Review on ๐Ÿค– V7S Pro Robot Vacuum with Enhanced Suction Power by Alfredo Testerman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No magic, but totally worth the money.

First of all, this vacuum cleaner is NOT designed to vacuum carpets. It doesn't have any lint, the suction isn't SUPER strong and I think whatever dust you find on the carpet will clog it up pretty quickly anyway. So your wooden or laminate floor always stays clean. I REALLY didn't expect to like it that much - it was kind of an experiment to see if a robot vacuum would work for our house. We have a husky that just keeps shedding an ultra-fine, light, fluffy undercoat. It's so light that most of the time it doesn't irritate (on clothes, furniture, etc.), but going barefoot means your feet are covered in nothing but coarse hair, and it drives the fur into your socks where it just never comes out. I try to run the vacuum regularly, but even after hitting each surface with a soft roller, it all starts over again as soon as you touch them. Much to my surprise, this $150 robit ACTUALLY handles that particular problem pretty well! Battery life is pretty good as long as it's not constantly struggling with carpet. Put it in a room that needs checking and in 40 minutes it's mostly clean, with a nice clean floor and maybe just a few veld grass here and there that get blown away by the wind when you walk. The small trash can REALLY needs to be emptied almost every time it is used, and sometimes more than once. But at least for the ultra-light undercoat fluff I'm talking about, the 3-stage filtration does a pretty good job even when the bin is full. I've returned home to find a completely clogged air intake on more than one occasion, suggesting that suction power stays pretty good even when the bin is full. I was also surprised how many sensors are on board for such a cheap device. It's not just running around and bumping into random objects - it actually does a pretty good job of finding walls, following them, and then moving back and forth pretty efficiently in small patches at a time. Getting that much better requires surveillance cameras, which you'll only find indoors for $800 or $1,000 bars. One thing I regularly notice is some sort of status log reading app - I regularly hear the vacuum cleaner say something but not keep quiet. heard it fast enough to know what it was. Again, the solution is basically always "empty the recycle bin, make sure it's free and run one of the cleanup modes again", so I guess it doesn't really matter. Certainly not for $150.
