How to Choose a Samsung Robot Vacuum Cleaner?

The desire to mechanize as much as possible, to automate everyday life is quite understandable. Modern technologies make it possible to radically simplify even such a traditional area as house cleaning. However, they give good results only with the right choice and skillful use of household appliances. We'll show you how to choose a Samsung Robot Vacuum Cleaner.

It is useful to start the conversation about the Samsung robot vacuum cleaner with whether such a device is really needed. It is incorrect to compare it with hand tools for dry cleaning. Rational, on the other hand, would be a comparison with conventional hand-held vacuum cleaners. "Intelligent" mechanisms have a cylindrical shape and are relatively small in size. The height of the devices varies from 0.09 to 0.13 m.

Therefore, this technique can easily sneak under beds, wardrobes and unfolded sofas. Dust collects quickly. And what is important, a robotic vacuum cleaner will be able to clean the floor without the presence of a person. You just need to use hardware and software customization tools. The advantages of this technique are obvious for:

• people who are often on business trips, trips of a different kind;
• busy people;
• disabled, paralyzed and severely chronically ill people.

Also, the automatic system is able to quickly remove fine dirt and pet hair. It is quite possible to configure scheduled cleaning. The situation is excluded when they forget about cleaning or for some reason there is no time for it. The device, entering easily into the most inaccessible places, allows you not to think about how to put things in order there. But it's important to understand that robotic vacuum cleaners also have weaknesses.

This technique deteriorates quite quickly if it is used on damp floors. And even if the mechanism itself is not damaged, a lot of wet dust accumulates inside. It is a favorable environment for the development of mold and other harmful microorganisms. Some types of dirt will not be cleaned, but simply smeared all over the floor. In addition, circular vacuum cleaners will not be able to properly remove dust from corners.

A sofa or chair closed from below will be perceived by a robotic device as an obstacle and will simply bypass it. Therefore, in these places you will still have to put things in order manually. Sticky traces are also immune to this technique.

Robot vacuum cleaners work by consuming the energy stored in the battery. It sets in motion an electric motor, and already it rotates a special brush. Since there is no long hose, suction occurs at a fairly close distance. Because of this, the loudness of the noise drops sharply. Only a rechargeable battery is placed on the vacuum cleaner.

From time to time, the device drives up to a special "filling station". It helps to make up for the lack of power in the battery. All these movements are controlled by a special electronic system. She also monitors how long the battery will be charged. Cleaning robots also use navigation systems.

The difference between the models in terms of price is due precisely to the perfection (level of error) of navigation devices. The most advanced versions can drive in different places with little or no human assistance and even go around obstacles on their own, recognizing their nature. Good systems can identify ramps and steps, sills and furniture legs, shoes and doors.

It is useful to start acquaintance with the rating of Samsung robotic vacuum cleaners with the VR7070 version, which replaced the older SR20M7070WD modification. This device is very powerful, but at the same time its thickness is small. According to the manufacturer, such a device can easily put things in order in the corners of the room. Cleaning efficiency is enhanced by the large (28.8 cm) brush width. Navigation is provided with full view sensors and visual room mapping. The main characteristics of the VR7070 are as follows:

• dust bag capacity 0.3 l;
• the highest current consumption is 0.13 kW;
• the power of the suction flow is 0.02 kW.

The brand description indicates that the robot vacuum cleaner can clean hard-to-reach areas. In comparison with the previous model, the suction energy is increased 20 times. Therefore, you can remove dirt on a wide variety of surfaces. Even a drastic reduction in thickness did not prevent this result. The improved navigation system helps to recognize relatively small objects over a large area.

The observation control sensor gives, if necessary, a command to clean the corners of the room three times. At the same time, the suction intensity rises by 10% compared to work in free areas. The brand description also indicates that the special option allows for improved cleaning of the corners and perimeter of the skirting boards. This task is successfully solved thanks to a special brush.

Even if the VR7070 Robot Vacuum Cleaner collides with a wall, it can clean as efficiently as possible. A special blade is provided that collects a fairly large proportion of debris and dust. The brush is designed in such a way that hair and wool do not accumulate on it. Foreign dirt is concentrated in the middle of the brush. From there, it gradually enters the dust collector; therefore, we can even talk about self-cleaning of the apparatus.

At the same time, clogging of the outlet air filters is avoided. Cyclone Force technology maintains the same retraction power for as long as possible. This suction is carried out with extremely great force. The "Spot cleaning" system implies the direction of the robot vacuum cleaner to a predetermined point with a beam. The remote control must emit the target-pointing beam.

A good alternative is POWERbot. According to the manufacturer, this model does a good job of putting things in order in everyday life. The air intake force is 20 W. As a result, the robot vacuum cleaner can easily and in a short time remove dust and other contaminants even from the most difficult areas. Eliminates the passage of dirt accumulating in the corners of the room.

The cleverly designed paddle removes blockages from skirting boards. And when the dirt is in a free area, it is easy to suck it up. Importantly, PowerBot, after replenishing the battery charge, will resume work exactly from the place that it left before leaving for a break.

The SR10M7030WW modification is not currently available. Replacing it in the modern line is the VR7030. Suction occurs with a power of 10 W. The electric motor consumes 80 W of current for 1 hour. The bag container holds 0.3 liters of dust, however, it must be borne in mind that effective suction occurs only when filling no more than 50%.

The design features efficient navigation. The scanning system easily finds even the smallest obstacles.The complex of visual mapping of the terrain allows you to reduce the loss of time when moving. The wheels are designed in such a way that the VR7030 is not inferior to the passability of Samsung hand-held vacuum cleaners. Raising the cabinet 1.5 cm above the floor drastically reduces the risk of device getting stuck.

High cleaning quality is achieved through the choice of various modes. The VR7030 is capable of working with 3 different suction forces. Scheduled cleaning is quite possible, but it is done no more than 7 times a week. The dry weight of the structure is 4 kg. The bag may contain 0.3 liters of dust.

The VR10M7010UW model has been phased out and is now replaced by the SR10M7010UW. The device features quiet operation and simple settings. As consumers note, after cleaning, the floor really turns out to be clean. This version has been working steadily for many years. Instead of the VR20H9050UW modification removed from the assembly line, the Samsung concern offers its consumers the VR9000.

The total power of the device is 70 W, while the suction occurs at a power of 30 W. In a minute, the robot vacuum cleaner travels 19 meters. The cleaning time is 1 hour, after which the device must take a break for 160 minutes for additional charging. The high power of the mechanism turns into a rather strong noise - 76 dB. The cleaning strip is 31.1 cm and includes a remote control.

Other design advantages include:

• the ability to work at maximum mode;
• the presence of a laser pointer;
• dust presence indicator;
• the presence of a quiet mode.

The VR9000 is capable of cleaning the floor on a schedule. The increased performance is consistent with the increased capacity of the dust collector - 0.7 liters. The designers have provided for the compilation of a virtual map of the rooms to be cleaned. Air is cleaned both at the outlet and in front of the motors. It is appropriate to complete the review on the VR20M7070WD / EV modification.

This robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a self-cleaning brush by default. The scope of delivery includes both a limiting tape and an adapter for connecting to the network. The outer shell is crafted from carefully selected plastic. A touch screen is located above the motor, bringing all the necessary information to the consumer. The model is equipped with a large number of sensors that allow you to avoid as many obstacles as possible.

All models of robotic vacuum cleaners are divided into 2 main groups: simple and with a washing function. The dry cleaning design works effectively on all hard surfaces. You can also use such devices on soft carpets, carpets with a pile not higher than 2 cm. With a longer pile length, it is better to refuse a self-propelled vacuum cleaner altogether. As for washing machines, they are not currently produced by Samsung and therefore will not be considered.

Regardless of the orientation towards wet or dry floor cleaning, an automatic vacuum cleaner must have reliable control. All modern models are controlled not so much by buttons, but by means of a control panel. This solution allows you to provide a really high autonomy. Orientation with the help of video cameras and laser scanners, you can form an accurate electronic map of the surrounding area. As a result, the efficiency of orientation increases significantly, errors in the execution of travel programs are excluded.

But modern designs must still be equipped with infrared and ultrasonic sensors. This allows you to set the distance separating the Robot Vacuum Cleaner from surrounding objects. Therefore, the stop always occurs in a timely manner. Prevention of falls from stairs also depends on the quality of the sensors. Very important information for the correct choice is provided by the technical data sheet of the robot vacuum cleaner.

It indicates what area a particular device is designed for.If there is no such information, you can focus on what area the mechanism will clear during the maximum operating time minus 10 minutes. Of course, the duration of the autonomous passage is also important. It directly depends on the electrical capacity of the batteries. Whenever possible, use the most reliable lithium-ion batteries possible.

Models of robotic vacuum cleaners are further subdivided into budget and elite categories. The first group can make up for the lack of charge in 4 hours or more. The second returns to normal operation after 20-30 minutes even with a full charge.

In practice, the greatest height of obstacles to be overcome is of great importance. The ability to get over the sills, wires, various objects depends on this. Of course, the capacity of the dust container cannot be ignored either. With him, any model of the Samsung robot vacuum cleaner is all right. The tank holds a minimum of 0.3 liters, and in the most powerful versions - 0.7 liters. Any consumer needs a "HEPA" filter. Where such a cleaning device is available, it is easier to maintain a safe and healthy environment. This function is especially important in homes where small children or people suffering from allergies live. Experts definitely recommend choosing devices with a soft touch option.

Even if such a robot vacuum cleaner encounters fragile vases, other unstable and easily damaged objects on its way, it will disperse with them. For greater safety, when there are very valuable items on the floor, light modifications should be chosen. There is no need to talk about work according to the planned schedule - a vacuum cleaner that does not have such a function can hardly be considered a quality product.

But it is necessary to take into account not only the basic recommendations. It is also important to remember about the common mistakes made by the mass of buyers. One of them is the idea that all robotic vacuum cleaners differ only in price. In fact the technical stuffing is extremely important. Another caveat: before buying carefully measure the height of the gap separating the floor from the legged furniture. The apparatus must fit into this gap. Ideally - with a margin of 0.5 cm. Then the jam will be completely excluded. Do not think, moreover, that wet cleaning is a full-fledged equivalent of mopping. At best, this is a kind of wiping the surface with a slightly damp cloth.

As for the models with UV lamps, this is more of a marketing gimmick. In medical offices and laboratories, strictly stationary means for quartzing are used. An automatic vacuum cleaner is known to be in constant motion. Therefore, the effectiveness of suppressing pathogenic microflora, at least, is a big question. But ultraviolet rays can harm people and pets.

But even if there is no such harm, another drawback is important - the rapid consumption of battery power. As practice shows, in the presence of a UV lamp, the vacuum cleaner often parks at the charging station, which puts things in order.

As good and reliable as the robot vacuum cleaner is, you should handle it with care. Many complaints about premature failure or early breakdowns are provoked precisely by illiterate use.The network cable, despite its apparent rigidity, is fragile. It must not be stretched or used as a support for heavy objects. Failure to comply with this rule could result in electrical injury and / or fire.

The electrical connectors are for power supply only. Neither water nor dust particles should get there. In the best case, such a blockage will lead to a breakdown of the unit. At worst, its owners may suffer. By the way, accidentally touching the cables with wet hands is also unsafe. It is strictly forbidden to touch the cable of the vacuum cleaner or its body when any part of the body comes into contact with metal objects, with grounded structures.

Experts definitely advise before each start, especially after prolonged inactivity or after long distance transportation, first inspect the vacuum cleaner and all insulation. The slightest malfunction of the cable or connector is fraught with big troubles. It is strictly forbidden to plug the robotic vacuum cleaners into sockets with too low or unknown characteristics.

The cable through which the electric current flows must always lie straight. A tangled wire will catch fire many times more often. Nor should you rely on the robot's ability to avoid obstacles. Better to get them out of the way beforehand. It must be remembered that some objects can fall from the table, from the shelves, therefore they also often have to be removed.

The container must be cleaned before starting the automatic vacuum cleaner. Otherwise, the suction will be weakened. Samsung strongly recommends that you strictly adhere to the replacement times for all parts. And it is not recommended to leave the device in working form where children or pets can reach it. Only dry rooms can be cleaned with an automatic vacuum cleaner.

Do not allow large and sharp objects, cellophane and plastic bags to be drawn in. The mechanism is intended for residential use only. It cannot be used to clean street paths, sidewalks, production halls and workshops. It is required to systematically clean the sensors. It is strictly forbidden to make any changes to the design or change parts without a direct order from the service center.

It is not difficult to figure out how to extend the life of a new automatic vacuum cleaner. But in the end, you still need to read the reviews about Samsung products. Model VR7070 is recommended by most consumers for cleaning houses and apartments in multi-storey buildings. This machine is equally good at cleaning laminate, linoleum, tiles and carpets. Positive ratings are associated not only with excellent cleaning, but also with the attractive appearance of the device itself.

Samsung robotic vacuum cleaners really do cleaning in hard-to-reach places. They are equipped with rather long and efficient brushes. The suction power is significantly increased thanks to the turbine units. Control systems are highly technological and are not inferior in quality to the functional "stuffing" of devices. When cleaning carpets, robots work no worse than their "large" counterparts.

Light obstacles can be pushed aside by Samsung equipment, and more serious ones can be bypassed or moved. The absence of side brushes prevents the spreading of dirt. Even in appearance, these mechanisms look expensive and beautiful.This is the rare case where advertising promises come true. But, of course, only with impeccable preparation.
