Not very easy to clean

published

I bought this product based on the review, but was not satisfied with it. The main obstacle is how to clean it. Not very user friendly and difficult to open for cleaning. Battery went flat after just few uses. Currently I don't use it and it is sitting in my cardboard.



Purchased in May 2021 at ALDI for $300.00.

It does its job

published

It is good cleaner not excellent. lots of options. keeps bumping into things and sometimes run over them. Not a replacement to you regular vacuum but have to do the cleaning less often. Good if you have pets at home that shed hair. It is fairly quiet and won't notice it after a while.

Not expensive and good value for the money.

published

Tiles, short weave carpet and wooden floors are no problem. Tackles longer carpet if needed. Picks up animal and human hair plus any food or nuts etc in its way. I have had mine for over four years and it's used daily. Parts easily accessible if required. Replaced battery once. Replaced main sweeper and rubber paddle and side sweeper motor once. Very happy with my Sterling..

Not the best robot vacuum.

published

I got mine as a second cleaner, as my Roomba is getting a bit long in the tooth.
The Roomba is the best ever, the Stirling grabs anything, such as rugs etc and the brushes snap off and it is very loud. My recommendation is to save your money and put it towards a Roomba.
(I only have a tiled floor and a couple of rugs, so the Stirling may work better on carpet).

Love this product, gets the dog hair, great on carpet, under the beds etc

published

We have tiles an carpet, very happy with price an performance, makes my life so much easier, very happy to recommend to anyone. Our dog sheds constantly, which was really getting me down, with the robot vacuum, I just turn it on and get on with living. It is easy to empty and clean.

Waste of money

published

Had to throw it away 8 months after purchase. It’s a waste of money. Battery stopped working just a few months after purchasing. When charging it shows battery full. But when using, battery only lasts for 20 seconds. I would not recommend this product. Would rather get something more costly but working.

Very good vacuum

published

This is a very good robot vacuum. It vacuums really well and it doesn’t cost as much as the more expensive robot vacuums. There are a few disadvantages like it cannot do carpet as well and it is not very quiet. However, I do not regret my buy as it is very practical. You put it on and forget about it. It takes its time, but it does a good job.

It is cheap and efficient

published

This robot vacuum was cheap to buy and quiet efficient. I have carpets in the living room and with kids running around they are never clean. This robot is very handy for me meaning I can do less vacuuming and have my place as clean and I want it to be. It is quite good in picking up things from general traffic areas, then I need the use my regular vac to get into all the corners once a week.

Rechargeable battery didn't last

published

Got this approximately two years back and it's just OK. It was alright (not great) when it was new but as time has moved forward its just running shorter and shorter time periods. I think it also need better logic onboard because it would often get confused by our dining room chairs and spend ages there just going around and again.. It was heap but based on my experience I doubt I would by this again from Aldi

Broken in 2 months

published

Was a pretty impressive vacuum for the price, charged fast, went for around 2hrs before batteries ran out.
But like most Aldi electronic products it didn't last. It was only used on floorboards, no carpet and even tho it was cared for it broke within only a couple of months.

Not a great purchase

published

Robot kept going under furniture and turning off. Found it to be a bit noisy and lost front wheel in first 3 months. Battery went flat after 6 months and had to be replaced. Found remote hard to use and charging dock stop working after 6 months. Had to plug straight into robot. Wouldnt recommend.

Wonderful if you have the right floor

published

We have a small house, polished wooden floors with no gaps. This machine is my favourite household appliance. It’s not particularly strong, and I don’t have animals, but it works perfectly for my needs. We clear the floor, close off all other rooms to the room chosen for cleaning and press go every 2-3 days. We also empty the cleaner and filter after each use and check the wheels for blockages. We also make sure there is no water spills anywhere in the floor. It comes with spare filter and tools to help clean it.

Battery do not last

published

Very happy with the performance and the money i paid for it (cheap compared to branded robo vac). Eleven months of use and the battery died. Replacing it from Aldi was easy and it had i believe more than a year warranty but I wanted a robo vacuum that has a battery that will last longer.

Good little unit...for the price

published

I have already got a Roomba device and I saw this as a low cost alternative to complement the Roomba to get the job done a bit quicker. It does what it's advertised to do, and as you'd expect with a lower cost model, it misses a few bits here and there and doesnt have the active mapping etc of a more expensive model. Definitely happy with the purchase and would recommend as an entry level auto vac.

Love it

published

I got one of these for christmas.
We have a tiled house I just do a tidy make sure nothing is out that can get stuck in it and let it go.
Great if you break a glass and want to make sure you have all the fine bits picked up.
Also great with pets hair.
Self recharge and with a big family is such a sanity savor.

Impressed y our little friends.

published

it was so good we got a second before they sold out . 2 cats, 2 kids and they perform really well in this large house. Yes to needing to clean and maintain brushes and bearings, emptying rubbish tray and occasionally taking back to charger due to running flat out of site of the base charger but this is not year 2030. we only have hard floors but they polish up. vacs are called Ro-bert and Ro-bob and they worked so hard in the first 2 weeks playing catch-up under beds, lounges, tables running twice per day. Now in control the waste only needs cleaning every second clean period. Great value, ro-bust, and recommended.

Great little helper

published

Had no problems with the vac so far. Was a bit uncertain at first because of the Aldi brand. It works well and easy to empty the rubbish into the bin. We have carpets everywhere and it works well. This vacuum is more powerful than I originally thought. I would recommend this product to anyone.
