Got one of these last time they were this price. Taught it to read and now it's like a son to me

Hot for using "thingy" alone! :stuck_out_tongue:

Is that a single malt or a blend ?
Could be a Scottish Alsatian you have ??

Great price, thanks OP.

Does it return to base on its own for charge when it's done?

I'm guessing this is no good for dog hairs? I've got a German Shepherd that malts like crazy!

How does it handle stairs?

I bought this last time they had it on offer. Ended up returning it as the battery went faulty (thankfully within the 1st year)

I would advise you to keep hold of the receipt of you get one just in case.

This is really only efficient for hard floors. Reviews are saying it's not so good for carpet.

Its climbing ability is just 1cm so it might get stuck on a rug.

Not a bad deal if you want it to just vacuum hard floors though.

I for one welcome our new robotic overlords.

does it fetch sticks?

is there anyway to buy this online. Damn being abroad when this offer is on.

Thanks

any good for robot wars ?

Does the light have to be on for it to work or can it operate in the dark hahahaha

From Amazon:

Question: Does it return to docking station
Answer: No docking station,have to plug it into a socket
By Carole Watson on 28 December 2016

Shame... If it had a docking station I'd snap it up...

I bought the red one from Amazon for £80 just after Christmas and it's spot on for the laminated floors down stairs. I just switch it on when I'm off out . I had bought a cheaper one from Maplin and only had it a couple of days as it broke it also kept getting stuck on rugs and things . This one is far superior it has never got stuck once and if it does get stopped it just reverses .

Btw it will work on carpet but it is not powerful enough to replace your dyson say .

Is this at Lidl now?

This is round all my rooms have corners ...........ok for a lighthouse though

The machines have taken over

I have a similar haier one that has the mop function too (around £100 or so).
Really good on the kitchen floor / hard floors, crap on new thick carpet, not quite as rubbish on old work carpet.

Won't suck up heavy debris, by heavy I mean anything the weight of a tictac, but does a decent job of dusting.

£66 a decent price, but the best function of the haier is the RTH and being able to set timers etc.

if it doesn't recharge itself, what's the point

heat for price, but now not a fan of these after owning 2 different models. I have paid over £100 for both models I have owned.

My wife or daughters head hair caused the 2 spinning brushes underneath to tangle up, so you have to keep on top of it by unscrewing the brushes and removing the hair.

the capacity isn't great either, they only have a small tray.

You can always have some hope :smiley:

Silly question lol but will it go into 5 different rooms or just stay in 1 room?

Will all Lidl stores have these? It's a bit out of my way to get to one.

Any chance that Amazon price matches?

If you've got a dog I'd recommend a Neato. Not cheap, but we've got a Labrador who seems to shed his body weight in hair daily and it eats it up.

Got one of these last time they were this price. Taught it to read and now it's like a son to me

Can anyone explain what the advantages of this are over the Vileda Supermop?

ELEVATE!

Me too... hate his blond wig and orange skin though...

Will it lift up the sofa and hoover under it?

Depends if you shut the doors . . .

How does this thing handle socks and knickers left on the floor? Does it go around them or attempt to hoover them up?

Fabulous public excuse not to buy, I see plenty of those on here and never get bored of them.

For some reason the image of this thing trailing a half-mangled thong around the house is now stuck in my head and amuses me greatly.

You could offer a bribe.....

So if I switch it on before I go to work then an hour and 20 mins later the battery goes flat. When I get in I then have to wait 5 hours while it charges up again so I can use it for another 80 mins. Seems a bit of a gimmick to me. Would be much better if it recharged itself itself during the day in a docking station e.g did 15 mins of cleaning and then recharged itself for an hour or so before recommencing cleaning et al. Still I guess that would be more expensive.

Me: Dr Dr, my vacuum has no hose!
Dr: How does it pick up things?
Me: Terribly!

(I'll get my coat & brush....)

Absolutely wonderful.

I got one last year and a couple of months ago returned it as the battery failed. They are good and somewhat powerful. However there are three major issues.
I 1) we have a small carpet and the thing gets stuck in the climbing up or down half the time. So it's really annoying to keep having to nudge it. (it would get stuck trying to get up or down where wheels do not have enough traction thus it just seems stays on vacuum in its exact location and wearing out the edge of the carpet)
2) it doesn't follow the edges so it tends to randomly bounce things leaving the parameter of the room dirty and full of fluff and breadcrumbs as it whisks them away from with its uni whiskers.
3) cleaning the mechanism requires removing a screw whereas the red version has a removable bracket

Lidl were quite cool I returned it to the store for a refund 7 months after purchase as the battery degraded suddenly to about 3 minutes.

Surely the most unnecessary device ever invented. Hoovering the main part of the carpet takes 5 minutes in a regular sized house, its getting into the corners, doing the stairs, behind and under furniture etc. that takes all the time, and this won't do any of that.

How does this deal with an annoying cat that likes to leave me presents on the rug for when I get home from work...?

Liked the look of it initially but then realised that this robotic hoover will literally terrify my dog who will develop fear-fueled diarrhoea and the robot will silently smear it all round my wooden floors every day (except for the corners as it can't reach those)... Fab!!!

You simply need the pets section of gumtree.
Some cat lady with take it off your hands (and rug)

"Why does the Hoover suck, Denzil?”

“Because it has no teeth, Gwynedd.”

If you have pets read before purchase http://cheezburger.com/897029/dogs-roomba-please-consider-this-frightening-tale-of-pooptastrophe-before-getting-a-roomba-with-pets

Depends, if they're especially sexy they have been known to try them on. But only when no-one is looking....

It can't open doors.... you need the TS-300 model for that

Anyone in Northern Ireland- this comes into stores tomorrow, Thursday. I've been waiting for this to come out :smiley:

My wife and daughter both have long hair and the same thing happens to our normal upright push along vacuum cleaners.

Yeah, it is steep - we got ours at nearly half price and it was still a lot! But it really does work brilliantly - the Dyson is gathering dust as it's not been used since we bought it. Plus you can get a cat as well and let it ride around on top :smiley:

My 7 year old says these are so good you can sit on them as they are so strong as they are made of solid gold ingots and just painted black! Hmmmm LOL

I don't understand how does it read? Also does it sound robotic like hawkings or is it more like cortana?

My wifey sheds worse than the dog so i don't think it will be any good for me.

Now if they brought out a small version of these for the car that would be a good invention. For the house I am not so sure. How does it cope with stairs or do they have a version with legs. This maybe a good price but when comet was closing they were selling these off for 30 quid. Obviously made for the lazy man or wo man.

..And without all the backchat :laughing:

Not a bad price but having had 2 (different brands) in the past, one with a docking unit and the other without, I preferred the one with the docking option otherwise it would just stop in some random places after it had cleaned and I had to "hunt the robot cleaner" party!! For the price this is a good find as it comes with a 2 year warranty. You can pay £700 for a robo vac!! They even wash your carpets these days :wink: .
Not sure if the LiDl one has a programmable schedule for certain days and times to clean?
I still use the docking unit one now (3 years on) and no issues. Worth every penny IMO.

I would love to have one that can go up and down the stairs (and I don't mean bouncing down when the sensors don't stop it!). I have heard that they are designing one that can do just that but would be a bit scary to watch! reminds me of those creepy horror movies with the girls running up and down the stairs with their heads back to front.

What if Carole Watson doesn't have a socket by her ?
Does she have to move nearer the socket ?
Luckily I know someone called Carole Watson, so if I can get her to buy a socket .. does that count ?

Are theze nationwide these deals??? Or do they only get them in some stores?

None

Bought 1 from Dagenham Heathway store this morning. Only 1 left, was lucky there was some still in stock first thing this morning.

Bought one and it's doing a good job on short pile carpet, going under furniture, reversing itself if gets stuck. Not picking up larger objects or anything tricky like thread stuck to the carpet. But the kids Lego is safe! Seems to be getting into corners well. Really good on hard floors. Cat loves it!

Isn't that what it's supposed to do?

I actually lol'd at that :smiley:

It's now £70.03 at Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00PLYWU2G/ref=mp_s_a_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1488785224&sr=8-21&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Vileda&dpPl=1&dpID=41Tzibr-FIL&ref=plSrch

The wife says this thing is useless. been less than 28 days since I purchased. I believe LIDL have a no quibble refund policy if not completely satisfied, so thinking of returning it, anyone confirm?

£69.99 back in my pocket, Lidl no even let me off with 1p!

Scrap returned to store successfully .. "doesn't do what it says on the tin" .. end of.
