No scheduling on that one, also no remote so you couldn't dock it under a bookcase as you need to press a button on the unit itself

m'lady · 01-04-2014 12:19AM

After reading this thread I'm very tempted to visit my local Aldi and see if there are any left... Now all they have to bring out is a robotic mop and I'll be a happy bunny!

I don't think the Vileda one returns to base when it's finished or needs a charge though does it?
That is such a bonus, I love love mine and the fact that it recharges itself and heads out again if it has't finished

I have barely used my Miele, maybe once, think I will sell it now.
I bought the Black and Decker pivot vac 18v as well for the stairs and together they are the business. Infact I don't think the Miele has seen the light of day since both Edward and Frederick starting working together.

Does anyone know if they have any left in Aldi in Finglas?

randombar · 01-04-2014 01:14PM

What are these like to get over door stops, or do they? And from floor to rug??

Answered a few times above but mostly fine unless it's a bigger depth

randombar · 01-04-2014 01:28PM

Sorry for the repetition, 14 pages and only 30 mins for lunch

Hopefully one will pop up on adverts soon

blueturnip · 01-04-2014 06:24PM

I've decided that Spencer is the business!!

He has been wandering around every day since I bought him while we are out at work, the floors do look cleaner! I did give the floor a proper once over with the real Hoover, but I don't see us doing that too often now.

He is great on the tiles and we have a low pile carpet so he manages that fine too! He does have trouble with the mat in the hall, but prepared to live with that.

Now the question is, should I buy one for upstairs too?!

Pinkycharm · 01-04-2014 07:38PM

Anyone know if there are any left in Limerick?? Missed the last one in Nenagh

Pinkycharm · 01-04-2014 07:43PM

It comes to €186 here including postage etc from Italy. Its off amazon and the same model it seems. Will order tomorrow if I cant find one in Limerick!

JuliusCaesar · 01-04-2014 09:17PM

Any left? Anywhere in Dublin? Anywhere?

BuzzFish · 01-04-2014 11:58PM

2 left in Naas.
Picked up one yesterday. Its the job alright!

evosteo · 02-04-2014 12:07PM

got the last 1 in carlow. its was the display one in the glass box. dying to get home and try it now

Pythia · 03-04-2014 09:54AM

We have had ours a week now. While it doesn't pick up everything on the carpet, when you actually empty the box with the dust, there is loads in there. We have a hairy dog and cat so it is picking up a lot of their hairs. For people like us who hate vacuuming and don't do it as often as we should, it's brilliant.

Pinkycharm · 05-04-2014 12:34PM

Any left around i wonder, wanted to get one as a present!

Chiparus · 05-04-2014 06:12PM

Mother bought me one even after I tried to convince her not to.

Actually suprised how good it is.
Great at picking up dog hairs

Pinkycharm · 05-04-2014 06:31PM

would you believe it just got one in Limerick!

majoliroja · 06-04-2014 07:26AM

Someone earlier did say they didn't think the battery was guaranteed for the 3 year warranty and they were quite correct
The battery is only warranted for 3 months although they state it will last around 2 years and it costs £20 to replace
The filters and brushes are around 4 to 5 pound to replace with a £3.95 delivery charge

Where do you buy the replacements?

majoliroja · 06-04-2014 10:24AM

I rang the number that's on the hoover and in the booklet
Clearly the ariete bricola is the exact same model number 2711 but I cant find anywhere where they sell the parts for that hoover so I guess I will have to use easy home but if anyone else on here knows more please share the info

Wonder is it as good. Seriously cheap.

I got the aldi one. Very impressed. Deep carpets were never gonna fair great but other than that its fantastic. I have it on every other day. If im upstairs its on downstairs and vice versa. Love how it returns to its base. Funny, and handy.

reni10 · 06-04-2014 05:15PM

I see there is one left in aldi kingsmeadow in Waterford in the glass case for anyone still looking for one.

Psychobabble · 06-04-2014 11:00PM

There were a few in Aldi East Wall this afternoon.

philthrill69 · 07-04-2014 01:33PM

Two left in Aldi Cobh last night.

Hi Folks,

Will it move around all rooms, or confined to one room only

I take it , it builds of a plan of your downstairs rooms for example

what happens if you bring it upstairs, and let it do its thing

Will it remember its downstairs plan , when you return it down stairs

Afaik it doesn't.

It just goes about randomly (per run, it does seem to avoid backtracking), which makes sense in case you move furniture etc.

This is why I am not getting one of these "dump" robots - I'll wait till for these devices to advance a bit more, incorporates more sensors and cleverly figures out how to cover maximum floor space with least distance traveled and taking less time over all to clean given area; and then perhaps a 'maintenance' mode where they would first scan the floor around them and will clean if they sense dirt / dust.

I live in hope.

For anyone interested in the Groupon vacuum,here it is in action:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eWeI59_Qpk

And on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freetime-Robot-Cleaner-R88-03/dp/B008DYG4UK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kh_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AEM5B7MGHJJJM50Y7C0

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it has the self-docking feature as on many of the similar vacuums.
