Review on ๐Ÿค– Advanced Smart WiFi Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Efficient Cleaning by Sean Maile

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's not designed for that, but it's fun

Several functions can be controlled with the WeBack app. For example, you can change the suction power, track the robot's location, send it back to the dock, and just stop in place. He has a remote control to "control" him. I've tried doing it blindly from another room, but the location response on the map is too slow to really control accurately. It's not positioned as a remote control car, but it's still interesting to try. :) The tracking feature is cool, especially when the robot gets stuck somewhere and gets lost under the bed, for example. If you've followed it in the app, you might find the robot. However, if you didn't have the app when you launched it, this feature won't help. The app/robot combo does not use GPS or room-sharing memory to report location. Instead, the robot reopens the room layout every time it starts. The battery is a bit questionable. After an eight-minute cleaning of 77 sqm. Feet on a low-pile carpet, the battery has dropped from 100% to 75%. Of course I worked with maximum vacuum suction most of the time. I wonder what programming option is available. For example, it would be nice if the robot increased the power of the vacuum cleaner for some rooms. Or tell him to clean bedroom 1 on day 1, bedroom 2 on day 2, kitchen on day 3, etc. so I can clean the whole house for a week without a power outage. The robot recognizes magnetic strips. He stops and returns to the trail. However, you can attach a strip. The robot has to walk along the track to feel it. But if he gets stuck on the edge of the strip he will push it and may not stop. The WeBack app is probably the best home automation app that comes with the device or is recommended by the device manufacturer. I've used other apps for other devices that just weren't worth the time or effort. WeBack works very well. However, I can't say how it works with Alexa or Google as I haven't tried them. If so, I will update this review. Here's my video key in case you don't want to see everything. In any case, I wanted the video to show the vacuum cleaner actually going through the room. I activated the phone application on the screen, which was used to change the robot's settings while cleaning. 00:00 start. The preset vacuum power is "quiet mode" 00:17 vacuum power on "strong" (maximum) mode 01:29 vacuum on "normal" mode 01:50 vacuum goes under the bed. We look at the location in the application. 02:40 Hoover collects cat food and pushes a plate of food. 03:00 The vacuum cleaner pushes the disk with cat food again. 03:45 The vacuum cleaner rotates in a very small space. I had to save him. 05:00 Gather strings and ropes where a vacuum cleaner can be. 06:00 Vacuum doesn't always move in predictable ways. 06:55 Setting boundaries with a magnetic stripe. 07:35 Return to "strong" vacuum regime. Notice the difference in volume. 08:45 Send the vacuum cleaner back to the docking station. 09:00 Vacuum cleaner aligns with docking station. 09:20 An example of a bizarre robot grammar. You will hear it in the video.

Pros
  • Cleaning and hygiene items
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
