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

I am so much happier since I have this robot. I was sceptic at first, however it exceded my expectations. We have beautiful floor boards and every morning I saw the dust on it. Stressful !!! We also have rugs, some quite thin, and no problems with the robot. It even vacuums under the beds and under the couch. If I tell you that the floorboard shirting boards are a bit raised (this being an old house renovated) and the vacuum with his whiskers cleans that tiny space, same with the furniture legs you will understand why I am so appreciative of it...Read more

I absolutely love our robot vacuum cleaner! This wonderful little guy has dramatically cut down the amount of time I spend vacuuming. We have a single story house, and the living areas are hardwood, with the exception of the kids bedrooms which are carpet. With kids and a dog, I was having to vacuum every 2 days just to clean up all the daily dirt and dust collection from the floor. But now every day at 9.00am out robot vaccum sweeps the floor for us, it even has enough clearance to clean under our bed and the coffee table, which I love! I onl...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

Bought 3 weeks ago. This Product will not work Correctly on Black or dark coloured Rugs, carpets etc.
LG Have no idea about their products. When I asked if there were any firmware updates to possibly solve this problem, they said No and that this model will not accept them. Which is Rubbish. I pointed out that there is a USB port located in the Vacuum. That will accept firmware updates. Even Roomba advice in there Manual that their iRobot will not work correctly on black surface’s. LG are Misleading, Rude, and Arrogant their Tech support make ...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

Robot vacuum's have a number of features surprising to the first time buyer. For example they do a better job than you manually vacuuming, mostly because go over every spot multiple times. Most have tiny dirt bins, meaning you have to empty them often, which becomes a chore. Most have automatic schedules, so you can come home to a clean house without touching a button. All of them understandably get stuck on toys, cords and other stuff they can't see and even the smartest seemingly suffer from dementia, trapping themselves because they can't fi...Read more

My partner purchased this unit claiming what a time saver it would be.

While this unit "eventually" cleans the floor, and suction and noise are ok, it has mind bogglingly inefficient cleaning patterns. I've seen first hand the ridiculous way this unit & I'm sure others go about their work.

This will cause a significantly shorter life span for the product, causing undue wear as it goes over the same areas while missing others completely and really needs to be sorted.

Also I have come home on multiple occasions to find it stuck somewhere with a dead battery and a job half done

Lol, I just had to rescue it again.

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

We have both bamboo and carpet flooring. I bought my Roboking VR6270LVM from South Korea via ebay in 2013. It was one of the best help around the house I could get. It is perfect for the bamboo floor but one must ensure the floor is free of tangling wires. I had a phone charger being pulled along when I was careless once. For the carpet floor, the dust collection bin has to be emptied after each room as the bin is quite small and we had new wool carpet so it was not that ideal but still good. Now, more than two years down the track, I start to ...Read more
