Samsung POWERbot VR7000 Pro

Gets the job done, handy little cleaner for around the house – Was looking for a miny me and bought this off the shelf hoping to make cleaning around the house that one bit easier. Can take some time cleaning, but value for money? I think its safe to say so. Show details

Product needs much more development – An expensive product that hasn’t really been perfected. It never got back to it's dock and really you need an empty space for it to function anywhere near effectively. Used it on both hard and carpeted floors. Show details

Samsung Powerbot VR20M7070WS – None of us enjoy vacuuming the floor with a conventional cleaner. I didn't consider that the early robot cleaners were going to be very effective, as they were nothing more than glorified sweepers. Now that there are a lot of true vacuum robot cleaners on the market, I felt that it was time to give one a try. When I spotted one of these Samsung… Read more

robots at a good price, my decision was made.

Setting the cleaner up was easy & once connected to my wifi network, I can control it from my smart phone & Google home speakers. Of course, it also has it's own remote control. The suction is good & combined with the rotating silicon rubber brush picks up most bits of 'stuff' that we drop about our homes. The dust container is easy to empty & the foam rubber filter is easy to clean under a tap. 2 filters are supplied with the vacuum, so I rotate them after each clean, allowing the just washed filter to dry between uses. The cleaner uses built in cameras to map the rooms & is programmed to try to clean all areas in a logical way, rather than some other cleaners which simply clean areas at random. There are also proximity detectors built in, which reduce the number of collisions with furniture, obstructions etc. These generally work well, but it still occasionally hits some obstructions (some cleaners hit all obstructions, before stopping & changing direction). The rotating brush can get caught on some obstructions such as pieces of clothing (socks, underwear, towels), tassels on rugs, thin floor mats etc. so I try to pick these up before I start the vacuum. If the vacuum gets stuck, it will turn off & wait for you to remove the obstruction. The vacuum also has an 'Edge' mode, which allows it to clean closer & more effectively along skirting boards etc.

The vacuum automatically senses carpet or hard floors & reduces power on hard floors, to save power. My home a large 2 bedroom unit has mostly carpetted floors, barring bathrooms & kitchen. On mostly carpet the vacuum lasts about 50 minutes on a full charge. When the vacuum starts to run low on power, it will try to return to the charging dock for charging. Once it has charged it will resume vacuuming. Occasionally, it will fail to find the charging dock & simply run out of power. It is easy to pick it up & put it on the dock to charge.

I am happy with the Powerbot & would recommend it. It doesn't totally replace a conventional vacuum cleaner & I still do a regular vacuum about once a month, for a 'deeper' clean.

Works extremely well – We have had several robot vacuums over the years, and this is as good (and in some ways better) than the best one we previously had (a Neato). Firstly, if you have carpet then this type of vacuum cleaner simply won't do a particularly good job. Robot vacuums just don't have anywhere near the suction power of a good plugin vacuum cleaner. … Read more

However if like me you have hard floors (tiles / timber), then suction power is not so important and this sort of machine can work really well.

One of the most important features for robot vacuums is their navigation, and this Samsung can navigate around our house with no issues. It cleans in a logical pattern and always finds it's way back to base.

It picks up plenty of dirt, cleans edges and corners really well, and will run for about an hour on a charge.

It's a bit noisy, but no more so than an ordinary vacuum. It is easy to empty and clean the dust container, and the brush underneath is also easy to remove. It is a bit tricky to clean hair out of the brush (Samsung claims it is self cleaning - it isn't).

Overall I am extremely satisfied with this machine and would thoroughly recommend it (for hard floors).

Handy Little Helper – 1 Border Collie, 1 Schnauzer, 1 Poodle, farm, 3 kids = mess. "Sammy" runs around hard floors, carpet & under furniture daily; I'm amazed what he picks up. Better than husband's cleaning? ;) Show details

Exceeded Expectations ... Impressive Performance – Our little guy "Wall-E" just does it all. Picks up so much dust I thought I didn't have. Its own logical way covers all rooms/floors. Then goes home to recharge! Show details ·  1

Excellent – We absolutely love our powerbot! To the point that he is now named Dusty. For a robot it does an excellent job. We have mostly tiles and rugs through out. Our pet dogs hair used to be a daily chore, but with Dusty.. No more. Show details

Meh – Vacuums well for maintenance. Is not very good at spatial awareness. Slams into walls and furniture, has damaged walls and broken plant pots. I like that it connects to google tho. Show details

Dumbest thing ever bought – Had for a year now and has never returned home......find it in the morning trying to climb a wall or doing a three stooges routine....... continuously running into a wall..... done all the change things around requirements yada yada yada..... just dont get one Show details

Love my powerbot – I have had my samsung powerbot for 6 months now and love how clean my house is everyday. Our house is tiled throughout and the powerbot has no issues cleaning the floor surface. I like that the powerbot has a square head opposed to round so it can get into the corners.  Show details

Totally worth it! – We have vinyl plank flooring throughout the house with 3 heavy shedding dogs and two long haired cats that drop hair EVERYWHERE and this vacuum handles it no worries. The floors are perfectly clean daily when I get home and vacuuming was one of my most hated chores so this was worth every penny! Just be careful leaving phone charging cords etc around because it’s powerful enough to suck them in and shred them then they get stuck!  Show details

its not too bad – Have owned this for just 12 months, before warranty was up, it stopped working and would not start up had to get it repaired under warranty. It does the job well while it runs but sometimes does run over the magnetic strip boundary wall. It does however recharge and then go about its business cleaning the rest of the house.  Show details

Perfect for a house with a Toddler – Perfect for the wooden floor and not so good on the carpets ! Its not the best for the corners either however in general it does a good job . We use the app and turn the vaccuum cleaner on while we are at work and our toddler is at her childcare , so we come back to a clean house every day.  Show details

Samsung Powerbot R7040 – I love this product! We have thirteen (yes, 13) pets and this robotic vacuum manages to pick up all the fur, hair and duck feathers! Moves seamlessly from hardwood to thick carpet/rugs, fits under the bed and a low coffee table. The scheduler works a treat, I just have to remember to empty the dust-compartment daily. Set and forget! The pets just ignore it now.  Show details

Works ok – Works ok. I expected more from it due to the price I paid. Next door neighbours kids called and left my floor messy. The vacuum worked really , I was impressed with how quiet it was and how it even cleaned the corners. I would recommend for busy families it saves time.9  Show details

very good only problem does not like black circles – we are very happy with it's performance it has vacuumed three bedrooms hall and lounge all carpet also kitchen dinning and living areas vinal .But it does not like the rug in the living room which has a rug with large dark circles,if it was not for this then it is perfect can't say any more  Show details

this is a beauty the only problem is it uses the battery up quicker on carpet – cleans better than our meile did ,but have not ironed out the full workings yet just let it find boundaries and does not like the black circles on our living room rug,it goes into circular motion to get away from it .but would surely recommend it to any one that didn't have geometric design with very dark markings  Show details

Does the job – Does the job I run it daily however have had to get it repaired twice now. Does do a good job when working and love the fact it will go charge itself and then go back out and finish the job from where it last finished. Can get lost from time to time on return journey and will mince up phone charger cords if left out.  Show details

Does the job – I bought this Powerbot vacuum about a month ago for my mum who has dust allergies and so far it has performed well with no issues. It's great as she doesn't need to lug around a regular vacuum every day. We just set it to clean the house or move it into a bedroom and let it do its thing. It collects a fair bit of dust considering the frequency of… Read more

use (once every 1-3 days) and it does a calculated and thorough cleaning. It works very well on flat and carpeted surfaces, though it can have trouble traversing onto light rugs/mats as it will catch on the edges, I usually just remove the mats before the cleaning starts. I would recommend this vacuum as a great supplement to a more thorough vacuuming, especially if you have dust allergies.

Not that great! – Not that great of a product. It worked fine for a while and then it definitely lost its sucking power and I had to go purchase another vacuum from JB hi fi (a Dyson) which isn't robotic but definitely works better but is a lot more expensive! I wouldn't get another robot one.  Show details

Do NOT waste your money – It is horrible product, gets lost all the time, does not return to base to recharge, gets stuck, does not map out house, app does not work properly, really avoid, a lot of money for nothing. I had a cheap version and it worked much better than this one. Not worth it.  Show details

RIP OFF- money better spent eslewhere – To say I feel ripped off would be a gross understatement. For close to $1000, my hoover ($200) does a much better job. The bot lasts approx 30 mins, during this time I have to follow it around as it easily gets confused and "pauses" requiring me to press play again. It gets caught on varying surfaces easily/and or furniture. I feel like I am needing to "baby sit it"- more effort than what actually vacuuming myself would require.  Show details

Great when works, but have had too many problems – Upon the first few months, this vacuum was awesome. our whole house is hardwood floors and we also have pets which it cleaned up the hair perfectly. After about 3 months we had a problem where it would start a cycle but not actually vacuum (just drive itself around the house), took it in and got it fixed through Harvey Norman. Once we had it back… Read more

it was working great, but about 1 month later it kept banging into stuff and came up with bumper sensor error every minute it was running, also the battery was terrible. Took it back and they fixed the bumper sensors and found the battery was only operating at 70% of new capacity. After those being replaced, we have had it back for 2 months and it has been great since.

Not very impressed – I did some research and was hoping this would be the right one to purchase. For over $700 you would think it would be able to at least pick up the average 4by 2 house, but it doesn't. It gets very confused, and I tried the Samsung app, but doesn't work on the IPhone which might be something to think about. I think there are better products out there.  Show details

Rubbish – What a terrible product. Does not connect to pixel2. Continues to struggle keeping constant wifi connection. Does not map house although demo app show room mapping. You have no control over the cleaning Continues at the same room.. Cannot find home base station. Keeps bumping into stuff and getting stuck Suction low Avoid  Show details

Bertie the Bot Saves the vaccuming, saves my back – I don`t know whether I can do a review on another Samson robotic vaccum but I bought this model for my daughter and borrowed it to try before I bought mine. It was very efficient and the suction was good on both carpet and lino. It sometimes gets confused for no apparent reason and misses areas of the house. It takes two charges to clean a small… Read more

house and takes about two and a half hours to charge. It very easy to empty the dustbin and to clean it. I bought the more expensive and stronger suction model which is supposed to clean for longer but don`t find that this is the case. I don`t know whether it was worth the extra money but as I have a larger house thought that it would clean longer than the cheaper model. Generally speaking they both do a pretty good clean.

I wish I'd bought one of these months ago – I am seriously impressed with this cleaner. Months of illness have left me unable to vacuum the house, so I finally bit the bullet and bought this. And it tackled the months of dust and hair (from a cat and two long-haired humans) with ease. The amount of dust in it's dust cannister at the end of each run was impressive. The battery life and size… Read more

of the dust cannister means that I can only run it through one room at a time before emptying and recharging, but that's really no drama considering the good job it's doing and the amount of work it's saving me. We have two large and two medium sized rooms, all with carpet. It's of moderate weight, easy enough to pick up and move to the room I want cleaned, but also quite easy to maneuver using the manual controls on the remote. Once in the room I want cleaned, I just set it to auto and let it go (best results if you move chairs, small tables etc and any loose items on the floor (like shoes) into another room first and then close the door(s) to enclose the space being cleaned). It is quieter than a regular vacuum cleaner, and it's quite possible to watch TV while it's running in the same room.
