how well it cleans along the wall and around the corners while changing directions , I mean does it leave some small areas uncleaned ?

Yes. A robot vacuum does not replace a regular vacuum completely. What it does do is keep the dust/alergens/hair down between the now vastly sparse regular vacuum jobs. We went from a 2-3 hr vacuum job every 2 weeks to a 1 hr vacuum job ever 3-4 months. THAT has paid for this little guy in a great way! My time and health have both been very positively affected. P.S. He gets stuck under (couch) skirts and manages to close the bathroom door often (locking himself in the bathroom)... so ... teenage boy robot? (yes, a joke!)

On most scuff marks, extra scrubbing is required. It also does not clean the corners too well. Other then that, it is a great, useful and easy mop to use.

Hello.If the area is small (below 40sqf) or not too dirty we do not sweep firstSo far this item is working OK with the dusty areas

Not at all though it does pick up a bit of grime from being handled (not much of an issue - wipes off easily)

I haven't had to. It's still effective. I just clean it about every week or so.

It cleans pretty well. I foot area shows the most e their feet there. I don't think it sticks our though. I love it.

Yes, they do, and because it shifts location ( from the bottom ) it cleans the sides also.

it cleans up very easily, using a non-scratch cleanser such as ajax. i have only had to use that one time. normally i can soak it in water for a while, then all the 'sticky stuff' comes right off. i hope this helps!

I gave up on doing corners and edges. I just started to use the steam Swifter Sweeper and swear that my floors get cleaner and it does do corners and edges. And it is definitely not noisy. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it on walls. It does say it is a multi-surface cleaner. Maybe test it on a small area?

Not at all! I have used it 4 times and still doesn't need to be cleaned. Naturally this will depend on the size of your home and length of use (per hour).

I find that it does perfectly fine in corners. The pad is a solid rectangle and you just have to push the pad into the corner and it seems to get things. I'm very happy with my Bissell Steam Mop!

I probably wash it more than I need to. I do three rooms. I just like it clean each time to start over.

It does corners and edges well, so long as it's in an area where you can bend the handle down to get the head under the toekick. So the only problem I have is a small area between my island and a row of counters., but it even gets there with some side to side maneuvering. It seems to suck up dust from the sides of the head as well as front, so you only need to go into corners once rather than from each direction. However tile's a bit tricky, although that's seems to be due to the nature of tile itself rather than the vacuum. Dust and dirt seems to attach to the grout since it's rough textured, and neither this nor my regular vacuum picks up without using the hose and brush attachment. If you have a professionally done tile floor it may not be a problem, but if you have sunken grout (not level with the sides of the tile, which happens a lot in do-it-yourself tile jobs) this vacuum, or potentially any vacuum, may have a problem. Test with your regular vacuum first--if it will suck from grout without using the hose attachment, it's a good bet this will work as well.

I have never used it on walls but it seems to be non damaging to carpet and upholstery. I have been more concerned with smells rather than it's cleaning ability. The label says it's OK on any surface not affected by water including sealed wood.

The machine has a circular plastic shield that provides a solid barrier between the rotating brushes and a wall. Given that there is a small distance on the inside of the shield - to allow the brushes to turn freely without interference - The brushes will not reach all the way to an outside wall. The machines does, however have a handheld device that will allow you to clean all the way up to the wall. Unfortunately, the hand-held device does not have brushes so it will not provide as deep a cleaning at the wall that the machine will provide up to say 1.0 from the wall.

We have had ours for two years and it cleans well in shallow and deep ends about a foot up on vertical walls, the angle parts don't seem to slow it down or redirect it. We do have to run it a couple cycles as it has never 'learned' our pool well, but it does clean good where it goes.
