Default New cheap robotic hoover

I've found ads for another robo hoover, but this one is much cheaper
at £70.

http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/Produc...product=76240#
http://www.modern-originals.com/prod...e=10166&TID=22

I plan to get a robot vac, but I couldnt find any serious info about
this one, nothing but a few poorly written sales pitches. The sellers
dont exactly inspire confidence either. Does anyone know anything
about it? Is it any good? Has anyone reviewed it anywhere?

Thanks, NT

I can only assume it's absolute tat.

It is. The only one that works at all is the Roomba, which is $200 in
the US(with tax). You can buy this from Argos I believe at £300 in the
UK. This product IOE is quite good (actually a bit disconcerting,
because it recovers a lot of embarassing dust and tiny crumbs from the
edges, which you didn't know were there), does smooth floors and short
pile carpet tiles beautifully. We bought it as an act of folly and are
pleased with it apart from the 12 hour recharge time. The cheap ones are
motorised Dust Busters and IME useless. We did look at these as they
were much cheaper, but one look was enough!
