iPlus x700
We've mentioned many times that the sub-$200 price segment is the most popular on the robot vacuum market. For this price, you can choose a model that will handle the task well and also be adept at navigating medium and large spaces. In this review, we'll focus on the iPlus x700, which recently hit the market, replacing the previously released model. iPlus X600, and costs about $180. In this review, we will tell the site's readers robovac.washerhouse.comWhat are the characteristics, functions, advantages and disadvantages of the iPlus x700?

iPlus package
Overall, the kit is complete, including all necessary accessories and even spare consumables. It's important to note that there's no virtual wall, but you can restrict cleaning zones using the smartphone app.
Design
The robot vacuum cleaner's body is not unique; a similar design has already been used by several manufacturers, including iLife, Panda, Kitfort, and others. However, the color scheme is unusual: the combination of white and bronze gives the robot a unique look.
The company logo, dust bin cover, and touch-sensitive "Start/Pause" button are located on the top. A soft-touch mechanical bumper is located at the front, allowing the robot to detect obstacles and the boundaries of the cleaning area.
Top view
There are ventilation holes at the back and a connector on the side for connecting the power adapter directly to the robot.

Functional capabilities
Let's begin our overview of the iPlus x700's features with the robot vacuum's navigation. It's equipped with a gyroscope, allowing it to move in a serpentine motion and map the room using 2D SLAM mapping. It can clean up to 80 square meters, which is plenty for keeping an apartment or house clean.
Speaking of cleaning technology, the robot can simultaneously vacuum and wet-mop the floor. To do this, attach a special nozzle with a cloth attached to the bottom of the body. The nozzle holds up to 180 ml of water, enough for one cleaning cycle.
Thanks to its powerful suction and suction port, the robot is capable of cleaning hard floors effectively, picking up not only small debris but also pet hair and long hair. This is why the manufacturer added the "Pet Series" prefix to the model name.
The iPlus x700 can be controlled not only by remote control but also via a mobile app. The app offers the following features:
- Suction power adjustment.
- Selecting a cleaning mode.
- Setting up a work schedule.
- Return to base.
- Display the map in real time.
- Installing virtual walls.
Overall, this functionality is sufficient for automatically maintaining cleanliness in the home. It's missing the ability to adjust the wetness of the wipe, but this requires a dedicated tank with electronic adjustment.
Let's sum it up
In conclusion, let's highlight the main pros and cons of the iPlus x700. Among the advantages, I would like to highlight:
- The presence of a gyroscope.
- Combined dry and wet cleaning.
- Control via application.
- Building a map of the premises.
- Good equipment.
- Good obstacle clearance.
Of the downsides, the only significant one we found is the inability to adjust the cloth's wetting level. We also consider the lack of a turbo brush a negative. It's important to note that there are many robot vacuum cleaners under $200 that offer camera- or lidar-based navigation, advanced wet cleaning, and a central brush. A list of the best is provided in the article: https://robovac.washerhouse.com/en/rejtingi/robovac-top-7-robotov-pylesosov-do-20-tys-rublej.htmlWe recommend paying attention to these robots first; most of them offer superior cleaning quality.
