O'Cedar Robotic Floor Cleaner: Product Review

Posted by on

A few weeks ago ALDI had this O'Cedar Robotic Floor Cleaner for $19.99. I have always wanted an iRobot Roomba or Scooba but $600 for Rosie from the Jetson's was never in the budget. I decided to give this a whirl since it was only $20 and I know ALDI has a wonderful satisfaction guarantee. 

1. For entertainment value, this thing is awesome! Our five-year-old likes to let it bump off of him and see what it does and Stella, our Boston Terrier is sure that it came to play. (I think it has a good chance of dying an early death at our house.)

2. For cleaning purposes, this is what I should have expected for $20. It is a bare floor duster with a static cling-type pad that velcros to the bottom. It is great at picking up dog hair and dust. It leaves behind anything that is heavy or sticky. I would say it compares to a Swiffer. 

3. It comes with 3 cleaning pads and I am not sure if you could rinse, dry and reuse. I haven't tried it yet but I fully intend to. O'Cedar sells more of the cleaning pads, but I am really of an anti-disposable mindset, so I will see what I can come up with.

4. It moves in a random pattern and changes directions when it runs into an obstacle. It would fall down stairs if they aren't blocked. I have been happy with is going under couches and tables, which I never get to with my bare floor vacuum. I have been disappointed with how it gets itself stuck in corners behind furniture. 

Overall: I probably wouldn't purchase it again, but it has been a fun little "toy" for the time being.  It does not substitute for actual sweeping and does not handle obstacles all that well. If you lived in a roller skating rink, it would be great!

    Great review - I really liked seeing both the pros and cons, in addition to your final opinion. It's great to know that it picks up all of the little dog hairs - even the ones that somehow get under the couch. But the fact that it gets stuck all of time does sound quite awful. Thanks for the insight!

    The robotic vacuum cleaning world was pioneered by iRobot's Roomba, but there are numerous alternatives for sale these days at prices ranging from $100 to $1,000.
