The new robot vacuum cleaner V50 Pro from the Chinese company ILIFE appeared on the market in spring years and in a short period of time managed to take its rightful place among other models. Designed for dry cleaning of hard flooring, including parquet, tile, linoleum, laminate, wooden floor. The model has several modes of operation, an excellent filtration system, a large-capacity battery, and a remote control. Details about the features and characteristics of this gadget I will tell in my review.
Appearance
Externally, the device does not stand out from the similar models. The robot vacuum cleaner is round in shape, the top is made of pink plastic, and the sides are painted white. In size, it is within the normal range: diameter - 348 mm, height - 92 mm, and weight 2.7 kg. On top of the case are one mechanical power button and dust chamber cover. On the sides of the iLife V50 Pro there is a protective bumper, a socket for connecting a power adapter, and ventilation holes. Four pairs of sensors are installed to prevent collisions with surrounding objects. At the bottom are driving wheels, a roller for turns in the front, two side brushes, a suction hole in the center, a battery compartment. Below there are four pairs of sensors responsible for falling from a height.
Functionality
The functionality of this vacuum cleaner is quite diverse. It has 5 operating modes:
- auto;
- zigzag (snake);
- point;
- along the perimeter;
- manual.
A brushless motor is installed, which runs very quietly. The noise level is 52 dB, the suction power - up to 500 Pa in automatic mode and up to 1000 Pa - at maximum. There is a very convenient function for setting the schedule for the automatic launch of the robot for a week in advance. In this mode, the cleaning time will be the same daily. Unfortunately, it is impossible to set different times depending on the day of the week. The transparent trash bin has a volume of 300 ml.
The model has 2 filters: the first - to filter the largest particles of debris, wool, hair, the second - HEPA-filter - to hold the smallest dust from the air. One of the "chips" of this model, according to manufacturers, will be gyroscopic navigation, but in reality it has proved to be an unreliable system. At the first touch on the furniture, the robot vacuum cleaner begins to clean randomly and does not return to the specified route. I want to note the battery charge volume - 2600 Ma * h, this is a good indicator for budget equipment. His vacuum cleaner is enough for 120 minutes of work without a break, a full battery charge will take 300 minutes. The device can clean a large area - 140 m2able to overcome obstacles 13 mm high. Has fall protection and collision protection.
Equipment
The robot is packed very carefully and well - in 2 boxes.The first is protective cardboard, and the second is branded white, on which the image of the vacuum cleaner flaunts, its characteristics and functions are given. Inside the box:
- Vacuum cleaner.
- Charging Dock.
- IR remote control.
- Power adapter.
- Brush for cleaning.
- Additional filter (1 pc.).
- Spare side brushes (2 pcs.).
- User's manual.
- Warranty card.
I will say from my experience: this is a fairly good factory kit, which is not provided for many other similar models from other manufacturers.
Advantages and disadvantages
Benefits:
- Attractive design.
- Good autonomy.
- Small size and weight.
- The ability to adjust the suction power.
- Overcoming obstacles up to 13 mm.
- Large scope of delivery.
- Protection against falls, collisions.
- Gyro navigation function.
Disadvantages:
- The gyro navigation function does not work well.
- Lack of choice of working hours when setting a schedule for the whole week.
- Long battery charge.
- Small amount of dust collector.
- Lack of wet cleaning function.
- Poorly distinguishes between dark colored furniture, constantly collides with it.
Verdict
The Chinese company has a very interesting and functional model that matches its price - ... The vacuum cleaner can clean up to 140 m2, works without recharging for 120 minutes - these are very good indicators for budget equipment. A very important function is the ability to schedule cleaning for the whole week, it is very convenient and practical. The only drawback in this system I would call the absence of a change in time for a particular day. I was disappointed with the disgusting operation of the gyroscopic navigation option, which, apparently, was just a PR move of the company. It remains unclear why the vacuum cleaner very poorly recognizes objects of black and dark color in the room: it constantly beats about them. But still, for myself, I found in this move more pluses than minuses.
