The modern model of the manufacturer Clever Panda - iPlus S5 - refers to universal robots used as a vacuum cleaner and able to produce wet cleaning. A feature of this modification is the presence of a removable unit that purifies and ionizes the air, as well as an ultraviolet lamp for cleaning surfaces from bacteria. It features reliable assembly, the ability to control from a smartphone, as well as high power.
Appearance
iPlus S5, like many devices, has a round shape. Dimensions 30x30 cm. The height of the appliance is small (7 cm), which allows it to freely enter under not very low furniture. It features a modern laconic design that does not contradict any type of interior. Made of black plastic. Its weight is 4 kg.
On the upper part of the “tablet” are located touch buttons for setting operating parameters and a display on which the current mode is displayed. On the side of the device, ventilation holes are located around the entire circumference. There are also sensors, night vision devices and elements that provide backlighting.
The robot is equipped with a soft bumper, which is also located on the side surface. It performs a protective function in collisions. The trash bin is removed from the side. Instead, you can install a container of water for wet cleaning surfaces.
On the bottom of the vacuum cleaner are all the elements that provide movement and operation of the device:
- two main wheels and one guide (in front) to provide turns and perform maneuvers;
- on / off button;
- side brushes to direct dust into the dust bag;
- turbo brush for cleaning on carpets and drawing dust into a container;
- fasteners for napkins (for wet cleaning);
- ultraviolet lamp;
- battery compartment;
- contacts for installation on the base.
Specifications
The iPlus S5 robot has the following characteristics:
- area for work: 160-180 sq.m;
- dust collector type: cyclone filter;
- garbage container size: 0.6 l;
- water tank: 0.28 l;
- power: 1600 Pa;
- height of obstacles for passage: 2.5 cm;
- noise level: 55 dB;
- management: remote control, smartphone application;
- the presence of a virtual wall;
- there is an ultraviolet lamp;
- navigation technology "anti-confusion";
- the ability to program modes by day of the week;
- base installation: automatic.
The vacuum cleaner has a capacious battery (3450 mAh) type Li-Pol. On it, it is able to function about 120-150 minutes, depending on the mode of operation. It takes about 210 minutes to fully charge.
Functionality
The iPlus S5 has a brushless inverter compressor. Engine performance is 12,000 rpm, which provides high suction power. It has a new generation processor that provides navigation and control functions.The device is well oriented thanks to the echolocation system. According to some experts, it more effectively prevents shocks and falls than infrared sensors.
The operation of the vacuum cleaner is performed by directing dust and litter with side brushes to the turbo brush, through which they enter the dust collector. The turbo brush with a pile of aluminum has a spiral shape, which prevents tangling of hair, wires, etc. Side brushes have an elongated size, in comparison with earlier counterparts, and prevent the winding of wool on them. The dust collector has three stages of filtration, allowing you to delay dust particles up to 0.03 microns in size:
- air filter;
- carbonic;
- HEPA.
A vacuum cleaner can move along several paths: a spiral, a snake, along walls, between furniture and a polygonal design. It has several work programs:
- Auto. There is a cleaning along a certain route with a call to all inaccessible places.
- Local. Cleaning the most contaminated areas with increased suction power.
- Along the walls. The robot passes along the perimeter of the room, along the baseboards, with the approach to the corners, avoiding obstacles.
The iPlus S5 also has a delay function. Using the programmer, you can set it to turn on automatically at a specific time on a particular day. You can control movements and modes using the remote control or from a smartphone (via Wi-Fi).
When replacing a dust collector with a container of water, the robot performs wet cleaning on any type of surface (tile, laminate, linoleum). To do this, attach a napkin to the bottom. Its width is 28 cm, which allows you to cover almost the entire space under the vacuum cleaner. Water is supplied to it automatically, similarly, excess moisture is removed. Thanks to such opportunities, floor wiping occurs evenly. It remains dry and no stains remain on the surface.
The device is equipped with a removable module that purifies the air. It is equipped with a HEPA-14 filter, which provides high-quality air removal from pollution and its ionization. When passing through the filter, small particles of dust do not fall back into the room. Another functionality of the robot is the removal of microbes from the floor using an ultraviolet lamp, which is located at the bottom.
Equipment
iPlus S5 has a fairly rich package bundle:
- vacuum cleaner;
- Charger;
- network adapter;
- air purification unit;
- water tank;
- spare side brushes;

Advantages and disadvantages
Summarizing the above, we can identify a large number of advantages of the iPlus S5 robot vacuum cleaner:
- nice design;
- compact sizes;
- high suction power;
- capacious battery that provides long autonomous functioning;
- good recognition of furniture and other interior elements;
- three-stage filter, large dust collector;
- several types of work programs;
- the ability to set a schedule of work by day;
- the presence of a module for air purification and ionization;
- obfuscation exception;
- elimination of bacteria (UV lamp);
- high-quality wet wiping of surfaces (automatic supply of water to a rag);
- hair and wool are not wound on the turbo brush and side brushes;
- several ways to adjust and control: buttons on the case, remote control, application on a smartphone.
Considering the disadvantages of the device, it is worth mentioning the main ones that are confirmed by user reviews:
- Does not always find a station upon completion of work;
- the black surface of the floor may not be recognized (does not call on it);
- may not go through dirty areas or stop for no apparent reason.
