Unfortunately the Alexa and app functionality on this is non existent for me – the device won’t link to the app.
Amazon were kind enough to go through customer support with me, went through a load of troubleshooting and even replaced the device, but we can’t get either one working. They gave me the manufacturer’s troubleshooting email but they were no help whatsoever and didn’t actually end up getting back to me.
Disappointed as I got it for the app and Alexa functionality. It struggles in my house and being able to set no-go zones would have made it wonderful.
It’s still better than hoovering manually and I should say, the hoover on it is a decent quality and does a good job. The mop functionality doesn’t actually clean, it doesn’t even get our floor wet.
Really good coverage. Quiet and the mop is good too.
After first use, I was quite surprised by how much fluff this has managed to pick up! Really very clever and manages to get right under my sofas and coffee table leaving my floors clean and dust free! The cat is however terrified of it lol
This machine has more suction then the wife. It’s brilliant.
Only downside is the remote, you have to point right at the machine for it to work.
This product is a roomba dupe to a T! It’s so great, I will say the navigation isn’t the best but it helps for quick vaccums when you have pets. Mop setting works great, probably the best value for money product, super easy to clean too!
Best buy of the year. Long battery duration, easy to clean and good looking too. Love the mop too. Just love everything about it. Work good on my wooden floor, tiles and carpet! Up n down little bumps no bother.
It does its job well! I’m impressed! That’s less chores for me esp if you want your floor always sparkling clean after your days work outside home. I was so happy I already recommended it to my sister in the US!
Love this robotic hoover very easy to use and clean and does the job well in my experience.
I brought this and weeks large was given a Roomba by a family member, think it would be the better model, I was surprised when it wasn’t.. this climbs onto thick rugs, does well over some leads, not all.. but dual brushes work well for following my dog around.. if you struggle with dog hair, this really takes the edge off..
We bought an iRoomba a few years ago and with my son moving into his flat he really wanted one. I bought this for him as a moving gift not expecting too much but he is absolutely over the moon with it. To say he loves his robot hoover would be an understatement. Pleasantly surprised and would now consider one myself.
This is the 2nd one I have purchased. The 1st stopped working so was sent back and refunded from Amazon. The 1st was better as could connect via Bluetooth to an app and set it off remotely, this one just has a timer but works perfectly. Have named him Sweep, just like the kiddy TV show but is far more entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
Very fast delivery. Works well we just let It off and it does its own thing ,always gets back to
Charging.
It definitely makes a good job of carpet vaccuming. Not so sure on mopping, it seemed to smear water around and I had to go round drying after. Wish the vaccum tank was bigger.
I have to say that I was not convinced of this robot if it will be able to clean the house well, but this device is really great … it vacuums my house 2 times a day in the morning and in the evening, the suction power is good, you do not have to fix it … it has 2 on the sides brushes, which allows him to sweep rubbish even from the corners of the walls … It does not break against walls like other vacuum cleaners, it only slows down in front of the walls … works the same during the day and at night, it does not need lighting for cleaning … it has 3 power levels which is useful when vacuuming at night … the biggest advantage is that in my case it can drive anywhere even under the slack and armchairs because it is 73mm high … This is really great … the control is simple, you can do it using the application and remote control … an additional filter and 2 replacement brushes are included in the set … I am really happy with this device it allows me to save a lot of time, especially in the evening …
It was the best present as my wife said. She is very happy with this purchase. It was easy to set up and run well. The vacuum cleaned perfectly. We have a carpet and laminate floor. Robot moved around the rooms with no problem and picked up the dust really well. My wife was quite impressed. It was so low that it even cleaned under the sofa area we struggled to clean before. No more moving sofa around to clean the underneath.
To try the mopping function we rolled the carpet so it there were whole room to mop. It was good too. The floor looked pretty clean.
Overall great product.
Following a lot of research, I bought this robo vacuum and can honestly say he is my favourite and most helpful member of my household. I encouraged many friends and family to buy him too and everyone of them has been impressed. This gadget will SAVE you money. We no longer need a cleaner every other week, it’s that good!
Phenomenally good – have bought two robot vac cleaners in the past – they do have lifetime. This one has a very good motion control – gets into corners and does edges very well. I’ve tried the mop function and this is pretty good for a moderately dirty floor. The mop pad showed it had cleaned a good amount.
I don’t think it prevents the need for a proper deep down hoover but this little workhorse clears up surface mess as it aimlessly wanders around the room. I have quite deep carpet and so it leaves lines as it goes but not in a mowed lawn way but more a random manner. I have only had it a week and it has already been tasked with cleaning EVERY room of the house more than once. I love that it can hoover under the bed and I don’t have to move it like before. I have also got it to “mop” the kitchen floor – although someone else describing it as like dragging a wet towel across the floor in another review is pretty accurate description – I wasn’t expecting it to get a scrubbing brush out!
It obviously takes longer than what it would to push a hoover around yourself but I think setting it off every few days will keep on top of things.
If I don’t have to hoover or mop I am happy!
The only issue is getting spare parts which I ordered WITH the hoover. 3 times I have been sent the wrong item (for a different model Venga vacuum). So as long as you don’t need replacement parts (cos I don’t think they will ever send the right ones!) the vacuum itself is a little gem.
It is a cheap robot vac compared to others on the market – I just hope the parts last!
Only had for a week or 2, used everyday. Would have given 5 stars but its started to get stuck!! Not much good when I’m upstairs cleaning and it’s downstairs stuck on something and I come down to find the floor isn’t hoovered.
I bought this product as I liked the colour – White when most others are black.
I also bought the Gyro model to see how it performed and am delighted with the way it covers the hard floor are in the kitchen, dining room and hall.
The other thing I was curious about was the mopping. This best done on a manual basis rather than on a remote pre program because if you leave the water in over night the floor will get wet.
The mopping works by dragging a cloth over the floor that is damp. Best to put a small amount of water in the tank as it really needs very little and then set off manually .
Liked the way the water tank item also has an integral collector for dirt and dust.
Overall very pleased with my purchase.
It’s difficult to find a space to leave it permanently on the floor unless you have a huge area. But I set it up a couple of times a week in our kitchen/dining area and it gets nicely into the corners and edges on a mixture of tiled and wooden floors. It makes a reasonable attempt on carpets but isn’t thorough enough for most people ( I would think) .
We haven’t tried the mop function yes.
To sum up, it’s reasonable value for money, but won’t meet all vacuuming needs for the average family household.
I had this vacuum & mop for a week now. It was delivered super fast. It was easy to assemble and ready to use. At first I thought I would only use it downstairs (lounge, kitchen, hallway & bathroom) but now I used it in upstairs bedrooms and I’m delighted!
We use it daily downstairs. It’s brilliant. Doesn’t get stuck, it does good job at cleaning and mopping. The mop function is great. It’s not spring clean style but definitely refreshed the floors.
I can recommend it, our house looks tidy and I can do other stuff whilst the robot is doing its thing.
I only wish i got it sooner.
Household: 2 cats, 2 people in the house. It copes with our maine coon fur and my long hair which I’m over the moon with.
It really helps to keep on top of things.
Noise: you can hear it if it’s in the same room. But you can still watch your fav Netflix show!
Cats: both freaked out at first but getting used to it gradually. No different to our existing shark vacuum.
Useful for the very busy, son took it to university and I miss it! But be prepared to clear floor of objects or thin rugs it might tangle o
I chose this Venga after reading many great reviews and I’m so glad I did! This beauty really does work, I have two dogs and work with children in my home so the floors get messy, I finish work and let the Venga do its work while I prep dinner or take a shower, a game changer! My floors are laminated wood and tiles downstairs, it works on carpets too, it’s sensors prevent it toppling downstairs, great suction, it’s mopping function is good, I mean it can’t scrub your floors but its good for a quick spruce up. You can set the timer on the remote for it to work when you’re asleep or out of the house but I haven’t in used this yet. Watch out for cords, cables, shoelaces as it can get tangled and stuck. Overall, very happy with it.
Overall great product. Does what it says and excellent for what it is really. I mean you will still probably want to deep clean once a week using proper vacuum cleaner but for keeping the house tidy on a daily basis, especially when you’ve got cats/dogs in the house. Does an excellent job and it’s basically a matter of pressing the auto button on the remote. Easy to clean and very quiet. Seems to have no problems with gliding between different levels like a carpet/rug/ laminate/ threshold bars. Definitely very good buy.
I brought this robot vac to replace my neato D8,as after 5 months I could no longer put up with it crashing !
It’s the top of the range Venga! And I give you my word it is excellent at vac and mop functions.
The soft wear is fantastic and once you get used to the phone app it is so simple to use with a whole host of functions the in my opinion leave the competition for dust “
Bought this as a Christmas present, really impressed so far. Simple to set up and use, picks up fine dust and dirt I hadn’t even seen on the floors. Slim enough to fit under our sofas. Remote is simple enough for my 6 year old to use.
Got this beauty few days ago and would like to say is the best i have seen. The suction power and the mapping is incredible and very accurate on this bad boy. Cleans and mops as should in every gear, no knock or bangs. Does it job for quite a long period of time without complaining of back pain or saying he ain’t in the mood for this s**t. Buy without problems, worth every penny. Very good mpg, pulls like a rocket in every gear..
It’s a brilliant mop. I was shocked at just how good it actually cleans the floor. I thought it be just a quick wipe but using it daily now. It does leave it very wet but I could be doing something wrong and going to troubleshoot it.
I really love my cleaner, it’s perfect for me as I am disabled and have a struggle with an ordinary cleaner. It facinates me, the way it just goes about the house and get’s on with it. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you.
Does both vacuuming and mopping in one. No additional attachments to buy, all supplied with it. Got it for a really good price. Does everything well and we are really happy with it’s performance.
We already had a vacuum robot which we use very day but we wanted a mop robot too.
We have hard floors throughout the ground floor and we have 2large dogs who shed a lot of hair and bring a lot of dirt into the house. This robot vacuum is very good at cleaning all the hairs and dust. The mop is ok at keeping on top of the dirt but isn’t as good as a hand mop. It does clean dirt (the mop pad gets v dirty) but it won’t clean a dried coffee stain for example.
I’ve never had an expensive robot cleaner but this seem to do the trick and is great value.
My Venga vacuum is set up to turn on and clean early in the morning. Love waking up to a clean floor. The mopping feature is great too, although it doesn’t let out much water. I’m very pleased nonetheless.
My whole life has been improved! This little machine vacuums and washes beautifully.
It is well made and clever machine.
The dog isn’t too keen, but all my friends have bought. Life is good with “Ralph”
Love it when I go out and when I come back the floor is washed.
I would recommend buying one of these.
I cannot fault this. It’s brilliant. Does a fantastic job of both vacuuming & mopping.
Was looking at more expensive models but went with this one because of the reviews. I cannot honestly see what more it can do better. I cannot find a single negative.
With a dog the robot works hard to pick up after him
So our “wee Timmy” arrived into our lives a couple of weeks ago .and, he is very much a member of the household!!!
With 4 dogs, 2 kids and an animal Santuary in our garden, are floors are ALWAYS needing vacuumed
“Wee Timmy” has CHANGED MY LIFE no longer am I stressing to constantly vacuum the floors 2/3 times a day, “wee Timmy” has that chore covered!!!!
—he does miss little areas in certain parts of the house, I just stick him where I need him most (if he’s already done the house & has missed little areas), and I restrict him to that area (by closing doors or blocking him escaping the area and he vacuum’s amazingly!!!!! “Wee Timmy” is switched on 2/3 times a day for my downstairs, and we have quite a large house and he manages it all!!!!
However. “Wee Timmy’s” mopping skills aren’t just as good— but I can live with that. This machines mopping may be good for those in a house with less animals/madness. My floors (when I mop them) require a good rigorous scrub, so, I’m not gonna fault it over the mopping! His vacuuming skills satisfy me enough— like I said before— he has changed my life in that department
He’s my first AI vacuum, I had been thinking about buying one for a looooooong time, and I am SO GLAD I did!!!!
Little Venga is a great vacuum, just don’t forget to empty it’s bin (and dust it’s filter- I tend to do this once a day).
Very happy custome
Nothing to dislike yet. It does what it says on the box
Has changed my life! I’m no longer digging out the hoover every 5 mins or spending weekends mopping. I have a toddler and a cat, so my floors were always covered in some kind of mess but not any more. I wish I had bought this sooner and will get myself another one for upstairs when I have the cash. Brilliant buy!
It does what I don’t and makes a good job of it.
I love this little machine. Does exactly what it is supposed to do and then plugs itself back in. We have 2 dogs so it’s important that a vacuum cleaner can cope with the doggy hair but this little wonder manages it all very well. Have to empty it after each use but that’s no problem. Suction power is surprisingly good and I haven’t had to use the max button so far. Very easy too to take out the roller for cleaning.
Best purchase I’ve made in a long time. My carpets are quite thick pile and I was worried this might be a problem but it whizzes over it and it’s amazing how much it collects! It runs for about an hour before running out of battery and returning to base. It’s not very methodical in the route it takes so I tend to just let it do one room at a time. That way I know that room has been done properly before I let it recharge and do the next. It seems to do the edges of the room quite well too. As per other reviews I’m less impressed with the mop function but ok to give hard floors a wipe over but does leave them quite wet.
This little robotic hoover is amazing. We have predominantly tiled and laminate floors with rugs and two dogs and two cats. Pet hairs were a nightmare. No longer. It travels onto rugs providing they are not too high and don’t move at the edges. It goes up small lip from dining room to lounge without issue and it goes under my sofas without problem. It takes itself home when it needs charging. Probably needs emptying after each use. Would highly recommend. I haven’t used it as a mop yet as I have a steamer but as a hoover it’s brilliant 5
Great value for money. I wish I had bought it before!
We have had Arsene for a few weeks now and it works pretty well to be honest, in fact I would say it cleans everything in its path perfectly. It doesn’t always go in the direction you want and it usually gets hung up on a wire somewhere, but no doubt with a bit of room tuning it would be perfect. Highly recommended.
I love that it just keeps on top of the vacuuming. Floors have never looked cleaner.
I paid just over 105 for my Venga and it came from Amazon warehouse (it arrived minus cleaning cloths) but a quick call solved that problem.
Setting up my new toy was easy, put the dock down and place Venga on top after switching the unit on underneath, you then start charging. Obviously read the manual and attach all the small bits like brushes and filters first though.
We used the remote to schedule a start time for the vacuum and it came alive on the dot and started zooming about the floor. I was surprised at the amount it actually picks up and I had some amount of bits on my floor due to my house move and the 281 boxes and bags that had languished in my front room for a week or more whilst unpacking was ongoing. It picked up fluff, hairs, small wood chips, polystyrene balls, plastic bits, a couple of tiny stones and other assorted detritus.
The only problem it does face is the new rugs are slightly curled on the ends from being rolled up and it won’t go over the top of these, it just gets there and reverses, although on a flat section it quite happily goes from wooden floor to short pile rug with ease. The unit even goes in a complete circle around the legs on my sofa and potters off underneath the sofa cleaning away.
We did face one problem with the first use in that the filters collected dust very quickly and the Venga kept stopping, this was solved by unclipping the dirt trap and pulling the fine fluff off of the filters and then restarting the unit. It’s now ran for 3 or 4 hours with no other problems.
It is a home help though and is not going to replace your traditional vacuum cleaner, I estimate a once a week clean of corners, skirting and hard to reach areas, with the trad vacuum, is sufficient though to keep things looking nice and stop cobwebs etc..
It runs rounds randomly and if you leave the doors open, it will find its way between rooms and can get over raised threshold bars and from the hard floor onto rugs with ease. The suction on this little machine is so impressive, picks up anything in its path and dumps it in the small container inside. Has extremely good edge detection, has not fallen down my staircases at all, avoids anything in its way. It does well get into corners as it has two brushes that sweep dust etc toward the suction area. I can now do my cleaning and dusting whilst the hoovering is taken care of so by the time it’s finished it’s run all I have to do is mop the hard floors. Easy to empty and just generally a clever piece of kit. The noise level is pretty quiet, not offensive on the ears and is easily ignored when watching TV. Be aware though that these brushes are consumable items so will need replaced every 2-3 months. Simple to use and when it needs charging, it goes to the docking station to charge up for the next use, hands free. The cost of this is a great price, not too expensive and a lot cheaper than a lot of other brands that do the same thing. I am thrilled it comes with a remote control also to control it and has various functions.
I highly recommend this to anyone who is considering buying a new vacuum.
Best money I’ve ever spent only downside I can’t control it from alexa
It’s easy to use and really helpful and useful, worth it.
The Vac is great, pick ups well and mops great. Its saved us hours of time where we used to vac daily. I would recommend it. There are a few quirks, occasionally is moves around the edges its continually trying to turn in to the wall. See video.
I cant find the manufacturer or customer service to raise this so this I find quite frustrating.
Love this little robot hoover! You do need to ensure wires & mobile phone charging cables etc are moved from the floor as it will suck them up. Don’t place on deep pile rugs either as it gets stuck. The mop function is pretty basic but helps keep the floors spot free in between proper mopping sessions. Remember to empty after each use and check for entwined hair around the brushes and all will be well :o)
I’ve given this 5 stars for thickness, as it’s clearly think as a post, but I also love this things attitude. So diligent and hard working, gets in all the cracks and works flat out until he’s physically exhausted. No tea breaks, no complaining, no wage.
If your thinking about it- buy it!
Love this Venga 3 in 1 cleaner. So easy to use. It Lifted all the dog hairs I was amazed. The washer facility finished the job, floor clean. You can also sit back and use the remote to direct it to a particular spot. Takes itself back to the charge when it finishes.
This has taken all the hassle out of hoovering and mopping. Am delighted with it. But you MUST empty and clean it after each use and dry and brush mop part properly. Cleaning the roller is fiddly but necessary or it wont work as well next clean.
My new bestfriend If yous have more inventions, I’ll be happy to try
I could write an Epistle on this product, but I’d only be wasting your time and mine. All I need say is BUY IT, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE, WORDS CAN’T DO IT JUSTICE. To add icing to the cake, it found a beautiful brooch that my wife had lost some time ago, plus a 5 Euro Note!!!
I bought this machine in January 2021 by this time August the machine just stopped working, it doesn’t turn on. I’ve used it at once a month atleast as it doesn’t do the job right.. I have to vacuum with ordianally vacuum first and this I would let it do its rounds.. But a bit hard work to use on carpets, best use on hardwood floors or ceramic
I bought this for my mother after her hoover broke. It was intended to reduce the work a little but has become the primary hoover, this thing picks up way more than she expected and has reduced the housework to such a degree she only needs to hoover up once in a while (behind furniture).
The mop function works great, just add a little detergent and it does a decent clean, just get one and you won’t regret it.
Honestly, with two dogs and two small children it sometimes feels impossible to keep on top of housework. If you’re a dog owner you’ll know how quickly hair can build up, and who has time to vacuum every day. Day one of use has already been satisfyingly life-saving as I can set off before anyone else is awake or while I’m occupied with feeding. Only problem per se is that the remote control doesn’t seem to work properly, and that I wish it were thinner so it could get under the sofa, but neither of those things is the end of the world.
It is fascinating to watch and so clever how it finds it way back to its base, Not sure how long it’s suppose to go for, but it does go for ages my floors are all laminate and gets around them all. Think the floor cleaning is OK but don’t really think for me that’s worth bothering with. We love it, generally I wouldn’t purchase something like this but my son has one and he recommended it. The one problem we are finding, we cannot seem to get replacement filters
Very quiet and powerful, does a good job of cleaning but has some annoying problems.. there is no option for individual days, its manual or every day.. and it avoids walls and doors ok but furniture with a gap slightly smaller than itself “confuses” it and it is constantly wasting time and battery power trying to extricate itself when it jams itself under them. Would still recommend it though.. superb bit of kit for the price..good vfm
Great value for 2 in 1 machine (hovering & mopping)
Performance is 90%, don’t expect it to clean 100% but the result satisfactory.
Sometimes it hovers & mops the same exact spot & leave another one untouched
NOT QUIET AT ALL, when I start it in another room & close 2 DOORS between me & the vacuum, the sound is very loud & annoying to a point sometimes I have to switch it off, & start it before I leave the house.
We are loving everything about this product. The Hoover is easy to set up. Works seamlessly and efficiently. If you have pet hair floaters this is the robot vac for you. It even went under the sofa which surprised us both. Our sofa has 3 inch legs so its useful.
Its quiet enough too.
I was rather surprised by how efficient the robot was and how much rubbish it sucked up.
The remote control looked a bit complicated and I kept having to look up the programs.
I have set it to come in at 6pm which it does every time, it goes all around the kitchen and living room and manages to hump the leg of the Christmas tree until it gets stuck.
Easy to clean and starts beeping when it’s stuck or it needs a clean and when the battery is running low, it takes itself off back to the base.
Also good at hatching eggs on Pokemon go if you leave your phone on it while it’s doing it’s business.
I’ve not used the mop function so I can’t comment on that.
Highly recommended for the price.
This machine is the best thing we bought for long time. It does really well its job. Easy to use the remote. Easy to clean and only twice a month or even less need to use the normal vacuum cleaner as it cleans amazingly. Better to use only for one room at a time did not let it go around the floor as that can be slower and not that accurate. For smaller places the machine does a quicker and more profound job.
I can greatly recommend it!
It has a plastic tray underneath which collects all the dirt/dust which can be emptied easily at the touch of a button.
This vacuum also comes with a separate ‘mop’ attachment which is easy and simple to use.
We love the ‘Venga Bot’ robot vacuum as it does an amazing job of sweeping our floors, whilst the kids think it’s fun and sing “the VengaBot is coming” every time it’s whizzing around. Win win.
We haven’t found any negatives yet (we’ve had it about 2 months now).
I love this product, most days I use it to do a quick sweep of my wooden floors. I works well and picks up lots of dust and hair. It seems to “trip” over the rug, so I have to remove it each time, aside from that it works perfectly well. I have not yet used it in wash mode, I prefer to use mop and bucket to wash the floors.
As to spares you do get a set with the unit when it is delivered (2 x sets in total/brushes and cloths). I wasn’t able to locate spares from the manufacturer but did find some on Amazon that look fit for purpose https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LH2FVH7/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3EYULMGLRR6R8
I have hard floors, carpet and rugs. I also have two cats (through the summer their hair gets everywhere), a regular dog visitor and a child who is practiced in creating crumbs and things. Prior to buying this product I spend a lot of time mopping, hovering and sweeping the hard way….. but I can honestly say that I set this off and it does the work for me, while I go and clean elsewhere. It’s like going from hand washing to washing machine.
It gets under cupboards, sofas, bookshelves and beds, it picks up the hair and the crumbs and actually does what it says on the tin, quietly. Sometimes small toys get stuck in it (ie lego bricks, dolls head) but it sounds an alarm beep and they’re really easy to remove but the lesson is not to have those things under the sofa in the first place.
I feel the machine is pretty well made, easy to use and robust, I think it’s German. I bought the extra mop cloth set, with additional attachments and the accidental insurance. I wouldn’t not have a robot hoover again. I still need to do the stairs myself and sometimes right in the crevices of the skirting boards but the robot hoover does 95% of everything else. The mop is ok. The floors look clean though on a particularly wet and muddy days I change the mop cloth more often, it’s not an issue as it’s simple to remove and they are machine washable.
The instruction booklet is ok though I think it should recommend how to clean the water tank, because the holes that put water onto the cloth are tiny and in hard water areas can quickly get clogged. So I think it needs to be descaled every now and again as with any water holding appliance.
I put essential oils on the mop cloth (dependent on room – peppermint or lavender for instance) or put anti-bac floor cleaner in a spray bottle and spritz the hard floor I want it to mop. I started initially putting cleaning products in the tank, but I stopped this as I think it contributes to the clogging then I realised the hard water can do this too if you don’t descale the tank or use distilled water. I have put white vinegar in it too which has been know for centuries as a non-toxic descaler and cleaner.
If you only want a hoover then there are other cheaper products on the market that do the trick. This is a good mop/hoover combo that I recommend to anyone who will listen!
Also it leaves track marks on my carpet, which is a nice thing to wake up to in the morning, as I set it to hoover overnigh
It’s very convenient! Easy to clean and operate. Has different modes which are very useful and works well on corners too!
We’ve got a lot of floor space downstairs with multiple obstacles, which it almost always conquered! If it can’t climb an obstacle, it will try again and again or will go back to find another way (which it always did).
The hoover function works really well, but I wouldn’t say it works better than a human, I think a human could get the job done quicker and pick up more stuff. So we’ll be using it every day as we have 3 dogs and walk in our shoes downstairs, but we’ll still be using our Dyson every week for a more thorough clean. It did pick up a lot of dust, and one of the advantages of it is being able to go under the sofa.
The mopping function is very nice as well, we have linoleum in one of the rooms and it’s just perfect for it. It won’t clean the room like you would with an actual mop, as it doesn’t change the water, but it will make it look and feel fresher. However with tougher stains, like wet dog food, it’s not 100% efficient, even if you use the stain remover function. I’d say it cleans about 90% of all the crap and makes the floor look clean and fresh, but if you’d like it spotless, you have to wash it yourself.
We don’t really miss the app for the phone, the remote is more than sufficient. You can set it to start automatically at some point in time, but in order to switch from hoovering to mopping, you’d have to physically switch containers (which is a 1 min job).
Overall, we are very happy and will be keeping this item, as it will make the house look tidier throughout the week without much work involved.
The descriptions in the Amazon page is accurate. Here I will discuss what I like/disliked about this robot and may not necessarily describe all it’s options.
I have had 3 robot vacuums before this. By far the Venga robot vacuum is the best. This vacuum was designed in Belgium and made in China. It’s a premium quality price of technology.
The vacuum function is superb and powerful. It does a great job on laminet/wood floor and also Carpet. The best part is that it collects and vacuums hair like no other vaccum I have had!
The mop function is also really good. It has a large capacity water container (300 ml). It is enough to mop 30 square meters without refiling. After moping I changed the microfiber towel and set it to mop again to dry the floor. This actually makes the floor shiny.
Battery capacity is also great. One charge is enough to do a complete vacuum, liquid mop and finish with dry mop for a 25-30 square meters space.
Noise level during vacuum is surprisingly low! Much much lower than all of the previous robot vacuums I had. If you put it in Max then the noise level will increase because the motor is taking more power!
In conclusion, this is an excellent robot vacuum and mop. A premium machine. It’s worth it price! I highly recommend it.
I did lots of research into robot mop/hoovers before purchasing and this one seemed to have brilliant reviews and be very reasonably priced so we decided to give it a go and I couldn’t be happier!
The hoover function is really good and the front rotating brushes makes sure it collects everything as it goes. It seems to collect lots of dust and then I just clean the filters each time, which is really easy to do.
I bought it really for the mop function. I have a baby about to crawl and our downstairs is all open plan and Amtico floors. I’d read you shouldn’t steam mop Amtico as it can damage the glue so I was using a spray mop which took forever. If your looking for a mop that really scrubs away at stains then this isn’t for you, however if your looking for something to wipe all your floors down so they are clean and not dusty, this is for you. I spray Zoflora on the floors first and then set up the robot to do it’s thing when I go to bed. When I get up in the morning it’s always back in it’s dock. The microfibre cloth goes in the washing machine after use and then it’s ready for its next time.
The Venga comes with lots of spare parts which again I thought was really good.
Yes you have to go round rooms and move anything it might not detect and could run over/get stuck under, but once you’ve worked out what these are in your home, it’s much easier to move these than mop/hoover everywhere!
I would highly recommend this produc
Excellent Hoover, I’ve had for a year and it has been a blessing
It probably won’t replace your main vacuum which you’ll need to get in awkward places and for a stronger suction deep clean, but for normal routine cleaning this thing is superb. The evidence is in the collector bin after its been in operation! I don’t understand all of the icons on the remote control (I haven’t bothered learning them) and you do have to make sure you’ve got rid of cables, string, etc but those are minor problems. It’s just so fantastic to put the thing into motion and then get on with something else for 30-60 minutes and then – magically the vacuuming has been done. Climbs up onto nearly inch high rugs, no problem. Fantastic.
But… out of stock and no restock date? Oops, I’d just come back here to buy another (as a gift) and have had to get a different make. Shame, I would have bought another of these Vengas tonight if they’d been available.
This is my second robot vacuum cleaner. It does the job completely how it supposed to do. It cleans and the you swap the inside part and it wipes the floor. Don’t expect deep washing of the floor, it’s more like wiping the dust off, but I am still happy. It’s a bit noisy comparing to my old one, but it’s still ok. Also like how it looks, always wanted a white one. So I would say it would recommend it.
This robot hoover is absolutely brilliant. It is also amazing value for money.
The Venga robot hoover arrived quickly and was easy to set up. The remote control allows for a variety of programmes to be selected at the touch of a button. Once running it is quiet and does a fabulous job of cleaning the hard floors and regular carpets in our home. Long shaggy carpets and rugs may cause a problem. If you have lots of these, simply use a normal vacuum. Sorry. Boring.
Back to the best bits. The Venga picks up so much muck, I was shocked how non-clean our bungalow was. We use the Venga almost everyday and the floors are always clean. The mopping operation works well too. Tip; add 5ml of cleaning fluid to the water tank.
Just buy one of these little machines. They are brilliant. They are so entertaining too.
Every home should have one. We’ve never been cleaner!
However, I was pleasantly surprised and please with my purchase.
I have a short hair, heavily malting dog, and was sweeping my wooden floors 2/3 times a day. I now no longer do this. I let R2 (my 11 year old named it) do all the work for me. I just have to regularly empty it.
So the positives.
It does exactly what you’d expect it to do… Hoover up hair and dust.
The hoover was very easy to put together, turn on and get going.
Transition from wooden floor to carpeted floor is seamless. It has to go over the carpet a few times to pick up all the hair and fluff… It does it on its own though, so no harm done.
Negatives
They are very slight negatives. But it would have been great if it was alexa enabled.
The scheduling is a bit light. I’d have liked the opportunity to set multiple start times a day, unfortunately you can only program this with one start time.
Overall
I really like this product, and for the price of some others you can get 3/4 or even 5 of these. The price is amazing and the product is not far off matching. I hope that Venga carry on developing reasonably priced robot hoovers as I will buy the next model when it comes out.
At first use it seems like it is very repetitive, but it does work it’s way around the room, and we have used both the standard and the MAX suck, both being effective. We clear the loose chairs, and dangling charging cables etc, and let him go. When you come back the floors are dust free and looking good. If the charge runs out then he just goes home. We have also worked out there are a few spots he can get stuck – door track or tight corners. So we have put a table in the way there.
The mop feature does not replace the need to do some deep cleaning mopping, or spot cleaning, but it is effective. It’s like it just drags a wet towel behind it, but do it often enough and it cleans and disinfects.
We used it on the upstairs rooms on thick carpet, and it was really effective, although I think the dyson handheld is still the king there.
Don’t hesitate to buy – for the money you won’t get better!!!
UPDATE: mine cannot work in direct sunlight. It sees it as an obstacle. So if the sun is out, it can’t clean that part of the room! Slight issue, but not a tear round problem in Northern England. I’ll contact and see what they say!!
Easy to set up, works well without supervision and it also maps the work area.
The vacuum itself arrived promptly and is well packaged. I panicked at first glance thinking I’d have to build it but all you really need to do is put the brushes on. They just snap on. It comes with a charging unit, a remote control (which you can store in the charging unit), a water tank, extra brushes and extra filters.
The vacuum is really simple to set up and the remote control functions are easy to understand. There are several modes inc auto (cleans your whole house and will even go back to charge itself if it runs out before the end of cleaning then will get back to finishing the job at hand), edges only, spot area (if you spill something in one area), single room mode and mop mode. Yep, it even comes with a water tank and a cloth so you fill the tank, attach the cloth and it’ll mop your floor too. Use the water tank empty if you just want it to polish your floor.
You can set a schedule so that it will vacuum at a certain time each day — great if you are out the house and want it tidy on your return.
The motor is quiet, the sensors are good and even my skittish cat seems to tolerate it. It is easy to empty. The waste tank isn’t very big but this shouldn’t be an issue if you are vacuuming regularly. Or you can just empty it per room like I do. The brushes are great and really pick up loose hair. Again, if you notice it not picking up too well then check and clean these (dead easy to pop out and clean). I have long hair and my cat is long haired and this does a great job of collecting it all up even though our carpet pile is fairly deep.
You might need to do some prep work on your home before you set it off unsupervised on auto — it doesn’t like trailing cables so make sure they’re tucked away. Mine got wedged under the armchair on the first try but I’d stopped it from being able to get too far under there now so its no longer an issue.
All in all, very happy with this purchase — the future is here!
Really excellent little tool. Very easy to use and to program. Scares the wotsit out of the dogs but they’ll get used to it. Certainly gets me out of doing the vacuuming which has to be a good thing.
The one criticism is why have a max power button? Why not just have it at that all the time?
I bought this for the wife who said she would not like it even before it came now 5 days after having it she loves it, she’s. amazed with it, she only has it downstairs on hardwood flooring but she can’t believe how good it is for the money. It’s that good my daughters seen it and order one for herself. Recommend it 100%.
