Hello everyone,
After seeing several discussions about robotic vacuum cleaners in various threads here, we are increasingly convinced that we want to get one of these devices.
The Vorwerk Kobold VR200 and also the VR100 robotic vacuums, which have been mentioned here multiple times, seem quite expensive to me (749 and 599 euros, respectively).
So I went to the website of my trusted online retailer and searched for "robotic vacuum." Then I selected the robotic vacuum cleaner category: 161 results. Prices ranged from around 75 euros to nearly 900 euros.
One model that caught my eye was the Philips FC8820/01 because it reportedly allows you to point the remote control at dirt if something falls on the floor, and it will vacuum it up.
Does anyone have experience with these devices? Can anyone recommend other models?
Do they always only clean the room where you place them, or do they clean the entire floor (assuming the doors are open)?
My requirements:
Thank you very much for your feedback.

My requirements:
- Initially, only one device for the ground floor, possibly another for the upper floor later.
- Living area about 92 m² (990 sq ft) on the ground floor, with the largest room about 55 m² (592 sq ft).
- Charging station (I don’t want to plug the device in manually every time).
- Good cleaning performance.
- Not excessively noisy (even though we are mostly not at home).
- Good price/performance ratio.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

And? What was your impression?Yes, I did have a good impression regarding this demonstration. Whether it also matches the actual "real" conditions is hard to say. Additionally, a vacuum and mop cleaner was also presented. ^^

Doc.Schnaggls14 Sep 2015 14:10The attachment for simultaneous vacuuming and mopping for the "large" Kobold is also a great feature.
With it, our ground floor (porcelain stoneware) is perfectly cleaned in a single step.
We usually use the vacuum mop about every 3 to 4 weeks – the rest of the time, our robot vacuum does a good job maintaining a clean surface.
Best regards,
Dirk

Häuslebau3r14 Sep 2015 15:08That's quite interesting to read, Dirk. I was rather skeptical about the whole thing myself ^^

Doc.Schnaggls14 Sep 2015 15:34It was the same for me at first.
But by now, I have learned that Vorwerk never builds anything that doesn’t work...
