VITEK VT-1805
The VITEK VT-1805 robotic vacuum cleaner is an automatic wet and dry room cleaner that avoids obstacles thanks to a built-in gyroscopic system and a set of IR sensors. A soft bumper provides additional protection, preventing the robot from being damaged or inflicted when colliding with surrounding objects, such as table legs, chairs, walls, and so on. The model is listed on the manufacturer's website at $375, while popular retailers sell for around $160. The difference is significant. In this review, we'll explore the key features, specifications, and functions of the VITEK VT-1805 robotic vacuum cleaner to determine whether it's worth purchasing or whether another model would be better.
Equipment
VITEK VT-1805 delivery set:
- Robot vacuum cleaner.
- Charging base.
- Power adapter.
- Side brushes (2 main + 1 spare).
- Water tank.
- Microfiber cloth.
- Magnetic limiting tape.
- Instructions.
As you can see from the package overview, this time the manufacturer has included a magnetic strip in the box, allowing you to delimit cleaning zones. This will protect fragile items, pet bowls, and other items from the robot's actions, as well as provide additional protection for the device itself from damage and falls.
Appearance
The VITEK VT-1805 robot vacuum cleaner has a traditional round shape. The body is made of two materials: plastic and aluminum. The model is available in a white and blue color scheme. The robot's body measures 325 x 325 x 80 mm. Overall, the design is simple and minimalist. The design is uncluttered, making it attractive.
Looking at the front panel, we see a silver power button. The VITEK brand logo is also present.
Top view
The front of the robot vacuum cleaner features a spring-loaded bumper and sensors to protect the body from damage in the event of collisions with obstacles. A button for removing the dust bin is located at the rear.
Side view
The rear of the VT-1805 features drive wheels, a swivel castor, charging pads, cliff sensors, a battery compartment, a main turbo brush, and two additional side brushes for sweeping dust and dirt from under baseboards and corners. A dedicated area on the bottom allows the user to attach a microfiber cleaning pad for wet cleaning.
Bottom view
Overall, the robot's design is unremarkable: standard side and center brushes, standard wheels, and a dust collector. Everything is in keeping with the best traditions of budget robot vacuums priced at $120-$170.
Technical specifications
The main characteristics of VITEK VT-1805 are summarized in the table:
| Type of cleaning | Dry and wet |
| Power supply | Li-Ion battery |
| Battery capacity | 2500 mAh |
| Opening hours | 2 hours |

| Waste container capacity | 500 ml |
| Water tank capacity | 100 ml |
| Dimensions | 325*325*80 mm |
| Weight | 3 kg |
| Noise level | 65 dB |
As for specifications, the robot vacuum cleaner's maneuverability is weak, as is its suction power. The dust container is basically standard.
Functional capabilities
The robotic vacuum cleaner's navigation system includes a gyroscopic navigation system, eleven obstacle sensors, and four anti-drop sensors. This system allows the device to turn with precision and maintain the correct route. When carpet is detected, the vacuum automatically increases suction power to improve cleaning efficiency.
To clean various types of flooring, the robot is equipped with side brushes and a central turbo brush, which allows it to clean not only smooth floors but also carpets and rugs with a pile height of up to ten millimeters. The collected debris and dust are directed through the suction port into a 500-milliliter dust collector with coarse and fine filters.
The VITEK VT-1805 robot vacuum cleaner has the following operating modes:
- standard cleaning;
- around the perimeter;
- in a circle;
- along the established trajectory.
Driving modes
The kit includes a magnetic tape that limits the area to be cleaned on the floor, which is very convenient.
Magnetic tape
In addition, there's a wet cleaning mode, which is especially useful for apartments and houses with children or pets. If any difficulties arise during operation, the robot will alert owners with an audible notification.
Wet cleaning
The VITEK VT-1805 robot vacuum cleaner can be controlled via the Tuya Smart App. Available for Android and iOS, the app lets you select not only the operating mode but also schedule cleaning.

Advantages and disadvantages
If we consider this model as an option for purchase for $160, the advantages are as follows:
- Nice appearance.
- Warranty and service.
- Different modes + wet cleaning.
- Magnetic tape.
- Control from a smartphone.
Cons:
- Quality of the body material.
- Weak suction power.
- Remote control is missing.
- The need to additionally wet the microfiber cloth.
- Insufficient quality and efficiency of cleaning.
In conclusion, I'd like to add that, according to real user reviews, this robot vacuum cleaner doesn't live up to its claims in practice. Floor cleaning performance leaves much to be desired, and the manufacturer has room for improvement. This is especially true considering the device's hefty price tag. At $370, this model is completely unconsidered.
