Irish Examiner - VR100 Feature - Product Watch

We were very pleased when the lovely folk at the Irish Examiner, one of Ireland's most-read newspapers, gave our trusty VR100 robot a sparkling review.

The team were impressed by the robot's sleek appearance and thought it packed a major punch in terms of performance thanks to its ability to climb over door bars and navigate from carpet to smooth floor without faltering.
