I had a test drive of this cleaner because my friend lent it to me for a couple of weeks. After the test drive we (especially my wife) purchased it immediately. Its main purpose is to save my and my wife's time and this robotic cleaner does it well. It takes about 40 to 60 minutes to clean a ~120m2 house. I can do it for let's say 20-30 minutes. With this Roboking I don't have to spend this time.

Pros:
1. Navigational capabilities are good. It does not miss any areas unless they are inaccessible for the cleaner. However, sometimes its navig...Read more

This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am an Aged Care worker who works mostly afternoons and N/D, I am also studying Dip. of Nursing. This little vac is a godsend. While I'm studying "Edgar" as when we have named him, just runs around and then when he is tired, he heads home and charges himself up. I can also set him off to vacuum while I'm sleeping after doing a night shift.
This appliance saves me from having to vacuum every day (which I used to have to do) as I have a Japanese Spitz who sheds hair and also 2 kids and a parr...Read more

Dear all consumers - do not trust LG Robokings - they are a safety hazard and chipped our wall and almost hit our babies by falling over landings and stairs

Please see what LG wrote to us below (email copies) when we sent in for a replacement when under 12 months old. They blamed us for not cleaning properly when the sensors actually son't work and never have.

Dear Unsuspecting Customers,

Do not buy a Roboking or similar robotic vacuum cl...Read more

We've bought it for a while, and I think it is a right time for me to review it base on my own experience.
Generally, it works very well and saves me heaps of time on cleaning timber floors with my dog's hair (10 yro Jack Russell). It also cleans on the carpet, but you have to make your carpet sits very flat, my guest bedroom has a slice of bumps up, it is quite sensitive to detect these barriers and notify you by sound" please remove the stuff on the LHS or RHS sensor".

It cleans pretty much all the corners which it goes through. After th...Read more

Have had this unit now for quite a while (purchased Dec'15) and it has been fully "trained" using the manual and setting up the area we want. You can not leave the unit alone, we have to close all doors and block archways to prevent it going outside of the "trained" area. Have had the unit sent into LG service center (at our cost to get the unit back!) and they "tested" it and it did not go outside of the "trained" area which apparently had a door way.

If we could get the unit to stay within the area trained without having to shut the door...Read more

We purchased this Roboking (top of the line) in July 2016. We were replacing it after we had an unfortunate mishap with our Roomba IRobot (operator error - not the fault of the vacuum cleaner). The retailer did not have a new model of the Roomba IRobot available on the day and we desperately wanted one (we have four dogs at home so lots of hair). In short, the retailer sold us the Roboking. Worst decision we ever made. In the three months we have owned it, it has only once found it's home station. We spend the first few minutes every nigh...Read more

I had the Robomaid previously - it packed it in after a short while and of course Robomaid had gone out of business. I thought hard about buying another brand but I find the robots so useful because it's hard for me to manually vacuum now.
The LG Roboking is fantastic. I have had it for 2 1/2 months and it is so MUCH better than the Robomaid. I bought the top model - which was more expensive but I got it on a when it was on special from RT Edwards.
It does a great job of cleaning, it actually gets right in the corners and goes easy from my wo...Read more

We have owned this unit for about a year now so it is time to write a review. Overall we have no reservations to very much recommend this unit. Our house is entirely hard surface so this may be different for a carpeted house though we have some thick rugs on our floor that it easily climbs onto and takes care of without hassle. It is quiet has a variety of programming, announces when it is done and auto returns to its docking station for recharging. For the entire time we have owned it we have had absolutely no hick ups. It is activated once a ...Read more

My biggest regret was going with the LG Roboking, I had a Roomba (irobot) for 5 years and that run pretty much without any problems and the only frustration was getting replacement consumables (Filters/Brushes) from the US.
I purchased the LG Roboking in December 2014 from The Good Guys in Bayswater, Vic.

The Good:
• Quiet
• Local support network/replacement parts.
The Average:
• Same suction as the Roomba.
• Same coverage/time as the Roomba.
The Bad: ...Read more

This has broken down 5 times in 6 months. Bought from Harvey Norman, takes weeks before it's supposed to be repaired and returned. It does not work again! When asking Harvey Norman for a refund/replacement told LG have to give the OK first! I've rung Manilla 3 times, numerous emails to both Harvey Norman and LG to no avail. LG just tells me the case has been escalated, this has happened 5 times now in 2 weeks! Now told they will give a store credit will take 24/48 hrs that was 4 days ago. When it was working was good but I will never pur...Read more

We have a small dog that is inside and 2 young children making a daily mess, so a robot vacuum makes sense. After reading the Choice review, we selected this model. Overall we're very disappointed. We have timber floors and a lowset couch sitting on a shaggy rug that the vacuum constantly finds it's way under and gets stuck literally every 5 minutes. It doesn't seem to learn, that it can't fit. I can use the "My Space" mode to have it avoid this area (as I really don't need it to clean there anyway), but there is no way to "save" a space, ...Read more
