Appearance
The design meets the corporate identity, has the shape of the right circle. Most of the case is made of glossy plastic, the parts necessary for the functionality are made of silver material. Top cover made of tempered glass - this feature is typical for almost all models from the manufacturer.
On the cover there is a mechanical button for controlling the robot without using a remote control. There is also a camera that helps in building a map of the room. On the bottom of the key to remove the dust bag, it extends on the side. There are two filters in the container - for the first cleaning of large particles and a HEPA filter, the system is supplemented with a porous sponge.
On the front of the mechanical bumper, fixed with play. Behind him are IR sensors. Around the circumference of the side, there are air vents, a power connection jack, a start and stop button for the vacuum cleaner.
At the bottom, a pair of large driving wheels are mounted on a powerful suspension, with it the vacuum cleaner easily passes small elevations, a front roller, side brushes in the amount of two pieces and a central one with fasteners. There are also contacts for installation on a charging station, a battery cover, height difference sensors.
Functional
iLife A8 works in the following main modes:
- Auto Installed by default. Starting work, the vacuum cleaner passes along the zigzag trajectory, the movement pattern is determined by automation based on the information obtained during the study of the room by the camera and sensors. The processor saves information about areas where cleaning has already been carried out, the robot does not go through the same place several times, which saves battery power and reduces usage time.
- By points - local or local mode. Used to clean a particular contaminated area. To start cleaning, the vacuum cleaner is installed at the desired point manually. At startup, it begins to move in a spiral, increasing the radius of motion. After cleaning, returns to the starting point.
- Along the perimeter - movement along vertical surfaces with the collection of litter in the corners.
- Maximum - increased suction power, increases efficiency on difficult to clean surfaces. In this mode, the battery consumption and noise level are increased.
A manual control system is provided, for this, an IR transmitter is provided in the remote control, directing the vacuum cleaner to the points the user needs. Start programming is available, it is carried out by the timer at a specified time.
Voice alert function - the robot reports its current status. When the battery is critically low, it returns to the charging station on its own, at the end of the charge continues to clean from the point at which it stopped.
Advantages and disadvantages
Based on the review, we can distinguish such advantages of the A8 model:
- Compact size.
- High-quality performance of the case and all components.
- Sophisticated navigation system.
- All necessary operating modes.
- Two turbo brushes with different parameters for different types of cleaning.
- Capacious battery.
- Indication of light and sound.
- Equipment.
- Sustainable Docking Station.
- Resumption of work after a charge.
Minuses:
- A small container for collecting garbage.
- Does not clean the area around the charging station.
- There is no movement limiter in the kit.
- Easily soiled body.
