ILIFE V5 Intelligent Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Bell'oggettino, ormai lo utilizzo da alcuni mesi, fa il suo dovere e passa dappertutto, nonostante non abbia la funzione di mappatura della casa, passando più volte, dove è già passato, risolve egregiamente i problemi di peli in giro per chi ha cani o gatti.
Il prezzo è a dir poco ridicolo, considerando quello che si trova in giro con le stesse funzioni. Torna alla base quando si sta per scaricare, nonostante voglia la sua stazione di ricarica in un punto accessibile facilmente, io l'ho posizionata dove meglio potevo, raramente l'ho trovato morto da qualche parte, di solito è al suo posto in carica.
Bisogna curarlo, ovvero pulire le spazzole e la vaschetta di raccolta, perchè recupera tutto, ma molto di più di quello che si farebbe con una comune scopa elettrica.
Un problema, penso comune a tutti i robot, è l'altezza dei mobili, ho dovuto creare dei supporti, perchè di incastra sotto il divano o sotto qualche mobile.
Una cosa positiva invece è il suo passaggio sotto al letto, zone che senza, sarebbero inaccessibili. Per me un validissimo aiuto.
Pezzi di ricambio economici, si trovano, sia le spazzole, sia i filtri che la vaschetta qualora si voglia sostituire e anche una base di ricarica se si hanno più piani da pulire, a proposito i sensori evitano le cadute dalle scale.

This in the first robotic vacuum I have owned so I have no comparison. I have about 700sq ft floor area all laminet . The first time I used it after clearing the floor area as per instructions, I followed it around. I had to pickup a few small door mats as the V5 would bunch them up and get stuck. I also learnt that some lamp cords and such, really need to be tucked out of the way or raised up. My bed also had to be lifted a caster height to avoid the unit from getting stuck.
After reading the instructions and that small learning curve we were good to go. the first couple cleanings, I had to empty the unit halfway through. It does a great job at getting the dirt and dust bunnies from under the furniture. I got extra filters and brushes at the time of order. the filters were a good idea,the unit came with spare brushes.
Being a person who does not always take my shoes off at the door, the V5 has done a great job at helping keep my floors clean.
Pros: good pickup, self docking, good coverage, good battery life.
Cons: it has a tough time with small rugs and cluttered areas.can get stuck and just quit (which is better than burning out motors).

My wife is always mopping and sweeping. Almost to a point of obsession for cleanliness. Now that she's 6 months into your pregnancy, it's difficult for her to get on her knees. So I got this little guy for her. At first she was doubtful. But after I've read all the instructions, and got everything setup, she's impressed. Right out of the box, without charging, it was able to do a 30 minutes demo of what it can do. We've tested out our entire flood, even where the adjacent room is slightly off level. Between our rooms, one room is 1 inch higher, other room is 2 inches in level different. The ILIFE v5 was able to past between rooms and did everything it claims to do.

At the end of the 30 minutes run, opened up the lid, took out the dust collection container, there were ALL kinds of stuff in it. Dust, crackers, beads, and hair. Lots of hair.

Yes, we're VERY happy with this little guy. And already, the wife had recommended this product to a couple of her friends.

Suggestion

The front brush did got tangled up on an area rug that has very loose and long fiber. The robot then tried and gave up, then put itself into sleep mode. Actually, I think this is a Pro and not a Con. it's able to protect itself instead of keep spinning the brush endlessly and kill the motor.

After I've untangled it, woke it up by pressing the clean button, and it continue working as normal.

- It works well on carpet
- Fully automatic, you press a button and it goes on a cleaning routine until it gets low on battery
- Automatically returns to its base when the charge its low
- It has an included mop attachment, there is no water tank but it can mop reasonably well it you wet the cloth. It can actually vacuum and mop in the same run.
- Detects possible large drops, so it does't fall off the stairs.
- It can be programmed to activate once a day.
- They include replacement filters and brushes, so It should last years
- Manages to find its way back to base in a medium house 80% of the time
- It's slim enough that it fits under my bed and furniture
- The dust bin has just enough capacity for a daily run or two max.
- Battery autonomy is great, two hours of continuous operation

Suggestion

- Sometimes it tends to get stuck if it encounters an obstacle it can half climb, like the borders of some furniture.
- It's a bit noisy, you can hear it working from a room away.
- The bottom tends to get quite dirty after it completes a cleaning cycle.
- It normally detects objects before bumping into them but with certain things like the legs of chairs it doesn't see them and so bumps into them and moves them around a little.
- It can only be programmed once per day, but the battery charges fast enough that two or three times a day shouldn't be a problem.

Дошел за 20 дней до Чебоксар. Доставка курьером. Трек отслеживался. Комплектация в порядке. Но общего восторга не разделяю. На уборку квартиры 68 квадратов не хватает, хотя работает 2 с лишним часа, мусора не так много (очень удивлена отзывами про уборку 100 квадратов), может дело в ковре или квартира распашонка слишком сложна для него (такое ощущение что он запрограммирован на уборку простого прямоугольного помещения), многое пропускает в режиме обычной уборки, другие режимы не впечатлили (ползанье вдоль плинтуса, уборка небольшого кружка по спирали, ручное управление зачем там вообще непонятно) Базу находит не всегда, просто рандомно тыкается в стены и может отрубится, так и не доехав, на другом конце квартиры. Для ежедневного подметания поидет. Влажная уборка НИ О ЧЕМ! надо ходит за ним по пятам и не менять тряпку без конца)))? может пригодится только протереть пол, например, в ванной комнате. Таймер работает - уже хорошо.

Suggestion

Плохо находит базу. Пропускает много мусора. Долго заряжается. Работает только 2 часа. Шумит.
