Design

The body is a round structure made of white plastic. The manufacturer has developed a clean design, free of unnecessary details and elements. The advantage of the white color is that the Altarobot is visible from any room, reducing the risk of being stepped on. Its compact dimensions give the robot vacuum cleaner a delicate and graceful appearance.

The dust bin compartment is located in the center of the front panel. Simply press it slightly, and the lid opens. Next to it is a large button that starts the vacuum cleaner.

The device's body is framed by a rubber bumper, which prevents damage to furniture and the device in the event of an accidental collision. The AltaRobot A150's underside resembles that of standard robotic vacuum cleaners. Its design includes two main wheels and one roller, which allow the robot to easily change direction, as well as two side brushes and a suction port. The only difference between the models is the addition of a cleaning cloth holder.

Functional capabilities

As we've already mentioned, even a child can operate the AltaRobot A150 robot vacuum cleaner. No remote control or confusing buttons are required. It starts working with a single press of the "Start" button on the device's body. Its compact size ensures effective cleaning. Its compact size allows the robot to easily reach under even the lowest furniture and remove debris and dust.

The AltaRobot robot vacuum cleaner has one mode: automatic. It moves randomly around the room, cleaning the floor. For enhanced cleaning, you can attach the included cleaning cloth to the device, turning the robot into a floor polisher. In floor polisher mode, the AltaRobot A150 uses its side brushes to sweep up debris and dust along walls and baseboards, then directs it into the suction port. This vacuuming action simultaneously wipes the floor with the cleaning cloth.

A review of the design reveals another unique feature of the device: the presence of various sensors that allow the robot vacuum to navigate the room. For example, height sensors allow the device to navigate smoothly and avoid falling off stairs or other elevated surfaces.

The soft bumper along the front of the unit ensures safe operation not only for the unit itself but also for any furniture it might encounter. In the event of an accidental collision, the rubber bumper softens the impact, preventing any damage.

Advantages and disadvantages

After reviewing the device, one can conclude that the AltaRobot A150 is an easy-to-use robot vacuum cleaner with a minimal number of features. This simplicity is in keeping with its price. In 2018, the average price for this model was just $60. Given the price, it's difficult to criticize this robot vacuum cleaner, as it's practically impossible to find a robotic cleaner that can effectively clean floors for $100. However, I'd like to highlight some of the advantages of this robot:

1. Works in automatic mode.
2. Equipped with two side brushes.
3. It has built-in sensors for detecting and avoiding obstacles.
4. Compact dimensions ensure that even the most secluded corner will be clean.
5. Low cost. Due to its minimal number of features, this robot vacuum cleaner is one of the most affordable.
6. In addition to dry cleaning, the AltaRobot A150 also functions as a floor polisher. Simply attach the included cleaning cloth to the bottom.
7. Low noise level.

Along with the advantages, the model also has disadvantages, namely:

1. There is no way to program a cleaning schedule.
2. Lack of double filtration system.
3. Small volume of waste container.
4. Weak battery, which is enough for cleaning 50 square meters.
5. The robot is not capable of independently returning to the base to recharge.

Despite its many shortcomings, the AltaRobot A150 robot vacuum cleaner performs its basic functions quite well. As we've already mentioned, this model is well worth the price, making it a great choice for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on a robotic vacuum. At the same time, it's worth noting that this robot has received numerous positive reviews, so if you're looking for an affordable robot vacuum to help you clean an apartment or small house, consider this model.

This concludes our review of the AltaRobot A150. We hope this description of its features and functions was helpful and helped you choose the right robot vacuum for your home.
