By the way, separate comparison of iClebo Arte and Omega We provided this information in the article we linked to. If you're choosing between the two robotic vacuum cleaners mentioned, it's best to read the dedicated material on these robots.

Analysis of characteristics

You can decide which iClebo robot vacuum cleaner is best for you without the help of sales consultants. We've conducted a detailed analysis of the key performance parameters of iClebo robots. Omega, Pop, Arte And Arte IronMan EditionIf you've decided to purchase one of Yujin Robot's models, this analysis will help you make your decision.

Price

The most affordable of the four models is the Pop, with an average price of $1.85. Next in order of price are the Arte models, averaging $250, and its "advanced" modification, the Arte IronMan Edition, priced at $32.9. The most expensive robot of the bunch is the new iClebo O5, priced at around $400 in 2019. Its predecessor (former flagship), the Omega, averages $360, but there are offers as high as $32,000.

Dust container volume

The Omega model has the largest dust container at 700 ml. The O5, Pop, Arte, and Arte IronMan Edition have a dust container capacity of 600 ml, which is also quite large.

Filter type

The premium O5 and Omega models feature a pleated antibacterial fine filter (HEPA E11). The Pop, Arte, and Arte IronMan Edition robot vacuums are equipped with a simple antibacterial fine filter.

Noise level

However, in this regard, iClebo Omega and O5 are inferior to Pop, Arte and Arte IronMan Edition, their noise level is 68 dB versus 55 dB for these models.

Suction power

There are no reliable data on the iClebo's suction power. The only caveat is that the Omega and O5 models have a turbo mode, which increases suction power for more effective cleaning of carpets.

Wet cleaning function

All iClebo robot vacuums included in the comparison include a wet cleaning function. The cloth is of very high quality, so it stays moist for a long time after being wetted. However, it's important to note that this function is more accurately described as wet mopping, as the cloth must be manually mopped. There is no separate container for automatic mopping.

Driving modes

The iClebo Pop has four movement modes:

• random cleaning algorithm;
• circular movements (local);
• along the walls;
• manual control.

The Arte and Arte IronMan Edition models are capable of cleaning in the following modes:

• auto;
• arbitrary (chaotic movement);
• maximum;
• local;
• manual.

The Omega and O5 models are equipped with the following cleaning modes:

• auto;
• maximum;
• local;
• manual;
• turbo mode.

All models except Pop are equipped with a timer and also have a delayed start cleaning mode.

Navigation and cartography

The Arte, Arte IronMan Edition, Omega, and O5 robots feature the company's unique vSLAM navigation and room mapping technology, as well as multiple sensors and a ceiling-based video camera. These cleaning robots can remember the location of objects in a room and recognize previously cleaned areas. The Pop model navigates using infrared sensors for obstacle proximity, elevation, charging station detection, and wheel tracking.

Control

Any of the vacuum cleaners reviewed can be controlled using buttons on the top panel or an infrared remote control. The new Arte IronMan Edition also supports control via an iOS or Android smartphone, allowing you to adjust the operating mode, set a timer, and trigger various alerts. This is extremely convenient and undoubtedly a significant advantage.

Incidentally, the new iClebo O5 is controlled via Alexa and Google Assistant. Furthermore, the manufacturers are even planning to implement compatibility with Yandex.Alice.

Let's sum it up

All iKlebo models are quite technologically advanced, have good equipment, appearance, and technical parameters; they differ only in additional options.

To understand which iClebo robot vacuum is best, it's important to consider the individual features of each device. The Pop model is the most affordable of the models available, with a weaker navigation system. The Arte IronMan Edition is a comic-book-themed version of the Arte, differing from its predecessor only in design and smartphone control. The ovoid-shaped Omega robot vacuum features improved technical specifications and a turbo mode, but is not controlled via a mobile app.

In this regard, the new iClebo O5 is the most functional. It's free of all the shortcomings of its predecessors, while remaining affordable compared to the previous flagship. When choosing between the Omega and the O5, we recommend choosing the new model.

Otherwise, the choice of a model from the iClebo line should be based, first and foremost, on your financial capabilities.

That concludes our comparison of iClebo robot vacuum cleaners. We hope you now understand the differences between the top models and which one is best for your needs.
