Robot vacuum cleaners that speak Russian – a review of models

Russian-speaking robot vacuums have become increasingly popular and in demand among Russian consumers. Now, smart vacuums can not only clean autonomously, keeping the home clean, but also notify users of cleaning status or errors, and even scold cats for leaving hair on the carpets. This last feature is precisely what attracted users: the robot vacuum moves across the floor and curses (and can even curse), brightening the mood of its owners. In this article, we'll explore the best talking robot vacuums of 2022, providing an overview of the most popular models and brands.

Hobot Legee 7 and D7

In 2021, the Hobot Legee 7, a rather interesting robotic floor cleaner, hit the market. One of its highlights, besides its unique design, is its support for creative voice commands. In addition to the standard voice package, you can re-record any voice command using the app's voice recorder and activate it. A major advantage of this option is that it's much easier than re-flashing the firmware and all the fiddling around. Furthermore, the voice commands can be absolutely anything, not just the few voice packages available online. It's a very convenient solution!

Between the platforms are nozzles that deliver water to the cleaning area.

So, in my opinion, Hobot Legee 7 is one of the best robotic floor polishers on the market. If you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that speaks Russian and cleans effectively on hard floors, be sure to consider this option. Moreover, Hobot provides a warranty on its robots and comprehensive support at its service centers. If you have carpets in your home, I recommend considering the updated model. Hobot Legee D7, which will go on sale in April 2022. This robot vacuum also supports creative voice commands, but it also features a turbo brush and an automatic cleaning function that lifts the cleaning cloth when it encounters carpets. Therefore, if you have carpets, the Hobot Legee D7 is the better choice when choosing between these two robots.

REDMOND RV-R670S WiFi and other Redmond robot vacuum cleaners

A similar solution is implemented in a robot vacuum cleaner. REDMOND RV-R670S WiFiThe proprietary mobile app features the ability to record and set your own voice commands.

By the way, in the near future, in addition to the REDMOND RV-R670S WiFi, creative voice commands in Russian will also be supported by the younger 650th model, which we also reviewed (REDMOND RV-R650S WiFi).

Xiaomi's lineup with the famous Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The first robot vacuum cleaner to captivate users with its ability to speak Russian was the legendary Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner. Its creative "Bot Maxim" voice pack, featuring the phrase "Leather Bastards," quickly sold out, even to those unsure they even needed a robot vacuum. Other popular voice packs supported by some Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners include "Operation Y," "Alice and the Brownie Kuzya," "Winnie the Pooh," "Bender from Futurama," "Gentlemen of Fortune," and others. In short, there's plenty of room to choose the right voice pack.

However, there are two major issues with the Xiaomi lineup and setting up creative voice commands: not all Xiaomi robot vacuums support custom voices, and not everyone can set them up themselves. So, while this option is certainly in high demand, setting up creative voice commands on the Hobot and Redmond robot vacuums is simpler.

Speaking about the robot vacuum cleaners themselves, which speak Russian and support custom voice packages, they are definitely capable of this. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Roborock S50/S55, Xiaomi Mijia G1, 1C And 1SThere's no information about other models; you can research this issue on the well-known 4pda forum, which contains all voice packs and installation instructions. As far as I know, robot vacuum cleaners from Dreame, Viomi, and Roborock (except the S50) do not support the installation of creative voice packs, so please keep this in mind.

We reviewed the following models: 360 C50 And 360 S5Overall, the robots left a mostly positive impression. They are inexpensive, functional, and generally well-built for their price range.

360 S5:

Since 2021, the 360 ​​S5, S7, and S9 robot vacuums have supported creative voice commands in Russian, in addition to the standard voice packs. The new voiceover is designed in the style of "Bot Maxim": the robot vacuum constantly grumbles, scolds its owner for making it clean, and, of course, entertains nearby audiences. If you're looking for a robot vacuum that speaks fun Russian but doesn't want to bother with settings or manually recording, then one of the 360 ​​series robots might be the perfect solution. Here's an example of how these robots speak:
