iSweep X3: An affordable Chinese robot vacuum cleaner with a gyroscope and wet cleaning.

The Chinese iSweep X3 robot vacuum cleaner is designed for dry and wet cleaning, effectively removing dirt, dust, hair, and pet hair from floors. The robot navigates using infrared sensors and a gyroscope. Control is via a button on the body, as well as remotely via a smartphone app. The robot is priced at a budget price (although the iSweep X3 initially retails for around $180, the current price at the time of writing is only $80–$120). Later in the review, we'll take a closer look at what the manufacturer offers for this price, what features and functions the robot vacuum cleaner offers, and also provide a description of its accessories. Let's start with that.

Equipment

Let's start the review by listing what's included in the iSweep X3 package:

1. Robot vacuum cleaner.
2. Charging dock.
3. Power adapter.
4. Spare side brushes (2 pcs.).
5. Water tank.
6. Napkin.
7. Universal cleaning tool.
8. Operating instructions.
9. Guarantee.

The robot comes pre-installed with a lithium battery, a dust container, a turbo brush, and two side brushes. The iSweep X3 is delivered in a branded bag, inside which is a box containing the device itself and its accessories. The remote control and movement limiter are not included. Apparently, the manufacturer deemed these components unnecessary given the smartphone control feature.

It's important to note the robot vacuum cleaner's well-designed cleaning tool, which includes a blade for cutting off tangled hair and fur from the turbo brush.

Appearance

The iSweep X3 robot vacuum cleaner is made of high-quality plastic and has a round shape. The body, or more specifically its top cover, is colored "brown sugar," while the sides are white. The device's dimensions are 330 x 330 x 80 millimeters. It weighs 3 kilograms.

When viewing the robot from the front, a single, large, round button for autonomous operation is visible. The iSweep brand logo is located at the bottom. Also noteworthy is the tempered glass top cover, which protects the body from scratches and damage.

The front is equipped with a soft bumper with obstacle avoidance sensors, while the rear has ventilation holes and a key for removing the dust container.

The bottom of the iSweep X3 robot vacuum cleaner contains the drive wheels, front swivel caster, battery compartment, charging contacts, cliff sensors, two side brushes, and a center turbo brush. A water tank with a microfiber cloth can be installed here for wet cleaning.

Functional capabilities

The robot vacuum navigates and maneuvers between furniture items using built-in infrared obstacle and elevation sensors. The manufacturer also claims gyroscope-based angle correction. In practice, despite the iSweep X3's dedicated cleaning program, its movements appear chaotic and unstructured. However, this doesn't prevent it from quickly covering large areas. Cleaning coverage reaches approximately 90%-95%.

The robot vacuum cleaner cleans floors in three stages: sweeping, vacuuming, and damp mopping. For damp mopping, attach a special water tank and a microfiber cloth. The collected debris flows through the suction port and a channel into the 550-milliliter dust bin, which has a fine filter. This capacity should be sufficient for a couple of cleaning cycles, after which the dust bin should be removed and thoroughly cleaned of accumulated dust.

Only automatic and spot cleaning modes are available.

The iSweep X3 can also be programmed to a preset schedule, and a smartphone app can be downloaded for advanced control and monitoring of the robot's status. To install the app, scan the QR code in the operating instructions and sync it. The connection is provided via Wi-Fi.

We conclude our review with a list of the most notable advantages and noted disadvantages of the iSweep X3 robot vacuum cleaner.

Pros:

1. Affordable price.
2. Nice design, interesting body color.
3. Compactness, excellent cross-country ability.
