The good: The features are great and it did a wonderful job cleaning. I also really enjoyed that I could drive it around the house from the app and spy on my kids.
What isnt good: It doest know how tall it is. My coffee table is about an 1/8th of inch lower than the robot and this thing without fail would wedge itself under it getting stuck. Also it often gets stuck in shadows... Yes shadows. It does a great job at not running head on into walls but it also doesnt know how big its rearend is because itll drag that all down your walls when its turning around.
The worst: 12 runs of the vacuum and the brushes stopped working. They are cleaned after every use yet the device still says that there is something stuck in them. The vacuum is unusable and finding relevant information anywhere to remedy the issue is almost impossible.
Overall this thing is garbage. It is the most expensive and most useless vacuum and service on LGs part I have ever had the displeasure of owning. Thanks LG for the thousand dollar vacuum that cleaned my floor 12 times. 12.
I tried to be brand loyal because I loved some of your other products but this is terrible. Im going to phase out my LG stuff.

Like the speed and the cleaning in the corners and the washable filter. Would like to see replacement partsother than the filter available for purchase if needed. Would also like to see a programmable schedule where you can set for different days of the week rather than doing it each day. Would also like to see a report that appears on the phone that it is stuck with an alert.

Does a great job of filling the bin but gets hung up quite often because it is violent when it approaches obstacles. Biggest problem is finding parts even LG parts does not have the replacement brushes. You will go through the brushes pretty quickly.

Very easy to use. I charged it up and signed it into my wifi set it run everyday at 2 and when I get home its done. I love the cleaning diary on the app it actually draws out the layout of your house and when you press play it shows the Bot moving around your house on the screen of where it went. Very impressed Moved up from my beloved 6 year old Roomba.

Best-in-class smart vacuum cleaner + a home-guard

4/25/2018
I saw a demo LG HOM-BOT robotic smart vacuum cleaner at a store and cant wait to take it home. It does a great job at not only smartly cleaning the house but provides great features to control it via a remote controller at home and even controlling it via a cell phone while on the go.
The best thing about LG Hom-Bot smart vacuum cleaner is its edge over competition of having a very practical feature of remotely guarding the home and seeing live activities taking place at home while you are away all that just by tapping the innovative LG app on your smartphone. Isnt simply amazing and its best of innovative vacuum cleaner in market at present.
The only disappointing part it I couldnt find one in stores in my area which I could take home. Has been waiting long for availability.

Pleased with my first vacuum robot home guard feature is a very nice bonus. Product vacuum and cleaning functions are easy to use. Wi-Fi feature seems to be more problematic than it should be. I struggled mightily to register the product so that smart functions can be utilized. I dont think my home network is outside the norm...and yet cant get the Hom-Bot to work. My workaround is to use my family members mobile phone shes home most of the day everyday to provide hotspot access to connect register and use the Hom-Bot via my phone while away from home.

Honest 30 Day Review

Ive used this product for eight 2000 square foot runs in a month now and can say its cleaning ability compares favorably to the iRobot Roomba 980 I used for the previous two years. Plus its easier to empty and clean-up its quieter its much faster in zigzag mode it doesnt require lighting in the rooms and it has more useful features. On the down side its twin edge brushes have twice the opportunity to tangle in socks cords etc. and its lower clearance does cause it to occasionally get stuck under one piece of my furniture. In all I think its a great improvement over the previous cleaning bots Ive used.

I have been using Robotic vaccuums daily for over 10 years including various models of several brands. Overall the LG Hom-Bot is by far the best for my needs. It is normally used to clean 2400sq. ft divided into 7 rooms 2 bathrooms 2 hallways and a large carpeted walk in closet. Except for the closet the floors are hardwood and tile with area rugs in every room.
I have been using Cell by cell mode since that does the most thorough cleaning job. In that mode it runs approximately 1.5 hour recharges for 3 hour then runs almost 1.5 hour to finish the job 6 hour total. In zig zag mode it covers the entire area in approximately 1.5 hour without having to recharge. It cleans so well I might start using zig-zag mode to reduce the run time.
PROS: Extremely quiet does not interfere with conversation music or TV. Fast with some other brands two robotic vaccuums were needed to cover the entire house in a single day. Almost always manages to cover the whole house without getting lost or stuck. Does not scuff table legs and wall molding like other robot vaccuums.
CONS: The WIFI smart application is so slow and intermittant to be virtually worthless. The problem with the WIFI might be that I have dsl internet which is somewhat slow. The Robot tends to push items such as light weight chairs and decorative tables around. I have had to apply non-slip pads and pressure sensitive adhesive to some items to keep them in place.
Since it navigates by camera it gets lost if it is run at night in the dark.
Overall it is the best of any I have used.

Fantastic Vacuum
REAL GREEN BERET
8/29/2017
Well first the funeral. I buried my Hoover vacuum today one of several over the last 50 years.
The LG CR5765GD HOM BOT has become my new vacuum of choice The Hom Bot arrived beautifully packed with a full set of instructions. I will not list the complete menu of features the LG possesses. If I did it would not leave space for my honest review drawn from my usage of the vacuum.
After reviewing the instructions and charging the batteries I set the beast loose
As it was searching and learning my apartment my cat attacked it twice. After calming her downthe cat the LG continued its tasks. The cat now sleeps between me and the vacuum in the next room. I guess she thinks she is protecting me.
After awhile the LG sought out its docking port to recharge. I then Installed the app and software on my tremendous LG G6 cell phone. This opened up all sorts of possibilities.
What amazed me was the successful the way the vacuum cleaned around so many possible obstacles in my apartment. In addition I have carpet area rugs and vinyl tile to clean. Thats what the LG did quite successfully.
As a partially disabled Vet the Hoover was always difficult for me to use even falling occasionally.
No falls with the LG except to love watching it flit around cleaning so well.
I havent used many of the advanced features since I am home so often. It has many remote features controlled by my LG Smartphone. The TV cameras keep guard and I can even spy on my cat.
The wifi features work very well and are the mode for part of the communication.
In summing up I am very happy with my LG HOM BOT. I have many LG appliances in my home including the cellphone 3 TVs and many other items. I have learned that LG always offers superior quality value and customer support

I was very skeptical about the efficiency of this robot BUT I was proven wrong. I loved how the robot has a sweeping route already built in. You can also program it to sweep where you want it to go. Works excellently on flat rugs and hardwoods. I have some raised surfaces on rugs and the robot did not do as good a job on these.

Exceeded Our Expectations

I received the Hom-Bot from LG to review and give my honest opinion so here we go.
To start with I was impressed by the simplicity of the product and also the quality as I unpacked it form the box. It was pretty straight forward in the instructions as to what was required for set up and operation. I set it up at the chosen home location and allowed it to charge the first time as I familiarized myself with its options and operation. Once it was charged I wanted to set it up on my WiFi which was initially a challenge because of my security settings. I was able to make adjustments and finally get it connected. I then put it to work for the first run. I watched as the Hom-Bot assessed its surroundings and made its first cleaning run. I was impressed as it negotiated the maze off furniture throw rugs and various other items we have around of living area. I was truly amazed as it navigated around chairs and tables and under furniture to clean places I would not normally clean on a regular basis. I chose the the Zigzag cleaning mode after trying Cell by Cell ar it seemed to be more effective for my particular environment. The first time around it was pretty thorough and returned to the home station to recharge. I was totally amazed at what it managed to pick up and the dust container was full of cat hair. I was really impressed by the way it cleaned around or bird cage as the bird throws out more seed than he eats and again it cleaned that area very well without a hitch. Again it went places I would not normally clean more than once a month or better. I put it through its paces several other times to get the whole area covered as we have a mix of hardwood floors ceramic tile and carpeting. again after each run it would be full of cat hair dust and debris. I will have to say it was pretty thorough. In subsequent runs there was less cat hair as an end result so in my opinion the was a big plus in controlling that we having it do regular scheduled cleaning which we have made a daily schedule for under the Schedule Cleaning mode. This brings me to my next point. The first time we had it do a scheduled cleaning we were not home and it appears that it ran for about and hour before it got trapped underneath and in between the chair legs legs in the dining area and could not extricate itself. It remained there until the battery had died and I had to go find it. It did have a difficult time in the dining area with the oblong table and 6 chairs. On the next run I watched it and have since restricted the access to that area by using the magnetic strips. On another cleaning run again it had wedge itself between the couch and an end table and again stayed until the battery died I have included a photo in my review. The cleaning diary is a fantastic tool that shows you a map of where it cleaned and was interesting to say the least to see all the places it actually has cleaned. To summarize I think it does a great job and I will use it for a daily cleaning run. I will not have it clean unattended unless my environment was less full of nooks and crannies it can become entrapped in. I would highly recommend this keeping up with cleaning the floors and carpets as we have animals that contribute to the mess daily. We have noticed that the floors have been much cleaner over the last week and is a great help to us with our busy life. It exceeded all of our expectations other than what was noted above. Great product with some minor limitations.

HOM-BOT is a vacuuming lifesaver

LG sent me the HOM-BOT in exchange for my honest opinion and review. When I first saw and felt the box it was in it was much larger than I expected. Its roughly 12 inches on each side plus the home station. When I opened the box there were some extra parts available a filter 2 side brushes a pet brush cleaning tools a magnetic strip and the mop plate attachment which is always a huge plus to me. This unit also includes a remote.
Before receiving the HOM-BOT I had selected a space where I thought would be a good spot for the home station to go. That plan changed once I saw the vacuum. It needs 5 feet on each side and 6.5 feet in front of it so it has a clear path to/from the home station. There are so many options on he HOM-BOT that it might take me a while to test all of them. I did notice that the mop setting is only for dry use.
After its first full charge I set it free in my bedroom so I could supervise while it vacuumed for me. I despise cleaning floors so this may be the best invention Ive come across. It has several patterns of how it can clean zigzag grid etc....and it really cleans. I have a dog and every time I open the dust bin Im amazed at how much dirt and hair it has picked up. The instructions warn you but you really do need to move all cords and small items out of the way or it will get hung up on them quickly.
I ran it for a while not a full cycle during my lunch break today and was surprised at how much it picked up so quickly. I also love the fact that I dont have to let it run for a full cycle but I can tell it to go home whenever I want it to stop. Its interesting to watch it search for home and then park itself on the home station to charge.
Im really looking forward to testing more options like the mop pet roller brush and different cleaning patterns. So far so good with the HOM-BOT and I would highly recommend. It cleans well and quickly and I dont have to do it Its probably a little louder than I expected I do have hardwood floors though not carpet but for me just having to push a button or schedule a cleaning it can be as loud as it wants

Great machine

I have had this for about a week and wanted to test it before writing the review. So far it has surpassed all my expectations.
First it arrives well packaged. Unpacking was a breeze. I simply read the quick setup instructions set up the charging station as specified and allowed the machine to charge for approximately two hours. In that time I read the instruction manual.
I downloaded the LG Smart Think app from Google Play Store on my phone. This was also VERY easy. To create an account all you do is enter your email address then confirm it with an email they send you. You then log in and the app walks you through the steps of registering the Home Bot via your phone. It is effortless It walks you through connecting to your home wifi registers the device and sets up everything in about 3 minutes. It even auto-sets the time on the Home Bot. Could not be easier and I was impressed with the ease of this.
After the Home Bot was fully charged I used the remote control included to start cleaning for the first time. I selected the zig-zag cleaning option. It has to learn your area to be cleaned so at first it is kind of slow and bumps into things. I found it best to pick up any runners I had down on hard surfaces. They tended to bunch up when the Home Boot worked over them. The repeat option allows the machine to run continuously until the battery is depleted and goes over the same area twice. I found I did not need this as it cleans the area very well the first pass. I was amazed at the amount of dust it picked up the first time. It goes under furniture where I normally dont clean. under my bed for example. I actually emptied the dust bin twice while it was cleaning the first run. It is able to go into every corner with ease. It also navigates VERY well around table legs furniture doors etc. By the time I ran it a few times it was avoiding those areas with ease and much faster. .
It is surprisingly quiet while operating on hard floor surfaces. I have tile and hard wood and can easily watch TV while the Home Bot operates. It automatically switches to turbo mode on carpets and that increases the sound level noticeable. But that is still MUCH quieter than a normal vacuum cleaner. I would not set it to run while I am sleeping as I think that would wake me in the night.
I did give it a try when I was in my office at work. my office is 10 miles from my house. I turned on the app on my cell phone and it connected via my home wifi very quickly. I selected the clean mode and the app also allows you to view the cameras from the Home Bot as it goes about its work. The video stream is very clear. There is also an option to set the Home Bot in a designated area where it will take pics when it detects motion and send them to your cell phone. I have a small dog so this got annoying anytime she walked into the Home Bots view. But it is a very nice function to have in case you want to know if someone enters your home.
It comes with a roll of magnetic strip to block it from entering area. This is enough to block two doorways. I used it to block the Home Bot from going on the tiled area in front of my fireplace where there are a few objects I dont want to risk damaging. It works very well and you can purchase additional strips if needed. The included tape was adequate for my needs.
The remote control that comes with the unit is also very useful. It allows you to manually drive the Home Bot to clean specific areas. This is handy when you dont want to use your smart phone to open the app. It can be useful for quick cleanups of a small area.
Overall this robot vacuum has really impressed me. I still use my hand held stick vac for small cleanups but not nearly as much as I used to.
This is my first robot vacuum but a friend has another brand which has been out for some time. She commented that my Home Bot not only looks better but has many more functions and appeared to do a better job than hers.
I will do an update to this review if anything changes. But for now I recommend the Home Bot as it is simply amazing for my needs.
