Samsung NaviBot SR8855

Meet Samsung's new robotic vacuum cleaner!

Convenient, feels solid, lots of features

Expensive, ineffective at times

The Samsung NaviBot is an expensive but awesome gadget for your home. You could buy a very good vacuum cleaner for less money and get a more thorough clean, but that would require vacuuming the manual, old-fashioned way. If you have a grand to throw...

Samsung Navibot SR8855

This robot vacuum cleaner maps out your living room to clean it in the most efficient manner.

The Samsung navibot SR8855 robot vacuum cleaner employs some clever tech and is a great way to get the bulk of your vacuuming done without lifting a finger. However, you'll still need a second vacuum cleaner to get in all the nooks and crannies and it...

Samsung NaviBot review

The charming Samsung NaviBot will warm your cockles, but it won't clean your abode so thoroughly that you'll want to fly-tip your standard vacuum cleaner. That's hard to swallow given how much it costs

Can be scheduled to clean while you're out ; Returns to the charging station automatically ; Won't fall down the stairs ; Does a good job on hard surfaces

Bulky charging dock ; Can't reach into nooks and crannies ; Cleaning carpets isn't its forte ; Maintenance can be time-consuming ; Can get trapped by obstacles ; You'll still need to do some vacuuming yourself

We're not entirely convinced that leaving the NaviBot to its own devices while you're out at the pool is a barnstormingly good idea either. We've seen the NaviBot completely fail to navigate past the leg of our couch, get trapped on a 15mm-high section...

Samsung NaviBot

this is 100 times better than my roomba (or should i say my gf's) because it does it faster and doent ram into things, also quite quieter. Also doesn't leave marks on the floor

Samsung Navibot SR8855 Cleaning Robot - blue

It is a real change, you just click start & it does the rest! It works But, needs wide clear area for good results. You need to clean it after every run. More frequent cleaning of the machine. One of the major cons for me, I could not find spare parts...
