1 Philips FC6168

The most technological
Country: Netherlands (made in China)
Average price: 9 990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Heads the top three wireless vacuum cleaner from Philips. This model uses the most modern technological solutions. And first of all, this means the presence of a Li-Ion battery, with which the vacuum cleaner lives for about 40 minutes from a single charge. It seems nothing unusual, but competitors still have NiMH batteries that provide not the best performance. With the rest, the FC 6168 is also doing well - high suction power for this class, comfortable and eye-catching design.

Advantages:

• Battery life up to 40 minutes. Charging time - 5 hours
• Rich equipment: crevice and dust nozzles, turbo brush
• Lowest weight - only 2.9 kg
• Has a fine filter

Ergonomic design
Country: Germany (produced in China)
Average price: 10,263 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.1

As good as the wireless vacuum cleaner from Bosch was in the previous category, the representative in the 2 in 1 class is just as bad. Its power is approximately at the same level as its competitors, and the ergonomics are good, but the rest ... Using a NiMH battery does not allow for great battery life, and it takes 16 (!) Hours to charge. And this is in view of the fact that there is no docking station. Also worth noting is the very small volume of the dust collector. In general, BBH 21621 can only be recommended as a device for emergency cleaning of light dirt.

Advantages:

• Power regulator on the body
• Good maneuverability

Flaws:

• Very long charging time - 16 hours
• Small dust container capacity - only 0.3 l
• poor equipment

Some models of vacuum cleaners are equipped with LCD- the display showing power level and other indicators. Electronic power control can be represented by several options:
   • wired control;
   • infrared control;
   • radio control;
2. Nozzles. With their help, you can significantly expand the functionality of the unit. There are several main nozzles for vacuum cleaners:
   • crevice (narrow) nozzle. It is recommended for work in hard-to-reach places. This nozzle is well suited for cleaning along the baseboard and between the ventilation holes;
   • universal. This nozzle is equipped with a floor/carpet switch that can be used to extend and hide the bristles. It is well suited for cleaning floors and carpets;

Functionality

How does the VITEK VT-1803 orient itself in space? All thanks to five pairs of built-in infrared obstacle sensors and four pairs of infrared altitude difference sensors. There is no other navigation technology in the robot.

Cleaning is carried out by the robot vacuum cleaner with two side brushes, sweeping debris to the center of the suction nozzle, through which it is sent to the trash can. It is recommended to empty the container after each cycle, as it fills up quickly due to the small capacity.

The VITEK VT-1803 model supports the following operating modes:

• automatic - the formation of the route and cleaning is done by a vacuum cleaner at its discretion, using a combination of several types of movement;
• along the perimeter - the robot vacuum cleaner moves along the walls, and also cleans in the corners;
• zigzag - moving along zigzag trajectories between obstacles throughout the available territory;
• manual.

Trajectories

The modes are switched using the remote control, or in the Tuya Smart APP mobile application for smartphones with the Android or iOS operating system. In addition to the working mode in the application, you can activate the robot vacuum cleaner, force it to the charging base, set a schedule and set a timer.

App control

Separately, I want to say about wet cleaning. The water tank itself is built into the bin, so the volume of both is very small. Water enters the fluffy cloth, which is installed on the bottom of the VITEK VT-1803. Wetting is not too intense, so most likely you will have to additionally moisten the cloth manually. The cloth is not made of microfiber, it does not collect fine particles of dust, lint and sand well enough.

The volume of the dust collector is 450 milliliters. This is not too much, so it is necessary to clean it of debris after almost every cleaning cycle.

Operating modes provided in VITEK VT-1804:
