LG Roboking

[ah ming]

I dont mind the marks. Im more worries that it crash till spoil. Anyway good news is the flashing did not spoil my bot but its still crashing into some furniture.

try removing the marks, it might not crash. I tried but it crashes after the bot caught onto some wires and went crazy again crashing.

anyone have issues with korean speaking VR-6270 ???

Not much issues faced. unless you run diagnosis mode, you may not understand what the bot talking about...

so you will recommend this to save the money right?

I think you need to keep your sensors free from dust or scratches, if not become like mine keep banging on walls and furniture.
I think Korean speaking is not a big issue. You know which button to press to start and stop and get it back to home hub will do. It takes a few minutes for you figure out and it may save you few hundreds is quite worth if language is your main concern aside from the newer version have new features which I not aware of. If those new features, you think you do not need then this will be quite a good investment.
Anyway my bot now speak English after I managed to google English voice update from some website. currently is ok. hope it does not create any issues in the future.

For my case i think i know the problem. My coffee table & shoe cabinet design is such that the bottom part is deeper but top part comes out a bit.

The bot's sensor is low so when it senses it thinks it can go closer but it doesnt know on top got the part that comes out a bit hence it gets knocked.

Ok this is what I meant in my earlier post. The Homebot camera (indicated in green) is very low and close to the floor. It only scans forward and not upwards.

My coffee table the base is narrower than the top as per my picture. So when the camera scans the front, it sees the part indicated in red in my picture and thinks it can move forward till that red area.

What it doesn't realise is the part indicated in blue is blocking as the camera is unable to see that high. So as the bot moves forward in an attempt to reach the red part, it crashes into the blue part.

Similar problem with my shoe cabinet as the shoe cabinet doors are NOT flushed with the base and sticks out like the blue part in my picture above.

That is the only thing I can think of as it does not crash into my dinner table legs or into the walls.

But having said all that, my kitchen cabinets are also like my shoe cabinet i.e. the doors stick out a bit. Yet the bot doesn't crash into the kitchen cabinet. So I guess its still a mystery after all.

For the record I do use the brush to brush away dust from all cameras. Sometimes I also use my Philips vacuum to suck away dust (if any) from my cameras, and wipe it with my 3M dusting cloth. So its NOT like I don't maintain my bot.

Hi,

is VR-6270LVM currently the most used now? Should be able to clean a 3rm flat fully?

Qoo10 Selling at $599, is the price ok or should wait for promo? Don't need it urgently.

We have been using this model for more than 6 months. We are very happy with the performance of this bot. We do less manual mopping and zero vacuuming now. the price back then was also $599. I think it's a good price if you compare to what SG is selling now.

Thanks Tyongchi, will wait for less than $599 then hoot.

I think lowest I've seen it hitting 400 during some once a year crazy sales. Haha but you won't get to wait till it happen la.

I'm using this for 2.5 years and still going strong! My best buy for the household and I got it for $828!

Few times usage? How old is it? Surely its within warranty period?

Anyway for those of you going to service centre at Labrador, I suggest you buy spares too while you are there. Unless of course you live near there then no issues. Like for me, I live far away from there so when I went there to buy spares like the filter, brushes, etc I bought more as I don't fancy having to go down every other month.

I called LG service center, they don't service my model because it is not available in Singapore.

mine bought from Q10, don't think there warranty from sg.

Think, I shall give up on Roboking and search for a new robot.

The hassle of repairing and miscellaneous cost does not seem to justify.


Ecovacs anyone ?
