Functional capabilities

The new Cleverpanda robot vacuum cleaner features a number of improvements, enhancing its capabilities and improving its surface cleaning.

When dry cleaning, the powerful and high-capacity Li-Pol battery allows for high-quality cleaning of all types of surfaces, including long-pile carpets, and also easily handles pet hair.

The robot vacuum cleaner can operate in four modes:

• AUTO – in accordance with the specified route;
• cleaning surfaces along walls and furniture contours;
• spot cleaning mode for the dirtiest areas;
• delayed start (operation at a specified time).

For wet cleaning, the robot vacuum cleaner includes a nozzle with a large-capacity water container and a combined microfiber cloth. The Cleverpanda i5 features an automatic moisture removal system.

A useful feature is automatic battery charging. After finishing work and recharging, the device easily finds its base and returns to it automatically.

It is worth noting the ability to control the robot vacuum cleaner via a mobile application using WI-FI.

A high-tech processor equipped with a navigation system makes the robot vacuum cleaner's operation sophisticated and as efficient as possible.

Using a modern echolocation system, the vacuum cleaner can remember the location of surrounding furniture, allowing it to avoid it and protect against potential accidents, such as falling down stairs. A large number of sensors and indicators allow the vacuum cleaner to navigate and independently detect dirt levels, selecting the optimal operating modes.

The latest wide-format HD camera not only allows for optimal movement planning and precise mapping of the room, but also enables a range of functions not typically found in a cleaner:

• Night vision - allows you to use the vacuum cleaner as a guard;
• Real-time apartment monitoring: the Cleverpanda i5 robot vacuum cleaner can monitor your apartment at a specified time and even send photos and messages to your mobile phone, ensuring a high level of residential security;
• the ability to store information on a flash card (supporting volumes up to 32 GB);
• the ability to make a video call and take photos;
• the video camera can operate both in active mode and while the battery is charging;
• Personal information protection: turning off the video camera using a mobile app and closing the lens cap provide protection against hacking and prevent information leakage.

Let's sum it up

In conclusion, let's highlight the main advantages of Cleverpanda i5:

1. The vacuum cleaner features a powerful, high-performance electric motor, providing the device with excellent suction, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of rooms with varying degrees of dirtiness.
2. Possibility of adjusting the suction power depending on the type of surface, degree of contamination, etc.
3. Effective cleaning of hard floors and soft carpets, removal of pet hair.
4. Wet cleaning is possible thanks to the included nozzle with a water container and a microfiber cloth.
5. Availability of four cleaning modes.
6. The presence of a powerful lithium-polymer battery.
7. Low noise level.
8. Modern, powerful processor.
9. Improved navigation and indoor mapping system.
10. Possibility to monitor housing in real time.
11. Control your robot vacuum cleaner via Wi-Fi using a mobile app.
12. A built-in video camera and multiple sensors and indicators allow the robot vacuum cleaner to navigate the room perfectly, recognize obstacles in its path, determine the level of dirt, and much more.

Speaking about the disadvantages, they are as follows:

1. Problems with navigation and spatial orientation may occur.
2. There are many negative reviews about the lack of warranty support and service centers.
3. The vacuum cleaner cannot be programmed for a weekly cleaning cycle (only daily cleaning time can be selected).

Overall, considering its price of $200 in 2019, the robot is quite well-equipped and multifunctional. The presented feature set and technical specifications will help you make the right decision when choosing a cleaning assistant for your apartment, house, or office. However, for the same price, you can consider more reliable alternatives from iRobot, iClebo, and other companies.
