If you have not used a robot vacuum cleaner before, you will love this model. If you have already tried others, too. And it is that this Roomba i3+ brings together several useful features that we could say have been added to the trend of these articles as user requirements are learned.
The first thing, and clearly visible, is that this Roomba model is self-cleaning, that is, it automatically generates the discharge of what it sucks into a tank, saving you the inconvenience of bending down to clean it, as in older models. But that is not all. Let’s go part.
His design
The Roomba i3+ is shaped like a flattened cylinder. Right out of the box it looks more compact and lighter than previous models: evolution. The finish of the model brings together two textures: one in matte plastic and the other in fabric. If you like design, this model is very elegant, so it looks great as an accessory in your home.
The automatic emptying, which we told you about above, is a fairly fast and comfortable process. The only detail is that it may be a bit noisy. We tell you a little more about the robot itself: At the top it has three buttons: the little house to send it to the base, spot clean for localized cleaning and the CLEAN button, the largest and in a central position.
Around this button there is an LED light that will inform us of the status depending on the color and the way it lights up:
- Blinking white when charging
- Lights up white when fully charged
- Flashes red when battery is low
- Turns blue when returning to base
- Flashes blue when it detects a dirty area
intelligence and technology
With this, you already have a general knowledge of its operation. And it is that this robot works with great technology: the key, its sensors. In its upper part it has an RCON sensor, which is used to detect the position of the base. On the front it has a shock sensor to detect obstacles such as walls. In the lower part it has four unevenness sensors that will prevent the robot from falling down the stairs and a optical ground tracking sensor to optimize your trajectory by drawing lines, the main responsible for your navigation.
rollers? Rubber. They stand out for their greater durability and ability to catch hair (interesting if your home has pets).
maintenance
Here is a brief table about their maintenance:
useful and powerful
Ideally, to achieve the best cleaning results with a robot vacuum cleaner, it is to launch it to clean in a clear house. No wires, no toys, etc. The robot will clean room by room, covering the interior perimeter and then drawing lines. He is very skilled at sailing.
Regarding power, it should be noted that it is capable of sucking up crumbs, hair and dust. Although the corners cost a little more, it is a good assistant for the house, which you can complement with a common vacuum cleaner that, believe me, you will use much less per week. The ability to program your Roomba with its application, so that it works certain hours a day, is the ideal complement so that cleaning your floors is a “just once a week” thing.
