A robot vacuum cleaner is a good New Year gift for a family

If you have not yet decided what to give your loved ones for the New Year, choose a robot vacuum cleaner as a gift. For now, let's leave the question of its price and that not everyone can afford to make such a gift.

To begin with, I would focus on expediency. This is the main principle for me when choosing something. So, I think that this assistant is necessary in a house or apartment. Bunching is usually done once a week. And in a few days, dust, debris, crumbs can accumulate in the rooms (especially in the kitchen). And the robot vacuum cleaner will do intermediate cleaning. If you run it every day or every other day, the rooms will be clean throughout the week.

So, my choice of model and algorithm, how I choose a technique, a tool. I go to the website of an online store and look at models in the middle price segment. I am looking for those models who have the most reviews and votes. I compare models in terms of ergonomics and characteristics, read reviews. Sometimes 2-3 models are enough to decide.

I often choose DNS on the website. I like this chain by the presence of promotions, assortment and their large stores are 2-3 in each district of the city. At one time I bought technopoint.ru in their discounter, but the prices are often the same.

And this time, in the same way, I chose a robot vacuum cleaner Mamibot EXVAC660. Over 800 reviews and over 100 comments. Mostly positive. Medium price segment. And on the stock model - price RUB 8999 (discount 5000 rubles). Several years ago, such models with similar characteristics cost at least $ 20 thousand. rub. After watching a couple of videos on youtube, I realized what to take.

Unpacking:

A robot in a double box. But many manufacturers are doing this now. Xiaomi, for example.

After you open the box, you understand that this is not a toy and the quality is decent. Despite the fact that it is a little-known brand.

Included: 4 side brushes (2 spare), containers for dry and wet cleaning, two microfiber blades for wet cleaning (1 spare), two sets of filters, remote control, brush for cleaning filters, documentation.

Construction: turbo brush, dust container 600 ml, water tank - 350 ml. Obstacle and fall prevention sensors, charging station sensor. Four operating modes, control from a smartphone via Wi-Fi (via the application). The robot is building a map of the room, there is work on schedule.

Li-Ion battery 2600 mAh. Working hours - 100 minutes (enough for cleaning the area 200 m2). Full charge time is 6 hours. Suction power - 28 W. Weight 3 kg.

During operation, you can press the button on the body, pause, empty the container and, when pressed again, the robot vacuum cleaner will continue its route. You will be surprised, but it always finds dust, even with daily cleaning.

Fine filters (foam and HEPA filters cannot be washed - just clean and blow).

Container for wet cleaning. Velcro microfiber - easy to remove and wash fabric. Before work, you need to let it get wet. There is a separate dry pocket inside the container. Even with wet cleaning, dust and debris from the turbo brush is thrown there. The robot vacuum cleaner understands which container is installed in it. The vacuum cleaner does not work during wet cleaning. It is important to understand that the floors are simply wiped, it will not wash off the adhering dirt.

If the charge runs out, the robot turns off the vacuum cleaner and slowly crawls towards the station. But you can finish cleaning from your phone or from the remote control. Otherwise, he will go through rooms 2-3 times until the charge runs out.

Link per model

Many people praise Xiaomi robotic vacuum cleaners. But I haven't seen any stocks on them, but in terms of price and functionality, most with this Mamibot model are similar

I am satisfied with the purchase, and the family with a gift. You will not find better options for this stock price. And once again about the practicality of choosing a gift. Many people spend a lot more on a three-minute fireworks display. Admired and forgotten. And this assistant will bring more positive emotions to everyone.
