In the new Roomba 895 model, the company tried to take into account all the mistakes made with its predecessor, the 800 model. The latest technologies that managed to appear in the field of household intelligent appliances were used to create the model. According to the manufacturer, the robot combines power, design, cleaning capabilities and intelligence. Is this so, this review will analyze.

Design
The body of the robot has the standard shape of a regular circle. The center is a pinkish circle, the rest of the case is made in black colors. In the middle is a button for control from the housing. On the side of the bin, an air vent.
At the bottom are two powerful driving wheels with a deep tread and a small size guide roller. The side brush is only one, enough for cleaning garbage even in hard-to-reach places. In the center there is an air intake hole and trash collecting rollers. The sensors necessary for navigation and station search are scattered throughout the building.
Functional
The robot is controlled through the application. It connects to a Wi-Fi network, due to which commands can be issued without being at home. Cleaning is carried out fully automatically. The vacuum cleaner works with any type of coating - wooden floor, laminate or carpets. You can start the device by pressing a button on the case or in the application. To start scheduled cleaning, use the Auto function. The report on the cleaning and condition of the robot at the moment can be viewed in the application. During operation, the device notifies about its actions with voice messages in English.
Garbage collection is carried out with side brushes that clean the litter from corners and inaccessible places and direct it to the suction hole. Through the hole, the litter enters a container where fine particles traps the HEPA filter. Unlike most models, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with two rubber rollers moving in different directions. Scrapers are placed on their ribs for more efficient operation.
Efficiency
The movement of the model is chaotic and unpredictable. When observing a vacuum cleaner, it is impossible to trace a clear path built by him; he simply moves through the room, bypassing the obstacles encountered on the way. Maneuvering from obstacles at a high level.
The chaotic movement does not affect the quality of cleaning, the robot copes with this task quite effectively, but increases the cleaning time.As a result, the device took one hour for a medium-sized room. For comparison, a vacuum cleaner with a sophisticated navigation system cleans the same room in 20 minutes.
The vacuum cleaner has a high permeability. He overcomes small obstacles - door sills, wires, etc., and stubbornly moves forward. The maximum obstacle height for the device is 17 mm. In terms of efficiency, it competes even with models from the manufacturer's line with a 50% higher price tag. In testing, the Roomba 895 collected 44% of the scattered litter, while the Roomba 980, which costs twice as much, only 42%.
There is a pollution sensor on the body that detects the most polluted areas and pays the most attention to them. Upon arrival at such an area, the device turns on the Spot intensive cleaning mode.
Advantages and disadvantages
Based on the review and customer reviews, the following advantages of the model can be called:
- Relatively low price.
- High suction power.
- Wi-Fi control.
- Silicone rollers moving in different directions.
- Low height.
The vacuum cleaner also has disadvantages:
- Does not map the room and moves erratically.
- There is no remote control included.
