Review of 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner C50-1

Today we will get acquainted with the robot vacuum cleaner 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner C50-1. From the attractive – high suction power, control from both a smartphone and a remote control, as well as a wet cleaning mode. And the price is only $ 190. Let's understand – what do we offer for this rather modest (for a robot vacuum cleaner) money?

Exterior

The device is delivered in a cardboard box with a minimal design and quite familiar dimensions for this category. Standard equipment: together with the vacuum cleaner itself, we receive a container for wet cleaning (with one rag), a base station, a mains power supply with three plugs for different types of sockets, a control panel with a set of batteries, as well as a tool for cleaning the vacuum cleaner and waste paper.

Now let's look at the vacuum cleaner itself. The top cover is very stylish. It is a glossy plastic that looks like glass. The rest of the hull is black as coal. Dimensions-31.5 cm in diameter and 7.9 cm in height. The weight is 2.1 kg. The vacuum cleaner is not high, and since there is nothing protruding on the top cover (there is no lidar, and the power button protrudes quite a bit), the vacuum cleaner will easily pass under different objects and furniture. According to the device, everything is quite standard – there is a bumper in the front, a power toggle switch on the side, but the top cover is non-removable, the container is installed at the back, but more on it later.

Let's look at the vacuum cleaner from below. There are two side brushes, and they are fixed with small screws. It is a pity that there are no spare parts in the kit. There are height sensors so that the vacuum cleaner does not fall from a height. The turbo brush is simple, with one row of soft pile. Of course, it is removed for cleaning (remember about the complete tool for care).

The container is installed at the back, to remove it, you need to press the large button. Pre-installed is a regular dust container of a decent volume of 510 ml. The air filtration is triple, but two layers of three are ordinary fine-mesh plastic mesh, and between them is a HEPA dust filter. The first removable plastic filter will need to be cleaned, and we recommend that you shake out the HEPA filter after each emptying of the container.

Also included is a container for wet cleaning. Dry and wet cleaning is carried out separately, but each of the containers has a decent volume. So, the tank for filling the liquid has a volume of 310 ml, and a pump is installed, it is possible to adjust the speed of water supply from the application on the smartphone (more on it later), which guarantees a uniform supply and no leakage during downtime. The cleaning cloth is of course removable (after all, after cleaning it will need to be cleaned).

Software

To control the robot, in principle, the remote control that is included in the kit is quite enough – it has all the key commands, such as returning to the base for charging, choosing one of several cleaning modes, etc. So even a child and an elderly person can start cleaning.

But still, a modern robot vacuum cleaner must be controlled from a smartphone, so for complete happiness, you need to install proprietary software. You will need to register, and the procedure for adding a new device is as simple as possible (thanks to detailed hints) and does not take much time.

What can I do with my smartphone? Of course, you can start cleaning, and this can be done both in manual mode and according to a schedule, select cleaning modes (spot cleaning, perimeter cleaning, zigzag), set the suction power (3 modes plus the "Auto" mode) and the degree of moistening of the rag (when choosing wet cleaning), view the history of cleaning, view the remaining resource of consumables, and update the firmware.

My own experience

Now let's talk about the practical part. First, about the numbers – the maximum suction power is 2600 Pa. It is worth noting that now on the market – this is one of the most powerful robots in this parameter. Even more expensive competitors can not always boast of such figures, and the power of about 2000 Pa is quite an average figure, which is also found in models that cost 2-3 times higher. And here as much as 2600 Pa. The vacuum cleaner runs for up to two hours from the built-in 2800 mAh battery, but this is when choosing a low suction power. At maximum operating time, of course, much lower (about 20-30 minutes), but objectively such power is only needed for carpets with high pile. And they usually do not occupy such a large area that the vacuum cleaner does not have time to clean them during this time. And note – if this vacuum cleaner can be cleaned on such a coating, then less powerful competitors will not. The charging time is about 5 hours.

Thanks to the setting of the degree of moisture of the rag, the user will be able to choose the degree of humidity of the floor to their taste. If someone likes the cleaning to be well, very wet-you can do it this way. If we talk about the area, then one fully filled tank can wash an area of 40 m2 to 120 m2 (depending on the selected water supply intensity).

Conclusions

In general, 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner C50-1 leaves a pleasant impression. The first key point is the high suction power, very high. This robot can do what its competitors will do-a carpet with a high pile. The second is dry and wet cleaning, and wet cleaning is full-fledged-with a pump for water supply and a fairly large container. The third is good autonomy (up to two hours of operation at low power, which is enough for high-quality cleaning of laminate/linoleum). Fourth - the ability to control both from a smartphone and from a remote control. And as the cherry on the cake – more than adequate price-only 13 thousand rubles.

The only thing you can complain about is the lack of spare consumables (brushes, rags and filters), but this is offset by the presence of official distributors in the Russian Federation. This means that there will be no problems with the service or with the purchase of consumables in online stores.

In general, this model will be a good solution when choosing your first robot vacuum cleaner. 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner C50-1 will meet the needs of most customers. For this money, it is a very decent choice.
