iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua

The iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua is a robotic vacuum cleaner designed for dry and wet cleaning of various flooring types, with the option of combining both. The robot navigates its surroundings using a gyroscope and a set of twenty-two intelligent sensors that prevent collisions with objects and falls from elevated surfaces. It can be controlled using buttons on the body, remotely with a remote control, or via a smartphone app. The device features a discreet, traditional design and compact dimensions, allowing it to clean not only open spaces but also under furniture. The price of the robot ranges from $150 to $180, placing it in the budget price range. Let's move on to a more detailed review of the robotic vacuum cleaner.

Equipment

The iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua comes in a branded cardboard box with a picture of the robot vacuum itself. The box also displays the robot vacuum's key specifications, features, and operating modes.

Delivery set:

1. Robot.
2. Charging base.
3. Power adapter.
4. Remote control.
5. Dry cleaning container.
6. Container for wet cleaning.
7. Additional consumables: side brushes, cloth and filter.
8. Operating instructions.

Appearance

The robot is finished in a black and gray color scheme. It has a familiar puck-shaped design, but when viewed from above, it appears round. The iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua's design is traditional, yet elegant, yet durable. Its size allows it to reach even hard-to-reach places and clean accumulated debris and dust. For example, it can reach under beds, clean corners, and more.

When reviewing the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua, we see a small control panel with two main buttons on the top, as well as a dust compartment cover with a key for opening it.

The front of the robot vacuum cleaner has a protective bumper, and a side container for dry or wet cleaning.

The bottom of the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua robot houses the drive wheels, one universal front wheel, charging contacts, and the battery compartment. It also houses the cleaning system, which includes various modern components: side brushes, a central turbo brush, and a damp cloth for wiping the floor.

Functional capabilities

The robot vacuum cleaner navigates its environment using a gyroscope and protects its body and surrounding objects from damage thanks to installed sensors. Special height sensors protect the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua from falls down stairs.

The robot's main advantage is its ability to perform dry and wet cleaning simultaneously, ensuring faster and more effective cleaning.

The device features a scheduled operation function: users can easily set the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua to operate at a convenient time, and the robot vacuum cleaner will clean rooms daily according to the set time.

The robot has different operating modes, an overview of which is given below:

• automatic – standard mode, in which the device moves in a zigzag pattern and cleans the entire available area;
• local – designed for intensive spiral cleaning of the most contaminated small areas;
• along the perimeter – suitable for cleaning along baseboards and in corners;
• classic - the room is cleaned by a robotic vacuum cleaner in a chaotic manner, changing the direction of movement when it detects obstacles in its path;
• maximum – a mode with increased suction power for effective cleaning of particularly dirty areas with significant accumulation of dust and debris;
• manual – control the movement of the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua manually using the remote control.

There are only four main trajectories of movement for the robot vacuum cleaner: spiral, zigzag, perimeter, and straight line.

In addition to the remote control, the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua robot vacuum cleaner can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world using a smartphone via a special mobile application.

Advantages and disadvantages

As we've already mentioned, the iBoto Smart X615GW Aqua falls into the mid-price range, costing no more than $180. For this price, users get combined dry and wet cleaning capabilities and a number of other benefits, including:

1. Gyroscope-based navigation.
2. The low height of the body means it can fit under low furniture.
3. Long working time and cleaning area.
4. Several operating modes.
5. Presence of turbo brush.
6. Timer, setting the cleaning time.
7. Low noise level.
8. Control from a smartphone.

One downside is that a motion limiter is not included. The gyroscope and sensor-based navigation isn't the most advanced, but it's acceptable for the price.

Overall, this model is suitable for cleaning apartments and houses up to 80 square meters. It offers decent cleaning quality and includes all the necessary standard features. However, for an extra $3-$50, you can choose a robot vacuum with lidar, advanced features, and higher suction power.
