In 2018, a new interesting model from the famous German company Wolking Electronics - Cosmo appeared on the market of robotic cleaners for the house. The universal assistant performs dry, damp cleaning of smooth floor surfaces, can clean carpets with a low soft pile. The technique, like most models of modern household appliances, is controlled by a smartphone through an application, builds a map of the room with laser sensors, and is programmed according to a weekly schedule. The goal of the developers is to create a technique that independently analyzes and makes decisions. What has been successfully implemented in Cosmo, which is able to "think" and "implement" similarly to a person.
The only robot vacuum cleaner with a lifetime warranty.
Specifications
- Dimensions - 370 x 350 x 95 mm. Will go under low sofas, wardrobes. Maneuverable in narrow aisles.
- Light weight - 3.82 kg will allow you to freely carry equipment and carry out manual cleaning of vertical surfaces.
- The battery with a lithium-ion battery 14.8 V and a capacity of 33500 mAh is enough for a full cleaning cycle of a 3-room apartment.
- A powerful vacuum flow of up to 1600 Pa is created thanks to an inverter motor from Japan, Nidec.
- Working power 120 W.
- The volume of the dust collection tank is 0.8 liters.
- Sensors - laser and ultrasonic. Detects objects from a maximum distance of 12 m, a minimum distance of 2 mm.
- Controlling equipment using the buttons of the body or through a special application downloaded to a smartphone.
- Works autonomously on a fully charged battery for 2 hours.
- It takes 3 hours to recharge.
- The maximum working size of the cleaning area is 200 m2.
- Performs 2400 measurements per minute. Builds the best route. Cleans the surface in one room and only then moves to the next.
- The room is viewed at an angle of 3600. Determines the size and distance of objects, distinguishes between animals on the floor, does not collide with them. Makes a stop before reaching 2 mm.
- 36 servers and sensors, 3 Allwinner quad-core processors.
- Noise level up to 35 dB. Working equipment will not interfere with listening to music, watching movies.
Appearance
German engineers have created a device with a laconic yet sophisticated design. The first visual impression of a robotic vacuum cleaner is a miniature disk of an alien ship. A laser radar is built in the top of the case strictly in the center. With its help, navigation of movement around the apartment is determined and a map is built. Here, next to the radar, there is a company logo, a charge indicator and a single button for controlling equipment.
Durable plastic housing in black and steel. Square shape with rounded edges for easy cleaning in corners.
On the front panel there is a movable bumper shock sensor, ultrasonic sensors. In the back there are charging contacts, support brackets, ventilation holes.
Let's turn the gadget over and consider what is located on the bottom. There are two side brushes that work independently of each other. Button on / off, drive, optional and swivel wheels. Built-in height sensor to prevent the device from falling off steps or high thresholds.
Below is a suction hole for dry cleaning.
Unusually located dust collector - bottom. Most floor polisher models have a lid on top. The bottom placement of the lid is more convenient when removing the dust container, there is less chance of scattering the collected garbage.
Below is a disc for microfiber cloths. Water from the reservoir is periodically fed to the napkin and spreads evenly over it. When wet cleaning, the canvas is firmly pressed to the floor surface, wiping even old dirty stains.
The robot cleaner has an alert system and an indicator that reflects the general state of the gadget and informs about possible system errors.
Functionality
- Dry cleaning. Two side brushes, working independently of each other, direct debris, animal hair, hair towards the suction port. The peculiarity of the work of the brushes makes cleaning along the skirting boards, in the corners of high quality. The dust collector is enough for 1 full cycle.
- Wet cleaning. Install a washing block with a microfiber cloth on the bottom. Users note the simplicity of pouring water into the block. You need to open the sealed valve and that’s it. The volume of the tank is enough for 150 m2.
- Charging and navigation. The robotic cleaner has a built-in military-industrial laser radar - lidar. The equipment very accurately and quickly builds a map of the room, remembers the route, and rebuilds it mobile for new data, for example, in case of moving to another apartment. The route is displayed in real time. If the program is installed on a smartphone, the owner can track where the work is finished and where not yet. The charge indicator returns the robot cleaner to the base to recharge when there is less than 15% power remaining. After the charge is restored, the gadget starts from the place where it left off.
- Application. You can download it for Android and iOS. Not all manufacturers provide this opportunity. After downloading, you need to synchronize the program with the equipment via Wi-Fi. Minus - English version only. But there are translations, and the application itself is not complicated and intuitive. With its help, a cleaning schedule is programmed, routing is monitored, power modes are switched, equipment is returned to the base.
