Appearance
The manufacturer has developed a discreet yet attractive design for the device. The light-brown tablet-shaped body takes up almost the entire front of the device, which is occupied by the dust container lid. It opens with a simple press. Adjacent to the lid is the control panel, which features a start button, a list of features and operating modes, and status and battery charge indicators.
Top view
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a rubber bumper around its perimeter. This prevents accidental damage from minor collisions with decorative items or furniture. Various sensors are located around its perimeter to detect changes in height and obstacles in its path.
Side view
The bottom of the device contains drive wheels and a swivel wheel, which allows the robot vacuum to turn. The side brushes are located on either side of this wheel, and behind it is a mounting point for the central brush. Removing this brush results in a robot with a suction inlet. The bottom also contains a battery compartment and mounting points for the unit needed for wet cleaning.

Functional capabilities
A review of the robot vacuum cleaner revealed that the DeeBot D83 can operate in four modes:
- Automatic operation. Considered the most popular feature, the robot vacuum cleaner moves around the room in a random pattern, from one obstacle to the next.
- Intensive cleaning. In this mode, the robot focuses on areas heavily soiled with debris and dust. It moves from wall to wall, but the angle is sharper than in automatic mode.
- Spot cleaning. The DeeBot D83 cleans a specific, heavily soiled area. The robot works on a one-square-meter area, moving in a rotating spiral. The device's suction power increases as it cleans.
- Perimeter cleaning. This feature is essential for cleaning corners and surfaces along walls.
Obstacle avoidance
A review of the vacuum cleaner's features revealed one key feature: the central brush can be removed, leaving a suction hole. Cleaning with this hole will be more effective if you have pets. With a regular brush, pet hair will get caught in the dust, reducing cleaning performance. With a suction hole, the robot easily collects all the pet hair.
Operation of sensors
Another feature of the DeeBot D83 is the ability to schedule operation for a specific day and time. This feature allows you to choose a convenient time for the user, ensuring the robot vacuum cleaner doesn't cause any inconvenience. The DeeBot D83 is controlled using a remote control or buttons on the control panel. If the battery runs low, the robot vacuum cleaner can automatically locate its charging base and return to it to fully charge.

It also includes an overview of all the device's modes and functions. Following all the recommendations in the manual will extend the lifespan of the robot.

Advantages and disadvantages
The robot vacuum cleaner in question has its own unique features and advantages. The main ones are:
- Strict and attractive appearance.
- Its compact dimensions allow the device to fit under low furniture, thereby increasing the cleaning area.
- Possibility to program cleaning according to a schedule.
- The kit includes a nozzle for wet cleaning.
- Spacious waste bin.
The following points should be noted as disadvantages:
- Lack of service points.
- Overpriced.
- No virtual wall included.
- Problems with driving onto carpets.
- Poor navigation—the cleaning performance of multiple rooms simultaneously is poor. The robot only cleans well within a single room (if all doors are closed).
In conclusion, we'd like to point out that this robot vacuum isn't the best value for money. Given its price, we recommend considering similar options that offer better navigation and floor cleaning performance at a similar price.
