      no
      close doors or use the magnetic strips to restrict access.

      it will map the house each time it cleans (but doesn't make reference to it for subsequent cleans).

      • Deviner on 22/07/2017 - 12:20

        Exactly as chl15 says - you can use the magnetic strips to section off areas of the house if you need to.
        You'll need to purchase them separately tho as they don't come with it.

  • Maddutchman on 21/07/2017 - 17:12

      Very good.
      Just search for this product on the other xiaomi vacuum threads and you'll see other people giving this a thumbs up with dog hair

    • Tacosaurus Rex on 22/07/2017 - 19:25

      Great with our dogs (and cats). Just gotta empty the bin after each cycle. Had mine for a week. Incredibly impressed after owning a Neato and a number of Roombas.

  • Pelilah on 21/07/2017 - 17:27

    Whats the app functionality like? Is everything in english and translated properly?

    • Heybargain on 21/07/2017 - 17:28

      Yes
      Easily changed.

    Damn.. i only bought from them yesterday for $377.xx

    • Heybargain on 21/07/2017 - 17:43

      You could ask them to cancel your transaction and rebuy.

  • SBOB on 21/07/2017 - 18:11

    Thanks, finally decided to get one and it's already marked as shipped.

    The code PLENTY doesn't work for me.

    • chenny on 21/07/2017 - 19:24

      Try selecting Paypal as payment option. It wouldn't let me use the code with Creditcard selected as payment

      • visionistnz on 22/07/2017 - 01:08

        Thanks. I selected Paypal as the payment option but the code still didn't work.
        I got "This code can't be applied to your order." error.. :-( But the code C50Z worked.

        • visionistnz on 22/07/2017 - 01:48

          Finally, I bought it! My Ebay account had my previous NZ address!

  • ahara on 21/07/2017 - 18:31

    Thanks OP.
    Bought one and already for shipping notification from seller.

    Now let's hope my wife doesn't kill me for spending money on this.
    Time will tell. Maybe I need to buy a gift for her as well and then she will be easier on me.

      • Neatoboy on 21/07/2017 - 21:19

        Yes they do except this is a robot that has sensors so it may need light to work

    • blamesociety on 21/07/2017 - 20:39

      It's a fair question as it may confuse dark with a drop (step). I have bathroom vanities that are raised off the ground with no feet (they are attached to the wall) and the vacuum can fit under them. It will not go under them if I have the bathroom light ON because it casts a shadow under the vanity and it thinks it's a step, so I actually have more luck keeping the lights off.

        What type of vacuum do you have?

        • blamesociety on 21/07/2017 - 23:53

          Not sure if you've heard of it. I have a little known vacuum cleaner called a Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum. I think I might be able to dig up a link to a deal on one if you're interested?

  • OzFrugie on 21/07/2017 - 20:47

    Does this work well in an apartment?

    • xoom on 21/07/2017 - 20:51

      Cant see why not. If anything it would finish cleaning quicker seeing it has less floor area to vacuum.

      • OzFrugie on 21/07/2017 - 21:17

        Did u own one? So it has to be excellent at dodging obstacles then..? Will it get stuck if there are obstacles on the floor eg.clothes or it will be smart enough to avoid them?

        • blamesociety on 21/07/2017 - 21:21
          +1

          The object has to be hard enough to trip a bump sensor. It will not usually detect clothes and may get stuck on them. Mine tried to eat a sock, but when it got stuck in the brush roller, it stopped and sent an error to the app and then patiently waited for me to get home and remove the sock, then it finished the clean.

        • xoom on 21/07/2017 - 21:23

          Waiting on mine. From the videos on YouTube i have seen. It does great working its way around obstacles like furniture. Not so great on things like cables or clothes on the floor however. Someones phone charger got yanked out of the socket when it got run over by the vacuum.

          But hey. As someone has said its an incentive not to leave cables or clothes on the floor.

    Have to say so far my experience with gearbite has been outstanding. I stuffed up my payment and did not have hesitation to give back so I can use the right one. Shipped out that day too. Among other things, it blew me away with the service. Loyalty earned.

  • drprox on 21/07/2017 - 21:13

    Bah! I'm buying one but really hope it helps the wife out. She vacuums quite a bit and baby due any day!

    Got one from last deal. cannot believe it can got cheaper. Is ebay/paypal has some sort of the price guarantee or something like that if the price dropped in 30 days you can get the difference back?

  • EnergicAU on 21/07/2017 - 23:42

    Got this, parents got this from the last two deals. Highly recommend gearbite, fast shipping and got my refund from roboguy too! Winning

    This is a good deal!

  • Bluberry on 22/07/2017 - 03:49

    So is this seller legit and is the stock actually in melbourne?

  • 2real4u on 22/07/2017 - 08:28

    If only I could get my money back from roboguy so I can pay for this, hurry up PayPal!

  • theevilcarot on 22/07/2017 - 09:55

    Great timing, I got my Roboguy refund from PayPal this morning jumped on this deal and saved $40l. I can't wait for it to actually arrive. Its funny that the roboguy ship arrived in Melbourne this morning. I'm sure I'll still get my gearbite order faster than I if I'd waited.

    • xoom on 22/07/2017 - 10:36

    I've had one now for about a month. Man these things are amazing! Mine currently vacuums approximately 120 square meters twice a day! This is the perfect companion to have with young kids! Kids spread the dirt my Mi Robot (Named HAL9000) cleans up automatically after breakfast and in the evening. Has saved soooooooooooooooooo much time.

    The only thing I's like to be able to do is input custom voices and custom phrases to make it more like HAL.

  • Spending2Much on 23/07/2017 - 06:27

    Does it need full time wifi internet? I presume it's needed to get real time updates for the app, but can it run without the internet?

      It needs full time internet to report back to its chinese overlords so they can monitor you 24/7.

  • bulkie on 23/07/2017 - 12:04

    Dumb question but how well does this thing vacuum carpets? Just asking because all mjy rooms are carpetted.

  • Shiny Mew on 23/07/2017 - 12:11

    While this device would be most attractive to time-poor households, a few niggling questions remain:

    • in terms of durability, how does the device hold up against young children? I can just see my toddler son picking it up like a toy and breaking it as soon as he sees it
    • how well does it perform on shag-pile rugs?
    • what is the cleaning performance like compared to the fantastic German-made Miele C-series vacuums (the best choice for 'manual' vacuums and that which I am used to)?
    • duketing on 23/07/2017 - 16:20

      Not advertised kid or pet proof so don't let them touch it.

      Shag pile depends on how long but not really. See 4:25 in the video link. https://youtu.be/18So812aZvc

      It is not a replacement, it is like a maintenance vacuum. You still need to do a good clean one a while.

  • baggyred on 24/07/2017 - 11:04

    Very interested in this - however did have queries about loose stuff lying around

    I have 3 boys (all under 9) and things like nerf bullets etc and toys are left on the ground. Does this thing simply navigate around?

    If not - is it easily retrievable from the dust bin?

    How about under tables and through chair legs?

    Edit: and what if you change house - does it need "resetting"

    Looks like these guys didn't have enough stock again. Not sure why they sell more than they have? I bought mine not long after they posted here, it was supposedly sent on Friday or Monday so I was expecting this to arrive today as the eBay listing said, will be leaving negative feedback if I don't receive it this week. Tracking hasn't showed any movement.

    • bemybubble on 26/07/2017 - 15:25

      "will follow up today, we have many orders last weekend, all order has been process, but we may have 20 unit short. New stock arrive yesterday, wait for Auspost pick up, we order extra van from post office today. If you do not receive update today, please let me know."

      • johnnytran on 26/07/2017 - 16:32

        That was their response during the previous deal I think. You'd think they would have learnt to keep their customers happy. I'll be away from home for a couple weeks from Friday.. there won't be anybody around to collect this. How annoying :(

        • SBOB on 26/07/2017 - 17:06

          could be worse…..could be roboguy

          their details here did say 280 units available, but i guess their ebay listing makes no mention of what happens when their local stock runs dry

      You have to give them some slack cause I sure they are going as quick as they can with the amount of orders they are processing over the 280. People still got to have food and break time. At least they replied compared to someone else.

      • sirrobin on 27/07/2017 - 14:19

        slack would be deserved if they had bothered to communicate this with buyers instead of pretending everything got shipped out (shipping label notifications were sent sunday). i shouldnt have to chase them up

    • smux on 27/07/2017 - 23:16

    Ugh, so I sent gearbite a message to find out where my package is because the tracking details are vague and magically the tracking is updated to show that it was sent from their warehouse in Vic, but only just today!

    I should have received it by today in Brisbane. I'm not sure how they expect a good review for this type of service.

    For anyone else who hasn't received theirs I would double check with them to make sure they send it, otherwise they could just delay it further.

  • skatoz on 28/07/2017 - 20:17

    Ordered last Friday 21/7. Mine was marked as shipped on 22/7, estimated to arrive on 26/7, the tracking now shows it was only picked up from sender on 28/8 and is still sitting in VIC. Disappointed.
