Clean Robot

The Clean Robot robotic floor cleaner is designed for daily dry cleaning of smooth, even flooring, including laminate, linoleum, tile, and parquet, removing dirt, dust, hair, pet hair, and other debris. It can be used for both office and home cleaning. A quick disclaimer: the device is more accurately referred to as a robotic floor cleaner, not a robotic vacuum cleaner, as it only wipes debris off the floor, rather than sucking it in. The robotic floor cleaner does not have a modern navigation system, multiple cleaning programs or movement algorithms, a dust collector, suction channel, side or center brushes, and is not designed for wet cleaning. The device also does not have any additional features; it is designed solely to automatically mop floors with a cloth and assist in maintaining cleanliness. We will cover all the features of this automated floor cleaner in today's review.

Equipment

The Clean Robot comes with the robotic mop and twenty reusable microfiber cloths. The robot is powered by four batteries, which fit under the battery compartment on the bottom of the device. These batteries are not included. Purchasing additional batteries is easy. A Chinese user manual is also included.

The device is supplied in a branded cardboard box, which depicts the Clean Robot itself and describes its main characteristics.

Design

The Clean Robot mopping robot's appearance is generally not much different from traditional cleaning robots we're already accustomed to. The robot is shaped like a pill, and when viewed from above, it appears round. The model is available in two colors: black and white.

The device has an on/off button on the side, two small side wheels on the bottom, a swivel mechanism, a battery compartment cover, and multiple Velcro strips around the perimeter for attaching microfiber cloths.

Functional capabilities

The Clean Robot floor cleaning robot is very easy to use and maintain. To begin cleaning, simply attach the microfiber cloth to the bottom of the robot using the special Velcro straps, then switch the button from "Off" to "On." The robot will then begin cleaning debris from wall to wall.

The robot doesn't have powerful suction, as it only wipes surfaces with a cloth and doesn't suck up debris. Therefore, its design lacks a suction channel and dust collector. The lack of suction and noise-producing elements makes the device extremely quiet, virtually silent, making it ideal for families with small children and pets who are frightened by loud noises.

The robotic cleaner's compact size allows it to reach even the most inaccessible areas of a room, crawl under furniture, and clean the floor there.

The cloths are reusable, but if you notice a cloth is in poor condition, simply replace it with a new one (the Clean Robot comes with twenty). Aside from replacing the cloths and periodically wiping the body of the robot to remove dust, it requires little maintenance.

As mentioned above, the Clean Robot uses standard batteries as its power source, eliminating the need to constantly recharge it manually from the wall or wait for it to charge at a charging station. The device will operate for a long time until the batteries are completely discharged.

Advantages and disadvantages

So, let's summarize today's review and highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the model in question.

Clean Robot advantages:

1. The model belongs to the budget segment, so it will be affordable for most buyers (cost about $30 in 2018).
2. Compactness.
3. Virtually silent operation.
4. Easy to operate and maintain.
5. A large number of reusable replacement cloths are included.
6. No need for constant recharging.
7. As the test showed, the device copes quite well with its main purpose – automatic dry floor mopping.

Overview of Clean Robot's Disadvantages:

1. The product's movement can be described as chaotic; it does not provide for various cleaning programs.
2. There is no navigation system, the robotic cleaner may collide with surrounding objects.
3. If it gets on wet spots on the surface, it can simply smear dirt across the floor.

While this automated robotic mop won't replace a full-scale cleaning, it will help with daily cleaning and prepare floors for a deep clean. While this unusual model is virtually impossible to find in home appliance and electronics stores, it can be ordered online.

Finally, we recommend watching a video review of another robot vacuum cleaner, the Clean Robot, which is different from the model under review, but has the same name and is incredibly inexpensive:
