Samsung Powerbot VR9000 review

Which do you prefer: Having spotless floors or having a robot vacuum for you? Because you can't have both.

The POWERbot is powerful, easy to use, and has some neat features. It’s good on both carpet and bare floors, picking up a good amount of debris and pet hair. It’s rugged enough to roll right over minor obstacles but gentle enough not to bang the hell...

Samsung's $1,000 robot vacuum wants to give Roomba a run

It's big, it's powerful, and it's got some cool tricks up its sleeve -- can it topple our top cleaners?

Though it didn't beat them outright, the PowerBot VR9000 kept up with Neato and Roomba in our tests, and it bests them both with its slate of unique features, including a killer point-cleaning feature.

The PowerBot lacks a side-sweeping brush to help it clean along walls, and it wasn't quite as sharp a navigator as Neato.

Top-of-the-line models from Roomba and Neato each clean better than the PowerBot while costing hundreds less. We're sticking with those.

Samsung VR9000 POWERbot Review

Best for a large empty spaces, it falters a little if there is lots of furniture or clutter

Great at carpet cleaning, fast

Expensive, struggles to dock, large

The Samsung does an excellent job of cleaning, but does make sacrifices in other ways. We found that the robot would have difficulty docking, and could be very frustrating to manually place on the charging base. If you are looking at purchasing this,...

TechSpective conducts a comprehensive review of the Samsung PowerBot VR9000 robot vacuum.

The Samsung PowerBot VR9000 is one of the best vacuums TechSpective has tested and it includes unique features and benefits that set it apart from competitors. The high price may make many customers think twice, though.

Samsung POWERbot VR9000 Review: A Luxury Vac Worth the Price Tag

Like a fancy touchscreen watch that reminds you to buy milk, a robot vacuum is a luxury few of us actually need—but many of us would love to have.

Samsung POWERbot VR9000 Review

Samsung's cleaning power is unequaled by all of the robot vacuums on our lineup. Its strong motor is also covered by a five-year warranty, so it's a great buy. It also includes a remote control that features a point-and-shoot method of directing the...

This robot vacuum had the greatest overall cleaning power of all the bots on our lineup.

It isn’t intuitive to use, and support is lacking for this unit.

The Samsung POWERbot excels in the most important category: cleaning. It also has an impressive navigation system that prevents it from bumping into most obstacles in its path. However, manufacturer support couldn’t help us in finding filter or battery...

Samsung Powerbot VR9000

The Powerbot VR9000 is Samsung's latest flagship robot vacuum cleaner boasting a host of sensors to navigate your room and avoid obstacles, a wide drum brush promising comprehensive cleaning and CycloneForce, which Samsung claims delivers up to 60...

Decent navigation ; Good on hard floors ; Gentle on furniture ; Remote control gives manual control

Struggled with small steps ; Poor carpet cleaning ; Doesn’t get close to edges ; Tangles with cables ; Expensive

A decent robot vacuum cleaner, but not good enough that we’d recommend you buy one.
