SAMSUNG POWERBOT ROBOT VACUUM IN 360 BY MEL (PRODUCT REVIEW)

Mel puts her new friend SAM to the test. How many challenges can he complete? Find out here!

Okay Samsung Powerbot—wait, that's too long. Because we're friends, I'm going to call you Sam.

Okay Sam, I set up a few challenges for you. First, are you going to knock over this glass of water or this incredibly light toy bowling pin?

We're also going to test out your suction power. I'm going to crumble up this packet of crisps and put it over the edge. Are you going to get all of them?

And can you pick up hard round things like nuts?

Of course, the final challenge: hair—a robot vacuum's worst nightmare. Are you going to leave it alone? Are you going to get all jammed up in it? And if it were attached to a child playing on the floor, will you leave him alone, safe and sound?

Now let's put you to the test. Ready, set, go!

Round one: go get 'em. Good job! And you didn't fall off the edge.

Round two: okay Sam, are you going to knock over this glass of water? Well, you didn't tip it over, so I would say you're pretty safe.

Round three: Sam, I wonder if you can pick up a nut. Okay, you don't seem to like nuts. I see all the nuts still on the floor. Are they a little bit too big for you?

So I can see Sam doesn't really like bath mats. He just sort of pushes it around and tries to worm his way out of it. Eventually, he gets out of the mess.

Round four: okay Sam, here's your bowling pin challenge. Really easy to tip over—are you going to do it? And you completely avoided them, so that's great.

Final round: okay final challenge, Sam. What are you going to do with this hair?

Scared? Oh wow, this whole hair jammed up and you set out a warning sign. So now I know if there's a huge hunk of hair on the floor, you're going to leave it alone.

Good boy. You did really well on the obstacle course. What I do know is: you do not like bath mats, but you do find a way to get yourself out of it. You don't like large objects like nuts and so forth. And you leave hair alone when it's huge clumps on the floor, so I know that when I'm sleeping on the floor taking a nap, I'm completely safe, 'cause you're not going to suck my hair up. So—good job.
