Samsung SR8855 NaviBot Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
The iRobot Roomba has reigned supreme in the robot vacuum market for a long time. But recently, many new vaccum robots have been released by very prominent manufacturers. Samsung's attempt to crash the party is the Navibot SR8855 which really brings a new level of 'wow factor' to the competitive robo-vac market.
Under the coffee table, around the couch and through the hallway to the next room - with it's Visionary Mapping System, the NaviBot will chart the most efficient course around your house. Featuring an onboard camera that captures 30 frames per second, it documents your home's layout and memorizes the best possible cleaning path. And the NaviBot always knows exactly where it is, and where it's going. It's even sophisticated enough to pick up precisely where it left off should it need to return to its docking station for a quick recharge. That's because we designed it to be brilliant as well as leave your floors looking brilliant.
Standard Features
- Can move from different surfaces without loss of performance
- 38 intelligent sensors including stair detection
- Auto recharge and resume
- 6 cleaning modes - auto, max, manual, spot, edge, delay, daily schedule
- 90 minutes running time, 120 minutes charging time

Samsung's Virtual Guard™ gives you two convenient options to protect your space. By pressing just one button, you can activate the Virtual Fence that prevents NaviBot from entering areas where you might have valuable furniture, a pets' bed or anything else you want the NaviBot to steer clear of.
Alternatively use the Virtual Guard function to prioritise the cleaning route. Using this feature, you can choose for one area to be fully cleaned before another is started to give you greater control over the robot’s cleaning pattern. .
What's in the Box:
1 Samsung NaviBot SR8855 unit, 1 Remote control, 2 AAA batteries, 1 Charging station, 2 Virtual GuardTM unit, 1 Spare HEPA filter, 2 Replacement side brushes, 1 Replacement main brush, 1 Main brush pet hair cleaner, 1 Instruction manual, 1 Warranty card, 1 Quick guide.
It may look like a pet, but the NaviBot was actually engineered to tackle pet hair. Not to mention dust, dirt, crumbs and other debris. With its innovative power brush and rotating side brushes that don't shy away from difficult pet hair, NaviBot leaves your floor in pristine condition. It also traps and holds up to 0.6L of dust - filtering the finer particles that can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms through a washable HEPA filter. But if you're a pet owner, it's Samsung's patented pet hair care system that will win you over. The NaviBot effortlessly picks hair and fluff up while preventing it from wrapping around the brushes - ensuring its usefulness for many years to come.
Advanced Features
- Automatically returns to its self-charging dock to recharge between cleanings
- NaviBot's high - speed charging means shorter wait times to get back to cleaning. So you're never left with a messy floor. It needs just two hours to charge, which is 33% faster than other robotic vacuum cleaners.
- Equipped with strong wheels,the NaviBot can overcome obstacles of up to 1.5cm, allowing it to traverse carpets and changes in floor surfaces.
- Anti-collision. Protecting your furniture are the vacuum’s infra red anti-collision sensors which detect obstacles. If in edge mode, it will approach an obstacle and stop before impact.
- Anti-fall. Stairs aren’t a problem with the NaviBot. Its multi sensors detect when it’s about to fall and so it immediately stops and quickly shifts into reverse.
- Anti-tangle. If it becomes entangled in wires, the NaviBot will stop and reverse its brush rotation to free itself.

Our Rating:
Upon removing the Samsung NaviBot from its box you can't help but be impressed with its smooth lines and space age design. Look can sometimes be deceiving and this seems to be true in the case of the SR8855! While we found its navigation system to be impressive in making sure it cleans the entire room it's actual cleaning abilities leave a bit to be desired. Ok, fair enough, robotic vacuums are mostly designed for keeping your floors dust free, not actual scrubbing of dirt. If you want one of those, but a Roomba. This little robot still could have a place in your home because it looks amazing and is sufficient as a robot dust remover. You will have to get out your upright vacuum more often but seeing the NaviBot glide sexily through your house is a thing of beauty. A vacuum cleaner for those who put style over substance.
