Xrobot is one of the few Chinese companies that independently produces robotic vacuum cleaners under its own brand. Products are certified not only according to local standards, but also according to international ones. Xrobot vacuum cleaners are designed for light daily cleaning and, despite the assurances of the seller, are unlikely to replace full-fledged cleaning equipment for the home.

Nevertheless, these are quite high-quality devices that immediately attract attention with their stylish design and spectacular design. A large number of flashing lights, a backlit display and a soft bumper, which most models are equipped with, make the gadgets of this brand look like a small spacecraft moving randomly around your apartment.

Pros and cons

• Diverse design solutions
• Certified and safe products
• There are models with a cyclone filter
• Most models have two brushes

• High price
• Not all models have Wi-Fi support
• Few models available for purchase in Russia

3 Proscenic 790T

The latest model from Proscenic with the possibility of remote control deservedly got into the rating of the best robots. I am very pleased with the build quality and components of this robot. The weight of the device is quite solid. It is immediately clear that this is not a toy. Its suction power is the best among the models that got into the top - 1200PA. And with such power, the vacuum cleaner does not make much noise. A working robot does not cause discomfort.

The container has two compartments - for water and collected dust. The robot cannot be called a full-fledged washing vacuum cleaner, since the volume of the water tank is only 150 ml. The model is equipped with a powerful battery, one charge is enough for 2 hours of fishing. The reviews speak positively about the control system: it can be carried out from the remote control or smartphone via Wi-Fi. The application can be downloaded from the AppStore or Google Play. The scheduled cleaning function works flawlessly. Buyers of the Aliexpress site consider the absence of a virtual wall in the configuration to be a disadvantage of the model.

2 Molisu V8S PRO

If you believe the promises of the manufacturer, Molisu V8S PRO will be an excellent assistant in the process of dry and wet cleaning. It is suitable for getting rid of animal hair, dusting carpets, marble, wood and ceramic surfaces. Battery capacity - 2600 mAh, battery life up to 2.5 hours. This is enough for a complete cleaning of an apartment of 180 square meters. The robot vacuum cleaner comes with a 350 ml wet cleaning container. It is not necessary to fill it with water to the top, 100 ml will be enough for a small apartment.

Judging by the reviews, the ease of operation of the device deserves special attention: you can set a fixed operating time, there is also an application for remote control. Molisu V8S PRO does not build full routes, but it does have a gyroscopic mapping system and voice prompts. Thanks to this, even beginners will cope with cleaning.

The best robot vacuum cleaners from ILIFE brand from AliExpress

ILIFE is perhaps the most popular vacuum cleaner manufacturer on Aliexpress. This is a Chinese company officially registered in 2015. The brand has set itself a specific goal: to create robotic vacuum cleaners with high functionality at affordable prices. Instead of copying foreign brands, ILIFE engineers develop their own unique technologies. The product line is regularly updated, here you can find devices for every taste and budget. Almost all ILIFE models deserve a place in the top, but only the best robot vacuum cleaners for dry and wet cleaning are presented in this category.

4ISWEEP S320

For a few more years, even buyers of the Aliexpress site could not even dream of a robot vacuum cleaner worth less than $ 100. And here he is in front of you. This is not some kind of toy, but quite a serious automatic cleaner. The manufacturer did not even cut its functionality. The robot is the best at collecting small debris, it can do wet cleaning, it can climb carpets with a low pile and collect wool in the corners. And since the height of the vacuum cleaner is only 75 mm, dust cannot hide even in nooks and crannies under cabinets and beds.

The wheels are characterized by increased cross-country ability, so the device overcomes small slopes without problems. The suction is quite powerful, users like the quality of wet cleaning. The vacuum cleaner does not leave marks and stains on the floor.Cleaning modes 3. The function of programming the robot for automatic cleaning is not provided.

2 ILIFE A8

Here is an improved version of the ILIFE A6 robot vacuum cleaner. This product clearly shows how rapidly the Chinese are improving their gadgets. Suitable for dry cleaning. The design of the robot is similar to its predecessor. You can distinguish it by the camera module located on the body, the viewing angle of which is 360 degrees

The main sensors were hidden behind a movable bumper. Information from cameras and sensors is processed by the iMove navigation system, with the participation of one of the best graphical algorithms. This scheme allows the device to quickly correct the route. A pleasant moment is the presence of 2 turbo brushes, one of which is rubber for smooth surfaces, the other with bristles for cleaning carpets. Rubberized wheels, high suspension. The self-loading mode works without failures. The disadvantage of the device is the absence of a virtual wall in the set.

Functionality

The Ashimo Flatlogic 5314 robot vacuum has all the features you need to clean hard floors and low pile carpets from dust, dirt and pet hair. It works in automatic mode, maintaining cleanliness and order in the house, performing dry cleaning of the room and wet wiping the floor. The wet cleaning function is carried out thanks to a removable wet cleaning panel with a hand-dampened microfiber cloth attached to it.

Mopping the floor

The Ashimo 5314 robot vacuum cleaner easily copes with obstacles, overcoming small thresholds and driving on carpets.As a result of the well-coordinated work of optical sensors, the robot detects height differences and will never fall off the stairs, and when approaching interior items, it automatically changes its direction of movement, avoiding a collision with them. During operation, it is possible to limit the cleaning area by using a special device included in the delivery set - a virtual wall.

Ashimo Flatlogic 5314 is equipped with navigation. He is able to navigate in space and at the same time create a map of the room, remembering the location of objects in it. According to the manufacturer, advanced motion algorithms help the robot vacuum cleaner cover the entire space of the room, leaving no uncleaned places and clean it at a high technological level.

The robot not only collects dust and dirt from the floor surface, but also destroys bacteria with a UV lamp and disinfects the surrounding air, as it is equipped with a fine filter that traps even the smallest dust particles. And equipping the device with a timer allows you to program the work according to the schedule - by the days of the week and the time it starts.

The ability to control from the remote control makes the use of the robot more comfortable and convenient. After completion of work or when the charge level drops to a critical level, the robotic assistant independently returns to the base for recharging.

Features of the latest generation of robotic vacuum cleaners

The main advantage of an automated cleaner is saving time and effort. The device itself creates a route of movement around the apartment, changing direction when it encounters obstacles.

The robot analyzes the level of cleanliness of the room, detects the most contaminated areas and, if necessary, passes over them several times.

The flagship models of 2018-2019 are equipped with infrared sensors and laser vision. Thanks to this, vacuum cleaners successfully avoid stairs and high thresholds, automatically change the suction power and return to their charging station when the energy supply runs out.

Developers equip vacuum cleaners with intelligent functions, including voice control and an alert system. Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to control the robot from your smartphone while away from home.

The robot vacuum cleaner is not a full-fledged cleaner. It is designed for daily maintenance of cleanliness, in the intervals between "general" cleanings.

The companies iRobot, Neato, Eufy, iLife are recognized as the best creators of robotic vacuum cleaners. They produce models of 3 types: for dry, wet and combined cleaning.

To choose the right option, you should take into account the battery capacity and the type of dust collector, suction power and the functionality of the device. Read more about all the criteria for choosing a robot vacuum cleaner in our article.

Advantages and disadvantages

An overview of the advantages of the Ashimo Flatlogic 5314 robot vacuum cleaner:

1. Modern appearance, compact overall dimensions.
2. Wet mopping function.
3. There is navigation, well-developed movement algorithms.
4. Ability to work on a schedule.
5. Low noise level.

Among the shortcomings can be noted separately:

1. Not quite a perfect function of wet cleaning.
2. The cost is about 20 thousand rubles. Given that this robot vacuum cleaner, like its manufacturer, is little known, it is better to choose a robot from a more eminent brand. Features and functions do not make it particularly competitive. All parameters are standard, nothing unique.
3. A huge number of dubious positive reviews.It seems that a "smart" advertising campaign has been launched to promote the robot vacuum cleaner. Because of this, it is difficult to adequately assess how good he really is at work. This definitely calls into question the integrity of the entire brand.

Summing up, I would like to note that this robot vacuum cleaner, with its high cost and little fame, is still better to bypass. Firstly, there are no service centers where they could fix it. Secondly, as mentioned above, it is too much praised with completely nondescript functions. And, thirdly, for 20 thousand rubles you can choose a good robot vacuum cleaner from iRobot or iClebo - market leaders.

Finally, we recommend watching the video review of Ashimo Flatlogic 5314:

• Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner
• Philips FC8710

User opinions about brand technology

The manufacturer positions itself as a major developer of robotics, but such information could not be confirmed.

All equipment is quite “fresh”, so most of the reviews are devoted to testing the vacuum cleaner or analyzing the first months of its operation.

Customer reviews of Ashimo household robots often confirm the technical information provided by the manufacturer.

This is an argument in favor of Japanese equipment, which has not lost ground over the years and is always distinguished by excellent build quality and impeccable functionality.

A lot of rave reviews are addressed to vacuum cleaner designers. Indeed, compared to the "boring" design of other worthy brands, Ashimo representatives look stylish and bright.

How long the robot is able to work, is it difficult to find spare parts, what fails in the first place, how reliable is the battery - it is too early to answer these questions.

About 90% of buyers who have spared no expense and purchased relatively expensive "Japanese" speak only positively about them. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the models are still new and the flaws have not yet manifested themselves.

Users noted that the models correspond to the description declared by the manufacturer. This also applies to individual technical characteristics, the quality of cleaning, the trajectory of movement and the degree of floor treatment.

Here is just a partial list of my favorites:

• the vacuum cleaner quickly finds the base;
• the robot works out the declared time, and may act longer;
• the navigation system is really unique - it seems that the robot sees the room and chooses the most successful route;
• if we compare the quality of cleaning Ashimo and analogues of other brands, then it is much higher;
• brushes, bumper, body do not wear out over time and remain like new;
• the modes differ fundamentally, and sometimes it is useful for cleaning a room around the perimeter or, conversely, only in the center;
• The equipment is absolutely safe, and even children can operate it.

There is no water tank in the design, however, moistened nozzles are enough to wipe a room with an area of ​​15 m³.

If more thorough cleaning is needed, the nozzles are rinsed again and fixed at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner - the whole replacement process takes a few minutes.

Negative opinions of owners

No frankly negative reviews about the quality of cleaning were found, but there are suspicions that scammers are selling the goods. Most of the published reviews are subjective and relate to a lack of understanding of technical nuances.

Many complain about the noise emitted by the vacuum cleaner. But 55 dB for a robot moving on hard surfaces and equipped with a suction system is not much. Noise is produced by rollers, brushes, motor and fan, and silent cleaners do not exist.

The second common complaint concerns the price of the vacuum cleaner. Even model 5314 costs more than 23 thousand rubles. For those who find the cost prohibitive, there are many inexpensive and reliable models from other manufacturers - powerful, "long-playing", with a set of similar modes and features.

The main disadvantage is that there is a lack of confidence in the goods sold via the Internet. It is difficult to say whether the robots have a license and the necessary certificates, whether they can be returned or exchanged - the information on the sites is rather scarce.

Service centers simply do not exist. However, video reviews prove that the equipment is efficient and, at first glance, copes with its functions.

4 ILIFE V5s Pro

A very popular robot vacuum cleaner on AliExpress. The model was presented to customers only at the beginning of 2018, and today the number of sales has crossed the tens of thousands. The low price of the device allowed many fans of Chinese shopping to get an assistant without going beyond the budget. The peculiarity of this model is the thorough cleaning of flat surfaces. This was achieved thanks to the well-thought-out fastening of a specially shaped microfiber. It would seem - nothing special, but the effect was excellent.

Another advantage is the best power for a budget model. Moreover, the cleaning efficiency does not depend on the mode. And the device has four of them: automatic cleaning, spot cleaning, along walls and corners, according to a schedule. There is no wet cleaning function. The height of the vacuum cleaner is minimal - the robot will crawl under almost any sofa.In reviews, buyers recommend it and consider it an ideal solution for a first acquaintance with automated vacuum cleaners.

1 Ecovacs Deebot DE55

The differences between Ecovacs Deebot DE55 and budget models from the top are visible to the naked eye: the design is thought out to the smallest detail, the device is thin and compact (95 mm). It easily passes through thresholds up to 18 mm high.

The manufacturer focuses on the Smart Navi 3.0 navigation system, which minimizes the risk that the robot vacuum cleaner will not fit into a wall or cabinet. In a special application, you can draw a map, set virtual boundaries

It is also possible to mark the dirtiest areas that require maximum attention. After receiving the information, the device will independently select the optimal cleaning path.

Customers are delighted with Ecovacs Deebot DE55: the robot drives into all the cracks, competently builds routes and sucks up all the garbage the first time. The only negative is that occasionally there are problems during the connection process. There is no QR code on the body of the device, you will have to add it to the application manually.

Distinctive features of Ashimo technology

Having studied the requests of buyers, manufacturers decided to launch a trial project of three models. They analyzed the products that are most in demand, identified useful, from the point of view of the buyer, characteristics and endowed their models with them.

Fundamentally, robotic cleaners do not differ from similar devices of other brands. If we compare the models with competitors, then they can be called "middle peasants".

Japanese-made robotic vacuum cleaners are designed to perform dry and wet cleaning on areas up to 120 m². Features improved navigation and reliability (+)

However, manufacturers highly appreciated the quality of home robots, since the cost of vacuum cleaners is on average from 25 thousand rubles. for the "weakest" model 5314, and from 41 thousand rubles. for the advanced vacuum cleaner 5517.

With the main functions - removing dust from the floor and wet cleaning - they do an excellent job.

In this case, the user is faced with the choice of mode. At first it seems redundant, but after testing, there is always one or more optimal modes suitable for a given situation.

The advantage of the brand is a set of well-known, but the best and put together features of the robot vacuum cleaner.

The robot is equipped with polymer brushes that rake debris under the body, from where it is sucked into the waste bin and remains there until it is manually shaken out.

The design is made in such a way that the robotic assistant equally carefully removes dust from both smooth linoleum and fleecy carpet

The round body allows a small device to get close to difficult areas for cleaning - corners, while furniture is not a hindrance

To set the desired program, it is enough to learn how to use the touch control panel. Additionally, the robot is equipped with a remote control

Double dust collection system

Ability to handle various surfaces

Compact and well-chosen shape

Comfortable control and programming system

Unlike conventional vacuum cleaners, the robot is fully automated.After selecting the mode, he independently performs all operations, and then becomes recharging.

An interesting addition is the “virtual wall”. The device, mounted on the side and emitting invisible rays, creates a barrier over which the vacuum cleaner does not go

One of the original developments of the company is the vSLAM navigation system. Its essence lies in the fact that, thanks to a set of sensors, the vacuum cleaner is oriented in space, draws up a route of movement, captures all areas of the floor and at the same time avoids collisions with furniture and other obstacles.

The robot quickly responds to the sudden absence of a base on which it moves. That is, approaching the stairs, he will not fall down, but slow down, turn around and continue working

All three models perform the function of wet cleaning. Cleaning the floor in the room with nozzles soaked in water becomes complete, all dust and animal hair is removed, the air is refreshed.

1 ILIFE A4s

ILIFE A4s is one of the first robotic vacuum cleaners designed specifically for long pile carpets. It uses a brush with double V-shaped bristles for a more thorough cleaning. The control is carried out using the remote control, there are two modes. The volume of the dust container is 450 ml, which is more than many models from Aliexpress. The kit includes detailed instructions in Russian.

The average rating for ILIFE A4s is 5 stars and that says a lot. The product was ordered on Aliexpress more than 2500 times. The reviews praise the device for quiet operation and easy setup. The seller packs the vacuum cleaner securely, so that damage during shipment is excluded. Delivery is fast, complete set. The only drawback is that this model is not suitable for wet cleaning.Another disadvantage is that the robot will not work on a black carpet with a pile of less than 12 mm. But the seller immediately warns about everything, so there are no unpleasant surprises.
