Love it my little robot

published

Love it! I took a bit of a gamble buying it because the reviews were not so good, but I'm glad I did! This robot does a great job with any kind of floor, including carpet (which I was resigned to have to keep doing by hand). Battery life lasts longer than predicted too, although this may change.
The only problem is that it does not find the docking station in time when the battery is running low. But, frankly, for the difference in price with other better brands, I don't mind taking it myself to recharge.

Insufficient technology

published

This machine didn't perform, we kept it for a month. No memory, would stay in one area. Didn't go from room to room. Sensors didn't detect objects would just bang into furniture. Kept getting stuck between or ride up on furniture ie bar stool base, then would just repeatedly go backwards and forward until it was moved. Would often have to reset as it would continuously go around in circles in the middle of the room. We elected to spend more and went for an LG model and found the technology was very more superior.

Handy little sweeper

published

This robotic vacuum did an excellent job on my tiled floors throughout the lower floor of my house. It could sweep up bits and pieces and gave fairly good coverage. The dust collector bin is of adequate size but should be emptied frequently. I didn't find it suitable on carpet, a proper vacuum cleaner does a much better job as it has more powerful suction. The return to base function was a good bonus and the barrier sensors used to keep it within a set space worked well.

Good to start off with but then product fail!

published

I was impressed to start off with but then things turned sour! Parts starting to wear out quickly then the "battery" started to play up. The vacuum stopped working and Aldis customer service said that the product (battery) is not covered under the 3 year warranty and I have to buy a new battery $60 plus postage and handling every year when the battery stops working! So in the long run don't purchase this cheap product because you'll be up for a new battery in a year when warranty doesn't cover it! Bad customer service and advertising.

Not so successful

published

Has broken down now hoping to get fixed. Brushes don't work and the plastics wear out coursing lots of cleaning machine issues. It has been unable to redock most of time so I have to look for it to recharge. hoping to send for repair and get replacement think I have a lemon would have returned but had not been able to find receipt
Suction has been good and love that it cleans my house but lots of maintenance and looking for it in the house to recharge makes me not love it

My little helper

published

I've had my Stirling for a little over 2 years, it's a fantastic machine.
I run it a couple of times a week and it does a great job picking up crumbs etc. It doesn't replace a vacuum, but I find I need to do a thorough vacuum much less often.
I find it covers the floor space really well, battery life is good too.
I've replaced the brushes and filters a couple of times, getting the spare parts has been pretty easy.
The floors always look great after it's had a run, it's a great helper!

Don't know how I ever did without t his

published

This little beastie is great it won't replace a Heavy Duty Vac but it does come close .
It's suction is wonderful I can set and forget . We have a very large lounge/ hall area with carpet runners and timber flooring and it never fails to amaze me how much it picks up Or where it all comes from.
It is also great on the tiled kitchen floor and the timber dining room as well.

Well done it's a great product

We love it

published

Our Stirling Robot Vacuum cleaner is not only cute but very efficient, she has made life easier and gets into areas such as under beds. Recently she stopped working my husband rang the service number and they said a new battery out within days. Unfortunately that didn't fix the problem so we had to send her to be repaired. She was posted on the Friday afternoon and a courier dropped her back on the Thursday. Amazing service!
She is now running around cleaning perfectly.

The heading states that Stirling have discontinued the robot vacuum cleaners, hope that isn't true.

Cant find its way home

published

Great little vac, Quiet and efficient on all low surfaces, gets bogged down on the thicker rugs.
Fascinating to watch it maneuver around the furniture
Mine has trouble finding its way home to the charge dock, seems to leave its run late and stops half way back to the charger.
Any suggestions?

Good For Flat Surfaces

published

awesome!!

published

Propper vacuuming needed only once a fortnite. Love it! I have laminated floors, small pieces of carpet and tiles and it does an awesome job. I have 3 small kids and it picks up all the little crumbs effortlesly. Great product for busy mums. Plus its an entertainmebnt for my kids. They run away from it. Haha

It's proving to be a godsend

published

It's much quieter than my VAX cleaner and does an efficient day-to-day job in our busy 4-bedroom house - all tiles except carpet in the loungeroom. It did get stuck under a recliner chair but a draught-excluder keeps it out now. The space isolator works like a charm. While it cleans I can get on and do other stuff and it's light and easy to move to different sections of the house.

Better than expected

published

Bought this after a recommendation from a friend. Much better than expected for the price ($199). Sure it gets stuck on shoes/cords and anything else you leave on the floor, but I think that $800 robo-vacs do too. Quietier than expected and thorough enough on wooden floors for a quick clean. Only twice has it not found its way back to charge and ability to time schedule cleans is great. Dust bucket is a bit small but does show that it picks up quite a lot.
Not sure how it goes on carpet but happy with performance on wooden floors. Just don't expect to never have to manually clean the floor again. But we've gone from sweeping 3 times a quick touch up once a week to, happy with that.

Perfect for non heavy duty jobs

published

It is an excellent product for non heavy duties. ie it is perfect for sweeping and collecting hair and dust from floors. but it is not as powerful vacuum as I thought. I love its performance for its price. as I bought it for $199. Its good compared to other brands.

Sterling Sweeper

published

The family had 3 cleaners, they are all had it from a seized wheel. The problems is the motor not the gears. To pull apart take the 3 covers off the outside off the wheel and it will all come apart. It worked well until its wheel would not turn. They have been discontinued.
