Let's take a closer look at the model robotic vacuum cleaner iLife V7s Plus What are its features and what makes it attractive?

Model Features

Wherein no need for additional change of containers and program changes.

At the same time, the robot can easily overcome obstacles in the form of thresholds and carpets.

And if you need recharging or at the end of cleaning, it is automatically sent to the base.

A vacuum cleaner equipped with a cyclone filter, that is, the dust bag is replaced by a removable container.

Programming of work of the device on days of week is provided.

The model is controlled from the remote control and has several options for delaying the start.

Appearance of the device

iLife V7s Plus Robot Vacuum Cleaner - minimalist model in the traditional form for such devices in the form of a round tablet with a diameter of 34 cm and a height of 8.5 cm.

The plastic case with a top glossy finish in a pleasant powdery pink color, which does not show dust and fingerprints, and side white inserts will especially appeal to hostesses.

On the sides housing is located soft bumper, which bounces when colliding with pieces of furniture to minimize damage to the machine.

The water tank and waste containers are located on the top of the appliance, there is also a touch button for turning on the automatic cleaning mode.

But the button for completely turning off the device is mechanical and is located at the bottomto prevent accidental starting of the vacuum cleaner by pets or children.

The power supply has a compact size and can be connected not only to the docking station, but also directly to the vacuum cleaner (via the connector on the end).

Characteristics

The main characteristics of the device:

The price of the model for the Moscow region varies from 10,900 to 13,000 rubles (according to the Yandex.Market website)

Functionality

If the obstacle is out of the field of view of the sensors, a soft collision is provided by a mechanical sensor and a springy bumper.

Rubberised side wheels with separate drive and long suspension travel allow the device to climb carpets and overcome interior parebriki.

However - like most similar models - the robot will not be able to overcome scattered cables, wires, etc.

In the event of a collision with such obstacles, the vacuum cleaner will urgently stop working and notify you of problems with a sound signal.

The ability to clean both flat floors and carpets is achieved by combining a conventional brush and a special hybrid (rotary) brushes.

As a rule, rotary brushes of similar vacuum cleaners have either hard bristles (for cleaning carpets) or soft rubber combs (for cleaning even surfaces).

Rotary brush This model combines both hard bristles and soft combs, that is, suitable for all types of coatings at the same time.

During wet cleaning, the surface is wiped with a wet cloth, while water is supplied only when the vacuum cleaner is in motion and the volume of water flowing out is strictly dosed by a solenoid valve.

In this mode, the suction motor does not work, but both brushes continue to work, which is enough to pick up moderately large debris, hair and animal hair.

A vacuum cleaner controlled as in automatic mode (by installing the appropriate program), so and manually from the remote.

The suction power of the vacuum cleaner is always maximum and cannot be adjusted.
