There is nothing more boring than cleaning an apartment. Who wouldn't want a robot vacuum to take on the brunt of this monotonous and mundane activity? These small, smart helpers will create perfect cleanliness and give you time to do other, much more interesting and enjoyable things. Unsurprisingly, they account for 20% of the global vacuum cleaner market.
One of the most popular, functional and well-made devices is the Panda i5, a premium robot vacuum cleaner.
The 2017 new product, produced by a Japanese company in China, embodies the best advanced technology, has a bright and beautiful design and low noise, and can successfully replace a professional maid.
We have prepared a detailed Panda i5 overviewspecially for the readers of itop.techinfus.com/en/.
Here are the top 15 reasons why the Panda i5 outperforms its competitors:
1. Elegant appearance
The case design is the first thing that catches the eye when choosing any device. And the creators of Panda i5 did their best so that their brainchild would not go unnoticed. Available in gold and red colors, the vacuum cleaner has a very slim body (5.9 cm), with a diameter of 30 cm. Thanks to such a small thickness, the smart cleaner will crawl into even the smallest gaps between the floor and furniture. Most robots that are advertised as ultra-thin have bodies that are 8 to 12 centimeters thick.
Another advantage of the vacuum cleaner is its high quality, pleasant to the touch and very durable plastic.
2. Ability to monitor the house from anywhere in the world with a smartphone
The uniqueness of the Panda i5 lies in the presence of a wide-format HD video camera, thanks to which you can observe what is happening in the house, even from the opposite point of the globe.
- You can see everything that happens in the house on the smartphone display, in real time, control the route of the robot and even make a video call home. There is also a night vision system that allows you to create a picture of objects that are invisible in the dark.
- The camera works even when the vacuum cleaner is completely discharged.
- The data obtained with the camera will be stored on a flash card with a capacity of 8 to 32 GB and can always be accessed from a mobile phone.
- If the camera is not needed, it can be turned off via the smartphone application or its lens can be closed manually with a special shutter.
3. Security mode
There is no need to spend money on an expensive video surveillance system when you have a Panda i5. All you need to do to activate the security mode is to set the time for monitoring the house. In the event of any movement in the apartment or house, you will receive a corresponding notification on your smartphone.
4. Availability of Wi-Fi
Thanks to the Wi-Fi module, the cleaning droid can be controlled remotely.You just need to connect using a router, select the appropriate cleaning mode and watch on the smartphone screen how cleverly and quickly the Panda i5 cleans up. True, the battery life is 4 hours, so long observation can get boring.
There are no other hybrid models of robotic vacuum cleaners with a camera and Wi-Fi in Russia.
5. Built-in echo sounder
A lot of smart vacuum cleaners drive erratically, pushing off furniture legs and clumsily trying to dodge obstacles. Many, but not Panda i5. It is equipped with echolocation anti-collision system, which minimizes the risk of collision with anything (or someone) while cleaning. This system is borrowed from nature itself, for example, bats and dolphins use echolocation to navigate in space and determine where various objects are located.
6. Different types and modes of cleaning
Forget about cleaning the floors, the hardworking little "Japanese" will handle it for you. It has a 280ml water tank. and a special microfiber cloth 28 cm wide. It allows you to wash any coating without leaving streaks, thanks to the function of removing excess liquid. In other robotic washing vacuum cleaners, the width of the napkin does not exceed 15 cm and after wet cleaning, moisture often remains on the floor.
And the volume of the dust container for dry cleaning (with a fill sensor) is 500 ml. For comparison: most other models have about 400 ml.
As for the cleaning modes, the manufacturer did not stint and made as many as 4:
- Delayed start cleaning mode so that the robot can do housework at a specific time and day of the week.
- Cleaning along walls and furniture outlines.
- Spot cleaning, in which the vacuum cleaner increases the suction power to absorb the smallest particles of dust and dirt in the area to be treated.
- Automatic mode, during which the robot moves along a given route.
7. Large cleaning area
Whether it's a huge gym, a spacious house or a small apartment, the Panda i5 will do just as well. Its maximum cleaning area in dry mode is 260 m2, in wet mode - 200 m2. Imagine how long it would take to manually clean such a space.
8. Powerful battery and long work
Thanks to the latest generation lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 7000 milliampere-hours, the Panda i5 can operate continuously for up to 240 minutes without recharging. And when the task is completed, the robot will automatically return to the base to recharge.
9. Fall protection
It is very unpleasant if an expensive device suddenly falls from a height and breaks down. To avoid this nuisance, the engineers who designed the Panda i5 equipped the vacuum cleaner with 4 groups of sensors, which allow early detection of changes in the height of the work surface.
10. Very high quality cleaning
One filter is good, three is better. In the Japanese robot vacuum cleaner, there is not only a HEPA filter with ions to clean the air from allergens and bacteria, but also a carbon filter and a fine filter. Together, they make the air in the house much cleaner, and the floors sparkling. The vacuum cleaner handles not only ordinary debris (sand, dust, dirt, crumbs, scraps of paper), but also pet hair. And since it works quietly and has a small size, animals are not afraid of it and perceive it as a “brother”.
The unique shape of the side brushes prevents wires or hair from getting wrapped around them. And the fact that the brushes have 6 cleaning elements at once provides cleaning of impeccable quality.
Moreover, the Panda i5 can independently change the power depending on the type of flooring and the degree of dirtiness.
11. Smart navigation system
A video camera, an echolocation system, in combination with the latest software and obstacle scanners allow the robot vacuum cleaner to move effectively around the room. One of the snake modes, this mode allows you not to skip uncleaned places.
12. Variable suction power
Just press a button on the remote control to set the desired suction power.The minimum value is 1000 Pascals, the maximum is 1200 Pascals.
13. Quiet operation
Due to the low noise level (from 40 to 60 decibels, depending on the mode and power level), the robot vacuum cleaner can work without disturbing the sensitive sleep of a child or a tired adult. For comparison: 40 decibels - the level of ordinary speech, 60 - the level of conversation in the office.
14. Rich equipment
The Panda i5 package includes, in addition to the vacuum cleaner itself:
- a coupon with a manufacturer's warranty (2 years);
- remote control;
- batteries for the remote control;
- 8 Gb Kingston memory card;

Buying a robot vacuum cleaner from an authorized dealer will save you from many problems, ranging from a fake to a lack of warranty support (which is 2 years).
