Everybot RS500

The Everybot RS500 is a robotic floor mopping system designed primarily for wet mopping smooth floors. Dry mopping is a secondary function, which is unusual for most automated robotic cleaners on the market. Therefore, to get a closer look at this unusual device, we recommend carefully reading our Everybot RS500 review.

Equipment

The Everybot floor polisher comes with:

1. Main block.
2. Power adapter (100-240V, 50/60Hz at 14V, 1.5A).
3. Liquid supply system (washing panels) - bases for cloths (2 pieces).
4. Set of four reusable floor cloths.
5. Infrared remote control with two AAA batteries.
6. Four protective pads for the bumper.
7. Operating instructions.

The floor polisher and its components are packaged in a large, sturdy corrugated cardboard box, protected by special foam inserts. A plastic handle is located on top of the box for easy carrying and transportation.

Appearance

The standard shape for automated house cleaning robots is considered to be round, although a D-shape is also common. The Everybot RS500 floor polisher has a rather unusual design: it's elongated and formed by a pair of touching circles. The body of the device is made of white plastic and has no coating. The top is mirror-smooth, while the bottom is matte. The top of the floor polisher houses the start button/indicator light, as well as a light sensor.

The wide side of the device reveals a convenient handle, while the narrow side reveals a power port for connecting the adapter and recharging the device. On both sides are mechanical bumpers made of hard black plastic.

The bottom of the Everybot RS500 houses the power switch, two rotating cleaning panels, and IR surface sensors. The cleaning panels have special openings for filling with water and rubber plugs.

Functional capabilities

Let's talk about the operating modes that the Everybot RS500 robotic mop is equipped with:

1. Automatic is the main mode, which cleans all available space until the battery is completely discharged.
2. Local - the polisher thoroughly cleans the area around the place where cleaning begins.
3. Along the perimeter – the device wipes the floor only along walls, furniture and in corners.
4. Movement along an S-shaped or Y-shaped trajectory.
5. Manual mode – control the movement of the robotic cleaner using the remote control, or carry out cleaning by holding the main unit of the Everybot RS500 by the handle (used for washing tables, glass floors, windows).

The device lacks a typical dust collector or vacuum mechanism. Cleaning is accomplished by rotating two attachments with microfiber cloths at 130 rpm. The cloths are automatically moistened from two 60 ml reservoirs inside the attachments. If you simply want the device to dry your floors, do not add water to the panel.

As the test showed, the robotic floor polisher does its job quite well. You can also see this for yourself.

Operating instructions

The contents of the user manual are divided into three main sections:

1. What is important to know before you start using it.
2. Operation.
3. Device maintenance and customer support.

The first section covers the floor polisher's key features, safety information, package contents, and a general overview. The second section describes the device's main functions and operating modes, as well as a description of its components. The third section provides recommendations for caring for the floor polisher, troubleshooting, and its general technical specifications.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of the Everybot robotic floor polisher, we highlight the following:

1. Wet cleaning.
2. Unusual stylish design.
3. Small dimensions.
4. Durable, high-quality body.
5. Automatic wetting of napkins.
6. Control via buttons on the body, remote control and manual cleaning option.
7. Low noise.
8. Different operating modes.

Disadvantages of the Everybot RS500 model:

1. Manual charging.
2. A small container for washing panels where water is poured.
3. Poor spatial orientation, rather chaotic movement.
4. There is no movement limiter (a virtual wall or magnetic tape, like most robot vacuum cleaners), so it can go where it shouldn’t and wander around the rooms.
5. Small effective cleaning area.
6. Most users believe that the device is somewhat overpriced, given a number of obvious shortcomings (the average price was $180 in 2018).

Given that there aren't many robotic floor moppers available today, this model is an option if you're looking for one. However, it's more prudent to choose one of the iRobot floor moppers, which are much more effective at cleaning floors and aren't much more expensive.
