The 2015 model that won the 2016 National PRODUCT OF THE YEAR Award in the Home Appliances category. Robot vacuum cleaners” and which caused heated debate among the experts who tested it.
SAMSUNG VR20H9050UW/EV POWERbot robot vacuum cleaner
The manufacturer positions it as a model that has a very high suction power for a robot-vacuum cleaner and the most powerful among Samsung robots. Inverter motor is not an innovation, but it is a progressive technology for robots and helps to vary suction power: if the surface is heavily polluted the motor operates at full power, if not – it saves battery power and itself too, of course.
Cyclonic dust filtration is very unusual for a robot and improves the quality of cleaning: the cyclone always helps to ensure that the suction power does not fall, but remains constant.
Among the design features of the model – no side brushes, but the presence of an extended main brush: according to the manufacturer, it should be enough. The squared shape of the body part is another characteristic feature, enabling the robot to clean corners well. Large Easy Pass™ wheels help you get around quite high thresholds. There is also an uncomfortable moment: the body is too high. Easy Pass™ wheels help you get around quite high thresholds The vacuum does not crawl under furniture with legs lower than 19 cm, when the standard height of furniture legs is 11-12 cm.
High-tech “stuffing” is the strong point of the model. Many sensors help to navigate perfectly, build a map of the area, find particularly dirty areas. The panoramic FullView Sensor™ avoids collision with even the smallest objects, the Visionary Mapping plus system helps it navigate freely in space.
Now for the programs. Auto mode is a gradual movement around the room, taking over the entire room. Max mode – sweeping until the battery is fully discharged. First, the robot moves along the walls, then it zigzags inside the room. In Spot mode, the robot moves in a meter diameter spiral and removes localized dirt. The manual mode is used for cleaning individual places, which can be defined with the remote control. Silence mode with noise reduction up to 69dB and reduced suction power. Point Cleaning – unusual mode: the remote control, like a laser pointer, outlines the zone of contamination – and the robot obediently cleans exactly there.
