The iLife A4s robot vacuum cleaner is introduced by Chuwi, a Chinese company. Refers to the model range of home cleaners in the budget price range. It is intended for cleaning dry debris, hair and animal hair from any floor covering. Compared with its predecessor (iLife A4), the device has increased battery life and a new mode has been added. In the review, we consider the features of the device and its technical data.
Appearance
The vacuum cleaner has a round shape with a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 7.5 cm. It weighs 2.2 kg. The case is made of high quality plastic. On the upper part there is a metal trim plate. On top is a dust collector cover and an automatic mode start button. The side surface is equipped with a soft touch bumper with built-in sensors that respond to obstacles. Next is the place where the power adapter is connected for charging from the mains, the on / off button of the device and the blow hole. On the bottom of the robot are:
- two leading side wheels;
- small front wheel for cornering;
- two side brushes;
- central turbo brush;
- dust intake hole;
- transparent bottom of the litter box;
- sensors that detect changes in height;
- contact for installation on the base.
Specifications
The technical parameters of the device are as follows:
- cleaning area: 180-200 sq.m;
- dust collector type: cyclone filter;
- garbage container capacity: 450 ml;
- management: remote control;
- base installation: automatic;
- suction power: 1000 Pa;
- power consumption: 24 W;
- noise: 65 dB.
On a single charge, the iLife A4s runs 180-200 minutes. This provides a 2600 mAh Li-Ion battery. Charges for 4.5 hours.
Functionality
The robot efficiently collects dry debris from any smooth surface and even from low pile carpets. He is able to perform such work, thanks to a turbo brush with spiral-shaped bristles and high suction power. Garbage enters the dust collector, where it undergoes triple filtration. Initially, large particles of dust are held up by a coarse strainer, smaller ones reach the foam barrier and the fine filter completes its work, completely blocking the garbage outlet. The vacuum cleaner works in the following modes:
- Auto. The device moves throughout the room, avoiding obstacles. It works until the battery is discharged, after which it follows to the base.
- Local. The device must be installed on a heavily contaminated area of no more than a square meter. He begins to clean, moving in a spiral.
- Around the perimeter. The device collects dust only in corners and near walls.
- Turbo mode. Cleaning at maximum suction power. Designed for cleaning carpets or to reduce operating time.
- Mini room. Designed for cleaning just one room or small room.
The device is controlled by a remote control and a mechanical button on the case.A clear movement of the vacuum cleaner is provided by infrared sensors that detect obstacles and changes in height. The robot is equipped with LED indicators and sound signals. It is possible to set the cleaning day and convenient time with the vacuum cleaner turning on automatically at the indicated moment.
Equipment
The delivery set is represented by such elements:
- robot;
- charging station;
- power adapter;
- remote control with batteries;
- additional side brushes;
- spare HEPA filter and cloth;
- a brush to clean the garbage container;
- instruction.
Advantages and disadvantages
iLife A4s has several advantages:
- modern design;
- compact sizes;
- optimal number of work programs;
- effective cleaning of various floor coverings with the removal of hair and animal hair;
- powerful suction force with the possibility of its increase;
- planning the day and time of cleaning;
- automatic return to base.
Disadvantages:
- lack of a virtual wall;
- high noise level during turbo mode;
- somewhat chaotic movement in auto mode;
- It is required to prepare the floor for work by removing excess objects.
The cost of the device is , which is democratic enough for the declared functionality. The expected absence of navigation systems, the ability to build a room map or control from a smartphone do not spoil the impression of a robot in any way due to a fairly high-quality cleaning.
