Cleverpanda i7

In this review, we'll be taking a look at the new Cleverpanda i7 robot vacuum cleaner, the company's flagship model for early 2020. This model features a camera for navigation, all the necessary features (detailed below), and impressive specifications. At the time of writing, the robot vacuum costs $250. This is relatively inexpensive, considering it includes a camera for navigation. Below, we'll discuss the Cleverpanda i7's specifications and features, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

Equipment

In addition to the robot vacuum cleaner itself, the delivery package includes:

1. Charging base.
2. Adapter for connecting to the network.
3. Remote controller.
4. Side brushes (4 pcs., 2 of them spare).
5. Microfiber cloths (2 pcs., 1 spare).
6. Attachment for attaching a napkin.
7. Spare HEPA filter.
8. Water container.
9. Operating instructions.
10. Warranty card.

As you can see, the kit includes all the necessary components for operating the robot. Note that a virtual wall is not included, as movement zones can be restricted directly in the app.

Appearance

Let's take a look at the Cleverpanda i7's design. The robot is black with a glossy finish. The company logo and navigation camera are located at the top center. Also located at the top are a Wi-Fi connection indicator and a touch-sensitive power button.

The front features a soft-touch mechanical bumper, which allows the robot to detect room perimeters and obstacles in its path. A combined water and solid waste container is located at the rear. The robot vacuum's power button is located on the side.

Turning the Cleverpanda i7 over, we see two side brushes, a central brush, wheels, a swivel roller, charging terminals, and a microfiber cloth on the back. Everything is standard, as with most robot vacuums.

I'd also like to highlight the combined water and dust container. It holds 500 ml of water and can hold up to 300 ml of water. This robot vacuum cleaner features electronically adjustable wetting intensity thanks to a built-in vacuum pump. Furthermore, the robot won't rewet the cloth while it's not in use (for example, while charging on the base).

Functional capabilities

First, let's talk about the Cleverpanda i7's navigation. This robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a camera for navigation, as well as a gyroscope and other sensors, allowing it to map the room and create an optimal navigation algorithm. During automatic cleaning, the robot moves in a zigzag pattern, cleaning one room at a time. Thanks to its camera and long-lasting battery, the robot can clean areas of approximately 160-180 square meters.

Now let's talk about the functionality. All of it is available in the mobile app, which the Cleverpanda i7 connects to via Wi-Fi. The app offers the following features:

• Building a map of the premises.
• Adjusting the water supply to the napkin.
• Suction power adjustment.
• Selecting a cleaning mode.
• Returning the robot to base.
• View cleaning history.
• Setting up the power-on schedule.
• Setting up no-go zones and virtual boundaries.
• Selecting an area for cleaning.
• Control via voice assistants.

It's worth noting that the robot vacuum cleaner can simultaneously vacuum and mop the floor with a damp cloth. It also features a rechargeable cleaning feature (the robot continues cleaning where it left off) and the option to disable voice notifications.

Overall, the Cleverpanda i7 has quite interesting features; it has all the necessary functions for automatically maintaining cleanliness in the home.

Pros and cons

To conclude this review, we'll highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the Cleverpanda i7. Among the positive aspects, I'd like to highlight:

1. Camera-based navigation.
2. Good equipment.
3. Control via application.
4. Combined dry and wet cleaning.
5. Electronic adjustment of the degree of wetting of the cloth and suction power.
6. Building a map of the premises.
7. Possibility of setting no-go zones and virtual walls.
8. Large cleaning area.
9. Good suction power.
10. Optimal price.

Considering that the robot vacuum cleaner costs $250, for this price it is basically equipped with all the necessary features and functions, and can also compete with other robot vacuum cleaners in the price segment up to $300.

No particular shortcomings were identified, the most one could find fault with was:

1. The robot does not zone the space into rooms.
2. The central brush is bristly, not bristly-petal.
