Panda X7 is a new product from the manufacturer that has recently entered the market. The country of manufacture of Panda vacuum cleaners is Japan, but the assembly takes place in China. The modern design of the model is complemented by the NIDEC engine, which has twice the power of analogues. In addition, the company has taken an innovative approach by designing the return flow of the blown air upward rather than sideways. In the review, we will take a closer look at features, specifications, advantages and disadvantages.
Appearance
Panda X7 of the usual round shape, in comparison with its predecessors, is smaller in size: 330x330x75 mm. This helps him to drive almost anywhere under furniture. Differs in light weight - 3.3 kg. The color can be black or white. The corrugated surface and matte finish protects it from minor damage and dust accumulation. On the top there is a metallic touch screen control panel. There is also a start / stop button for the vacuum cleaner. There are three warning lights above it:
- display of the current mode;
- Wi-Fi activity;
- an icon with a house, the light of which indicates that the device needs recharging and it is looking for a base.
There is a soft bumper on the side surface to prevent collisions. It also houses optical infrared and ultrasonic sensors that detect obstacles and changes in altitude. There are air outlet holes on the side, as well as a place where the dust container extends for cleaning. If necessary, it can be replaced with a tank for cleaning the surface with a wet rag. On the bottom are located:
- two wheels on the sides;
- one in front;
- two brushes on the sides;
- turbo brush made of lint and silicone;
- rag fasteners;
- contacts for installation on the base;
- accumulator battery.
Specifications
Panda X7 is designed for dust removal and can wipe the floor with a damp cloth. It has the following characteristics:
- work area: 150 sq.m;
- dust collector type: cyclone filter;
- trash can: 600 ml;
- capacity for filling with water: 400 ml;
- power: 1800 Pa;
- noise during operation: 45-50 dB;

The robot has a 2500 mAh LongLife + lithium-ion battery that allows it to operate for 90-120 minutes. It takes 240-300 minutes to fully charge.
Functionality
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a powerful motor, which ensures its high suction capacity, almost 50% higher than the power of analogs (usually the maximum figure is 1200 Pa). It is located in the waste bin and takes up a third of its volume. This performance is quite common, although it causes controversy among experts. Indeed, for wet cleaning, you must insert your compartment, where there is no motor. All these nuances lead to the fact that washing the floor is possible only instead of vacuuming.
The water tank provides for electronic dosing on the rag. When movement is stopped, capillaries that deliver water are blocked. The dust collector is equipped with general and fine filters. Vacuum cleaner operating modes:
- local (for dirty areas);
- quick cleaning;
- spiral movement;
- zigzag;
- around the perimeter.
The control takes place from a smartphone and using a remote control. The navigation system was developed by Epson and is based on the SLAM method. Due to this, the device stores up to 200 sq. m for one cleaning. Moving in a zigzag pattern, the Panda X7 marks areas already harvested and areas to be harvested. It is possible to view the created room maps through a mobile application, as well as plan cleaning times through it and configure other functions.
