By inventing a robot vacuum cleaner, mankind has taken another step towards the age-old dream - "robots work, man is happy." And although only a small part of the household has been left to artificial intelligence, there is hope that a bright future is not far off. To pass the time in anticipation of the golden age, we offer you a rating of the best robot vacuum cleaners in 2017, based on the popularity of models and user reviews on the Runet.
10.iClebo Arte
Average price: 30,000 rubles.
South Korean alternative to American and Chinese manufacturers. IClebo robots are reliable, high quality and versatile. Specifically, iClebo Arte is designed for dry cleaning, but the set comes with a microfiber cloth, with which the robot can wipe the floor.
He finds the base unmistakably, does not make stupid movements back and forth, for which less advanced analogues are famous. Beforehand it is necessary to "train" him - to show the apartment.
9. GUTREND JOY 90 Pet
Average price: 13,000 rubles.
The small size of the robot - only 30 cm in diameter - allows it to easily pass between the legs of chairs and tables (although it is still better to prepare the floor for cleaning in advance by removing items such as lying exercises, items of clothing, and so on). Good for removing animal hair and small debris, and the battery capacity is just enough for an apartment.
Sometimes it can miss corners, it takes a long time to search for a base and does not always find it, and it is difficult to determine the degree of fullness of the garbage container by eye - the device does not have a display.
8. Genio Profi 260
Average price: 16,000 rubles.
The first in the 2017 ranking among robotic vacuum cleaners who can also do wet cleaning... In total, the device has 4 modes, there is a disinfecting ultraviolet lamp. You can communicate with a smart car both through the touch panel and give commands by voice. A nice bonus - notifications in Russian. Perfectly cleans corners, picks up wool and debris, quiet enough.
True, even with a clogged filter, the robot still heroically continues to fight with entropy, which is not always convenient (although the notification on the body is on with might and main).
7. Philips FC 8802
Average price: 10 500 rubles.
One of the main advantages of this small and inexpensive model is height only 5 cm... Thanks to this, Philips FC 8802 easily climbs into those places that are usually the most difficult for robotic vacuum cleaners - spaces under sofas, wardrobes, armchairs, coffee tables. Despite the size, this kid is able to clean himself quite qualitatively dry (however, in the presence of carpets, difficulties may arise). And if you put a cloth on the filter, it will be much easier to clean the dust container.
The only problem - battery warranty only six months.
6. Xrobot Helper
Average price: 12,500 rubles.
A Chinese brand of robot vacuum cleaners, pleasantly pleasing with a low price for such functionality. It has a two-level collection mode for large debris and dust (along with an UV lamp, a backlit display and wet cleaning nozzles). The small capacity of the container may cause some inconvenience, but with regular cleaning this is not so important. Wherein the robot is very passable - carpets are not an obstacle for him, he will clean them too.
Minuses: after about a year, the battery will start to run down and you may have to think about buying a new household worker.
5.iBoto Aqua X310
Average price: 13 500 rubles.
Robot vacuum cleaner for complete wet cleaning. Despite some disadvantages inherent in almost all robots for wet cleaning - some indistinctness of the operation of droppers, which either leak or are not completely emptied - it washes the floor quite well.
Of the cons - The cleaning rag wears off rather quickly, it is worth keeping an eye on it.
4. Polaris PVCR 0826
Average price: 20,000 rubles.
Model review at itop.techinfus.com/en/
This robot characterized by increased cleaning time - the battery life is more than three hours. It will perfectly cope with both cleaning parquet and laminate flooring, and with carpets with a short pile (it can get stuck on long-piled ones). A pleasant plus is the high-quality design and pleasant appearance of the model, especially the glass top adds style. It is advisable to empty the container with water after wet cleaning, as it may leak.
3. Panda X950
Average price: 18,700 rubles.
Another Chinese product that marketers are trying to refine, hinting at its Japanese origin. But a seasoned Russian buyer cannot be fooled - first of all, he looks at the functionality. AND the functionality of the Panda X950 is good - six modes, the ability to wet the floors with a cloth, works without recharging for two hours, and is also able to return to undone work after recharging and complete it successfully.
Cons: a little noisy and the charger may hum.
2.iRobot Roomba 631
Average price: 24 100 rubles.
The second place in the ranking of robotic vacuum cleaners for 2017 is occupied by one of the models of the American company, with which, in fact, it all started - iRobot. The company does not knit brooms, and robot vacuum cleaners from iRobot are quite high quality, functional, reliable and, of course, popular. Powerful iRobot Roomba 631 battery will allow him to clean dry without stopping for three hours, a cyclone filter will save him from fiddling with bags, and the intelligence of the robot will be enough to independently stop cleaning an already clean room. A nice addition, which is often forgotten by manufacturers of robot vacuum cleaners, is a convenient brush for cleaning the turbo brush.
1. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 260
Average price: 20,000 rubles.
The best robot vacuum cleaner for home in the 2017 ranking is a worthy Chinese alternative to iRobot - a product from Xiaomi, a favorite among Russian smartphone buyers. The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner has some interesting technical innovations; one of them - advanced navigation system and laser distance sensor... Thanks to this, the robot does not "dull", which is what some other models are famous for, does not disappear in dark places, does not wander under sofas and armchairs, and is perfectly oriented in the apartment. It can be controlled using a smartphone, there is a cleaning function on a schedule.
Only drawback - Chinese language robot alerts. Fortunately, he is not inclined to conduct intellectual conversations, and his vocabulary is severely limited. And because of the Chinese, it can be difficult to update the software.
