Bissell SpinWave Hard Floor Expert Wet and Dry Robot Vacuum, 3115

What a cool little helper-Bot! Since i got him this afternoon i’ve watched him tackle every floor i have; tile, hard wood, flagstone, knobby rugs, persian rugs, deep-pile rugs (these last it likes the least, but didn’t hesitate to go for it!) In mop mode it KNOWS to avoid carpet! It’s so smart but perhaps i’m just easily Enchanted! I learned that it’s weakest area is deep corners full of grit so before i turn him loose next time i’ll pre-sweep those areas into the middle of the room for him. It’s the least i can do considering what he does for me. I’m a decades loyal Bissell girl, so i’m hardly surprised how much i truly like this unit. I didn’t even download the app or pair it to wifi. This little bot is great right out of the box! I charged it for 5 hours, pressed it’s little “play” button, and off he went! Quiet, self correcting, and even smart enough to know where he’d already been! I’m sure for $1,500 i could have gotten a Bot that would serve cocktails too, but this is a working girl’s dream! For about a tenth of the price i can work all day and come home to clean floors! No cat hair tumbleweeds and dust bunnies rolling thru, cat litter and chow crumbs gone, it does a great job mopping too, has a nice large capacity for grit, hair, and mopping solution, and IT DOESNT NIBBLE AT MY CARPET FRINGE! Also, without ever pairing it to an app it has 2 tricks; you can activate it on it’s charger pad, and it will take off observing a back and forth overlapping track, OR you can pick it up and set it down on a problem area and it will spin around and suck up all the grit or spot clean the stains away. I didn’t want to go to the poor house, i just wanted help in my day and this little guy goes under chairs and bookcases, and does a lovely job. My cats are happy with him because he’s not loud, and moves slowly and predictably and it’s a BISSELL! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! Double tap the “play” key and he’ll hunt around for his docking station, and put himself away to recharge! I recommend this unit for every working pet owner! Spend a couple hundred and come home with one LESS thing to do!!! It’s easy to operate RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! Now, 2 weeks LATER, I’m still excited to go home every night and clean my floors 😄 and i’ve had a chance to learn Little Bissell’s foibles. He struggles on deep carpet as one would expect. What i like to do is turn him loose each night and let him brush up all the cat hair into visible little balls, and, when he toddles back to his station to recharge, i quickly saw over the area with a rolling carpet sweeper. I think of each session as an investment and it’s a FACT that my carpets and floors have never been so clean. I’m quite spoiled now. I’ve always had plenty of cats, and we tend to resign ourselves to stepping on litter grit, chow chips, and there’s ever so much hair. NOT ANYMORE! i got some nice solutions to add to his mopping resevoir, and there’s a handy variety pack of assorted brushes, filters and mop heads for this model that i also scapped up. AGAIN: NOT A PERFECT PERFORMANCE (you need to spend 2grand for that) BUT A REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT IN DAILY MAINTENANCE, AND A PROFOUND HELP FOR AN OLD LADY WHO STILL WORKS. There are things i wish were better, but for just a couple of hundred dollars I’m THRILLED! A) I am never scrubbing my floors again! B) I am not ashamed to invite people IN! C) I don’t need to kill myself to prepare for company! D) I will never be without this Bissell! It has become as valuable in this house as a microwave! I got return on this investment the day i got it, and it’s paid for itself over and over again! What a RELIEF! I finally stopped following him around grinning over my coffee mug as he works out, but even though i go about MY business, if he runs into trouble he calls me. The deeper the carpet the more you have to clean the roller brush out. Duh! BUT It’s also less and less interrupting every day. I let this little guy run 3x/day (1 sweep cycle, i go to work, another sweep cycle when i get home, and one mop cycle over night) TOTAL GAME CHANGER! Best decision i’ve ever made for a home improvement!

I bought the vacuum to clean the main level of our house. It does work, but not as expected. Our house, typical of houses built on hills does not lie on a North-South axis, but somewhat skewed to match the contour of the hill. My guess is that, although the manufacturer claims the robot is stabilized by gyroscopes, they actually make considerable use of an internal compass. If it were really a gyroscope it would tend to train itself against a solid surface like a wall and make long rows parallel to the wall. Instead, no matter where it is placed or in which direction, the robot tends to whirl around and take off on a diagonal. Better instructions on initial placement would certainly help, but I suspect that this odd feature may be unavoidable. "Bizzie Lizzy," as we call her keeps changing her course to run diagonally across the room instead of parallel to the walls. This makes for excessive wall- and furniture-bumping. She also loses track of where she has been and tends to get caught up in circles in complex rooms with irregular walls. On the other hand there was no problem with getting caught up in draperies or bed skirts. She seems to sense that something is there and makes no effort to fight with them. I watched closely to intervene, if necessary. In the dining room and kitchen she spent a lot of time repeating certain areas while pretty much ignoring other areas. Nevertheless she eventually got to most of it. She certainly did a better job than having your teenager do the vacuuming. I did remove the dining room chairs in the sake of efficiency, which only took a few minutes. I also found that it was better to close the draperies on the sliding glass doors because Bizzy Lizzie kept trying to climb into the track section and would get caught on a tilt (remember, she goes diagonally so she keeps doing the same thing on each trip across the room). I am assuming that I will gain more expertise in learning where I can initially place her so that she will do more broad sweeps first rather than spending a lot of time whirling around in pockets between the larger pieces of furniture. One big complaint I have is that she keeps losing her foam "ears" which help guide her around corners. These are not glued in place, just sort of snapped into a groove. They pop out frequently. Sometimes she runs over them and vacuums them up. I would like to see these more securely attached with some sort of clamp. Not too surprisingly, she does better in smaller rooms with less furniture. The bathrooms, kitchen and hallway were accomplished with ease--though I did find it useful to close the door in the middle of the hallway as she seemed a bit confused with trying to deal with a full 30 feet. A 15 foot section seemed easier. Again, it would be helpful if she did long runs parallel to the walls rather than bumping around with shorter diagonal sweeps. It was particularly useful to have Bizzy Lizzy clean in the pantry, where the dust bunnies tend to collect far back under the deep lower shelves, the robot is short enough to go under the bottom shelves, which can be very difficult to reach otherwise. At this point we do intend to keep her, and see if we can figure out how to overcome her oddities. On her initial cleaning runs she picked up lots of dirt and debris and left each of the rooms that I put her in looking nice. Given her habit of getting tangled up in the hollows between furniture and beeping for help, together with the need to confine her to one smaller space after another I can't imagine even trying to let her run without supervision. There is absolutely no way she could manage to clean several rooms while I am away. I can be in a nearby room doing something else, but the vacuuming would simply never finish if she didn't have someone to move her around. As far as returning to the space where she started, that didn't even happen in my 8 X 16 foot galley kitchen. However, it is still a whole lot easier than doing the vacuuming myself. Update: After trying to use Bizzy Lizzy over the Thanksgiving weekend she is going back. My sons were here and they experimented with me on placement to try to find a way to get her to actually do a whole room without being picked up and put in a new location to start over. Pretty much total fail. I wouldn't mind her wandering around a lot and overdoing some areas if she would just get the whole floor. At one point we left her in a bathroom for 30 minutes. When we opened the door the shred of toilet paper left slightly off the center of the room was still there. Two of four corners were untouched. Too much attention is required of Lizzie to be considered a time saver. Stars are reduced from 3 to 1 because the only thing I really care about is that the floor is eventually cleaned. Didn't happen

Me gusto mucho , me ayudan y lo hace muy bien

Because I bought this through Amazon, Bissell was not interested when it stopped working within a few months of purchase. While it did work, it was really the best I've had since the Scooba was discontinued, but it was a fair sum of money to get probably less than 3 months' use from. I am moving away from this brand, as I've had no success with the Crosswaves, either.....

Se hace llamar Pet Robot, y cuando aspira no deposita los pelos del perro en el contendor (ver foto). se quedan todos atorados en el rodillo. Pésimo como robot, Adicionalmente el algoritmo de navegación que tiene programado deja muchas áreas sin aspirar o se traba en cada esquina. La aplicación para Apple esta bloqueada para su uso en México, solo puedes usar la de Android. No lo recomiendo parar nada…evalúen otras opciones. Robot de la mitad de su precio hacen mejor trabajo.

Funciona bien por un tiempo. El problema es que poco a poco la suciedad comienza a acumularse y por más que lo limpies las alarmas del robor son frecuentes. Ya dejé de usarlo porque, a pesar del constante mantenimiento de limpieza que debes hacerle, hay lugares que no alcanzas con algun cepillo o instrumento normal y una de las llantas rincipales ya no funciona correctamente, el robot se va de lado hasta que se detiene con una alarma de error. Ya hay mejores opciones y en México.

Funcionó bien dos meses en barredora y ahora hace lo que quiere, no sigue ningún patrón, se descarga muy rápido. En trapeadora muy pobre el rendimiento. No la compren no vale el precio.
