The modern representative of the Kitfort family of robotic vacuum cleaners is the KT-532 model. It is not equipped with a turbo brush, which makes it the best choice for pet lovers - the wool does not wrap around the brush and does not stop the operation of the vacuum cleaner. For hard surfaces, a removable module with a napkin and a water tank has been added. Budget robot cost - 11...

Appearance
The body is painted in a rich, eye-pleasing dark blue color, the correct round shape, compact size, passes under objects and cleans debris under them. On the top of the case there is a lid of the compartment compartment for collecting litter, a control panel with 3 buttons on it, a signal receiver protruding slightly above the case in the IR range.
On the side there is a bumper with obstacle detection sensors, on the back of the ventilation holes, a direct charge socket. At the bottom there are driving wheels, a front roller for maneuvering, here are the mounting contacts on the charging station, side brushes, and a suction hole. The start button is located at the bottom, as well as the battery compartment, the differential height sensor, and the module connection connectors for wet cleaning.
Functional
The touch panel on the housing cover shows the state of the cleaner and the current mode of its operation. The absence of a turbo brush is not noticed during operation, its function is successfully performed by side brushes, cleaning out hard-to-reach spaces and open areas. The suction power is lower than that of competitors, but sufficient for cleaning homes with simple lint-free surfaces.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a container for collecting garbage of a relatively large size - 400 ml. Enough for one cleaning, it is better to clean the tank after each start. The container is easy to dismantle, it can be washed using water. The robot works effectively on tiles, linoleum, laminate. To start wet cleaning, a special washing unit is installed on the bottom, the container is filled with water and the vacuum cleaner is started.
It works in the following modes:
- Auto - it is started by the corresponding button on the remote control, working in this mode, the vacuum cleaner cleans all available places along the optimal trajectory, which is determined by itself from the information received from the sensors.
- Along walls - moves along vertical surfaces - walls and interior items, the mode is started by pressing the "Edge" button.
- Random - it is launched by the “Random” button, the robot moves with a snake, then in accordance with the information received from the sensors.
- Local - activated by the "Spot" button on the body. The mode can be activated by the vacuum cleaner on its own, if heavy contamination was detected during automatic mode. The movement is carried out in a spiral in an area of not more than 1 sq.m.
