Review on Wi-Fi Connected iRobot Roomba E5 (5150) Robot Vacuum - Works with Alexa, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets and Hard Floors - Self-Charging, Black by Bong Cha ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

If you want a newer model than the cheapest now 606th and 616th, but take the top models that build a map of the premises, "strangles the toad" - take this model. The golden mean, as they say. He works with us every day, starts at 12.00, cleans up for about 1.5 hours and goes to the base. For all the time, the base was not found only once (but this happens in expensive models too). With a chaotic ride, in general, it cleans up pretty well, it’s even convenient that it can drive repeatedly once. For more thorough cleaning, it can be closed room by room. But with daily cleaning and driving around the apartment is also fine. Cleaning this robot vacuum cleaner is quick and convenient. In terms of getting stuck and other things, everything is about the same as with other vacuum cleaners. If there are a lot of objects, cables and other things that are lying on the floor, then, of course, the robot will try to climb on them and may get stuck. I think the fact that for effective cleaning the maximum floor area must be freed up in ANY CASE (even with manual cleaning) is quite obvious. And it would be better to remove all kinds of slippers, wires, etc. from the path of the robot vacuum cleaner, and then no one will get stuck there. In the absence of people, I rarely launch - but we have animals whose traces of surprises (a cat will vomit, for example) a robot vacuum cleaner can spread throughout the apartment. So that's worth keeping an eye on as well. In general, I am satisfied with it, and nothing is perfect in this world. I will wait for models with the ability to build a map of premises to become even more wiser and at the same time cheaper, but for now, the previous ones cope with cleaning completely. For washing the floor - a separate polisher (we have Braava 390).

Pros
  • This model is just that neither is in the middle niche of the line of all IRobot robot vacuum cleaners in every sense - both in price and in terms of performance. The e5 has a more powerful motor than its predecessors, you can wash the container, there is an application to control the robot vacuum cleaner from your smartphone. And, of course, much more convenient rollers, which, unlike previous fluffy brushes, are cleaned 4 times faster, because. nothing gets stuck on them and is not wound with terrible force, as on pile ones. And unlike more expensive models, this robot does not know how to build room maps and clean according to them, it drives randomly, like the previous generation of robotic vacuum cleaners (but no one promised this in the specifications).
Cons
  • The battery lasts for less time than older models (we also have an old 535th Rumba, it obviously lasts longer) - however, it is understandable: a more powerful motor consumes more resources. The application is damp; does not make it possible to restart the robot vacuum cleaner from there in case of an error that is not related to the fact that it is stuck; you can not set the time 2 times a day for cleaning (for example, in the morning and in the evening); some links lead to non-existent pages or pages in some foreign language (for some reason, I opened Portuguese).

Different pros: Powerful enough, vacuums a woolen carpet.(1.5-2 cm pile height). Can immediately vacuum two rooms (50 square meters in total) in one charge. Depends on pollution. Some cons: The vacuum cleaner did not charge several times due to problems at the base.

In general, a good device.

I took this robot for my 1-room apartment. He copes with cleaning perfectly, manages to clean everything and clean a small carpet on 1 charge, after which he independently returns to recharge.
