Adequate, but not great – 3.5 stars,
The vacuum works fairly well, but it is not revolutionary by any means. My wife and I got it set up and put it to work and found that the vacuuming power of the unit is not that great, as we put sawdust on a rug and let the robot loose. The robot started by making random passes at what appeared to be 45-degree angles and didn’t really come back to cover the areas it missed. It just ran off the edge of the rug, then onto the hardwood and down the hall. It turned around at what seemed to be a random distance, came back a little, and then turned and went into another hallway and drove itself off the ledge into the bathroom, never returning to the rug. When I picked it up to put it back on track it told me to “put the robot down!” 😀 It looks like the little fellow doesn’t like to be picked up.
I let the cleaner run around the floor some more and even placed some obstacles for it, such as a pile rug on top of a thinner rug. I can tell you that the cleaner will definitely climb onto a shag/pile rug like you would have in a bathroom without thinking twice. It cleverly avoided making contact with our appliances, but bumped into the cabinets, presumably because of the toe kick recess.
The charging station is nice and the robot returns to it pretty well if you have the setting right. There is a switch that you use to tell it how large an area the robot will be covering. I attempted to place the cleaner on the charger and it didn’t like my positioning, opting instead to back off of the charger, turn around, drive about three feet from the charger, turn back around and very slowly position itself properly on the charger. This gave me confidence that it will always get on the charger at the right spot.
All in all, I like the robot, but I would suggest the Evolution Robotics Mint Automatic Hard Floor Cleaner, 4200 or Mint Plus Automatic Floor Cleaner with Charging Cradle – Model 5200C for hardwood or tile floors. We use those all the time and they work amazingly well. They are only for wood or tile though, so the Moneual is the choice for carpet.
You will need to purchase two D-cell batteries for the guidance/sensor unit, as the batteries are not included. They did include batteries for the remote though.

|Review From A Robotic Vacuum Junkie!!,
Customer Video Review Length:: 5:52 Mins
As some of you may know by now I love Robotic Vacuums so any chance I get to right a review on one I take it. Over the past 7 years I have owned probably over 12 robotic vacuums. Most being Irobot Roombas. I started with the Roomba Red and feel in love since. The Roomba Red performed very well for an early bird on the robotic vacuum market. I have owned almost all models of the Roomba all the way up to the current 670 I own. I also own a Neato XV11 and a LG Hombot. At one time I even had a Canadian Samsung Navibot and loved it until it wore out.
Ok now onto the main star for today the Moneual MR6550 Rydis. Hope you had a chance to view my short video and if it helps anyone then that is great. I received the Rydis about a week ago and was very impressed with the packaging, not cheap, but very well designed and a lot of details were printed on exterior but who really cares about the outside it’s what is side that counts. I quickly unboxed it and noticed two side brushes that must be attached and yes there is a left and right so must pay attention to that. The unit has a main switch on the back much like the LG Homebot does. I noticed quickly that this vacuum relies heavily on the rotating side brushes for its performance. The single main brush is rubber and no bristles so it does not attract and wrap hair around it badly but also does not sweep as well either as a result I feel. When I started it up the first time I thought a jet plane was getting ready to take off. It is not real loud but is very high pitch similar to the Neato XV11 but not as loud.
I noticed the cleaning ability was sufficient but took a long time to clean as well as the Roomba or Neato would. The LG really struggles to run long enough to complete a room. The method that the Rydis uses for its cleaning seems very similar to the second and maybe third generation Irobot Roombas, Hmmm? The wall follow works very well but I found for me that the auto clean with turbo works best for my large house. I have run this probably 6 times to get the house as clean as the Roomba would in two cleanings but must remember my house is 2700 sq ft so it will take some time. The charge time is about an hour and cleaning time has been about 1.5 to 2hrs so that is good. I used the room barrier wall to keep it in the kitchen and dinning area where most of our traffic is and does well when focused in a confined area. It really seems to love going under our dinning table which is odd because all other robotic vacuums seem to avoid it so that is a real plus!!
I choose to empty the Rydis at end of every cleaning and it was always full so I think a larger dust bin would be nice for future models but maybe my house is just dirtier than most because my other robotic vacuums I empty each time too. Another thing I liked but probably would not use is the remote control. It has a good range and very good control over the vacuum for manual guidance. You can also schedule it to clean in one hour or later. Another nice feature I was not aware of is it has voice prompts and also lets you know when the battery is fully charged. One thing that I noticed is lacking but so does roomba is once it has returned to its dock which it does about 50%-60% percent of the time it will not keep cleaning after a recharge so you must tell it to clean again.
As for getting stuck it does very well for the most part of getting out of jambs. It only got stuck once in my bathroom same place as my others do sometimes so no big deal. Now it does like lamp cords and such but so does my Neato and the Rydis will get stuck on cords but makes its way out of its mess.
I do like the appearance of the Rydis over some but hey Its a vacuum and not a piece of wall art. Overall in conclusion I would say that the Roomba still wins the robotic vacuum war and the Neato is right behind it. Following not to far back is this Rydis and I feel that with future improvements this vacuum will be a strong contender. A lower price would for sure make this a good buy. I feel that this robotic vacuum will be best suited in an average size home and will clean well. I would recommend this vacuum. Thanks
Pros: Well built and seems to follow some of Roombas earlier model designs.
Does very well with wall cleaning
Charges quickly at about an hour and last for about 1.5-2hrs
The roller brush does not collect a lot of hair
Not as loud as some on the market. My neato is still the loudest but I have not upgraded it to the pet brush yet either
Does a good job cleaning especially when focused in individual rooms with the virtual wall unit provided
Maintenance is easy similar to the Roomba but not needed as often
Remote control works very well at controlling the vacuum when manual cleaning is desired
Slows down about a foot before reaching an obstacle and most of the time does not bump it
Cons: Does not…
