Poor Design Will Not Last

i purchased this vacuum direct from samsumg on a special thanksgiving sale. normal price was $599 and i was able to buy it for $399.
after about 15 months it makes a horrible noise. it only runs 1 hour per day. i would have expected itnto last a lot longer than 15 months considering the money i paid for it.
see my attaches 10 second video and see for yourself whthwr or not you should buy this vacuum.

i bought this in september. it clogs really easy with dust and hair. after a couple of months it started constantly bumping into things. then it randomly would go backwards. buying it from there it did not have the model or serial number so it was being denied. still not resolved but i did ask if they repaired it would the be taking care of the scratches. they said the sensors may be off but that cosmetic damage was not covered. i would not recommend.

we have 2 australian shepherds, so we have a lot of fur around. this bot makes the claim to be good with pet hair (even though not the specific pet model). it does an ok job at that, but the collecting bin is way too small, fur gets wrapped around the beater bar, and the bars don't last. additionally, the bar is never available for order online (thru samsung or elsewhere). the bar catches fur next to the bearing, which builds up and burns the plastic next to the bearing, ruining the bar. no matter how well you clean it, this happens, and due to design it's impossible to get all of the fur off this particular part of the brush. for this amount of money, the part that allows the vacuum to do its job, shouldn't fail this consistently.

i bought 2 powerbots one for upstairs and one for down. this is ideal for cleaning homes less than 1400sqft. i've sent one for repairs in a few days over the warranty and now the other one needs a new brush. the samsung representative was able to help locate the brush. the vacuums are supposed to return to the base to continue cleaning but seldomly make it to the base before the battery dies. i have about 4 bedrooms, a loft, and 3 bathrooms upstairs and it isn't smart enough to find the base station when the battery is low. i wanted to love this vacuum. the concept and technology seem logical but the engineering behind the vacuum is not fully fleshed out. i can not recommend anyone buy these. if you do, get an extended warranty and a second base station.

this vacuum is awesome! we schedule it to run every night and it leaves the floor spotless. it reaches all the creases and crevices around the house perfectly fine. i couldn't be happier with such a great thing. finally no need to haul my dyson down the stairs once a week, i just let this do the vacuuming daily and its never been cleaner!

POWERbot, good reviews, disappointing performance

we purchased this vacuum on september 20th, 2020 based on online reviews.
good
it does have a lot of vacuum power.
it is connected through the wi-fi in our home.
bad
from the beginning the battery life was less than what samsung advertised. four months later the battery dies after 20 or 25 minutes. very often it cannot make it back to it's base.
when the battery dies and you restart the vacuuming it will not start where it left off.
you cannot set up zones using the smart app.
it bangs into the furniture with such force it will move the dining room chairs around.
i regret purchasing this vacuum,

i wish this would have worked. i am very disappointed for the amount of money spent. the brush roll and brush roll cover constantly falls off and i then have to locate the pieces. it gets stuck under furniture and never goes back to its base to recharge. i was going to submit a repair, only to find out my warranty is only 6 months? for the price paid this is a huge disappointment. sorry samsung i really wanted to like this product.

i love samsung products and thought i would love this too...quite the opposite! i kept it thinking i would grow to like it,, instead it just frustrated me and now i have had it too long to return. it does not have good suction at all! i have hard floors with a few low pile area rugs, the vacuum struggled on rugs. on the floors it does ok but misses large areas of flooring and has to recharge at least 1 or 2x before finishing. i had a neato before this and that must have spoiled me because although it is a bit noisier it is a beast compared to this kitten of a vacuum. sorry samsung but i am very disappointed in this vacuum.

Gets stuck for no reason

i've been using neato robotic vacuums for about 5 years. i know the limitations of robotic vacuums and what to expect. i was impressed at first. it's much quieter and doesn't bump into things. it has great suction and a cyclone. but it quickly disappoints as its navigation algorithm is complete garbage. this thing got stuck in my hallway for absolutely no reason the first time i used it. every once in a while the neato does something stupid, but nothing this bad. it had 2 doorways to exit the hallway that it absolutely refused to try to go through. it tried to go down the stairs about 50 times. it spent at least 40 minutes in this one 4x8 area until it died. i'll give it one more try, but if its gets stuck again i'm returning it.

first, unless you have a brightly lit room, expect to constantly have the thing just randomly shutdown in the middle of the room saying it lost it's way. i bought this to supplement my vacuuming while i'm not home, not to stand and babysit it and turn a light on for it..
secondly, the wifi, it never stays connected for more than a few minutes at a time, this is the only wifi device in the house that has connection issues. i have reset the robot countless times, never fixes it for more than a day.
thirdly, i like how samsung put the cheapest, quickest to wear down "brush" bar on the unit, added to the fact the vacuum constantly runs over the charger base so the rubber brush just gets destroyed by the metal pins that stick out from the charger. and no way to buy replacements??

thank g-d that i bought this from amazon! we had a very frustrating week with this device. it was more trouble than it was worth plus samsung cut the price $200 from what we paid amazon.
problems: never found its charging dock; constantly trapped itself near any furniture; scratched the paint off the baseboards; scratched our furniture; too noisy to use while home; flimsy foam dust filter quickly clogs and extra filters are not available for purchase.

this was a great robot vacuum for the first 6 months. it never connected well to wifi but other than that for 6 months it worked great with excellent cleaning and navigation. after this time it started malfunctioning and has not been functional despite sending it back to samsung to be "fixed". the fix lasted a week and it just goes out and senses something stuck in the brush roll and stops after a few minutes. it is very disappointing and i think must have to do with the motor or belt. not sure what robot vacuum i will go to next but it does not seem like samsung has corrected this issue so i will be changing brands.

i was so expexting this to replace my irobot but could not get to connect. tried customer service many times no help. saw where others had problms. all said goes daily and cannot get to do only certain days. all said only does part of the house whre i robot does all and it barely collects anyathing. the irobot so much more superior despite what consumer reports said. also able to go under furniture and over rugs.. this thing senses and goes around.. doesnt really vacuume along the sides like the irobot. over all very very disappointing. not sure if will add another irobot or try a shark but dont waste your money on a samsung. customer service and product is inferior.

Very unreliable. Works when it works, but breaks.

this vacuum would be great if it didn't break so frequently. it vacuums well and integrates with my smartthings home hub which i use to automate my home. however, it has broken and has been required to be sent in for repair twice in 18 months. it is now out of the 12 month warranty and they are wanting to charge $160 plus shipping to fix it. rediculous. the first time it broke, a motorized wheel stopped turning. this time, the suction stopped turning on. this indicates overall poor reliability of components. i will not be paying to repair this unit and will buy a competitor even if it does not integrate as nicely with my home automation system. i wanted this to be better. very dissapointed.

A Great Robotic Vacuum
ryancox1
8/16/2019
This is the second PowerBot I've owned. The first, a much older model, was wildly disappointing. This one, however, has resolved almost all the issues I experienced with the first: much better at navigating obstacles, deeper cleaning, quieter, and can actually find its way back to the charging base when all the lights aren't on. This one even connects to your wifi and integrates with SmartThings and Google Home/Alexa.
Pros:
- Cleans consistently well
- Scheduling functionality
- Integrates with Alexa/Google Home
- Comes with a remote for manual control/spot cleaning.
Cons:
- A bit pricey
- Too loud to run at night when you live in a small ranch-styled home
All in all, I'm impressed. The price is a bit on the expensive side still, but for those who value simplicity and hate vacuuming it's likely worth it.

We just got our POWERbot set-up and started to use it. First, it was easy to set-up-this is our first robotic vacuum. Second, we have a lot of dogs and two toddlers, so our only challenge-as with any robotic vacuum is to make sure we've cleaned up any messes before we start it. We're impressed with the suction power of the POWERbot. It readily picks up the dirt and hair. It is excellent to keep the house clean and moves very easily between hardwood and carpets. We love it!

We recently bought our Samsung Powerbot R7065. After being off the robot vacuum lure for long, bought post quick checks with family and friends owning similar or competitive brands. Settled for the R7065 as it came highly recommended for the features it packed.
The packaging was neat and well designed to avoid any transit damage to the unit. Unpacking was easy and figuring out the base/dock and Powerbot pretty simple. The quick install guide came with right level of detail to get the unit charged and started. One has to start the emergency switch at the bottom, place the unit on the dock and then press the >| button for 3 sec to get powered up. Not a simple place and power up.
The powerboat design and looks quite unlike others in the market. With its rectangular front and a camera on top to scan the contours of the home, provides its unique ability to clean edges and corners unlike most offerings in the market. Its ability to assess and approach potential obstacles and objects with deliberate and measured moves is a big plus.
The smart things app pairing is simple and helps you control most of the functions and with the Bixby voice command integration, makes life super simple. The one is like is the manual mode. You can guide the powerboat go into corners and nooks that would otherwise be missed due to multiple obstacles and indeterminate contours. The edge cleaning – is a very good feature once the powerbot has figures out the flat bottom surface.
The unit comes with four preset modes – auto, manual, repeat and spot clean. The remote and/or smart things app comes in handy to use the manual and spot clean modes. Besides these one can choose the suction levels like quiet, normal and turbo, though, all three modes do make the vacuum like levels of noise.
The auto mode provides good cleaning. The unit charts its own recharging needs and comes back to the dock. And then resumes from the last point. Though other reviewers say that it makes clean straight lines, I did find the unit erratic at times, but overall ensures the coverage all through the room. Hope it learns and corrects this. The two areas I would like to see improvements – the magnetic tape for no go areas is way too short and the receptacle is a wee bit too small.
Overall a great buy for the our household

Newest Addition To Our Family

I was first hesitant to use a robotic vacuum cleaner, but after using the Samsung POWERbot R7065, I am hooked! This powerful machine does such a great job on our floors both carpet and hardwood. We have a puppy and a busy toddler running around at all times and this has saved us so much time from traditional vacuuming.
Using our regular upright vacuum, it would leave thicker dirt and debris from outside behind. This Samsung got every single piece of dirt and debris. The suction is so great and strong on this. We didn't have any issues of the machine docking either.
I was also impressed with how quiet this vacuum is. We had it running downstairs while being on the main level and couldn't even hear it. This will be great when we have company over and can still clean at the same time! Or even when my daughter is sleeping, we can still have it running.
Overall, I cannot say anything but POSITIVE and amazing things about this vacuum.

THIS THING SUCKS
this vac sucks
5/18/2019
This robot vacuum is a total piece of garbage. You are lucky to get is to vacuum more than twice without having to reset it and wasting time resetting internet connections.
The thing clogs easily, I have no pets or kids making messes so I can only imagine if I did with this thing.
The vacuuming it actually does when it works is sub-par, I still need to use my good ole Hoover upright 3-4 times a week (I vacuum every day) because it does such a poor job cleaning.
SAVE YOUR MONEY !!
