Review of the Polaris PVCS 1125 vacuum cleaner: a nimble electric broom for the laziest

Comparison with competitive models

The PVCS 1125 vacuum cleaner has enough competitors with similar characteristics and capabilities. Let's highlight the three main ones and consider them in more detail.

Competitor #1 - REDMOND RV-UR340

The lightweight model of the Redmond company attracts consumers with the convenience of design and good quality.It costs 2000 cheaper than Polaris - about 8000 rubles.

• battery type - Li-Ion;
• battery life - 25 minutes;
• time to fully restore the charge - 360 minutes;
• dust collector capacity - 600 ml;
• the mass of the device is 2.1 kg.

The competitor of the hero of the review is distinguished by a more practical arrangement of the hand block. The removable portable device is located on top, so it does not interfere when cleaning the space under the furniture. For storage of equipment, a convenient wall mount is provided.

The standard main nozzle in the model is a turbo brush, equipped with special teeth and two undulating rows of bristles that improve the quality of cleaning in the room. Also included is a 2-in-1 crevice and lint nozzle.

Under the condition of daily use for quick local cleaning of one or two places in the apartment, the battery charge can be enough for 2-3 days. The battery in the vacuum cleaner is removable. However, it is difficult to find a spare battery for sale.

REDMOND RV-UR340 significantly loses to the device considered in the review in terms of battery life. It also needs more time to recharge the battery. The vacuum cleaner is charged via the power adapter.

Competitor #2 - Bosch BCH 6ATH18

This upright vacuum cleaner from the well-known Bosch brand costs about 9,000 rubles. The equipment contains useful additional functions: indicator of filling the dust collector, battery charge and filter replacement, power adjustment.

• battery type - Li-Ion;
• battery life - 40 minutes;
• time to fully restore the charge - 360 minutes;
• dust collector capacity - 900 ml;
• the mass of the device is 3.4 kg.

The vacuum cleaner works in three modes.In the first, most economical mode, the turbo brush does not turn on: the device makes almost no noise, collecting only small debris. The second program is average in terms of power and volume.

The third is the most powerful. By turning it on, you can suck up dirt even from long pile carpets, but it drains the battery very quickly.

Unlike the Polaris model, there is no removable portable unit in the Bosch vacuum cleaner. But the competitor has a larger container volume, more significant suction power and a powerful engine.

In the arsenal of the German brand there are many worthy offers of cleaning equipment. If you are looking for a compact, mobile unit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following ratings:

Competitor #3 - Philips FC6162 PowerPro Duo

Another alternative to the Polaris machine is the easy-to-maintain, maneuverable and compact stick vacuum cleaner from Philips. The average price of the device is the same - 10,000 rubles.

• battery type - NiMH;
• battery life - 25 minutes;
• time for full charge recovery - 960 minutes;
• dust collector capacity - 600 ml;
• the mass of the device is 2.9 kg.

The device is praised for its stylish design, high-quality assembly, decent turbo power, which is achieved through the innovative Power Cyclone technology. It works quite unobtrusively, without annoying the household with an excessively loud sound.

Convenient nozzles for a removable hand unit help get rid of dust in the most difficult places: battery compartments, corners of furniture, on shelves.

Significant disadvantages of the Philips FC6162 PowerPro Duo modification are too limited battery life and a very long recharging process.

Automatic cleaner Polaris PVC 0826

Modern household robotic vacuum cleaners are similar in shape and size to each other, but there are still small differences. Sometimes even 1-2 centimeters of height or a separate function when choosing an assistant is a decisive factor.

To choose the right device, it is better to first study the capabilities of the vacuum cleaner and compare it with similar models.

Complete set and packaging of the vacuum cleaner

The full model name is Polaris PVCR 0826 EVO. The Polaris designers did their best and came up with a bright and compact package for the household appliance. It is quite roomy and convenient for transporting the vacuum cleaner.

All sides of the box carry a payload: they contain information about the technical characteristics and features of the model, which the manufacturer considered the most important.

Two distinctive qualities of the model are placed on the front of the package: information about the filter, which traps almost 100% of dust, and a relatively long time of continuous operation - 3 hours and 30 minutes

Inside the box there is an insert with compartments, they contain the vacuum cleaner itself, charger, accessories and spare parts.

The elegant design of the body of the vacuum cleaner, painted in pale pink metallic, immediately catches the eye. The shape of the device resembles a tablet, but this is not an original idea - many manufacturers of robotics have come to such an ergonomic configuration.

The plastic surface is reinforced with a layer of transparent glass. There is nothing superfluous on the top panel, only the “Start” button and the lever for extracting the dust container

In addition to the partially disassembled device, the box contains the following items:

• rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh with a voltage limit of 14.8 V;
• charging device;
• a pair of containers - a dust collector and for water;
• synthetic fabric for wet cleaning - microfiber;
• HEPA 12 filters - working and spare;
• brushes for attaching to the body;
• robot maintenance brush;
• documentation package - receipt, warranty card, instruction manual;
• remote control.

Already at the first inspection, you can see how compact and functional the robot is. Height - only 76 mm.

This parameter allows the device to easily climb under beds and wardrobes, to clean where before it was necessary to move the furniture beforehand.

The weight of the package with filling is more than 5 kg, but the vacuum cleaner itself weighs much less - only 3 kg, which has a positive effect on its functionality.

The wheel diameter is 6.5 cm. They are small, but at the same time very tenacious. With embossed rubber tires and spring-loaded hinges, the device easily overcomes small obstacles in the form of a flat threshold or the edge of a carpet.

The lowest part of the device is at a height of 17 mm - obstacles of such a height are not afraid of an energetic assistant.

The vacuum cleaner cannot be called fragile, since the plastic is quite durable, besides, the elastic front bumper organizes a protective buffer zone that softens the blows.

A thin layer of rubber along the edge protects both the appliance itself and the furniture it collides with during cleaning

The design and volume of the dust collector

The garbage collection process is provided by the interaction of several parts of the simple design of the vacuum cleaner. The cleaning technology consists in the fact that two side brushes collect dust from the sides and feed it under the body, to the central part of the device.

Due to the suction effect, dust through a special hole with a vortex air flow enters into a special container.

In addition to the two main brushes, there is also the main one, which is fixed under the body. With its help, you can not only clean debris from smooth surfaces, but also clean carpets with a low pile.

She carefully picks up sand, crumbs, wool and hair - everything that then enters the dust collector with a jet of air.

As a detailed review of the PVC 0826 model, we offer a detailed story and video of a housewife blogger:

Comparison of a vacuum cleaner from competitors

For a detailed assessment of the qualities and capabilities of the model under consideration, let's compare it with the products of competing companies. As a basis for choosing robots for comparison, we will take the main duty - the ability to carry out dry and wet cleaning. To really appreciate the difference in technical equipment, we will analyze vacuum cleaners from different price segments.

Competitor #1 - Xiaomi Xiaowa E202-00

The Xiaomi Xiaowa E202-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Lite robotic vacuum cleaner attracts with an affordable price and a fairly wide range of functions. He, like his rival brand Polaris, not only draws in dust, but can also perform wet cleaning.

The main feature of this Xiaomi model is the ability to integrate into a smart home system. The robot may be part of the Xiaomi Mi Home and Amazon Alexa ecosystem. The vacuum cleaner is controlled by a smartphone using the Wi-Fi communication protocol. Owners can use the timer function and programming by day of the week.

With a charged battery, it works for 90 minutes, when the charge is depleted, it rushes to the parking station to get a fresh portion of energy.

The volume of the box for the accumulation of collected dust is 0.64 liters. When switching to wet cleaning, the dust collection box is removed and a sealed container of the same capacity is installed, which is required to supply water to microfiber cloths. The device is protected from impacts by a soft bumper.

Competitor #2 - Everybot RS700

The model, belonging to the middle price segment, cleans the floor in five different modes. It works with a charged battery for only 50 minutes, after which it must be manually installed for recharging. As an option, it can be equipped with a parking station. It will take the device 2 hours and 30 minutes to receive a fresh dose of electricity.

Controlled by Everybot RS700 using the buttons located on the front side, and using the remote control. The unit is equipped with a soft bumper that absorbs accidental collisions. Fixing obstacles in the way of the robot produce infrared sensors. This is the quietest of the options considered model. Publishes only 50 dB.

For wet processing, the robot is equipped with two rotating nozzles with microfiber working parts. The water below them is automatically supplied from a pair of boxes installed inside the device, containing 0.6 liters. The dust collector for dry cleaning is equipped with an aquafilter.

Competitor #3 - iRobot Roomba 606

Another competitor of the Polaris PVCR 0726w robot is the iRobot Roomba 606. It performs dry cleaning using the iAdapt navigation system. For garbage collection, it can use the electric brush that comes with the kit, it also has a side brush. As a dust collector - container AeroVac Bin 1.

With a charged battery, the robot diligently works for 60 minutes, after which it automatically returns to the charging station. For the next session, he needs to charge a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh.

Controlled by iRobot Roomba 606 using the buttons located on the case.

Among the advantages of this model, the owners name fast charging, reliability and excellent cleaning results - thanks to the electric brush, the robot is able to collect even animal hair. Users also respond positively to the build quality.

As for the minuses, here in the first place is poor equipment - there is no magnetic tape to limit the area to be processed, there is no control panel. The downside is the rather noisy operation of the vacuum cleaner.

TOP-8: Polaris PVCR 0225D

Description

The Polaris vacuum cleaner will perform dry cleaning for a person qualitatively and quickly. The difference between the model is a capacious compartment for debris, so you need to clean it less often.

Thanks to the equipment of the vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, Polaris retains dust microparticles by almost 100%, thanks to which it successfully copes with allergens (dandruff and pet hair, plant pollen, fungal spores, etc., which is important for allergy sufferers.

Charger

The battery powered Polaris vacuum cleaner is capable of continuous operation for 1.5 hours. This is possible thanks to a high-capacity battery - 2200 mAh. The fact that the Polaris charge level is approaching a critical level of 25% is indicated by an indicator on the top panel. That means it's time to head back to base and recharge. The replenishment of energy lasts 2.5 hours.

Peculiarities

• The functional perfection of the model is provided by:
• dust bag full indicator;
• digital display;

• timer;

Alternatives:

Handheld vacuum cleaner Bosch BBH73260K

Bosch Athlet BBH73260K with its price tag of about 23,000 rubles makes a very good impression. Both battery life and suction power are very good here.

In addition, the device is equipped with a practical carrying strap, which is a great help if one day you decide to vacuum longer surfaces not only on the floor.

Dyson V10 Cyclone Absolute

The Dyson V10 Cyclone Absolute has a charged battery that lasts long enough to finish cleaning the apartment. It is convenient to operate the vacuum cleaner, and the weight is so well balanced that it does not cause any muscle pain afterwards.

The only drawbacks are the extremely high cost - about 45,000 rubles, unpleasant noise at high power and a couple of minor annoying flaws.

Choosing a vacuum cleaner: which dust collector is better?

Robot functionality

The model supports five cleaning modes:

Auto. The movement of the vacuum cleaner in a straight line, when colliding with furniture or other objects, the unit changes the direction vector. Cleaning continues until the battery is discharged, after which the vacuum cleaner returns to the base. Mode selection is possible in two ways: the "Auto" button on the robot panel, "Clean" - on the remote control.

Manual. Remote control of the autonomous assistant. You can manually direct the device to the most polluted areas - the remote control has "left" / "right" buttons.

Along the walls

Working in this mode, the robot pays special attention to the corners. The unit moves along four walls.

Local

The circular movement of the vacuum cleaner, the range of intensive cleaning is 0.5-1 m. You can move the robot to a contaminated area or direct it using the remote control, and then press the button with the spiral icon.

Time limit. Suitable for cleaning one room or compact apartments. PVC 0726W performs a normal pass in automatic mode, the work limit is 30 minutes.

To select the last function, you must double-click on the "Auto" button on the instrument case or "Clean" on the remote control.

Additionally, you can schedule a daily cleaning time using the "Plan" button. When the timer is set, the unit will automatically turn on at the set time.

Real operating time with and without electric brush

Polaris specifies that the battery should last approximately 25 minutes of cleaning with the electric brush on and 40 minutes without it. Our copy turned out to be more enduring and honestly worked with a brush for 35 minutes, and without a brush it lasted for 45 minutes. We turned it off forcibly after the charge indicator started flashing.The time of the first battery charge was 5 hours, the second - 3 hours 10 minutes. When charging is complete, the indicator stops flashing and goes out.

Portable vacuum cleaner Polaris PVCS 0922HR: removable battery. For long-term cleaning in the service center, you can order a spare

In the instructions for Polaris PVCS 0922HR, the manufacturer recommends not interrupting the charging process and always fully charge the battery. The same applies to the discharge - discharge completely and then put on charge. Such recommendations are usually given for Ni-Mh batteries to avoid memory effect and decrease in battery capacity. But our model uses a Li-Ion battery, which should allow the use of both partial charging and partial discharge. Therefore, the manufacturer's recommendations look strange.

Functionality

The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with infrared sensors against collision with surrounding obstacles and against falling when a height difference occurs. Sensors allow the robot to change the direction of movement in time; soft-touch bumper serves as additional protection for the body and surrounding objects.

What can you say about how the Polaris PVCR 1020 Fusion PRO robot vacuum cleans? The machine is intended only for dry cleaning of all types of flooring with two side brushes and a central electric brush with its own motor. The installed dust collector holds up to 500 milliliters of dirt and dust. The waste bin is equipped with a primary cleaning filter, as well as a HEPA filter, which ensures maximum trapping of bacteria and allergens, making the air in the rooms fresher and cleaner.

Overview of operating modes Polaris PVCR 1020 Fusion PRO:

• automatic - the main mode in which the robot cleans the entire cleaning area until the battery is discharged;
• local - the vacuum cleaner cleans in this mode a small area with the greatest pollution, making spiral movements;
• maximum - in it the robot vacuum cleaner works with increased suction power;
• along the perimeter - cleaning rooms strictly along walls and furniture, as well as cleaning corners;
• fast - half an hour cleaning of the room, recommended for small rooms.

In addition to the main button on the case, Polaris PVCR 1020 Fusion PRO can be controlled remotely from an infrared remote control. Using the buttons on the remote control, the user will be able to set the start time of cleaning on the timer, after correctly setting the current time. When the timer is set, the robot cleaner will start automatically at the set time every day.

Comparison of PVC 0726W with other Polaris robots

The model under consideration belongs to the goods of the middle price category. The Polaris line of robotic vacuum cleaners has budget representatives and more expensive products.

Competitive advantages of the 0726W vacuum cleaner in comparison with cheap robot vacuum cleaners:

• increased volume of the dust collector - from 0.2 to 0.5 l;
• improved battery parameters: PVCR 0410 uses a Ni-MH battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh, and PVCR 1012U uses a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of over 2000 mAh;
• duration of the program - the maximum time of continuous operation of budget models is 55 minutes;
• advanced functionality - the presented units of the PVCR series are not intended for wet cleaning, they cannot be programmed and controlled by remote control vacuum cleaners.

The more expensive model 0920WF Rufer outperforms Polaris PVC 0726W in terms of the following indicators: the presence of a "virtual wall", an additional mode - Zig-Zag movement, equipment with an informative display.

However, the 0920WF Rufer has a less capacious battery (2000 mAh), the operating time is 100 minutes. Estimated cost - 370 USD.

Technical properties of the home appliance

The robot is programmed for dry floor cleaning and wet mopping. It has the following technical parameters:

• volume of a compartment for garbage: 0,5 l;
• control: remote control;
• station setting: automatic;
• suction power: 22 W;
• power consumption: 25 W;
• operating modes: 5;
• there are sound and light alerts;
• noise: 60 dB.

It receives power from a battery Li-Ion with a capacity of 2600 mAh. Independently running for 200 minutes. Charging takes about 300 minutes.
No matter how attractive the design of the vacuum cleaner is, the selection should be based on the technical specifications declared by the manufacturer.
Among them there are exact parameters, for example, dimensions, and average values ​​​​identified during testing, such as working hours. For convenience, a comparison of the capabilities of the PVC 0826 model with representatives of competitive brands would like to present a table.

Here are the key characteristics that are important to the user. For example, one of the key properties of robotic vacuum cleaners is considered to be the maximum possible cleaning time - for PVC 0826 it will be about 200 minutes

By the way, the actual battery capacity and long operating time made it a top-end and made it possible to take first place in the ratings of household robotics in 2017.

This parameter is not indicated in the table as a noise level - it is equal to 60 dB.The criterion is considered average for this kind of devices - you can find quieter and louder models on sale. In terms of sound perception, 60 dB is quite appropriate to compare with loud conversational speech.

Because the noise is monotonous and only occasionally changes intonation, for example, when changing the floor covering or when colliding with furniture items, it is considered background and makes it possible to work or do homework calmly
Charging is done in two ways, like most modern cleaning robots. The key device for recharging is considered to be a docking station - a stationary device, in most cases having a permanent place.
The smart vacuum cleaner is programmed to return to the station on its own when the battery is completely discharged. Therefore, it must be installed in a comfortable place for the entrance of equipment. In addition to the station, the kit includes a network adapter, which is lightweight and easy to carry. If necessary, use a regular socket and charge the vacuum cleaner from a 220 V network.
This is convenient when you need to clean a room where there is no station directly connected to the network, or just in a different house.
