This model is not suitable for carpets, except for short-pile carpets and carpeting. A nice addition is a separate wet cleaning unit, which needs to be filled with water and attached to the bottom of the unit, along with a microfiber cloth. The cloth is automatically moistened throughout the cleaning process, making this a complete cleaning option. The robot also disinfects the area being cleaned thanks to an ultraviolet lamp.

Advantages and disadvantages
The robot vacuum cleaner has virtually no advantages over similar devices in this price segment. Here's an overview of its most significant advantages:
- Autonomous operation for more than two hours.
- Double suction power.
- An ultraviolet lamp and a fine filter for better purification of the surrounding air.
- Wet wiping of the floor.
But there are many more disadvantages:
- The high cost of Ashimo Flatlogic 5315 (around $370).
- Lack of control via mobile app.
- Small volume of water tank.
- The robot vacuum cleaner does not create a map of the room and has a rather primitive navigation system, which is found in all modern budget and mid-price models.
- The manufacturer itself raises many suspicions. You can find numerous reviews online claiming that Ashimo is a leading Japanese brand, etc. In fact, the company is little known and has released only three robot vacuum cleaners, none of which are competitive at all.
- There are reviews stating that there's no warranty, support, or service. If the robot breaks, you'll have to pay for repairs out of pocket, and you'll have to find a place to get it done.
- The central brush doesn't do its job well. When compared to the brushes on Neato and iRobot robots, the differences in size, design, and material are immediately noticeable.
In conclusion, I'd like to point out that the Ashimo Flatlogic 5315 isn't worth the money. It has rather basic features and specifications, yet it's considered a rather expensive robot vacuum cleaner. Our review is negative, as for $370, you can choose a household robot from reputable brands like iRobot, iClebo, or even Samsung. In this case, you can be confident in the build quality and reliability of the robot vacuum.
