Average price: 45 000 RUB.
Rating (2021): 4.6

The dark hull and sleek design do not attract attention, but the functionality meets the requirements for dry and wet cleaning. This model not only specifies the migration route, but also, according to the idea of engineers can resume it left off after recharging. Although in practice the latter option suffers forgetfulness that causes complaints from owners of the equipment. Provided for magnetic tape allows you to restrict the work area for the machine. Without recharging duty cycle maximum is 120 minutes. After self-administration at the base of the robot refuels the energy for 180 minutes, but then does not start up, waiting to manually activate them.

In the process of cleaning the floor surface to prevent collision with obstacles the design is equipped with an infrared/ultrasonic sensors, acoustic indication, which inform about the exterior of the housing.

How to choose a robot vacuum?

Before buying a robot vacuum, we recommend to learn the basic features and functionality of this type of technology.

Cleaning area

The first thing you should pay attention to when buying a robot vacuum – operating time from the battery. This figure is important if you are buying equipment for cleaning large areas. For example, many budget models are able to work on a single battery charge for up to 60 minutes. This will be enough to clean a standard 2-bedroom apartment. If you live in a private house with an area of 80 square meters, you should take the vacuum cleaner more expensive, but with a more capacious battery.
How to determine what area can clean cleaner? It's simple. In the technical description always shows the time battery life. For example, it is 60 minutes. Subtract from this the number of 10 and get 50 sq. m. Accordingly, if the operating time is 120 minutes, then the machines will be able to remove without recharging up to 110 sq. m.

Type of cleaning

Robot vacuum cleaners type of cleaning are divided into two main types: models for dry and models for wet cleaning (washing). The model for dry cleaning more compact, simple to operate and cheaper detergent cleaners. Their principle of operation is similar to the operation of a classic manual vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning robots, their design is more complex, bulky, require constant care and are more expensive. However, they not only remove dust and debris, but also moisturize the room. This is an essential feature for people who are allergic to dust. They can be used not only to clean floors, but also clean furniture, tile, window.

Permeability

If you have a house or apartment a lot of rapids and large objects, it will be important and an indicator such as permeability. Modern robots can move in several modes: along the wall, spiral, zigzag. But not all of them can easily overcome the thresholds, and around objects. As a rule, suffer from this cheaper model. The best have a permeability of vacuum cleaner brands iRobot and iClebo.

Battery type

Definitely should pay attention to the type of battery. Most manufacturers of robot vacuum cleaners used NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries. Batteries Ni-Cd and NiMH have a memory effect, and, if you often charge them without waiting for full discharge, the battery capacity will gradually decrease. At the same time, lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion) can be charged even if they are completely discharged.

The more expensive models have this very useful function as an independent entry to the base to recharge. Cheap models can and do step up to the plate, but put in charge they would have still hands. It is not very convenient, especially in large rooms. Besides, we lost the idea of "autonomy of the process of harvesting".

Quiet

An important indicator, especially for families with young children. Relatively quiet modern robots are able to work with audio, not exceeding 50 dB. Do not assume that the more powerful the cleaner, so it is noisier. In most cases, the noise level depends on the particular construction equipment. For example, the vacuum cleaner without dust bag are considered to be more noisy than a model with a bag to collect dust. One of the quietest vacuum cleaners are brand Rydis. Their model Rydis MR6500 when working makes a noise higher than 40 dB.

Waste bins our database

If you want to achieve almost complete automation of the cleaning process, then look at the presence of such "features" as additional waste bins in the base station. Due to its compact size, the robot vacuum cleaner is not able to accommodate a lot of dust and debris, so you have very often to empty it manually. But the presence of additional dust collector in the base will allow the robot to independently unload accumulated debris. Agree, it significantly frees up the hands of the housewife. Will only have to occasionally clean out the dust in the database.

The popularity of the model and the availability of consumables

When buying equipment, pay attention to the popularity of the model. A little-known Chinese vacuum cleaners are much cheaper than well-known and popular brands. Of course, you can save money, but keep in mind that repairing little-known brands are very difficult due to the lack of spare parts and service centers. Moreover, some sellers give very little guarantee, because I know that the technique is unreliable and the warranty repair they do unprofitable.
