. I can go to work and come home to a clean house. Very easy to use and see what areas have been cleaned or not. I have tiles all over and a rug and it does a pretty good job on both surfaces. Show details
False warranty – First twelve months , hobot worked well except need to replace the brush roller every 50 cycles , otherwise the mopping plate would not vibrate to clean. Thus the options would be to use robot as either mop without brush or vacuum brush roller only . More disappointing, was the poor customer service for warranty care. At the 13 month mark, the… Read more
robot started to go backwards . After multiple phone calls , I was provided return postage to return robot for repairs. Two months later, the robot was returned in the same package with the same problem. I have attached the video . The robot was supposedly repaired with change in sensors but the packaging looked remarkable similar to when I sent the machine back for repair. I spent the next month trying to contact the service center on the phone and via email.
I would caution those contemplating this machine to purchase knowing that the supposed 2 year warranty is a false promise and you take your chances with the robot. If it works, it cleans well but has high recurring cost with need to frequently replace brush roller for full functionality.

Potentially a Terrific product. Let down by abysmal Sales/Service Agents – Great Taiwanese Manufactured Robot Vacuum that when used with the recommended liquid additive also Mops and Polishes. Ladar mapping of the house, and an interactive smartphone app. Rarely became trapped. Always returned to its dock for recharging when finished cleaning/mopping. Our Hobot was programmed to clean house twice weekly. Could climb a… Read more
small 1 cm step up into the bathroom. Our unit operated faultlessly for just on 18 months before we decided a new rotary brush and the brush cage which has a rubber edging needed replacing. After some 6 months the sales and service agents Robot My Life did eventually produce these items, which we duly purchased and fitted. Software upgrades were transmitted by the manufacturer end of 2024, which were seamlessly updated on our unit. Recently just on 2 years of life, the unit fails to proceed. Hobot Legee has a voice, and declares it is trapped, needs to be relocated and restarted, regardless of where placed. The caterpillar track drives and brushes rotate for a second before the dreaded Legee is trapped alert. Okay so the unit requires repair. And now the problems really begin. Going to the Hobot manufacturers website in Taiwan and completing the online service request, an email form generates with it, Carbon Copied to Robot my Life the Australian service agent.. Robot my Life is the retailer of Moebot Robotic Lawn Mowers, now notorious for failed service be it warranty or repair of Moebot Robotic Mower products sold by them. If service standards for the Legee prove to be similar.. Its a shame, the Hobot Legee is a great unit when operating. I will update this review after a reasonable period of time to see if Robot my Life are able and willing to support the Hobot Product... Edited Update. Talk about a run around by Robot My Life. Weeks. Requesting video's, and then advising the product was out of warranty. I had been very specific, this was NOT a warranty claim or issue. Hobot has them listed as the service Agents for Aus/Nz. I was seeking an address for return of product for Service / Repairs. What the Service Inspection Fee was for this product? And of Course I appreciated there would be a parts cost, to be determined with a return freight cost. Repair time? All too hard or too specific for them. They would advise me at sometime an address for return, and they would tell me a cost to repair, before actually repairing. Eventually sent a contract, open ended to sign that I would pay unknown costs and postage. My decision invest $249 and buy a new Arlec Robot Vacuum / Mop from Bunnings. Let you know how this one goes, once run.
Limited support. Numbers not easily available – Initially liked it but that soon changed. 4 months of pain. Cut losses. Unit failed after 11 months. (12 month warranty). Due to delivery taking longer than a month initially they claimed it was out of warranty. 1st Contact: Date Support ticket lodged: 30 July 2024 When ever Legee hits a wall or small obstacle, the Legee stops and presents an… Read more
error “Legee is stuck, please adjust the bumper”.
Stress fracture evident around water tank radiating from factory fitted screws. Caused leak in to caterpillar and sensor board
2nd Contact: Follow up 6/8/2024: RMA approved and Shipping label emailed to me. I posted the unit the same day.
3rd Contact: 28 August 2024 :Follow up on status of repair.
4th Reply received 5/9/2024: Response from support team was this has been escalated to their technical team for repair.
5th contact; 16 October 2024 Advised by support agent they don’t do refunds after 30 days.
Had to cite legal action with Australia’s consumer laws if not no shipping tracking was received within 2 weeks or refund provided.
6th Contact 22nd October replacement posted, shipping tracking received on the day of deadline.
Item bounced between WA and VIC 4 times. Obviously problem with shipping label.
Now December. Cut losses.
Summary: 3 months to get a replacement posted! Terrible. Then... 1 month with item "lost" in Aus Post.
Thought this feels like a scam from Robotmylife
Just don't bother. go to a Brick and Mortar store like, and on units like this where lots can potentially go wrong (it is electronics, wheels and water after all), pay for extended warranties.
A versatile Cleaning Robot at a great price! – Robots are possibly going to be human’s next best friend! We are a family of 4 with two boys in early teens. Both me and my partner like the house to be clean all the time which is not always possible due to work and children’s commitments however, since getting our new Legee D8 around three months ago, we have experienced a much cleaner house.… Read more
It’s an intelligent machine which came in at a great price with similar functions being offered by market leaders like Roborock and Ecovacs! Our main focus was to buy a robot with service centres within Australia and the possibility of talking to people rather than waiting in phone queues before getting to an agent sitting in some other part of the world. I spent a lot of time understanding the features of Hobot Legee D8 with Callum from their sales team before buying it and I am glad we made that choice!
Hobot Legee cleans the floors and carpets equally well. It senses type of flooring and changes modes instantly which means carpets do not get wet and floors get the shine due to wet mopping function. I generally use stain cleaning mode for kitchen as that is the place where we create a lot of mess during the day and rest of the house is cleaned between standard and Eco modes. Saying that I wish it could clean the wall skirtings which we still need to manually clean. If One needs a stain clean all over the house the battery dies a bit earlier when compared to other modes however the stain mode makes the Legee work harder so it’s pretty understandable.
We have two different levels at home however Hobot Legee has created two separate maps for both floors and we can switch between maps to clean both locations on regular basis. As the Lulu cleaning station for Legee is on lower floor of our house, I need to manually get it to lower level after it completes cleaning of our upper floor. I qucily change map settings to lower floor and command it to go home, which is simple!
Saying all this, It gets stuck on a specific area in our house regularly (legs of a study table) and I have tried using “weaken Climbing” function which sometimes works in that location. I honestly don’t mind as it works perfectly in all the other areas and If it gets stuck, we get a message on the phone so we can get it to start work again. I feel so good when I am at work and I get a message, Legee has completed cleaning
I have emptied the bin a few times and cleaned the filter using the brush. I recommend cleaning the roller brush regularly and removing any dirt and keep an eye on Lulu station for water to be added and removed (dirty). I recommend that the cleaning accessories include a bigger brush to clean the filter and dust around the trash can and rollers. The cleaning schedule options works well however I do not use it as I like to get the whole floor cleared before starting the cleaning. I wish I could be like Legee to start cleaning as scheduled however I am glad I have the option Thank you Callum for all your help and service and to Hobot Legee team for creating this beautiful machine !

I’m really happy with my Q10. It cleans the floors well. Obviously there will be some areas that require some human attention but overall it does a pretty good job. The floor under my bed has never been cleaner. The only negative is the sensor cleaning. The app advises they require cleaning I’m having difficulty removing the front casing to… Read more

My second lady in the house !!! In combination of having a long haired dog who sheds continuously, and being a full time worker, It was difficult maintaining a hair free home. Thanks to my Legee, my tiles and carpet are cleaner, and I now come home to a cup of tea rather than housework. Very happy customer. Thankyou Show details
Best robot hoover I have used! I did try another reputable brand but in my experience both Legee’s I’ve purchased have not only performed better but far easier to use and maintain. UPDATE: I have attempted many times to contact the service/sales in an attempt to order replacement filters, with no luck. The rep who called me asking me to leave a… Read more
review said he would follow up with my request as well as sending me a complimentary floor cleaning product. Neither requests appear to have been actioned. Disappointing given the price tag.

seem to have same experience as many others: worked well to start eg 12 months or so, but cant get the replacement cleaning materials now, buy online but after payment no delivery and appear to be no longer available, no response to followup queries, limited or no customer service subsequently, had to reclaim cost of online cleaning materials… Read more
purchase from credit card company etc. so probably have to say waste of money in hindsight. not sure now whether to junk it and write off
It gets lost constantly and forgets its maps. If you pause it, it’s loses where it is and then can’t find its way home. It Doesn’t seem smart enough to not crash into walls/objects. Cleaning wands on lulu disintegrate pretty quick. It does vaccum but it’s Not worth the $$. Show details
So upset with this purchased. It mops my carpets & now mop pads fall off. I have tiled floor & carpet & dogs. It does vacuum well, but have sent a number of emails to call me & they will only email me telling i have to replace parts every 6 months. Where does it say this on the website as I wouldn't have brought this product. Why is it mopping my… Read more
carpet which is ruining the mop pads??? Now I'm out of pocket for accessories for an already expensive item

After being happy with the Robot Legee D8 for 2 years we purchased the Hobot Legee Q10 in July to use on the ground floor of our 2 storey home. Not only does this model have a superior suction power but, as advertised, gets right into the corners. So happy with its performance on both our rugs and timber floors. Effortlessly cleaning and the unit itself is so easy to keep clean and maintain. Show details
The Hobot vacuums pretty good. It sometimes gets stuck in a tight space. I would generally exclude those tight spots from the program. It maps the house easily and knows where to go and not to go. Putting up virtual barriers via the app is easy and effective. It can be started and stopped remotely via the app and it will give feedback to your… Read more
phone at certain stages of its cycle or if it’s in trouble. It’s mopping function is good for light cleaning. Would need a bit more force and/or detergent for heavier cleaning. Overall I’m pretty pleased with it.
The Q10 pro is a good robot vacuum and mop, it vacuums really well and mops good. The only thing with the mopping is that it might not get all the stains in one fo, but on thise areas like the kitchen I can program the Q10 to do that certain section again. Show details
My Hobot Legee Q10 Pro is one of my favourite appliances. I just set “her “ in motion and come home to clean floors. I have a mix of polished timber, floor rugs and carpet. I’m so relieved to not have to vacuum with a traditional cleaner anymore. Show details

Very poor customer service: 1) half the product delivered originally - had to chase up the rest of the order 2) promised cleaning solution as compensation for long delivery delay - not provided 3) Unit failed under 2 years - sensors not working - just told to watch videos. 4) Spent nearly $2000 on this not happy Show details
The unit vacuums to a reasonable standard on both hard floors and carpet. But that's about where the positives end. Unless you fix the charging station to the wall, the unit will knock it and fail to dock. It regularly forgets its own maps and has to be reprogramed. They cannot supply replacement filters or brushes. They will take payment for… Read more
them and then supply endless excuses as to why they canned be delivered. I could go on, but do yourself a favour and by a Dreame instead
Appliance worked well a few times and then the battery recused to charge. Being covered by warranty I returned the unit to Robot my Life. When the appliance came back, nothing changed and the battery wouldn't charge. I complained and was told they had changed the battery. I assumed there was something wrong with the unit and requested either a… Read more
refund or the delivery of a brand new unit. I returned the appliance one more time to be told they wouldn't replace it with a new one nor process a refund. Their offer was a refurnished unit apparently used as a demonstrator. Considering the appliance only worked a few times I thought I was entitled to a replacement of a brand new unit or the refund of the price paid. So, I cannot recommend this company and I wish I could give them ZERO. stars.
The robot functions Ok on hard surfaces although often fails to find it's way back to charge or fails to identify the current map. On dark carpet it is totally useless and just spins in a circle before reporting it is stuck. I have had several robot vacuum cleaners and this is by far the worst never even cleaning close to the edge. The Lulu… Read more
dock is completely useless with cleaning brushes that disintegrate and apparently no replacement parts available. Spend a bit more and buy a better quality unit.
Initial thoughts after 1 year – Very disappointed. The first machine lasted 6 months and then stopped working. We got very poor service to replace or repair under warranty. Eventually got a replacement shipped to us which was a second hand machine in very poor condition, also packed up after a few months. getting new mops and rollers for the machine also never arrived.

Hobot D8 + Lulu Tower – Vacuum cleaner vacuums and mops well and is easy to use. Cleans the whole house on one charge and is quiet. Nice that the Lulu tower cleans after mopping. Fast shipping. Very happy with the purchase. Show details
Loved it initially – I loved my leggee the only problem is my dog peed on it and it is not and it has stopped working altogether. I wiped it straight away but it must not be sealed against spill. Please is there anything I can do to get him going again
Legee D8 and Lulu Tower makes cleaning easy – Really happy with the Legee D8. I had the D7 previously, and the D8 is a massive improvement. Manages small steps easily, extra large dust compartment. Highly recommend this unit. I have two inside dogs, so running the Legee everyday keeps the house nice a clean. The Lulu tower is also highly recommended, makes everything even easier. I use this… Read more
