The Kitfort KT-531 is a modern generation of automated robotic vacuum cleaners without a turbo brush. Despite its lack of one, this device does a good job of picking up hair and fur, as well as small debris from dry, flat flooring (wood, laminate, ceramic tile, linoleum). The manufacturer designed this vacuum cleaner for use in homes and small offices. Today's Kitfort KT-531 review will reveal all the robot's capabilities in more detail.

Since the charging station is not included in the kit, the device must be recharged manually from the mains.

Appearance

The Kitfort KT-531 robot vacuum cleaner has a traditional robotic design, with a round shape when viewed from the front. The body is made of white plastic and has a neat and attractive appearance. The top panel houses a dust bin access flap, an infrared receiver, a single mechanical power button, and an operation indicator.

Functional capabilities

This is a budget model, so don't expect any superpowers from the device. However, the robot vacuum cleaner will happily perform its intended function of automatically cleaning all types of hard floors using two side brushes and a suction port. The collected debris then falls into the dust bin, which needs to be emptied. Its capacity is small, so you'll likely need to empty it after each cleaning cycle. The dust bin is equipped with two filters: a coarse filter and an anti-allergy HEPA filter.

Dust collector

The bristles of the side brushes, which extend beyond the robot vacuum cleaner's dimensions, allow you to effectively remove dust along baseboards, furniture, door frames, and other similar objects.

Before cleaning, place the Kitfort KT-531 on the floor and turn it on by pressing the button on the side. The robot will then enter standby mode. Next, press the "Start/Stop" button on the top of the robot or on the remote control to begin cleaning.

Robot power button

Overview of the Kitfort robot vacuum cleaner's cleaning modes:

Automatic. Activated by pressing the "Auto" button on the remote control. In this mode, the robotic cleaner automatically selects the optimal cleaning pattern for the given conditions.
Wall-Line Cleaning. This mode is activated by pressing the "Edge" button on the remote control and is designed for cleaning along the perimeter of a room (along walls and in corners).
Random cleaning. To activate this mode, press the "Random" button on the remote control. In this mode, the robot vacuum navigates and selects a path based on information received from obstacle sensors. It always starts with a zigzag path.

Cleaning and maintaining the Kitfort KT-531 is not at all difficult. Simply periodically wipe the body and sensors with a dry, soft cloth, clean the side brushes of hair, wool, and threads that have become tangled around them, and empty the dust container.

Operating instructions

The Kitfort KT-531 user manual contains the following information: general information, component parts, a description of the automated robotic cleaner, preparation, operation, cleaning and maintenance, battery replacement, care and storage, and troubleshooting. It also includes technical specifications and safety precautions.

Advantages and disadvantages

So, let's sum up the Kitfort KT-531 review and determine the advantages and disadvantages of this robot vacuum cleaner model.

Advantages:

Classic and pleasant appearance.
Small body size.
Good maneuverability.
Affordable price for buyers.
Easy to operate and maintain.
Three different operating modes.
Availability of remote control.
HEPA filter installed in the waste collection container.

Flaws:

A low-power nickel-metal hydride battery that is not used in newer generation devices.
Low suction power and cleaning area.
Manual charging.
Small dust collector capacity.

Of course, a robot vacuum cleaner doesn't have any special capabilities for cleaning carpets, mopping floors, mapping rooms, or disinfecting surfaces. It doesn't have the ability to automatically recharge from a docking station or limit the cleaning area. However, given its low price (around $70 in 2018), it performs its dry cleaning program perfectly. For its price range, it's a perfectly good option.
