The iLife A6 robot vacuum cleaner has several modes, which can be switched using the remote control. To start, press the button on the front panel, then use the remote control to select the desired mode. Let's take a look at how this robot vacuum cleaner cleans and its features.
The iLife robot vacuum cleaner operates in the following modes:
- Automatic mode. The robot automatically surveys the room and determines its path.
- Local. The device moves in a spiral, starting from the center of the room and gradually increasing its range.
- Maximum mode. When operating, the device uses maximum suction power.
- Edge cleaning. While working, the device moves along the perimeter of the room, following the baseboards.
- Mini-room. A convenient feature for small spaces.
- Automatic charging. This is the forced return of the device to the charging station.
Returning to base
In addition, the device can operate on a schedule. To do this, the user simply sets the desired day and time for cleaning.
The vacuum cleaner doesn't release dust into the air during operation, thanks to its three-stage air purification system. This makes the iLife A6 robotic vacuum cleaner ideal for those with dust allergies.
Advantages and disadvantages
A review of the device allows us to identify its main advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages over similar robotic vacuum cleaners include:
- Stylish and elegant case.
- Small dimensions.
- Large battery capacity.
- Dry cleaning of any smooth surface.
- Virtual wall included.
- The iLife A6 robot vacuum cleaner operates with minimal noise.
- Overcoming obstacles up to 1.5 centimeters.
- Setting up the device to operate according to a convenient schedule, on any day and time.
- The presence of a silicone roller, which can be quickly and easily removed.
- The robot charges not only from the station, but also from a cable charger.
Despite its many advantages, the iLife A6 robot vacuum cleaner does have some minor drawbacks. These include:
- Lack of a rubber bumper. If the robot collides with an obstacle, it could damage not only the furniture but also itself.
- The dust bin is small and needs to be emptied after every cleaning.
- Change the HEPA filter every six months. Do not rinse it under water.
- There is no possibility to control via mobile application.
In summary, it's safe to say that for $150 (the average price of the iLife A6 in 2018), you can choose a robot vacuum cleaner in this price range with better features.
