Having invented a robot vacuum cleaner, mankind has taken another step on the path to the centuries-old dream - “robots are working hard, man is happy”. And while so far only a small part of the household has been given over to artificial intelligence, there is hope that a bright future is not far off. In order to pass the time in anticipation of the golden age, we offer you a rating of the best robotic vacuum cleaners of 2017, based on the popularity of models and user reviews in Runet.
10.iClebo Arte
Average price: 30 000 rubles.
South Korean alternative to American and Chinese manufacturers. IClebo robots are reliable, high-quality and multi-functional. Specifically, iClebo Arte is designed for dry cleaning, but the kit comes with a microfiber cloth, with which the robot can wipe the floor.
The base finds faultlessly, does not make stupid movements back and forth, which is less famous for less advanced counterparts. Previously, it is worth “training” - to show the apartment.
9. GUTREND JOY 90 Pet
Average price: 13 000 rubles.
The small size of the robot - only 30 cm in diameter - allows it to easily pass between the legs of chairs and tables (although it’s better to prepare the floor for cleaning beforehand by removing items such as lying exercises, clothing and so on). It removes animal hair and fine debris well, and the battery capacity is just enough for an apartment.
Sometimes it can miss corners, it searches for a base for a long time and doesn’t always find it, but it’s difficult to determine the fill level of the garbage container by eye - the device does not have a display.
8. Genio Profi 260
Average price: 16 000 rubles.
The first in the ranking of 2017 among robotic vacuum cleaners, who can also do wet cleaning. In total, the device has 4 modes, there is a disinfecting UV lamp. You can communicate with a smart machine both through the touch panel and give commands by voice. A nice bonus is alerts in Russian. It perfectly cleans corners, collects wool and debris, quite quiet.
True, even with a clogged filter, the robot still heroically continues to fight entropy, which is not always convenient (although the notification on the case is on fire).
7. Philips FC 8802
Average price: 10 500 rubles.
One of the main advantages of this small and inexpensive model is height is only 5 cm. Thanks to this, Philips FC 8802 easily climbs into the places that are usually the most difficult for robot vacuum cleaners - the space under sofas, cabinets, armchairs, coffee tables. Despite the size, this baby is able to clean itself completely qualitatively in a dry manner (however, if there are carpets, difficulties can arise). And if you attach a napkin to the filter, it will be much easier to clean the dust bag.
The only problem - The warranty on the battery is only six months.
6. Xrobot Helper
Average price: 12 500 rubles.
The Chinese brand of robotic vacuum cleaners, pleasantly pleasing at a low price for such functionality. It has a two-level mode for collecting large debris and dust (along with an ultraviolet lamp, a backlit display and nozzles for wet cleaning). A small container capacity may cause some inconvenience, but with regular cleaning this is not so significant. Wherein the robot is very passable - Carpets are not an obstacle for him, he will also clean them.
Minuses: after about a year, the battery will start to run down and you may have to think about buying a new home worker.
5.iBoto Aqua X310
Average price: 13 500 rubles.
Robot vacuum cleaner for complete wet cleaning. Despite some of the shortcomings that are common to almost all wet-cleaning robots - some slurring droppers that either leak or empty are not completely - he it washes the floor quite qualitatively.
Of the minuses - the cleaning rag is washed off quite quickly, it is worth watching.
4. Polaris PVCR 0826
Average price: 20 000 rubles.
Model review at Basetop.ru
This robot characterized by increased cleaning time - he has more than three hours of battery life. It will perfectly cope with cleaning parquet and laminate flooring, as well as with short-pile carpets (it can get stuck on long-pile ones). A nice plus is the high-quality design and pleasant appearance of the model, especially the glass top adds style. After wet cleaning, it is advisable to empty the container with water, as it may leak.
3. Panda X950
Average price: 18 700 rubles.
Another Chinese product, which marketers are trying to ennoble, hinting at its Japanese origin. But you cannot be a seasoned Russian buyer - first of all, he looks at the functionality. AND Panda X950 has good functionality - six modes, the possibility of wet mopping with a rag, it works without recharging for two hours, and is also able to return to unworked work after recharging and successfully complete it.
Of the minuses: a bit noisy, and the charger may hum.
2.iRobot Roomba 631
Average price: 24 100 rubles.
The second place in the rating of robotic vacuum cleaners for 2017 is occupied by one of the models of the American company, with which, in fact, it all started - iRobot. The company does not knit brooms, and iRobot robotic vacuum cleaners are quite high-quality, functional, reliable and, of course, popular. Powerful iRobot Roomba 631 battery it will allow it to clean dry without stopping for three hours, the cyclone filter will save you from messing around with bags, and the intelligence of the robot will be enough to independently stop cleaning an already clean room. A nice addition, which is often forgotten by manufacturers of robotic vacuum cleaners, is a convenient brush for cleaning a turbo brush.
1. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 260
Average price: 20 000 rubles.
The best robot vacuum cleaner for the home in the 2017 ranking is the decent Chinese alternative iRobot - a product from Xiaomi, beloved by Russian smartphone buyers. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner has some interesting technical innovations; one of them - advanced navigation system and laser distance sensor. Thanks to this, the robot does not “blunt” what some other models are famous for, does not disappear in dark places, does not wander under sofas and armchairs and is well-oriented in the apartment. You can control it using a smartphone, there is a scheduled cleaning function.
Only flaw - Chinese language alerts robot. Fortunately, he is not inclined to conduct intellectual conversations, and his vocabulary is very limited. And because of the Chinese, it may be difficult to update the software.
