Functional capabilities
The Redmond robot vacuum cleaner's features allow it to thoroughly clean both dry and wet areas daily, even when unattended. The RV-R100 cleans open spaces, along walls, and in corners efficiently. It features four operating modes and movement patterns:
- Automatic mode is used for regular cleaning. In this mode, the robot cleans the floor for 100 minutes until the battery is completely discharged, sequentially traversing the entire floor surface, automatically choosing a path based on the room's characteristics. After finishing its work, the robot automatically returns to the charging station to recharge.
- Limited-area cleaning (fixed cleaning). This is used when a specific area needs to be quickly cleaned. It's suitable for working in the dirtiest areas of the room. The robot vacuum cleaner's trajectory can be set in two modes: zigzag and spiral. In zigzag mode, the robot moves in wide, straight lines and can gradually increase its range. In spiral mode, the vacuum cleaner thoroughly cleans a small area for 2-3 minutes and then turns off.
- Corner cleaning mode (along walls). When set to this mode, the device will move along walls and partitions, thoroughly cleaning the corners of the room.
- Quick Cleaning Mode. In all modes, the robot vacuum cleaner operates at a standard speed. If needed, the speed can be increased manually using the remote control.
Moving around the room
The Redmond robot model featured here features an effective navigation system. A built-in laser rangefinder helps it scan its surroundings and create a map of the room. This feature is essential for more effective cleaning.
The vacuum cleaner's body is equipped with collision, fall, and height-change sensors. Contact sensors located close to the edge of the body are triggered by even the slightest touch, causing the device to change its trajectory.
Infrared sensors promptly detect obstacles and elevation changes in the robot's path. This allows the Redmond RV-R100 to automatically navigate obstacles and stairs as it moves around the room, preventing collisions and falls.
Special sensors limit the cleaning area by using infrared beams to create a virtual boundary that the robot vacuum cleaner cannot cross. The coordinated operation of these sensors allows the Redmond 100 model to better navigate its surroundings, avoid collisions with interior objects, and overcome small obstacles, making floor cleaning more efficient and effective.
Moving under furniture
When reviewing the Redmond RV-R100's features, it's impossible not to mention its scheduling feature. Thanks to the built-in timer and automatic start-up feature, the user can set cleaning times by hour and day of the week, and schedule cleaning for the entire week.
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with an important feature: it stops working when lifted off the floor. The Redmond RV-R100 has a stationary charging base. When work is complete or the battery level reaches a certain minimum, the device automatically locates the base using special sensors and returns to it to recharge.
Another positive aspect of this Redmond model is the ability to control its actions remotely using a remote control.

Let's sum it up
In conclusion of our review of the main parameters and capabilities of the Redmond RV-R100 robotic vacuum cleaner, we will highlight its advantages and disadvantages.
The compact and powerful Redmond 100 model will be a wonderful assistant in everyday life. Its advantages over other robotic robots on the market include:
- Powerful battery and a fairly long operating time without recharging.
- Convenient case parameters, in particular, small height.
- Automatic return to charging base function.
- Possibility of programming a cleaning schedule.
- Ease of maintenance.
Cleaning various types of floor coverings
Along with obvious advantages, the vacuum cleaner also has a number of disadvantages:
- The device is not suitable for all types of flooring: the robot vacuum cleaner is only effective on hard surfaces and low-pile carpets.
- Before turning on the robot, you must first prepare the room - remove all small objects from the floor (toys, wires, etc.).
- No control via app.
Considering that there are more functional robot vacuum cleaners on the market in 2019 that are not significantly different in price (the model under review costs around $130), it's better to choose a newer, more advanced robot. This could be a Xiaomi or iLife.

Analogues:
After eight months of use, it started spinning around like a glitched bot and couldn't return to the base. Previously, it was a solid B, operating in an apartment with laminate flooring throughout (I don't like dust collectors). One of the drive wheels may be to blame, as it requires a lot of mechanical effort to turn, but the interior is clean, with no hair or fur in critical quantities.
