Compact but not smart enough
The well-known manufacturer Samsung offers a relatively inexpensive robot vacuum cleaner VR05R5050WG / EV in black and grey VR05R5050WK / EV, which is positioned as an assistant for dry and wet cleaning in small apartments and studios. Its height is 8.5 cm, but the wheels are small, so it can’t handle high obstacles — only up to 1 cm. As a result, carpets (even with low pile) and thresholds are its weak point: the device can skid for a long time before moving out or moving .
In addition, the robot does not know how to map the room, so cleaning takes longer, and collisions cannot be avoided — it can crash into doors and various furniture. Fortunately, the bumper is soft and protects the barriers from damage, but the sounds during collisions are loud, so it’s better not to turn on the vacuum cleaner at night. There is only a gyroscope that controls movement, an Anti-Collision sensor that reduces speed to gently clean corners, and an Anti-drop sensor that prevents falls from stairs.
Cleaning modes
As for dry cleaning, the vacuum cleaner offers 4 modes: automatic (for daily use when the device moves linearly), zigzag for better cleaning, spot cleaning (when you need to clean a specific place) and perimeter cleaning (along walls and in corners). Two side brushes help with the latter, and the turbo brush takes over the main work, which draws in fine dust, debris, hair, and pet hair. The container has a volume of 200 mL and is easy to clean at the touch of a button — you won't even get your hands dirty!
By connecting the nozzle with a rag and filling the tank with water, you can supplement dry cleaning with wet cleaning. But its result is not very pleasing: such cleaning is only superficial, the robot can skip some places, and stains sometimes remain on the laminate. As a result, the vacuum cleaner maintains freshness in the house, but more thorough mopping will have to be done manually.
Management and battery life
You can control the gadget using the buttons on the case, the remote control that comes with the kit, or through the application on your smartphone. But there are few possibilities here: scheduling cleaning at a certain time, starting, pausing, adjusting suction power, monitoring water consumption and the status of components, sending to the base. That is, you will not be able to determine the boundaries or zones, because there is no cartography function here.
Battery life is up to 150 minutes. This is enough for one or more cleanings, after which the vacuum cleaner will independently go to the docking station for charging. By the way, sometimes problems also arise with this — the device cannot find the base for a long time, crashing into other objects along the way. It takes 4 hours to fully replenish energy.
