Quick review

The good
You won't have to lift a finger
The bad
This is for people who don't create dirt
Verdict
While there is something calming about seeing a machine clean up your dirt, the reality is that this is more gimmick than help

  • If you don't charge its battery you review is correct.With a charged battery it's another story.O.K it does take longer to clean a house/flat -so what? youre watching 'home and away' or rugby.Yes, it does pick up Labrador hairs, broken crisps ( if they are small) and navel fluff.Its storage is not large but there is no reason for it to be, use it every day or so and it is more than adequete.Very Highly Recommended.
