2. Power adapter.
3. Remote control with batteries.
4. Two side brushes + a set of two spare brushes.
5. Central turbo brush.

Design

This model has an appearance similar to the model H-VCRQ70The only difference is the color of the stripes and inserts—in the Hyundai H-VCRQ80, they are gold instead of purple. Overall, the robot vacuum cleaner has a round shape, and its body is made of white plastic.

On the front of the unit is a touchscreen display that displays information about the current battery charge, the selected mode, and the timer settings. Below is a button that accesses the solid waste container.

The side of the robot vacuum cleaner features a soft, low-thrust bumper and room-detection sensors to protect the body from scratches and damage in collisions. There are also exhaust vents and a port for connecting the power adapter and charging directly from the wall.

A rear view of the robot reveals two drive wheels and a front swivel caster for propulsion. To prevent the vacuum from falling down stairs or other tall objects, the bottom is equipped with height-detection sensors. Additionally, the bottom houses side brushes, a central brush for more effective carpet cleaning, a suction port, two small contact pads for docking and charging, a battery compartment cover, and an on/off button. A damp cloth can be attached to the bottom for wiping surfaces.

Functional capabilities

The Hyundai H-VCRQ80 robot vacuum cleaner operates using two side brushes that sweep away debris like a broom, a central turbo brush for enhanced cleaning of carpets and hair and pet hair, and a suction port that directs collected dust and dirt into the dust bin. The dust bin is equipped with a HEPA filter, which captures even the smallest dust particles, leaving the air much cleaner and fresher.

If you attach a microfiber cloth to the bottom of the robot, pre-wetting it with water, the machine will be able to wipe your floors.

Overview of the Hyundai H-VCRQ80 robot vacuum cleaner modes:

1. Random cleaning – the robot vacuum cleaner moves in a straight line until it encounters an obstacle. It then changes its route and continues moving in a straight line until it encounters another obstacle.
2. Local/Local Mode – The Hyundai H-VCRQ80 vacuum cleaner moves in an expanding spiral from the center to the edges of the room in a small cleaning area. Then, the unit moves back in a decreasing spiral.
3. Angle Cleaning – The robot moves in a straight line until it detects any angle, then moves along it until it finds a new angle.
4. Automatic – a mode that combines the three previous ones, which are launched in accordance with the surrounding environment.

The Hyundai H-VCRQ80 robot vacuum cleaner can be moved manually using the remote control. You can also set a delayed start using the built-in timer.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the robot vacuum cleaner in question:

1. Good lithium-ion battery and suction power.
2. Touch screen on the body.
3. Six sensors for spatial orientation.
4. Wet cleaning function, timer for delayed start of the device.
5. Turbo brush for effective cleaning of carpets.

Disadvantages of a robot vacuum cleaner:

1. A major drawback is the lack of a movement limiter.
2. Outdated navigation system.
3. There is no programming for starting by days of the week.

Considering all the pros and cons, it's safe to say that this isn't the best robot vacuum in its price range. For $200 (the average price of this model in 2018), you can choose a robot vacuum that's app-controlled and offers better cleaning results.
