Black & Decker RV500 Zoombot Remote-Control Vacuum Reviews
dud
apart from the time it takes to clear a room for the thing to work, the unit would flake out before finishing a room, then 2 months later it wouldn’t take a charge at all.
save your time and money and stick with a regular vacuum.
There should be a minus star rating
Got item from a moronic seller who claims he`s never had to take back defective goods. Sitting on a defective Vacuum—batteries will not take a charge—and don`t seem to be able to get anyone`s attention that I want to order the upscale model. You might get a dood set of batteries, but if you don`t—be prepared for a whole bunch of mumbling!
Black & Decker RV500 Zoombot Remote-Control Vacuum
This vacuum cleaner is mostly for use on bare floors — it does an okay job. However, on carpets/rugs it doesn’t do as good. After letting it run on my carpet for a good while, it still didn’t get all the fuzzies & dirt that an uprite would.
All in all, I rate it “okay.”
Quick replacement for defective unit
Basically our experience is the same as that as everyone else. We got this as a gift for my FIL, who found it didn’t work on his carpets at all. We took it back to try it on our hardwood, though, and it was fine there. Adequate, at least. There are some thing about it I don’t like, such as the fact that the vacuum chamber has a paper filter that it is hard to completely clean without ripping.
When we got the unit back from him it had a problem, though. No matter how long you charged it, it would only run for 10 minutes. Maybe a “memory” issue in the battery? I called the maker, which wasn’t really B&D but their parent company. There was a date code on the plug prongs that estabhlished that the unit was under warranty, so I just had to cut the electrical plug off and send it in. In not much more than a week I got a complete replacement unit via FedEx. So I give the customer service people kudos. If it were me, though, I would probably still buy the Roomba for myself even if I only had hardwood.
It doesn’t work
I bought the zoombot as an alternative to buying the $250 roomba. Well I’ll bet that i’m not the first person to tell you that this robotic vacuum doesn’t work due to its lack of power, no roll brushes, and the short battery life. Do yourself a favor and give up a little more $$$ and buy a Roomba. I bought a roomba and I love it.
