NEATSVOR X600 Pro: A budget robot vacuum cleaner with lidar and wet cleaning

The Neatsvor X600 Pro is an affordable robot vacuum cleaner, priced between $190 and $210, or $2.00 and $2.20 at the exchange rate at the time of writing. For this price, the robot is equipped with a lidar sensor, wet and dry cleaning functions, and a powerful motor delivering up to 6000 Pa of suction. Below, I'll show you how the Neatsvor X600 Pro works, test it, and then give my opinion on whether it's worth the money. Let's get started!

Equipment

The Neatsvor X600 Pro arrived in this branded box:

The package includes:

1. Charging base.
2. Power adapter.
3. A wet cleaning tank with a pre-installed cleaning cloth. The robot also comes with a dry cleaning container built right out of the box.
4. Spare napkin.
5. Two spare side brushes.
6. Spare HEPA and foam filters.
7. Robot cleaning tool.
8. Operating instructions.

The kit is well-equipped! All the necessary spare parts are included. That's a plus!

Appearance

Let's take a look at the design of the Neatsvor X600 Pro. It comes in white and has a round body. The body height is 98 mm.

A soft-touch mechanical bumper is installed at the front. The control panel features two mechanical control buttons. A lidar sensor is responsible for navigation and is equipped with a spring-loaded cover to prevent it from getting stuck under furniture.

The dust container is removable from the rear. It features a triple filtration system, including a HEPA filter, foam filter, and mesh filter. The container is capacious, holding 600 ml.

A combined water and waste container can be installed in place of the dust collector. The water tank holds 350 ml. It contains a pump for electronically controlling the water flow. This container also contains a small waste collection compartment. According to the manufacturer, its capacity is 300 ml. The cleaning cloth is attached to the base of the container with Velcro.

The robot's underside is equipped with three sets of fall protection sensors. It has two side brushes, each with a three-pronged design and quick-release. The central brush unit is non-floating. The turbo brush has a bristle and petal design, and one side can be removed to remove tangled hair and fur.

Overall, the Neatsvor X600 Pro's build quality is budget-friendly, as is its price, considering its lidar. I'll discuss the pros and cons of the design in my tests and in my final review.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Neatsvor X600 Pro, as stated by the manufacturer:

• Li-Ion battery 5200 mAh.
• Suction power up to 6000 Pa.
• Operating time up to 180 min.
• Cleaning area up to 200 sq.m.
• Dust collector 600 ml.
• Combined container 350 + 300 ml.
• Obstacle clearance up to 20 mm.
• Dimensions: 330*98 mm.
• Weight: 3 kg.

It's important to highlight the increased suction power, which will be verified in tests. Also, compared to the previously released X600, the battery capacity has been increased.

Functions

Speaking of the robot's capabilities, it's controlled via the proprietary Neatsvor Home mobile app. Connecting was straightforward, and the app interface is in Russian.

The main functions of Neatsvor X600 Pro are displayed on the screen:

1. Saving multiple cleaning maps (5).
2. Automatic zoning of premises into rooms.
3. Selecting areas and rooms for cleaning.
4. Virtual walls and no-go zones (and for wet cleaning mode).
5. Suction power adjustment.
6. Adjusting the water supply level.
7. Cleaning log.
8. Setting up cleaning according to a schedule.
9. User mode.
10. Voice notifications in Russian.

As you can see, the functionality is standard. The robot doesn't have any advanced features. I'll add that this robot vacuum can be connected to Yandex.Alice, but you'll need to sync it with the Smart Life app instead of the proprietary one. Speaking of custom mode, you can set individual cleaning parameters for each room, which is very convenient.

Testing

A detailed video review of the NEATSVOR X600 Pro, complete with all the necessary features, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Navigation

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, we'll test the Neatsvor X600 Pro's navigation in a room with obstacles. First, the robot vacuum cleaner navigates the perimeter of the room, then cleans the entire accessible area in a serpentine pattern. The legs of a clothes dryer presented a bit of a challenge, but the robot managed to escape the trap on its own. It also swept around the legs of chairs and a box, then returned to the charging station. This test was passed!

Speaking of navigation within the home, the Neatsvor X600 Pro cleans room by room, following the perimeter and then in a serpentine pattern. There were no uncleaned areas, and the cleaning speed was on par with similar devices, so I have no complaints about the navigation!

Suction power

Regarding suction power, despite the claimed 6000 Pa, the robot vacuum cleaner was only able to vacuum debris from a 2 mm deep gap. It's also quite loud and produces a strong airflow. It feels like it's producing a lot of power, but that's just the way it is. Suction power wasn't confirmed in tests.

Dry cleaning

The dry cleaning performance was excellent; the robot picked up all the debris from the laminate flooring, leaving only a small amount in the corners, where round robot vacuums can't reach. Pet hair and fur were tangled around the center brush, although it appeared the side brushes were bearing the brunt of the impact. The bulk of the debris was collected in the dust bin. The test was passed.

Cleaning the carpet

The carpet cleaning performance was above average. Some debris was caught in the pile, but most was still picked up. So, the robot is suitable for household cleaning and cleaning short- and medium-pile carpets.

Wet cleaning

The cleaning performance for light stains is generally good. The robot vacuum was able to remove dried-on dirt without leaving streaks. This is a plus. The only remaining area is a narrow zone along the baseboard, which is a blind spot for almost all existing robot vacuums.

It's important to note one crucial detail regarding wet cleaning. Since it requires swapping the dust bin for a water tank, this robot has separate dry and wet cleaning modes. This is extremely inconvenient. In mopping mode with the water tank installed, the Neatsvor X600 Pro only sweeps; suction is disabled.

Wet cleaning and carpets

Since the robot lacks a carpet detection sensor, the Neatsvor X600 Pro cannot automatically avoid carpets during wet cleaning. To protect carpets from getting wet, set up designated no-go zones for wet cleaning in areas where carpets are located.

Obstacle clearance

Obstacle crossing ability is also not the best. Although the manufacturer claims it can overcome thresholds as high as 2 cm, in reality, the robot is unable to do so. However, it can cross a threshold as high as 1.5 cm.

Driving on black surfaces

There are also issues with driving over black surfaces. The robot detects elevation changes on black carpets and avoids them. However, there are no issues on hard black surfaces. This is important to keep in mind.

Noise level

As for the noise level, it ranges from 64 to 77 dB, depending on the selected mode. This robot's noise level is very loud at maximum power. In other modes, it's on par with similar robots.

Personal opinion

The Neatsvor X600 Pro robot vacuum cleaner has been thoroughly reviewed and tested. our evaluation system he managed to gain 91 points, which is quite adequate for a budget lidar robot vacuum cleaner.

Overall rating of tested robot vacuum cleaners: https://robovac.washerhouse.com/en/rejtingi/robovac-obshhij-rejting-robotov-pylesosov-robo.html.

I'll share my personal opinion about it. I liked the following:

1. Budget price.
2. Good equipment.
3. Complete Russification.
4. Good cleaning quality on hard surfaces.
5. Capacious dust collector.
6. Increased battery capacity allows cleaning larger areas.

Speaking of shortcomings, here are the main comments that were found during testing:

1. Separate dry and wet cleaning.
2. High noise level at maximum power.
3. Afraid of black carpets.
4. Unable to overcome thresholds of 2 cm height.
5. Suction power was not confirmed in tests.

Ultimately, I can say my opinion of the robot is mixed. On the one hand, for the price, it does have a lidar sensor, which is a good thing. Moreover, the price drops even lower during sales. But on the other hand, this outdated design with replaceable containers for dry and wet cleaning is definitely a relic of the past. If, of course, these issues aren't critical for you and you're willing to change the containers, then you might consider this model. There aren't many good robot vacuum cleaners in the $150-$200 range, but they do exist, and it's important to carefully weigh the pros and cons against similar options.

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping. Bye!
