Review on 🧹 Revolutionize Cleaning with the C530 Robot Vacuum Cleaner: WiFi Enabled, Wet Mopping & More by Mazie Laporte

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much quieter than Roomba 770

I like this robot because it can both vacuum and mop the floor with a water tank and is connected to wifi so I can keep an eye on it when I gone, the WiFi connection is limited to the 2.4GHz network, failed several times before I was finally able to connect it to my router. I had to take the robot and my phone to the router, hold the power button and let go of the WiFi indicator flashing, and use the CoayuBot app on my phone (connected to the same 2.4GHz network) to interact with the robot to communicate, which failed several times when the app tried to send a message to the bot. But after several attempts it finally works. Once connected I can use it on my other Android devices if I log in with the same account and then I can see this robot. Connecting to Alexa is easy, but not in the way I usually connect devices to Alexa. I have never seen this device show up in Alexa even after adding the skills and abilities associated with my Coayu account. So basically just connect the skill to the account and that's it. The default device name is "Smart Bot" because I can't see it on the devices listed in Alexa, so I can't change the name. It will respond when I say "Alexa asks the Smart Bot to start cleaning." When the robot is cleaning (vacuum mode) it's not loud at all, I can still watch TV and overhear the conversation. The robot (Mode 1) cleans systematically, which I like more than random movements like Roomba, and it works really well on a hard floor. There was a lot of dust and crumbs on the floor. He went under the cabinet, around the furniture, but he could get stuck trying to climb the legs of the tree or something thick, the left wheel would climb and stop. I tried to stop the robot from climbing over the tree with a magnetic bar the next day, but it climbed over it and still got stuck on the cables. The best way is to put a crate in the way to prevent it from coming out. In mopping mode, I filled the water tank completely and after using it twice, there is still water in the tank, I still see the floor is wet and clean, so I think that's good. The dust container for the wipe mode is also still full. Thus, the robot vacuums and wipes at the same time. From the CoayuBot app I can see a map where this robot went, it's just nice to see, we can't really control which room it should be in, but just give footprints where he was and it draws the shapes of the room. I can also create a schedule with the app, time + day from Monday to Sunday. I can name this robot here in the app, but that name is not used by Alexa. For half the price of my Roomba 770 it can wash and vacuum, connects to Wi-Fi and is controlled by Alexa, I think that's a very good farewell. I recommend everyone to use it.
