Review of the robot vacuum cleaner Polaris PVCR 1126W: a stylish workaholic - representative of the Limited Collection

The main criteria for choosing a vacuum cleaner

The principles for selecting cleaning home appliances are the same for all manufacturers. Before buying, you need to decide on the type of vacuum cleaner, the preferred dust collector option, the required power and the filtration system.

Features of different devices

First of all, you need to choose the optimal type of vacuum cleaner. All variety is divided into three categories: cylindrical, vertical and robotic vacuum cleaners.

Traditional vacuum cleaners with a hose remain at the peak of popularity. Their main advantages: high power, versatility, reliability and loyal pricing policy.

Cons of operation: bulky equipment, the need to control the position of the wire, increased power consumption

These shortcomings are deprived of vertical models of autonomous action. A small cylindrical body is attached to a handle with a nozzle. The close location of the engine to the brush allows you to use low-power motors, so portable units are considered energy efficient.

Cons of upright vacuum cleaners:

• high noise level;
• despite their compactness, some models are quite heavy;
• small dustbin.

Robotic technology is fundamentally different from previous vacuum cleaners. Modern units are able to clean the house without human intervention. Devices are programmed to work in different modes. The latest generation of premium models can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi.

The main disadvantage of robots is their high cost. Vacuum cleaners of an affordable price category have insufficient power and do not always cope with cleaning wool, cleaning carpets

When choosing the type of device, it is necessary to compare the purchase budget and the expected operating conditions.

What is the best dust collector?

The efficiency of operation, power and the degree of dust retention are largely determined by the principle of dust collection.

There are three options:

1. Bag vacuum cleaners. Such devices are cheaper, have high power and relative compactness. Cons: the need to buy replacement bags, loss of traction when filling the tank.
2. Cyclones. Main advantages: stable suction power, no need to renew the dust collector. Cons: gradual clogging of pump filters and their replacement, increased noise level, accumulation of static electricity. The cyclone container requires regular cleaning.
3. Aqua filters. Hydro units clean the air better and partially humidify it. An additional plus is that you do not need to spend money on consumables.Disadvantages: bulky, the need to add water during cleaning, high cost, laborious maintenance.

There are no models with aqua filters in the Polaris product line. A wide range of bag units are presented at an affordable price.

More about the principle of operation vacuum cleaners of various designs read on.

Cyclone dust collectors are equipped with all robot vacuum cleaners and vertical portable devices. The same technology is implemented in a series of cylindrical units of the brand

Motor power and suction power

It is the traction that determines the effectiveness of cleaning. For household appliances, an indicator of 320-350 W is sufficient under standard operating conditions.

In some cases, an individual approach is required:

1. For allergy sufferers, it is better to take a vacuum cleaner with maximum traction - about 450-500 watts.
2. If there are no carpets in the apartment, then low-power models are suitable - up to 300-350 watts.
3. In a house with pets, numerous carpets - 400-450 watts.

A power reserve should be provided. As the garbage container fills up, the thrust drops by 10-30%.

Accounting for additional parameters

In addition to the indicated criteria, one should take into account: the degree of filtration, the noise level, the equipment, the volume of the tank and the convenience of the handle.

HEPA filters provide a high degree of purification. The barrier keeps up to 95% of dust inside the container. Almost all Polaris models are equipped with such elements.

The acceptable noise level of a household vacuum cleaner is 70-72 dB. Robotic devices can boast of a smaller indicator.

The dimensions of the device and the duration of operation without cleaning the tank depend on the volume of the container. The rule should be followed: the larger the room, the larger the dust collector should be.

Of the nozzles, it is desirable to have a universal brush and a crevice accessory.Turbo brush shows excellent results - suitable for cleaning carpets, collecting wool

It is desirable that the power switch button be located on the handle. The user does not have to lean towards the body during cleaning.

Top 10: Polaris PVCR 0325D

Description

Polaris robot vacuum cleaner PVCR, in the TOP-10 in last place, is produced by a Korean manufacturer. It is distinguished by individual design and good technical performance. Such a Polaris robot can not only make life easier, but also complement the aesthetics of the home.

For the inhabitants of the house, the robotic vacuum cleaner Polaris PVCC is absolutely not dangerous. A system of infrared sensors helps her navigate in space and not fall from a height. And overheating is prevented by temperature sensors that monitor the operating temperature and turn off the gadget if the permissible value is exceeded.

Cleaning types

The Polaris robot performs three types of cleaning and can switch between them depending on the area:

• normal (in free roam mode);
• in a spiral;
• along the perimeter.

Having removed the free space, the smart gadget goes under cabinets, bedside tables, beds. If by chance Polaris gets stuck there, it will beep.

You can charge Polaris, like most of its analogues, through a charging station and from a household network (directly). In the first case, it is not necessary to turn off the robot, in the second case it is necessary.

If during the operation of the device, the battery is discharged to 25 percent (the indicator allows you to control the charge), the cleaning will be interrupted, and the robot will go on its own to replenish the charge to the station, which must be installed in such a way that it has free access from anywhere in the apartment ( in front, the free space should be 3 meters, on both sides - 1.5 each.

Service

The dust container must be cleaned regularly (ideally after each cycle). Do not turn on the robot if there are heating objects nearby to avoid overheating. Contact of Polaris with moisture is undesirable. In order to avoid breakage of the side brushes, they must be removed when cleaning carpets (even with a small pile).

Main characteristics

• Cleaning - dry;
• The duration of the autonomous cycle is up to 2 hours;
• Duration of replenishment with energy - 3 hours;
• The volume of the container for collecting dust with a fill indicator is 600 ml;
• Noise - approximately 65 dB;
• Suction - up to 25 W;
• HEPA filter;
• Li-ion battery capacity 2200 mAh;
• The size of the area removed on a full charge is 30 squares;
• Weight - 3.38 kg;
• Size - 34.4x8.2 cm.

pros

• perfectly cleans corners, thanks to retractable side brushes;
• to achieve a better result, the robot switches from one type of cleaning to another in automatic mode;
• high degree of purification provided by the HEPA filter;
• good build.

Equipment

The Polaris robotic vacuum cleaner comes in a beautiful branded package, which contains a photo of the device itself, as well as an overview of its main advantages.

The basic package includes:

1. The robot vacuum cleaner.
2. Charging base.
3. Power Supply.

Complete set of the Polaris robot

As we can see, the composition is quite diverse, but the components do not include a motion limiter in the form of a magnetic tape or a virtual wall, which is a minus.

User rating - the pros and cons of a vacuum cleaner

Polaris PVC 0726W is in demand among consumers due to its loyal pricing policy and the conformity of the product to the declared characteristics. The robot copes with the tasks, so most users respond positively to the model.

Main arguments in favor of PVC 0726W:

1. Duration of work. The robot is a universal assistant. The model is recommended for cleaning small apartments and spacious houses. In one run, the vacuum cleaner is able to clean up to 150-170 sq.m.
2. Moderate noise. The work cannot be called silent, but being in the next room, the functioning unit is almost inaudible.
3. High quality cleaning. There are no complaints about the effectiveness of cleaning from users. The tests-drives carried out showed good results: in 30 minutes the device cleans 93% of garbage, in 2 hours - 97%.
4. Ease of maintenance. Thanks to the capacious dust collector, it is not necessary to empty the container from garbage very often. The tank is easy to take out and put back in.
5. Ease of control. The kit includes a Russian-language manual with a clear description and instructions for using the robot. There are no management issues.

An added bonus is good parking. When the charge level drops to a minimum, the unit quickly finds the station. The robot parks without problems the first time, without shifting the base.

PVC 0726W also works well for wiping floors.After cleaning, the rag is evenly soiled, which means that the pressing force is the same over the entire area of ​​​​the napkin

Users have identified a number of shortcomings in the work of the robot:

1. Long battery life. The vacuum cleaner needs about 5 hours to restore its working capacity.
2. The need for surface preparation. The unit does not have sensors against winding wires, so before starting it is necessary to check the room for scattered extension cords, ribbons, etc. Some note that the robot can drive under the raised corners of linoleum and carpets.
3. Rubbish in the corners. Despite the special mode of movement along the wall and the presence of side brushes, the vacuum cleaner does not completely clean hard-to-reach places.
4. Jamming under furniture. Due to its compactness and low height, the unit climbs under the refrigerator and cabinets. If space allows, the robot moves freely and leaves, but sometimes it gets stuck. Once in a deadlock situation, the vacuum cleaner automatically turns off.

Some users lack the "virtual wall" module and the display of battery level information.

User manual

Before use, turn on the power using the mechanical toggle switch located on the end of the case. When using the product, the difference in the design of the side brushes is taken into account; the letters L and R are marked on the part bodies, similar letters are on the robot body. installable for equipment water tank provides wet cleaning for 30 minutes. It is strictly forbidden to use the device without a dust container.

The choice of the cleaning mode is made by the buttons located on the remote control.The LCD screen allows you to program the current time and timer value. In the center of the remote are 4 keys that allow you to manually change the direction of the robot. By pressing the keys, the product is brought to the contamination zone, then the user acts on the local cleaning button. The product begins to move along a diverging spiral path, removing debris from the floor surface.

To clean the equipment, it is necessary to remove the container by pressing the lock release button. The top cover of the hopper is the body of the air filters, the dust is collected in the bottom pan of the flask. The regular Hepa filter is washed with water after 2 weeks of operation, the manufacturer recommends changing the part 2 times a year. The washed elements are dried before reassembly until traces of moisture are completely removed. Protective glasses of sensors are wiped with a napkin after each cleaning. The central brush is dismantled from the housing by removing the mounting frame.

Advantages and disadvantages

At the end of the review, we highlight the main pros and cons of the Polaris PVCR 1020 Fusion PRO, which we managed to find.

Pros:

1. Affordable price.
2. Nice appearance.
3. Compact dimensions.
4. Good equipment.
5. Several operating modes.
