Design
The Clever & Clean 004 M-Series is neatly and stylishly designed. The body is made of white plastic, and even the lack of LED backlighting and a touchscreen doesn't detract from its appearance. The edges of the body are framed by a rubber bumper, which protects not only the robot itself from damage but also any furniture it might accidentally collide with.
Top view
A quick look at the device reveals that the dust container and filter are located on the front panel. The lid opens with a gentle press on the front of the device. Note that this lid is covered with a special protective film. The on/off buttons are also located on the front of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Additionally, side brushes are attached to the bottom of the device, which clean the surface. The Clever & Clean robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with specific sensors located around the perimeter of the device.

Functional capabilities
The instructions included with the robot detail all of its features. It is activated by pressing a single button on the control panel. During cleaning, the Clover Clean robot vacuum cleaner undergoes various motion changes, ranging from random movement to cleaning along baseboards. When encountering an obstacle, the device automatically changes its trajectory and moves in the opposite direction.
Modes of movement
Although the robot is designed for dry cleaning, you can additionally purchase a special cleaning panel that will serve as a floor polisher.
The Clever & Clean 004 M-Series robot vacuum cleaner belongs to a class of devices called mini-robots. They are typically designed for small spaces, but this doesn't prevent them from being used in larger areas. Thanks to its compact size, the device easily handles rooms with lots of furniture and other obstacles. The long side brushes easily reach hard-to-reach areas under furniture or in corners, ensuring a thorough cleaning.
Floor cleaning
Due to the fact that the device has a fine filter, it will not pollute the surrounding air, as it is cleaned and filtered.
Operating instructions
We recommend reading the included user manual immediately after purchasing your robot vacuum cleaner. It provides detailed safety precautions for using the robot, maintenance instructions, and troubleshooting steps for common problems.

Summing up
This mini-robot review highlights its main advantages and disadvantages. Based on its specifications, the Clever & Clean M-Series 004 robot vacuum cleaner offers the following benefits:
- Low price. In 2019, the model costs $80. This device previously occupied the top spotratings of robot vacuum cleaners under $100, but now they have been replaced by more interesting robots with better functionality.
- Very easy to clean, as the side brushes can be easily removed and the filter and dust container can be washed under plain running water.
- Simple in design and operation, eliminating the need to spend a lot of time learning the manual and operating the device.
- As an addition, it is possible to purchase a washing panel, which will make the 004 M-Series function as a polisher for smooth surfaces.
- Compact body dimensions.
- The robot vacuum cleaner uses an indicator on the panel to notify you when the battery is completely discharged.
An overview of the device's shortcomings is provided below:
- There's no special signal or indicator indicating how full the dust bin is. Therefore, it's necessary to regularly check the dust bin yourself.
- The robot vacuum cleaner is not able to return to the power adapter on its own.
- There is no function to program work according to a schedule on certain days of the week.
- Lack of remote control.
Overall, this model scores 6-4. Just a few years ago, it was an excellent option in its class, but now it's better to choose something newer for $70-$100. We also recommend watching the video review of the Clever Clean 004 M-Series, which clearly demonstrates how this robot vacuum cleaner cleans:

Great article, thank you! We bought one for my mom in her house, and she loved it. It doesn't damage furniture, and it's very easy to use and clean for someone of a certain age. It's inexpensive for its quality. The battery is still holding up well after six months.
This Clover & Clean is perfect for a dorm room (my parents have a better model at home). We run it every other day and it works well. I'm not a big fan of the bright, irritating bulb, so we covered it with a band-aid. The output is acceptable, although it does sometimes leave behind large debris. For the price, everything is great; we chipped in for four and no one was left broke.
Let me correct the information a bit: I have this robot, and it charges in exactly 3.5 hours. On a five-star scale, it cleans like a "4." Our apartment is small and bare, with only a sofa and a single-leg table on the floor, so the robot is comfortable. It cleans the kitchen separately, which is also spacious: three chairs, a table, and cabinets. There's a decorative strip underneath; when the debris piles up, I unhook it and the robot cleans under the cabinets.
I have this robot, and I love it. It cleans the kitchen (tiles) beautifully, gets a C+ on natural carpet, and a B+ on carpet and laminate. It's simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, like Lego—everything clicks into place. I spent a long time choosing a robot, and I'm glad I chose the M series. We've had the robot since May 2018.
