Robot vacuum cleaner with high suction power. Which robot vacuum cleaner is better to choose: with or without a turbo brush?

Anyone who has once dealt with this device will no longer be able to live without it: modern vacuum cleaners move over hard floors and carpets, go around chair legs and overcome door thresholds. Now a regular vacuum cleaner can be put away in the equipment closet. At least that's what the manufacturers say. Of course, the market is flooded with models that vary greatly in both price and features. What should good robot vacuum cleaners be able to do and which one is best at cleaning?

Robot vacuum cleaners come to us from all over the world. The most famous manufacturer can be called iRobot, a former developer of American robots for military needs. Their round Roomba models became popular as unwitting participants in numerous Internet videos about “cat taxis.” Meanwhile, many Asian manufacturers are bringing their inexpensive copies and their own developments to the European market; These include, for example, the Chinese company Ecovacs Robotics.

In Europe, at least two manufacturers of conventional vacuum cleaners (Vorwerk and Miele) are trying their hand at robotic equipment. Each of the developers pursues their own philosophy. This applies to brush placement, type of navigation and touch technology - there is no simple one-size-fits-all solution. It is all the more important to pay attention to detail, both for you as the buyer and for us when testing.

8 devices from 12,000 to 86,000 rubles

During our test, robots from all price categories went head to head: from the inexpensive (about 12,000 rubles) Dirt Devil Spider 2.0 to the Dyson 360 Eye costing 86,000 rubles. Each device was assigned the same tasks. To do this, we scattered 200 grams of quartz sand in our test room. The robots were asked to extract an additional 20 grams from the corners. During this test, the robots performed the task at full power. In addition, the tested devices had to remove embedded wool fibers from the carpet and overcome an “obstacle course.”

Good vacuum cleaners approach dirt systematically; models with chaotic movement “meet” dirt by chance.

At the same time, we pose everyday challenges to candidates: How high can door thresholds be? How does a robot deal with scattered Lego bricks or pieces of clothing? We tested whether cleaning robots could slide along a cable or knock a laptop off a table. And the last but not least important parameter: will the robot get lost in the “forest” of chair legs or will it easily find a way out of it? Ease of use, along with navigation and suction power, is also one of the important conditions. These also include, for example, a display with clear text or a docking station.

Self-contained cleaners are designed for use in large spaces. Particularly on hard surfaces or short-pile carpets. What they lack in pure suction power due to the lack of power from the outlet, they make up for with consistency. Even inexpensive devices are equipped with a docking station, navigation systems and operating time programming. Thanks to this, the little helper can carry out his daily tasks, freeing the floors from everyday dirt and dust bunnies and thus ensuring their cleanliness.

Each generation is smarter than the previous one

Developers of robotic vacuum cleaners make great strides every year. Expensive models recognize significant dirt and shift into high gear, drive over high obstacles and “eat” entire Lego pieces. Thanks to cameras and a laser system, periodic “surveying” of the house is improved.

The mid- and low-end price ranges also feature top-notch technology: in addition to having standard docking stations, most vacuum cleaners can also negotiate door thresholds up to 1cm high. Cables, once a major obstacle, are now rarely a nuisance. In addition, almost all robots can be pre-programmed. The device only starts working when you leave home.

The most convenient is programming through applications. Using iOS or Android devices, you can remotely turn on (soon a voice control system will be implemented) some models of vacuum cleaners, select a suction mode, or look around at maps of the rooms. However, is the additional cost worth it for a robot with a wireless network module?
Ultimately it depends on your desires. Many users want to program the robot once and forget about it.

The vacuum cleaner has to stop working when someone enters the house, and such fun things as remote control or collecting statistics from a distance quickly lose their appeal. The most practical is probably the ability to send messages to your smartphone. Likewise, you get information when your cleaner gets stuck or the tank needs to be cleaned. For those who want to control the device without using a smartphone, some vacuum cleaners come with a remote control.

What robot vacuum cleaners still lack

Despite significant progress, the path to perfection will take quite a long time. Currently, there are still many obstacles that robot vacuum cleaners cannot yet cope with. Side brushes can only remove light lint from dirty corners. For thick carpets, most vacuum cleaners are too weak; Robotic vacuum cleaners, on the contrary, pull thin carpets into themselves, knocking over everything that stands on them, and long fringes sucked into the vacuum cleaner almost always lead to complete failure. To cope with all these problems, devices must become even more maneuverable and smarter.

This primarily applies to inexpensive robots that can clean the same place in a “forest” of chair legs within 10 minutes. Due to the lack of seals and the rudimentary state of the filtering equipment, the vacuum cleaners are hardly suitable for allergy sufferers - only one of them is equipped with a suction pipe like a regular vacuum cleaner. However, the main problem is still the high cost of good devices.

Test winner

First place in our robot vacuum test goes to a veteran: the Roomba 980 is iRobot's flagship model, and impresses with its navigation skills thanks to a camera on the lid. The “Vice Champion” VR200 overcomes obstacles with equanimity: cables, socks and even Lego bricks cannot damage it. This makes it the most reliable vacuum cleaner among the candidates. Thanks to excellent equipment and a large number of operating modes, one could hardly ask for more in the “Equipment and convenience” category.

With the Roomba 681, iRobot offers the most affordable vacuum cleaner worth recommending. Despite the chaotic navigation without sensors, the robot moves from room to room, looking into every corner. The suction power is also impressive: thanks to the thick brush, the vacuum cleaner “pulls” a large amount of dirt from the carpet pile. But its noise when working on hard floors is simply unbearable.

Still far from ideal

For those who are very careful with money, the Medion MD 16192 model (can be ordered in Western online stores) offers serious cleaning assistance at the best price. Chaotic navigation increases the number of passes, the device has high suction power, offers a large number of functions and costs 15,000 rubles.

Thanks to this testing, one thing becomes clear: the perfect robot vacuum cleaner does not yet exist. Despite a good score regarding the obstacle course, the owner may have to adapt the apartment to the cleaning habits of the home assistant. The more homogeneous the floor, the better the result. However, you cannot completely do without a regular vacuum cleaner for hard-to-reach places.

All models of robotic vacuum cleaners are designed to clean smooth hard floors with varying degrees of efficiency, depending on the technical characteristics and functionality of the device. However, not every device is capable of cleaning carpets, despite manufacturers’ statements. For thorough cleaning of carpets and upholstery, it is advisable to use only a robot vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush, while models without a turbo brush are more suitable for smooth floor coverings. In this article we will look at the best robot vacuum cleaners with and without a turbo brush.

Why do you need a turbo brush?

The turbo brush is a special brush, the design features of which allow you to:

• clean the carpet pile from small debris;
• get rid of dust;
• remove complex, stubborn stains from any surface;
• clean the floor of hair and fur.

Thus, the advantages of robot vacuum cleaners with a turbo brush are:

• effective cleaning of all types of stains (including old ones) of carpets and rugs;
• cleaning the floor from hair and pet hair.

The main disadvantage of robots with a turbo brush is the need to constantly clean it from wound hair and wool. In addition, in some models the turbo brush is not covered with a protective casing, so it can wrap around various objects from the floor (socks, straps, etc.).

The best robot vacuum cleaners with a turbo brush

TOP 10 is represented by the following models:

1. iClebo O5

The leader of our rating is a new robot vacuum cleaner designed only for dry floor cleaning, which has a 1850 mAh lithium-ion battery, an iAdapt 3.0 navigation system, a vSLAM visual orientation system, different operating modes, an AeroForce dust collector, and the ability to . The robot has one side brush, but there are two main brushes, which rotate towards each other. It would be more correct to call them scraper rollers, since there is no pile here. It is important to note that they are not interchangeable, although they are structurally similar: an external silicone elastic cylinder with ribs, which is mounted on a hard plastic axis. The main advantage of such rollers is that there is no need for constant cleaning, since they practically do not wrap hair and fur around themselves. The cost of a vacuum cleaner is quite high - about 60,000 rubles.

According to the manufacturer, the next model in our review combines high suction power, modern navigation algorithms, building a map of the room, the ability to wet wipe the floor and the function of thoroughly cleaning corners. Also in the updated Iclebo Omega, control of the robot vacuum cleaner via a smartphone is available, which was not the case in the previous version. There are two side brushes, the main turbo brush consists of six flexible rubber petals, which are mounted on a small-diameter plastic shaft. The design features of the brush help prevent debris and objects from getting into the bearing cage and drive. The start of sales of this robot vacuum cleaner will not begin until spring, and it will cost from 40 thousand rubles. It is cheaper than Airobot, but if we are talking about the best robot vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush, then the leader of the rating has a better-designed mechanism and is more effective at cleaning floors and carpets.

– a “smart” robot for thoroughly cleaning a room with a sophisticated intelligent navigation system, increased suction power of 2000 Pa, a powerful 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery, a full wet cleaning function and the ability to control from a smartphone. The device has a central brush with a V-shaped bristle structure and a high rotation speed (1350 rpm), which, in combination with a pair of side brushes, allows you to quickly and efficiently remove debris and dirt from any type of floor covering, even from the corners of the room. All brushes have a special design to prevent hair and fur from getting tangled up, as well as to prevent them from getting into the motor. The average price of such a robot is 27,000 rubles, which is significantly lower. However, at the same time, Xiaomi is currently not an official brand in the Russian Federation, so customer service from the manufacturer is not provided, which is a minus.

Another interesting device on our list is the Neato Botvac D7 Connected robot vacuum cleaner, D-shaped for dry and wet cleaning with a powerful motor, the latest navigation system, building a map of the room and the ability to control via a home Wi-Fi network. You can also limit the operating area of ​​the device by setting virtual lines in the application on your smartphone. The device uses a new design feature - SpinFlow cleaning technology, which allows you to use different brushes (combined and silicone) to solve different problems. To assist in longitudinal cleaning (along the perimeter, along objects), one side brush is installed. The cost of a robot vacuum cleaner is about 54,000-65,000 rubles.

– a robot model with a turbo brush from a well-known Korean manufacturer, which serves for high-quality dry cleaning of debris from all types of floors, including effective cleaning of carpets and carpets due to increased suction power and a wide turbo brush. The brush is placed along the entire length of the bottom, due to which the covered cleaning area is increased (the shape of the body is a rectangle with rounded corners at the front). The thin robot cleaner also has modern FullView Sensor 2.0 and Visionary Mapping+ navigation systems, automatic control of suction force depending on the type of floor, and the ability to be remotely controlled via a phone app. Price - 26,000 rubles.

The rating of robotic vacuum cleaners with a turbo brush continues with a new product for 2019 -. This robot vacuum cleaner is the European version of the iLife X800, famous in China, and will appear on the domestic market in the near future. Speaking about the design of the turbo brush, the kit comes with two options: a fluffy brush and a silicone brush, suitable for different types of floor coverings. The model is controlled via a mobile application, builds a map of the room and can do wet cleaning. The cost is about 20 thousand rubles, which is quite acceptable for the population.

Next in our TOP 10 is . This robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a fluffy brush, as well as a module for wet cleaning of premises. Interesting points that I would like to highlight: support for control via a smartphone, a cleaning area of ​​150 square meters, good equipment and a capacious battery (2600 mAh). The average price of a robot in 2019 is 19 thousand rubles.

In eighth place is located. Just like Genio, it is controlled from a smartphone, is capable of cleaning up to 150 square meters of space on a single charge, does dry and wet cleaning, and at the same time has high suction power (30 W). The central brush is structurally inferior to the leaders in the rating, but the price of the model is 40 thousand rubles. Because of this, such a low position in the list of the best, because... more budget models are equipped with the same brush.

The next one who deserves attention is . This robot vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush is one of the few that is equipped with an air ionization module and an ultraviolet lamp. However, this is not all - the device is controlled from your phone and can work for up to two and a half hours on a single charge thanks to the built-in lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 3450 mAh. Among the functions, I would like to additionally highlight wet cleaning, programming by days of the week and 4 operating modes. All this for 35 thousand rubles.

Well, our rating of models with a central brush ends with a new one. This is a robot vacuum cleaner unknown to most of the audience, which is the twin brother of the Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One, which ranks third. The functionality and characteristics are similar, the design and design of the turbo brush has changed slightly. Still, Xiaomi cleans a little better, but the fact is that the price of the 360 ​​S6 is a record 20 thousand rubles (within this value). For that kind of money, choosing a robot vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush, navigation and modern controls is almost impossible.

The best robot vacuum cleaners without a turbo brush

The list is represented by the following models:

1. Philips FC8796 SmartPro Easy

We will provide a brief overview of the characteristics of each TOP 5 participant.

First in the ranking is a robot vacuum cleaner, very unusual in its design and capabilities, for dry and wet cleaning of the floor. The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 3350 mAh, an innovative laser navigation and mapping system for clear and quick orientation in the room and building the optimal route of movement, as well as a high-power inverter motor of the latest generation, providing suction power of 1600 Pa. This means that the device can easily vacuum low-pile carpet. You can control the operation of Wolkinz COSMO from your smartphone. Cost – 45,000 rubles. This is very expensive and not suitable for most of the population, so below we will look at more budget models that do just as good a job cleaning the floor.

Second place rightfully goes to the new one. This model will appear on the market very soon and will cost around 20 thousand rubles. Among the characteristics, I would like to highlight a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh, as well as a large dust container (0.75 l) and a suction power of 22 W, which is an average figure. The robot vacuum cleaner does dry and wet cleaning, is programmed according to the days of the week and is able to work on one charge for up to 120 minutes, which is enough to completely cover an apartment or a spacious house. An excellent option for price and quality.

– a new ultra-thin robot vacuum cleaner (body height is only 6 cm) with the Smart Detection 2 system for selecting the optimal mode for thoroughly cleaning the room. The model has a two-stage system for cleaning debris and dust, which will allow you to clean out accumulated dirt even from under low furniture. The price of the device is within 20,000 rubles.

Next comes a model from the famous brand Clover Clean - for dry and full wet cleaning of all types of floor coverings. Among the features, I would like to highlight the beautiful design, touch buttons, dustproof housing, vertical placement of the garbage container - easy to clean and can be washed with water. By the way, this is one of the models, which indicates the high reliability and good quality of cleaning by the model.

Additionally, it can be noted that there is a voice menu; the robot reports all actions in a female voice in Russian. The vacuum cleaner also disinfects the floor with an ultraviolet lamp during cleaning and performs wet cleaning. And due to the fact that there is no brush, it is perfect for all these qualities for animal owners.

By the way, in 2019 the manufacturer announced the new Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 03 with a replaceable turbo brush (it can be removed and only the suction hole remains). This is a modified model with control via a mobile application and navigation using a gyroscope. Due to the fact that the announcement came out later than the rating, the model did not have time to get into it, but it clearly deserves attention.

– the most budget version of the robot vacuum cleaner of all presented (13,000 rubles). The device is intended exclusively for dry cleaning, and also, like the other models described above, can cope with cleaning all types of floor coverings (including low-pile carpets). The cleaning process is carried out through the work of side brushes and the suction hole. A positive point is the ability to additionally purchase additional components for the device, such as a wet cleaning unit and a virtual wall, then the operation of GUTREND JOY 95 will become even more versatile and effective.

This concludes our review. We hope we were able to help you figure out which robot vacuum cleaner to choose: with or without a turbo brush, and the 2019 rating provided helped you decide on the appropriate model. If you still have questions after reading the material, be sure to ask them in the comments!

Two or three years ago, a robot vacuum cleaner was considered an unnecessary, expensive toy. It's no secret that many people still think this way. On the other hand, more and more people understand real benefits of this small home helper. It can independently do light cleaning, avoid obstacles in the apartment and return to the charging station, and at the same time you can calmly go about your business, be at work or go shopping. Of course, it will not replace full cleaning with a regular vacuum cleaner, but it can be used between large cleanings to maintain cleanliness, which is especially helpful when there are children or shaggy animals at home. Since such devices have become widespread only recently, few people know how to choose a robot vacuum cleaner. We will dwell on this issue and Let's highlight the best robot vacuum cleaners presented at the moment.

A robot vacuum cleaner is a modern and amazingly independent device. How does it work and why doesn't it run into obstacles? There are several brushes for cleaning: one or two main ones pick up large debris, and small side brushes are needed to access hard-to-reach places (corners, baseboards, furniture legs).

The vacuum cleaner moves around the apartment according to a predetermined algorithm, which is set by the software. The movement trajectories are standard: zigzag, diagonal, spiral, perimeter. The change from one algorithm to another is regulated by sensors. For example, a robot vacuum cleaner can meticulously clean the corners of a room, and pay less attention to its center, where there is not much debris. Some models regulate suction strength depending on the cleanliness of the room. The efficiency of cleaning depends on the accuracy of the algorithm, so manufacturers invest a lot of money in improving them.

Operating principle of a robot vacuum cleaner

Robot vacuum cleaner uses standard set of sensors:

More expensive models can be equipped with additional sensors:

The robot vacuum cleaner works using built-in batteries, the capacity of which determines the duration of cleaning. When the charge level drops significantly, the device returns to charging station, which constantly emits an infrared signal, so the vacuum cleaner can easily find it. Some models are equipped wet cleaning function. Most often, a damp cloth is used for these purposes, which is used to wipe the surface.

How to choose a vacuum cleaner for an apartment?

From the principles of operation we move on to the features of choice. In order not to burden the reader with a ton of text, we present main criteria for choosing a robot vacuum cleaner. So, when purchasing you need to consider:

• cleaning area, for which the vacuum cleaner is designed. Each device is designed to clean a certain area, which is indicated in its characteristics. If the required parameter is not found, subtract 10 from the operating time in minutes and get the approximate cleaning area;

  Trajectory of the robot vacuum cleaner

• ability to overcome obstacles. Thresholds, carpets and wires can become a serious obstacle for the robot vacuum cleaner. It is better to choose devices with maximum cross-country ability;
  
• dust container volume. For small apartments where there are no animals, a device with a minimum dust collector volume of about 0.3 liters is suitable, for larger apartments - 0.3-0.5 liters, and for the largest apartments - 1 liter or more;
  
• scheduled cleaning. More expensive models can be configured so that the vacuum cleaner comes out to clean at a certain time on a certain day;
• air filtration. It can be done with a reliable HEPA filter or a simple paper one, but 99% of manufacturers will assure you that it is a HEPA filter that is used. It’s difficult to check, so it’s better to trust big brands;
  
• spring loaded bumper will soften impacts, and together with collision sensors will ensure maximum safety for all interior items and decor in the apartment;
• noise level. If someone will be at home during cleaning, then it is better to give preference to quieter models, otherwise you will have to endure decent noise for an hour or two.

What is usually included in the kit? Each robot vacuum cleaner is usually equipped with a set of accessories. Remote control Almost every model is equipped, but its necessity is doubtful. A motion limiter would be much more useful, or virtual wall. This is a magnetic tape that, if necessary, is limited to a room where there is no need to clean or an area with an aquarium and other fragile objects. The kit may include traffic coordinators, which will make the movement of the vacuum cleaner more accurate. All models are equipped with a charging station, spare brushes and cleaning tools for the vacuum cleaner.

Virtual wall

Some manufacturers supply devices UV disinfection lamp, but it’s of little use. The suction power of a robot vacuum cleaner is low compared to conventional vacuum cleaners. The dust collector is usually cyclone type, when filled, it must be destroyed.

Important! Before purchasing, check whether consumables for the selected model can be purchased on the open market, and whether there are official service centers in the country.

Best Job Vacuum Cleaners

iRobot Roomba 616

American company iRobot was one of the first to produce robotic vacuum cleaners, and now they are considered the best. It's kind of like the iPhone of smartphones. The model range is constantly updated and supplemented with more advanced models. Roomba 616 is not the newest development, but it is perhaps the best robot vacuum cleaner in terms of price and quality ratio from the company’s model range. The device is equipped with a soft bumper, virtual wall type limiters, and builds a movement trajectory due to the presence of height difference and pollution level sensors. For ease of use there is a display.

It does a very good job of cleaning, and satisfied users note that this compact assistant can easily slide under beds, clean corners, and deal with all the trash. The frequency of general cleaning will be significantly reduced. Caring for the device is very simple - just clean the container.

iClebo Pop

iClebo is a relatively young South Korean company that was able to quickly establish itself in the robot vacuum cleaner market. The manufacturer has several successful models, among which iClebo Pop is worth highlighting. This is a compact, cute robot with a lot of useful functions. It can carry out not only traditional dry cleaning, but also damp using a special napkin, it is also possible to perform quick cleaning. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with 20 infrared sensors, which ensures high precision of movement. Side brushes allow you to thoroughly clean the most problematic areas, and due to the soft bumper, possible collisions with objects in the room will not have consequences.

To simplify control, there is a display, a remote control, and touch control. Users note high build quality and precision work: the vacuum cleaner rarely gets tangled, does not “chew curtains”, thoroughly sucks up debris, and copes well with thresholds. This robot would be perfect if it came with a restraining tape. There is no ability to program cleaning here, but by paying about $100-150 extra you can buy iCleboArte with extended functionality.

Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The Chinese company Xiaomi is apparently actively looking for an outlet for its creative energy. Previously specializing only in smartphones, it began producing netbooks, tablets, smart light bulbs, blood pressure monitors, routers, action cameras, and now robot vacuum cleaners. Our rating could not do without the new Robot Vacuum Cleaner. The device is made minimalist, equipped with a soft bumper and system of infrared and ultrasonic sensors, there is also a laser distance sensor. The main feature of the model is capacious battery, so you can clean the whole house at one time.

Among the additional functions we note calculation of cleaning time and the ability to connect an electric brush, as well as the possibility control usingWi– Fiand thanks to a special application– you can turn it on on the way home, for example. Due to the presence of several sensor systems, the vacuum cleaner moves around the apartment very precisely, it seems that the device has a brain, and you can watch the construction of a cleaning map on your smartphone. Vacuum cleaner copes well with fairly high obstacles, cleans perfectly. Among the disadvantages is the control program in Chinese, but no serious difficulties will arise due to the intuitive menu. There is an unofficial Russian version.

iRobot Roomba 980

For that kind of money, a vacuum cleaner should cope with its duties 100%. This is true. Before us best robot vacuum cleaner, or at least one of these. It uses an excellent set of brushes, a modern HEPA filter, several cleaning modes: in addition to normal cleaning, you can run local cleaning, high-power or low-power cleaning. The main advantages of the model are: Possibility of programming by days of the week and presence of a timer, so you can set the settings once, and the robot will go out for cleaning as scheduled. In addition, you can control it ByWi– Fiusing a special application.

For orientation in space, the vacuum cleaner uses bottom and ceiling video camera, infrared proximity and height sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope, included virtual wall, the vacuum cleaner can build a map of the room. Among the features of the model, we note the presence of a soft bumper, rubberized and spring-loaded wheels and the latest Carpet Boost carpet cleaning system. Well, about the quality of cleaning. The device copes with this task at the highest level, picks up all the garbage, and vigorously vacuums the more contaminated places. The only negative is the price.

Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 01

Excellent robot in terms of price and quality ratio, will be able to free its owner not only from regular independent vacuuming, but also from wet cleaning. It moves around the room thanks to infrared sensors; due to the soft bumper, possible collisions will be avoided without serious consequences. This tiny assistant has as much 6 cleaning modes, therefore, in addition to the standard one, you can start local cleaning or take advantage of the opportunity to program the time the device is turned on, and select the days and hours when the robot will turn on.

This model has a sound signal when stuck and when the battery is low. Additional features include a built-in UV lamp. The exhaust air is well filtered. The device copes very well with dry and wet cleaning. Among the disadvantages are the excessive volume of sound signals, the lack of a virtual wall and the need to select cleaning options only from the remote control.

Panda X600 Pet Series

A functional and inexpensive robot vacuum cleaner that can be called people's choice, since the popularity of this model in the domestic market is very high. There is everything you need and nothing unnecessary. Due to the presence of 15 optical sensors and virtual wall the robot will move quite accurately around the room and not go where it shouldn’t. The device is compact, attractive, equipped with a soft bumper, and has the ability program cleaning by day of the week, which is surprising for a model with such a price. In terms of cleaning efficiency, it is slightly inferior to more expensive models, but the reviews from the owners are positive and satisfied.

Clever & Clean 002 M-Series

The lightest and cheapest robot vacuum cleaner in our review. The model will fit perfectly for owners of small apartments, since it takes up little space, and it won’t remove more than 30 m2 at a time. It does not have its own charging station; it will have to be charged, like a smartphone, from an outlet. The baby copes surprisingly well with all kinds of debris, but obstacles above 5 mm will become difficult for him to overcome.

Polaris PVCR 0225D

Before us one of the best robot vacuum cleaners in terms of price and quality ratio. For a very affordable price from a well-known manufacturer, the user receives an indispensable home assistant, with which you can really forget about traditional manual cleaning. The device can clean a fairly large room at a time, navigates it using infrared sensors, and has a soft bumper to increase safety. The robot is equipped filtersHEPA 12 , so that the exhaust air is clean. The model can program cleaning by day of the week, equipped with a backlit display. Problems may arise with crossing wires and carpets.

Clever & Clean Z10

Another good budget robot that will pick up crumbs, hair, dust and fur, and if necessary, he will also wipe the floors, since the kit includes a microfiber wiping attachment, but the manufacturer positions the model as a device for dry cleaning. The assistant will be able to do major cleaning, local cleaning and turn on pre-programmed schedule. Orients itself in space thanks to the presence of contact and infrared obstacle and height difference sensors, included there is a virtual wall, so areas where the robot should not go can be fenced off. In addition, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a UV disinfection lamp. Users note that the robot moves around the apartment quite accurately, handles garbage well, and has almost no competitors in this price category. The downside is that it sometimes sucks in the edges of thin rugs.

GUTREND JOY 90 Pet

Another model with an average price tag. Suitable for cleaning fairly large rooms, you can set a timer, according to which cleaning will begin. The accuracy of movement is ensured by optical sensors and the presence virtual wall. The tiny, lightweight vacuum cleaner fits a more or less voluminous container, which, when filled, just needs to be empty. Reviews from owners say that after cleaning with this vacuum cleaner you can even walk barefoot on the floors.

A robot vacuum cleaner is an invaluable assistant for very busy or just a little lazy people. With its help, you can keep your house clean, but you shouldn’t create illusions that you can give up traditional cleaning - at least 1-2 times a month it’s better to turn on a regular vacuum cleaner and wash the floors. And reducing the frequency of such “manual” cleaning is the main advantage of the robot.
