Incidentally, there's also an updated Clever & Clean Zpro-series Black Diamond II model. It differs from the current model only in its expanded package. The package also includes five replacement cleaning pads, four fine filters, four side brushes, and spare bearings. However, the average price of the updated Zpro-series Black Diamond II is $80 higher (20,000 compared to $12,000 in 2018). If your budget allows, you can choose the fully equipped version, which will save you the hassle of finding and purchasing consumables in the future.

Design

The Clever&Clean Z-series Black Diamond has an attractive, sophisticated appearance. The body is made of high-quality plastic. The model name translates as "black diamond" due to its glossy, reflective black surface. The top of the robot vacuum also features an infrared receiver protruding upward.

On the side of the device there is a dust container release button, an on/off button, and a socket for connecting the power adapter, while on the opposite side there are sensor windows and charge recharge electrodes.

On the back of the robot there is a floating head with a pair of main brushes, a side brush, a pair of wheels on the sides, a front support roller, a height difference sensor, a disinfection lamp, and a filter (a wet cleaning unit is attached here if necessary).

Functional capabilities

Clever&Clean Z-series Black Diamond is capable of performing four types of work:

• The robot vacuum cleaner sweeps the floor surface with two main brushes and cleans debris along the baseboards and walls with a side brush.
• Works as a vacuum cleaner.
• Disinfection of cleaned surfaces with an ultraviolet lamp.
• Wet wiping of the floor when attaching the cleaning unit.

The robot vacuum cleaner can clean in automatic and localized modes, thoroughly cleaning the dirtiest areas of the floor.

Thanks to the automatic schedule function, the Clever Clean Z-series Black Diamond will automatically start at a set time without the owner's presence and clean the house automatically, after which it will return to the charging base to recharge.

The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a navigation system typical for its series, based on the operation of 80 point sensors located on the rubberized side of the device, which allows it to successfully navigate in space and avoid harsh collisions with interior objects.

A pleasant and useful feature is the disinfection of surfaces using the UV lamp included with the robot. This technical solution is especially useful for families with children, pets, and people with allergies.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Black Diamond robot has the following advantages:

1. Nice appearance.
2. Optimal overall dimensions.
3. Good equipment.
4. Powerful battery.
5. Availability of remote control and ultraviolet lamp.

However, like any other robot vacuum cleaner, the Clever&Clean Z-series Black Diamond has some disadvantages:

1. Before cleaning, it is necessary to prepare the room and remove large objects from the floor.
2. Ni-MH batteries are more prone to degradation than Li-Ion or modern Li-Pol batteries: over time, they become unusable and require replacement.
3. The brushes are also prone to wear and tear and may require replacement after some time of use.
4. The noise level of the device is not the lowest.
5. Wet cleaning is not fully implemented, since there is no separate container for liquid, and the cloth must be constantly moistened by yourself.
