Even in 2018, the iClebo Arte remains a highly relevant model among vacuum cleaners. In 2015, the robot was named the best by one of the most respected German publications and also won the "Product of the Year 2015" award at the International Electronics Fair in Moscow, Russia's capital. We'll provide a test drive and a brief overview of the key features of the iClebo Arte Carbon (YCR-M05-10) and Silver (YCR-M05-20) robotic vacuum cleaners.

Equipment

The iClebo Arte's initial package, in addition to the robot vacuum cleaner itself, includes the following items:

charging base;
block, as well as a power cable;
infrared remote control and two batteries for it;
instructions for use on paper and electronic media;
side brushes;
two spare dust collector filters;
main brush and comb;
microfiber pad with a tray for it;

Technical specifications

The table below provides an overview of the specifications for the iClebo Arte robot vacuum cleaner:

Kinematics system	It is represented by two driving wheels and a fixed roller.
Collection of dust and other small debris	It is carried out by means of inertial movement and vacuum filtration.
Dust collector	It has 1 compartment and a capacity of 0.6 liters.
Brush	1 main one with pile, and 2 side ones.
Additional cleaning accessories	Microfiber attachment combined with a rubber scraper.
Operating mode, functions	5 basic surface cleaning modes, as well as a number of additional functions.
Robot movement speed	25-30 centimeters per second.
Noise during operation	Within 55 - 58 dB.
Obstacle sensor	Mechanical bumper (front/side), infrared proximity and height difference sensors.
Spatial orientation sensor	An infrared sensor for locating the charging base, a video camera located in the upper part of the body, a gyroscope, etc.
Control panel (display)	The control system is located on the body, it is touch-sensitive and has LED backlighting.
Remote control	Infrared remote control.
Battery life	Up to 160 minutes
Charging time	1 hour 40 minutes
Battery	The battery is a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh.
Power consumption	12W in operation, 0.9W when in standby mode on the base.
Overall dimensions and shape	Weight: 2.8 kilograms. Dimensions: The body diameter is 350 mm, the height is 89 mm. The vacuum cleaner is round and has tapered edges at the bottom, which helps Arte overcome obstacles.

When describing the robot vacuum's suction power (which the manufacturer claims is 65 watts), it's important to note the following. Its operation is similar to that of an electric broom and differs significantly from that of a vacuum cleaner. Since iClebo is battery-powered, it is not capable of delivering much power. Surface cleaning is accomplished using a turbo brush rotating at a high speed (approximately 816 rpm). This is what allows Arte to collect the smallest particles of dust and dirt.

Important! The Aiklebo Arte's cleaning area is 150 square meters, according to the manufacturer. If you want Choose a robot vacuum cleaner for your apartment or a spacious house, it will clearly be more than sufficient in terms of cleaning area!

Design

The iClebo Arte robot vacuum cleaner's appearance can be described in two main ways: stylish and expensive. The most common body colors are Carbon and Silver, labeled YCR-M05-10 and YCR-M05-20. Black Edition (labeled YCR-M05-30), Red (labeled YCR-M05-50), and Sakura (designer version, YCR-M05-11) are also available.

All these models are presented in the following photos:

The first iClebo model has a very modern look and will fit into any interior, but the top of the unit is prone to dirt and requires periodic cleaning with a microfiber cloth. The second model of the robot vacuum cleaner is less easily soiled and, thanks to its matte surface, is less susceptible to damage, but has a slightly simpler appearance.

Functional capabilities

The iClebo robot vacuum's functions are described in detail in the user manual included with the basic package. The robot can turn in one spot without changing its location. It's highly maneuverable and can access areas with limited clearance.

Dust and dirt are initially collected by two side brushes. They sweep accumulated debris into the center, after which the vacuum cleaner, using the central brush and scraper, throws it into the dust bin. Emptying the iClebo Arte's dust bin is easy: simply lift the lid and shake out the dust. Since there's no fan inside the dust bin, it can be rinsed if needed. Afterward, it's recommended to dry it thoroughly. The bottom of the dust bin is made of tinted plastic, so you can't see the fill level without turning the robot over and removing the dust bin. The side brushes themselves are very high-quality, allowing the robot vacuum to clean surfaces effectively.

The robot vacuum cleaner should not be used in wet areas or on surfaces where liquids have been spilled. After the robot comes into contact with these liquids, it must be thoroughly and thoroughly cleaned of any accumulated debris. This could lead to damage to the vacuum cleaner.

Overview of the five main operating modes of iClebo Arte:

Automatic mode – is a one-time cleaning of the robot vacuum cleaner from one obstacle to another over the entire possible area of the territory.
Random movement mode – the robot vacuum cleaner moves around the area in a random direction, but within a limited time.
Maximum – cleaning of the accessible area until the battery is completely discharged.
Local – a mode aimed at cleaning one specified place in the room.
Manual – you can control the robot vacuum cleaner manually using an infrared remote control.

When the user installs the attachment tray, the vacuum automatically switches to wet cleaning. The microfiber attachment is attached to the bar behind the main brush with a special Velcro strip. It can be lightly dampened before installation, allowing you to wipe the targeted surfaces clean.

A distinct advantage of the iClebo Arte robot vacuum cleaner is its obstacle avoidance feature. When enabled, the robot vacuum cleaner can overcome obstacles up to 20 mm high. When this feature is disabled, the vacuum cleaner automatically overcomes obstacles up to 15 mm high. You can also set the robot to automatically start cleaning at a preset time every day.

Let's sum it up

To summarize, let's highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of iClebo Arte.

Advantages:

The presence of a system that allows for spatial orientation and several operating modes.
Easy to clean dust collector.
Convenient dimensions of the case.
The presence of two side brushes, as well as an additional nozzle for wet cleaning.
Possibility to restrict movement using magnetic tape.
Manual control using the remote control.

The main drawback of a robot vacuum cleaner is that it's outdated and costs around $250 in 2019. For that kind of money, there are a number of downsides:

No control via smartphone.
Does not create a map of the premises.
Small microfiber area for wet cleaning, manual wetting.
There is a risk of moving the charging base when cleaning surfaces.
