5 best washing robot vacuum cleaners

Detergent cleaning robots are the next stage in the development of robotic technology designed to facilitate the life of a modern person. As a rule, such models allow for complex cleaning, which includes both “dry” dust collection and moistening of treated surfaces. In turn, the function of wet cleaning itself is divided into several types:

• full floor cleaning is typical for more dimensional models of robotic vacuum cleaners, the design of which provides for a volume tank for water and detergents;
• Moisturizing - typical for small-sized gadgets that use small portions of water for dusting and for easy cleaning of floor coverings.

Particularly expensive models are equipped with ultraviolet lamps, as well as air ionization systems for better cleaning.

Not so long ago, cleaning robots-vacuum cleaners were just beginning to fill the segment, gradually penetrating the market as a substitute for standard samples. The bulk of the products produced is still something transitional, but the obvious positive trend and the development direction taken gradually opens the way to more and more sophisticated devices. As a recommendation for the purchase, we selected the best that the segment of robot vacuum cleaners offers, and made an objective thematic rating. The distribution of the final positions was based on the following criteria:

• build quality of the robot;
• the width of the regular functionality and the availability of additional features;
• opinions of users and experts in the field of robotic technology;
• price / performance ratio.

Top 5 best cleaning robots, vacuum cleaners

5 Iclebo pop

The Korean-made product IClebo Pop functionally executed the minimum program, for which he was honestly awarded the top five. Alas, the further advancement of the model in the TOP was prevented by “outstanding” height dimensions and some problems related to the stability of work. Some users note that when they enter a zone with a large number of obstacles, two dozen infrared sensors cannot orient the robot towards a free exit.

But on the part of the implementation of the main operation to IClebo Pop do not carp. The lithium-ion battery provides the device for 120 minutes with a decent power consumption of 60 watts, and it takes no more than 110 minutes to charge. The dust collector of the washing vacuum cleaner is a cyclone filter with a capacity of 0.6 liters - this is the best result among competitors. Also worth noting is the presence of a tenacious side brush that effectively removes debris from the corners of rooms (in which the vacuum cleaner can also get stuck).

When the model operates in the mode of a polisher, an acute lack of a reservoir for at least a small amount of detergent affects. Some users note the fact that for high-quality cleaning the napkin on the panel has to be wetted at intervals of 10-15 minutes, which does not allow to move away from the robot for a long time. The rest of the device does not have anything extraordinary, and the cost, in the presence of such defects, is somewhat overestimated.

4 PANDA X600 Pet Series

The classic robot vacuum cleaner is produced specifically for cleaning rooms with pets. The developers have abandoned the use of a turbo brush, which greatly simplified the operation of the device. In addition, the PANDA X600 Pet Series has automatic power control, thanks to which it independently “recognizes” the degree of contamination. This makes it possible to choose the optimal mode of the five built-in ones, which will provide a full-fledged result on each particular segment. The mode of the polisher is provided by two special nozzles, and for better protection against bacteria, the device is equipped with a disinfecting UV lamp. The time of continuous work is not less than 90 minutes, after which the robot returns to the base independently, where it accumulates energy for about 5 hours.

According to the owners, the PANDA X600 does its job well, works quite quietly and efficiently on all types of surfaces. If necessary, you can install a cleaning program on a schedule. And the majority of users called the main drawback not always the correct construction of the motion algorithm, which is why a vacuum cleaner can follow the same route several times. The rest of the technology claims no. This is a high-quality and reliable washing robot vacuum cleaner, which has an affordable price and good functionality.

3 Kitfort KT-516

The next participant in our review is Kitfort KT-516, the distinguishing characteristic of which is the optimal combination of price and functionality. This robot vacuum cleaner of the budget segment can not only collect high-quality dust, but also wipe the floors, and does it, according to customer reviews, very well. For wet cleaning, the model is equipped with a removable unit consisting of a separate water tank and a microfibre cloth. In addition, the gadget is equipped with a double filtration system (coarse barrier and HEPA filter), four side brushes and a module with a suction socket. The maximum power of the device is 25 W, the period of autonomous work without recharging is up to one and a half hours. Infrared sensors detecting obstacles and determining the height allow the robot to successfully avoid collisions with furniture, and not to fall from the sills and other elevations. With the additional option “virtual wall”, you can limit the cleaning area in advance.

Kitfort KT-516 has a very stylish body, but its dimensions can not be called the most compact compared to analogues. Because of this, problems may arise during the cleaning of particularly hard-to-reach places (for example, in the corners or under the cabinets). Also, some users noted a rather high noise level produced by a vacuum cleaner during operation.

2 IRobot Braava 390T

IRobot Braava 390T is a product of the American company, which is a worthy representative of the caste of especially washing vacuum cleaners. With the same structural features as the usual "dust collectors", this model is equipped with a miniature aqua filter that collects dust and other debris through a microfiber cloth straight into the water circuit. The non-removable panel with a napkin automatically delivers detergent, and in “sparing” doses. In other words, wet cleaning IRobot Braava 390T is very delicate and suitable for any type of flooring.

The entire functional stuffing (without disinfectants and ionizers, but with a bunch of other, purely corporate options) is placed in a compact case with a height of 7.6 centimeters. At the same time, the weight of the device does not exceed two kilograms, which is the best result in the whole rating. But the main plus of the vacuum cleaner is in the power mode. Having a not very capacious battery (2000 mAh), the IRobot Braava 390T is able to work for about 240 minutes (which is equivalent to 93 square meters of the cleaned room), spending on recharging in half less time.Yes, the effectiveness of the process is not the most outstanding, but with the condition of high-quality cleaning (which, according to users, is true), this can be ignored. Moreover, the cost of the robot is within reason.

1 Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One

The first place of our TOP is deservedly occupied by the model of the famous Chinese brand Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One. Presented to the general public just a year ago, the “smart” gadget managed during this time to earn the national title of the best in the category of budget vacuum cleaning robots for damp house cleaning. The device is considered to be an improved version of the earlier Mi Robot Vacuum, however, unlike its predecessor, the Mi Roborock Sweep One has a number of very important technological changes. The first and main difference is the introduction in Mi Roborock of the newest technology of washing surfaces, which is the automatic intake of the optimal amount of liquid. Thanks to this, after passing the device, the floor remains completely clean, without puddles and wet streaks. The robot is equipped with a special capillary regulator of water biological purification from various impurities and has an enlarged set of sensors, allowing more precise orientation in space. It also provides the ability to scan the room using the built-in high precision LDS laser. Such innovations allow the vacuum cleaner to perform the functions assigned to it as clearly as possible, raising the quality of the autonomous cleaning to a higher level.

The model is made in a minimalist design, equipped with a soft bumper and has a rather small size. In their reviews, users called Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One the best in ease of use (can be controlled from a smartphone), performance, appearance and price.
