Hi, Do understand you are seeking a comparison between the LG Roboking square and Roomba 780. The LG Roboking 6260 LVM (Black, $858 with warranty) cleans and navigates systematically, square design allows it reach the corners better.
The Roomba 780 would muiti-pass certain areas repeatedly during the cleaning, but may miss some areas too.
The Lg Roboking cleans comprehensively, but most areas only once or twice, before returning back to dock.
In terms of picking up fine dust, the Roboking has a better HEPA filtration system which definitely traps finer dust. In terms of holding pet fur. The latest Lg roboking has a larger bin than the Roomba 780 and frequency of clearing the bin would be reduced.
The Roboking uses Li-ion polymer battery and would last much longer. The Roomba 780 has a LCD touchpad panel and some may like it.
Anyway, Can always arrange to bring both the Lg Roboking 6260 and Roomba 780 for your consideration. The Lg roboking would properly take 10min to clean the entire room and returns back to the same spot and angle you start off the cleaning.
The Roomba 780 would properly take twice the time and may miss some spots within the Room, let alone the whole house.
In any case, both Robots would assist you greatly in cleaning and picking up pet fur.
For a better understanding, Do read a range of review online from a range of forums, and I am sure you would make an excellent choice. :)

I have been using my Scooba for 5 months plus, and recently it start having some problem.
When I 'on' th scooba, in the beginning, it's will start cleaning with a screeching sound that last for probably about 1 minute.

I wonder what is that, and is it still safe to continue use it without damaging Scooba?

Wanna solve?

Remove the brush & tank for wash out and put a little bit more detergent for running few cycle should be back to normal :)

This I totally agree. My place is surrounded by 4 construction sites and 2 are right in front of all my windows, I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of dust my Roboking can pick up, else I will be breathing in all the dust.

Wah! The price is very attractive!

Price may look attractive, that is if it works. If it breaks down, this price is an expensive white elephant. Cheap products without any form of technical support or maintenance package = as good as throwing the $$ into the drain once it breakdown, especially unheard of brands.

I'm not an seller of any vac. Just my comments after researching for robots for my new place.

Looks good and affordably priced. It seems to take a similar design path to the LG, with the brushes located in front of the driving wheels and the bin removal from the top. It even uses a 3-yr lifespan lithium battery like the LG. The only thing lacking is a smart mapping system. If u are adventurous, it can be worth a shot, definitely looks more promising than the cheap Roomba clones from China.

Wow!! That sure is jam-packed with dust. The LG Roboking comes with an excellent HEPA filtration system and would pick up the the finest of Dust. Great that the "one-way" bin design allows you to remove the Bin without spillage of the Dust. The dust would properly spill out in the Roomba type bin.
But with the amount of Dust collected, May want to consider the Latest LG Roboking Square models, Roboking 6260 LVM (black, $858), comes with a much larger bin design and can hold much more dust. :)

Thanks kimsim.


I always remove the brush and tank to wash everyday. But I seldom put detergent.
Will try what you suggested.

Actually the screeching sound is the beeping sound which beep for a long interval.
Also, the cushioning of both side wheels has wear off, does it matter?
