Why buy this? I've got a wife who does it ......I'm quickly hiding away before the onslaught ....... :confused:

Completely different item I think...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/vileda-li-ion-rechargeable-virobi-robotic-duster-19-99-lidl-2304253

really struggles on carpets and gets stuck on the edge of rugs but for pure wooden, laminate or solid floors it's alright :smiley:

Ours is working well got it so we can just wack it on and go to work. Our living room is a combination of floorboards carpet and rug only issue was when it cleaned over a damaged bit of carpet where a loose strand got caught up in the brush

Stupidly pointless. In the time it takes for the vaccum to do it's job (and it won't be great unless you live on a single carpet) you could have cleaned it with an upright vaccum and empty the rubbish.

It's good for people who have no furniture and live in a single room or something while they're studying/cooking?

Got mine today. I was very pleased with it on its test run

Amesbury had some

Did they turn up instore today ?

I was looking up battery replacements for this device
High Performance Battery compatible Vileda Robot €59.10 (battery-robot-spare.co.uk)
Vileda 147274 Cleaning Robot Battery £93.65+ P&P (ebay)
WOW

Hell yeah.

​Well my horsey at Braun Oral has just had my 11 month old Oral-B Pro 4000 CrossAction tooth brush which had stopped charging repaired for free. And they paid my postage. And for those with faulty Braun proddies 0800 731 1792.

for wooden floors/under beds etc its great, I have the roomba irobot but used it twice as I find it doesn't get into corners enough so replaced it with a dyson, great price as mine was over 200

I bought this in a black Friday deal for £90 off amazon instead of £120 and I'm really happy with it.
It struggles a little bit getting over the edge of a rug but I have carpet and laminate and I think it works well on both.

you contacted the wrong horse
you should be talking to lidl customer services as that who you bought it from

there is no mention of how old it was and no receipt/pop it seems either and a drills removable battery is perhaps disappointingly considered a consumable whereas i expect the hoovers one is part of the item itself...

Had an item replaced by them when it went faulty - send from Germany with no need to return the faulty item. May be different with this as its not their own product

What a price jump from last year! Was £19.99 2015
Now £64.99 2016
This Deal is Ice Cold Fact! Sod Lidl

That's not fair...She charges me £120 an hour.
:smiley:

Example one is a good fit for your your scenario. consumer examples

Ah you bought a drill. Would the store not give you a refund? The email seems to suggest you don't have the original receipt but from what I understand, a bank or credit card statement should be enough and even then if the battery failed within 6 months, you don't need any form of receipt. They should at least offer a repair or replacement. However, batteries are a grey area for many warranties since they're considered as consumables and degrade with time and use.

On the contrary, a little honesty at making a mistake inspires confidence.

this is an amazing gadget. have some heat

Yep, I did. Here's the word direct from the horses' mouth -

As a single man, I'd be interested in a 50 quid job.
My place or hers? :confused:

Def photocopy all receipts for items with long warranties because thermal till receipts never last very long, even if they are stored ina dark environment a year or so later they can fade to nothing leaving you up the creek. Or instead of a photocopy take a photo and keep it on your smartphone or a scan and keep safe and print if you need it.

With lidl, store away the receipt, that is essential in providing the number sequence that validates it as a purchase upon their initial check, photo copy it & stash it in your documents case. ..no hassle claims!

They are rubbish and yes I was an idiot that bought one. Don't believe me? I don't care so go and try it for yourself.

2 year manufacturer's warranty - according to the Lidl site

did you reply to the wrong guy?

There is a new Consumer Rights act 2015, with enhanced consumer protection.
If it failed within the first 6 months, you are entitled to a full refund. Even several years after purchase, you are entitled to a partial refund.
If the item is unfit for purpose, you're entitled to reject it for a full refund within the first 30 days.
If the product is good fine.
However it it were shoddy and unreliable, people should seek refunds, so that retailers do not make money from selling such trash.

There is a huge difference between this one and a Roomba or a Neato. I bought a neato for my mother and it is amazing, you can retire your vacuum. (OK you may still need it occasionally) if you just want to vacuum an conference room with all the chairs put up on a the table this will do the job. Not a great job but it will do. If you want to vacuum your living room with furniture, cables or with anything that creates an obstacle course this will fail miserable. Heck, even the 300 quid neato gets itself into trouble sometimes but 8 out of 10 cases it will free itself without your assistance. Read a few reviews on robot vacuums, there are cheaper Roombas around £200 that do a half decent job, keep your house tidy until it's really time for you to vacuum once a month. Look at the Roomba 620 or the neato XV. They do act like vacuums. This one would probably just about entertain your cats.

as lidl neither repair items nor stock items indefinitely its more likely to take the form of a refund.. partial or otherwise

That's her Valentine's day gift sorted....thanks OP ☺

this looks a good deal. would be grateful if anyone owns one! i had a roomba in 2002 and it was great til battery died. my ex wife got a 50 quid job and it is next to useless. this i have seen 100 to 150? reviews on amazon look quite good.

can you buy lidl deals online or instore only?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vileda-137173-Cleaning-Robot/dp/B005U1WMY6

Careful, if the battery fails, Lidl won't replace it under warranty, potentially leaving you with a £65 brick within months of purchase. They're a good company to buy food from, but not electronics.

Vacuum instigates food chain confusion >

no charging dock station. :disappointed:

DJ Roomba!

Great on my wooden floors, but it eats charging cables if they trail on the floor. It also eats my net curtain. It copes well over my wooden thresholds and up over a rug.

really struggles on carpets and gets stuck on the edge of rugs but for pure wooden, laminate or solid floors it's alright :smiley:
