In reviewing the robot for cleaning float endless "Yes, but ...". Yes, it works good, but not over the entire cleaning cycle. Yes, it removes without your participation, but not everywhere. Yes, it is doing everything, but how much it costs! Philips SmartPro FC8820 was a pleasant exception, because it fulfills perfectly all the features claimed manufacturerAnd are not afraid of its price.
We picked up for testing a difficult task: to get out in a three-room apartment, whose windows overlook the busy street, which is why on the floor constantly accumulates a lot of dust.
Immediately after charging Philips SmartPro shown what is capable of, and to dispel the myth that all robotic vacuum cleaners bad cope with the cleaning of dust along the walls and next to the furniture, they just can not drive too close to the right places.
line robots Philips SmartPro equipped with sensors, gyroscope and accelerometer. This intelligent filling forms Smart Detection system, which helps the robot to recognize the surroundings and choose the right cleaning mode. Apparently, so the first thing that made the vacuum cleaner, - wiping off the dust from the nearest corner, removing debris on the road.
Two brushes, which are not too close fitting to the floor, do not interfere with the vacuum cleaner to overcome obstacles and climb the low mats. But they have left no chance of dust accumulated on the floor. This is particularly evident when the vacuum cleaner performs cleaning mode "around the room."
These brushes sweep the crumbs from under the table legs and in places of contact with the floor of furniture. Infrared sensors allowed near Philips SmartPro very close to standing on the floor of the subjects. As a result, the most problematic places where normally dust gathers, are scrubbing.
Speaking of cleaning modes. They can be set manually with the remote control. If this is not done, then the robot will automatically switch between the four programs of their own.
The noise from the vacuum cleaner is comparable to the traffic noise outside the window: you can simultaneously listen to music on headphones and put in order the robot to work.
Navigational skills cleaner surprised us twice. For the first time - when the robot went to get out of a closet, while the height of the opening between the floor and the furniture is only 9.5 cm. Vacuum cleaner itself, by the way, only 6 cm in height.
The second time Philips SmartPro showed his class, when he managed to get under the kitchen, do not get lost among the large number of table legs and chairs (which can not be lifted up, as advised by the manufacturer) to clean, and then went out of the maze of furniture in the same way, how to get I hit.
Obstacles such as rugs and "accidentally forgotten" on the floor of wires Philips SmartPro overcome without difficulty, the robot can climb to a height of 2 cm.
suction power at Philips SmartPro same over the entire cleaning cycle. Even a half hour, when the vacuum cleaner got to the back room, he continued to work as effectively as in the beginning. The robot sweeps the dust, crumbs, small pieces of paper, wool and hair. Even cope with scraps of greenery. For a machine that should ensure the purity of between general cleaning, it is an excellent result.
For clarity, we have arranged a vacuum cleaner difficult test: scattered on the floor semolina. Sensor dust detection immediately reported to the robot, which was a place with a strong pollution, and Philips SmartPro including the program of the movement "Helical", which helps to cope with complex plots.
To shoot nice clean track, I had to use a remote control with the function of the light pointer. With it, you can change the trajectory of the movement of the robot and point to the most complex and challenging place.
The result and no comments can be seen in the photographs. One has only to add that in the end all the semolina vacuum cleaner collected, including cereals, flown off under the table, and on the other side of the room.
Full charge and two hours of treatment suffice to 50 square meters (and this in terms of scattered decoys). After that, the robot independently went to the docking station to recharge.
For the robot, you can schedule for the week ahead: it will return to the base charge and continue cleaning without your intervention. So when you return home from work, you will meet the clean floor and quiet vacuum cleaner.
You will only need to clean the container for garbage collection, but it is a simple task. Remove the tank and dust off the filter - it is a couple of minutes.
What else have a vacuum cleaner? Virtual wall, which you can install if you need to not miss the robot in a certain area and head for mounting a wet wipes, which wipes the floor.
Cost Philips SmartPro line corresponds to the middle class smart vacuum cleaners, and they are removed at a top level. Of course, the robot vacuum cleaner does not free you from the need to wet cleaning. But it is much easier to maintain purity. At least - you will be easier to breathe.
