This is the ranking of the best robot vacuum cleaners of 2017. Choosing the right automated device is a purely personal decision, depending on the buyer's needs and budget. Finally, we recommend watching a video review comparing the best household robot models:
Thank you so much for your rating! I chose the Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 01. I think this robot is a great value for money, and I really like the design. I'll definitely be buying it!
Oh! And my robot is here too, we have the Genio Deluxe 370. I can confirm it's really good; we've never regretted buying it. So it's definitely worth mentioning in your ratings.
This review is pointless. What does budget have to do with it? The main function of a robot vacuum cleaner is to clean a room efficiently in a short time, mostly without human intervention. Excuse me, but why buy a Panda I5 or some E.zclean (which doesn't break into the top 100 sales charts) for that kind of money? When, for example, a Xiaomi is comparable in functionality and cleaning quality to a Roomba 980, yet costs a third as much? I understand that everything is for sale in this world, but I think a more professional approach to preparing this material is needed.
Not everyone can afford a robot vacuum cleaner for 30,000-45,000 rubles, so for many, a reasonable price while still offering basic features and optimal specifications is more important. If you've noticed, both the budget and more expensive models are topped by iRobot models—the market leader. Xiaomi is also in the rankings. So, your comments are completely irrelevant. Regarding "for sale," it's unclear what could possibly be sold when the rankings include all the well-known manufacturers and their top-of-the-line models.
I support the administrator! I couldn't afford a robot, let alone 30-40 thousand, or even 20. But I really needed an assistant. I ended up buying a very modest model, the Altarobot A150. Of course, it didn't relieve me of the cleaning, but at least it was some relief.
I just looked at this robot. Doesn't it even charge itself? And another question: does it leave debris? And how does it clean along walls?
Unfortunately, it doesn't have a built-in charger. But it cleans well, both along walls and in corners. It's just that its small battery can't cover a large area, so it's only suitable for small apartments.
I was very surprised when I didn't find a truly high-quality vacuum cleaner made in Germany in the premium segment, namely the Miele SJQL0 SCOUT RX1 robot vacuum cleaner, which is made from high-quality products in Germany, and not from Chinese plastic from who knows where!
