Everybot RS700

Traditional and familiar automated cleaning robots are capable of independently picking up dust and dirt from smooth floors and sometimes even cleaning low-pile carpets. However, only a small percentage of these devices can perform truly effective wet cleaning and remove dried-in stains. To address this issue, a South Korean manufacturer has created robotic mopping models with automatic water supply. In this review, we'll look at one such model, the RS700, which is a continuation of the Everybot line of floor mopping robots. Compared to the model RS500Compared to the previously released Everybot RS700, the new model features a different color scheme, a lower height, and obstacle sensors, which were particularly lacking in the RS500. The new Everybot RS700 robotic floor cleaner is designed for automatic dry and wet cleaning of floors, as well as manual cleaning of vertical surfaces (tiles, mirrors, windows). Below, we'll provide a detailed overview of the model, covering its specifications and features.

Equipment

The Everybot RS700 robotic mop comes with the same kit as the RS500 model, and includes:

1. Main block (polisher).
2. Power adapter.
3. Two washing panels (bases for napkins).
4. Two sets of napkins.
5. Remote control with two AAA batteries.
6. User manual.

The device and its components are protected by foam inserts and neatly placed inside a box made of thick corrugated cardboard. The box features a plastic handle.

Appearance

The Everybot RS700 floor polisher has the same design as the RS500: elongated and formed by a pair of interlocking circles. However, the color scheme is different: the body of the device is made of black plastic with orange accents. There is no coating on the surface either. The body features a convenient crossbar that forms a handle, making it easy to use in manual cleaning mode. The recess under the handle is mirror-smooth and has a fairly smudge-resistant surface. The front and back have transparent tinted plastic inserts.

When reviewing the Everybot RS700 from the front, we see a power button, which also serves as an indicator of the current state of the device, and an obstacle sensor.

On the side of the robotic cleaner there is a power connector for connecting the power adapter, and on both sides there are mechanical bumpers made of hard plastic with tinted windows, which have built-in proximity sensors.

On the bottom of the robotic mop there is a power switch, 60 ml capacity wash panels for attaching wipes, into which water is poured through holes closed with rubber plugs, a rechargeable battery, and infrared height difference sensors.

Functional capabilities

The Everybot RS700 robotic floor polisher has 6 different operating modes:

1. Automatic is the main mode, in which the device cleans the entire accessible area of ​​the room until the battery is completely discharged.
2. Thorough cleaning of floor coverings by moving in a Y-shaped pattern.
3. Local (spot) cleaning – the device intensively cleans the surface of a small area around the starting point of cleaning using circular movements.
4. Perimeter cleaning – Everybot RS700 cleans the floor along walls, furniture, and removes dirt from corners.
5. Manual cleaning – you can control the robotic mop using the remote control, or hold the main unit by the handle and manually wash vertical surfaces such as tables, mirrors, windows, etc.
6. Turbo mode is a mode that increases the speed of the floor polisher and can be enabled in addition to any other mode.

The device lacks a suction system or a solid waste container. The cleaning process of the robotic mop consists of two rapidly rotating attachments with microfiber cloths, allowing for an intensive cleaning of the floor. Cleaning can be done either wet (the device's primary purpose) or dry (this simply requires no water being added to the cleaning pads).

According to the manufacturer, the noise level during operation does not exceed 48 dB. However, as actual testing showed, the noise level, depending on the selected mode, ranges from 64 to 74 dB, which is quite high.

Operating instructions

The Everybot RS700 user manual is included in the basic package. It contains information on preparations before starting the machine, safety precautions, a description of components and parameters, and a general overview of care and operation. Additionally, the manual explains the robotic mop's capabilities and cleaning modes.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Everybot RS700 model has the following advantages:

1. Wet and dry cleaning.
2. Autonomous operation lasting up to 100 minutes.
3. Compact dimensions, attractive external characteristics.
4. Ergonomic and durable body.
5. The cloths are automatically moistened during the cleaning process.
6. Control from the body and from the remote control.
7. Soft bumpers, obstacle and height difference sensors.

Since the device is quite expensive (around $200) and borders on the premium price range, the floor polisher must meet corresponding requirements. Based on this, we'll identify the obvious shortcomings of the Everybot RS700:

1. Limited cleaning area per cycle.
2. The device has poor spatial orientation, is unable to create a map of a room, and moves erratically, without a specific trajectory.
3. The device must be charged manually.
4. The volume of the washing panels is only 60 ml.
5. There is no movement limiter.
6. The actual noise level when the robotic floor polisher is operating is much higher than stated.
