E.ziclean Tornado V2
The E.ziclean Tornado V2 is a new product from E.ZICOM (France) in 2017. This robot features a pleasing, minimalist design, a high-power turbine with increased suction power and a long service life, a low noise floor, and a unique floating turbo brush assembly. This robot vacuum cleaner is designed for cleaning tiles, wood, laminate, and other hard surfaces, as well as carpets, in homes and offices. This article provides an overview of the robot vacuum cleaner's functions, features, and specifications.
Equipment
The E.ziclean Tornado V2 robot vacuum cleaner comes with the following options and consumables:
- Charging dock.
- Power adapter.
- Battery
- Two pairs of side brushes.
- Central turbo brushes.
- Remote control.
- HEPA filter.
- Operating instructions.
Meanwhile, the E.ziclean Tornado V2 PETS model is additionally equipped with two side brushes, a HEPA filter, and a turbo brush. This is the main difference between the two robotic vacuum models, aside from the color.
Design
The Tornado V2 robot vacuum cleaner has a round body made of thermoplastic with a matte finish. It is available in black (standard) and red (E.ziclean Tornado V2 Pets).
When viewing the robot from the front, we see a control panel with touch-sensitive buttons and a dust compartment cover. A soft bumper is located on the side. Turning the device over reveals two side rubber wheels, a swivel caster, a pair of side brushes, a main turbo brush, and a battery compartment cover.

Functional capabilities
The E.ziclean Tornado V2 robot vacuum cleaner has 5 cleaning modes:
- Auto.
- Along the baseboards.
- By square.
- Zigzag.
- In a spiral.
The robot's navigation system is based on three ultrasonic and nineteen infrared sensors, as well as angle and obstacle recognition technology. This allows the device to successfully navigate around any obstacle, avoid violent collisions with objects, and prevent falls from heights. Microsensors receive data in real time, allowing the robot vacuum to adjust its cleaning pattern and find the optimal route around the room.
Cleaning area
The E.ziclean Tornado V2 features a high-strength turbine with a high rotation speed (16,000 rpm), increasing the device's efficiency and suction power. The turbine is driven by an exceptional brushless motor, eliminating mechanical friction and resulting in significantly quieter operation.
Robot turbine
The E.ziclean Tornado V2 robot vacuum's turbo brushes and suction port are mounted on a special floating platform that adapts to uneven surfaces and various floor types, while remaining flush with the floor for maximum dirt collection. The turbo brushes are made of flexible nylon threads (for capturing fine dust and debris) and silicone pads for larger dust and debris.
The device is equipped with an anti-allergy HEPA filter and a hygienic dust container. The dust container is located at the top of the device, making it easy to remove for cleaning and preventing dust from falling out when the container is full. A convenient handle is included for removing and carrying it.
The HEPA filter captures fine dust particles and various allergens, such as pollen, hair dander, dust mites, and more. The filter is made of fluoroplastic and can be cleaned and rinsed with water. A programmable cleaning schedule is also available.
Advantages and disadvantages
Overall, the E.ziclean Tornado V2 has all the features you'd expect from a mid-priced robot vacuum. Here's an overview of the device's key advantages:
- Powerful turbine with increased suction power and performance
- Reduced noise level, does not strain the ears.
- Anti-allergenic HEPA filter.
- Possibility of control from remote control.
- The kit includes a charging base, and the device can also be charged directly from the mains via an adapter.
- Soft touch bumper.
- Programming a cleaning schedule.
Among the disadvantages it is worth highlighting the following:
- The absence of a movement limiter among the robot vacuum cleaner components, since most similar devices in the same price category are supplied with a cleaning area limiter. virtual wall.
- Turbo brushes require periodic cleaning, but this is not particularly difficult.
- The height is 9 cm, which can cause the robot to get stuck under furniture.
- There is no handle for carrying the robot vacuum cleaner.
- Wet cleaning is "symbolic." It can't be called full-fledged, as the cloth is small.
- The battery fails quite quickly (on average, within 8 months).
- If the robot doesn't make it to the charging base in time (which happens often), the settings are lost and you have to set everything up again.
- The quality of cleaning performed, according to numerous reviews, is not at the highest level.
- Small suction hole, which often gets clogged and reduces cleaning quality.
- The navigation system is poorly designed. The robot may pass over the same area multiple times, missing contaminated areas.
As for the price, the device is certainly not one of the cheapest. The average price of the model in 2018 is $240. Our personal opinion is that for this price you can choose a robot vacuum cleaner, which will clean better and at the same time come fully equipped with a motion limiter and spare consumables. This robot has more disadvantages than advantages.
That concludes our review of the E.ziclean Tornado V2. We hope this information was helpful and helped you decide whether this robot vacuum is worth buying.
