How did I ever manage before I got this?!!
of Lauren from Worthing:
We have laminate flooring which forever seems to attract dust and bits. This bothered me a lot and I was frequently running my normal vacuum around. So I decided to order a "Cleanfriend". I really didn't know if it would be any good as I'd had no experience with these machines.
It had a little bit of charge in it straight out the box so I was able to switch it on right away. It's intuitive to use and it just works! It whizzes around, not overly loudly like a normal vacuum, and bits just disappear underneath it leaving a spotless floor!! I let it run around several times a day and the floor stays much cleaner now. If it encounters a doormat it reverses itself off. If it gets wedged under a low chair you may need to help it out! When it encounters walls etc it bumps into them and changes direction.
It lasts about 4+ days (in our small rooms) before needing a charge. It gets slower as the battery gets used up, then a red light on the robot comes on and he stops. Charging time is approx. 8 hours, but the green light on the robot stops blinking to let you know when it's fully charged anyway. I haven't used the battery charging cradle yet, I just plug it directly into the charger (which needs an EU to UK power adaptor). Luckily my electric toothbrush two-pin plug adaptor fits with this charger.
To empty the collection tray, just look for the button marked "Press", then pull out the tray. The underneath of the robot will also need wiping and check the brushes for accumulation of muck as well.
The other day I dabbled with the remote control that comes with it (needs two AAA batteries) and you can make it go Forward, Back, Left and Right if you want to control its path through a messy room, or want it to quickly do just one part of a room.
The red colour is very smart too!
