Tencent Digital (Wang John) Roomba 880 is iRobot's new sweeping robot and the company's first 8-series product. It will take over the price of the Roomba 790, which is currently priced at US$699 (about 4,633 yuan).

So what's different about this new machine? At first glance, it looks like there is not much change with other models of sweepers, but if you turn over this sweeping robot, you will find some new changes, AeroForce technology, we will detail later, this technology For home sweeping robots, performance can be improved a lot.

Indeed, I would recommend the Roomba 880 to those who prefer high-end sweeping robots, which are more powerful than the Roomba 790 with $699.99 (worth about RMB 4640) and worth buying. Compared with the LG Hom-Bot Square sweeping robot of 799.99 US dollars (about 5303 yuan), the performance is even stronger. Of course, the Infinuvo CleanMate QQ5, which costs $349.99 (about RMB2,321), is not comparable.

Overall, the Roomba 880 is a perfect home sweeping robot, but it still needs to be perfect in some functions, not every test can get the first place. For example, cleaning the pet hair, Roomba 880 performance is very general, and $ 449.99 (about 2984 yuan) Neato Robotics XV Signature Pro seems to be better able to do the job.

design

Roomba 880 weighs about 3.8 kg, looks very cute, and performance is very strong. It is 9.14 centimeters in height and 35.3 centimeters in width. Its outer shell is painted in black, unlike the dark blue appearance of the Roomba 790. This machine also thoughtfully designed a handle that can be easily handled.





Design style, Roomba 880 uses the traditional style of iRobot series sweeping robot, the appearance of mellow, and set the power button in the middle of the machine obvious position. The company clearly hopes that the Roomba 880 will maintain its past publicity, simple design and sturdy structure.

Inside the machine is a removable suction bin that can be easily removed with a single button. There is a wheel on the left and right, and there is a movable universal wheel in front of the machine. In addition, there is a debris cleaner and side brush. In addition to the sweeping robot itself, the product also includes a home charging base, two virtual wall (lighthouse) sensors, a spare HEPA filter, and a remote control with two AA batteries.



Features

The biggest feature of the Roomba 880 sweeping robot is the use of the new AeroForce cleaning system. This system includes two brush cleaners that rotate inwards to increase the suction power by rolling in an opposite direction. In addition, it also incorporates a high-efficiency vacuum system and XLife battery that can extend the working hours.


Four small buttons are set below the top of the sweeping robot's display, which are: return charge, clock, appointment, and key cleaning. After returning to the charging button, the robot can automatically find the charging base for charging. Select the clock button to set the date and time. The Appointment button sets the machine to perform specific cleaning tasks on a certain day of the week. The key cleaning button can control the robot to focus on a small area. In this program, the sweeping robot can rotate a small area with a radius of about 90 centimeters from inside to outside, and then return to the origin.


Roomba 880 also has some indicators that can show the sweep mode or need to be charged. When the cradle is being charged, the battery indicator will flash amber, and when fully charged, the indicator will turn solid green, and the red LED shows that the battery is exhausted. The dirt detection function can detect a large amount of debris and other dirt in the area and perform key cleaning operations. If there is a problem with the machine, the corresponding fault indicator lights up. The anti-wrap indicator lights up when the sweeper tries to get out of the winding and there is a dust box full indicator. When this indicator lights up, it means that you need to clean the dust box.

You can operate the cleaning program directly on the Roomba 880 robot, or you can arrange the cleaning time in advance and place the robot on the charging base. Once it is time it will automatically start working. It is also possible to directly control the cleaning robot by remote control. The remote controller can also change the direction of the robot's travel. If you need to operate the sweeping robot in a designated room, you can place the virtual wall in the corresponding room so that the robot can clean the designated room until it needs to be charged before returning to the charging base.

Practicality

This sweeping robot is very easy to use, allowing regular cleaning, cleaning of key areas, or creating your own cleaning schedule. You can also set up virtual walls and lighthouses with the appropriate accessories, confine cleaning work to a room, or help guide it through to clean the entire room and return to charging after completing work. Roomba 880 doesn't require much manipulation or interaction.

Roomba 880 can automatically detect the level of ground cleaning. If the battery has not reached the end of its effectiveness, it will automatically return to charging and continue to work after it is full. It can be quite complicated to do this, because you can't accurately estimate the time needed to clean a room, especially when it is used for the first time.

So, if you are in a hurry, sweeping robots are not the most effective cleaning tool. Of course, it will use advanced algorithms to allow the robot to cover the largest area in the shortest time, but if you want to quickly clean the house, the Roomba 880 may not be able to. Although the ease of use of this machine is very high, the working speed needs to be improved.

In addition, although it is convenient to remove the dust box, if it is taken out incorrectly, the waste may be spilled. And because the dust box is not big enough, it needs to be cleaned after each use. It is also recommended to clean the filter 6 times a year, clean the rotating brush every 4 months, if the family has pets, the cleaning frequency should also be corresponding increase. The various sensors of the machine also need to be cleaned regularly so as not to affect the use.

When the robot is working, you don't need to perform any operation, but when the robot is not working, the sweeping robot with low maintenance cost may also be a little troublesome. Because its body is very small, it can be easily moved. As a result, there is still a gap between the cleaning effect and the traditional vacuum cleaner.

performance

First of all, it can be said that the Roomba 880 sweeping robot's various sensor performance is perfect, it built a cliff sensor, once the stairs in the studio will automatically change the direction of travel, so that the machine will not fall. The setting of the virtual wall and the lighthouse is also very good, can limit the robot work area or guide it to clean the entire room. I use this robot to test in the living room, it can pass very low armchairs, media centers and coffee tables can also easily enter, very good.

Rice test


I used rice for testing in an area of ​​the office and the test results were very good. The test used mid-velvet rugs, underlay rugs, and hardwood floors. The Roomba 880 has been leading the test on three types of ground compared to the other four sweeping robots. After 2.5 oz. of rice was sprinkled on the floor, the robot was cleaned. The effect was very obvious. The micro-side brush played a big role. No matter what the location of the rice, as long as the robot passed the place, the cleaning was very clean and quickly transferred to the set. In the dust box, it will not block the suction port. Roomba 880 inhaled 2.38 ounces of rice on the mid-velvet rug, inhaled 2.43 ounces on the ground wool carpet, and 2.33 ounces on the hardwood floor. The weight of rice sucked by the Neato sweeping robot was 2.05 ounces, 2.33 ounces and 2.13 ounces, respectively. Smart was ranked third, followed by the Roomba 790, and the average weight of inhaled rice was 2.25 ounces.

This test is still very close to reality, because you often watch TV on the carpet in the living room to eat snacks, restaurants under the table is also a place where debris, Roomba 880's performance tells us that no matter what kind of ground, it is The cleanliness is very clean, although this is the first time we tested this model, but the previous Roomba 790 test has told us that the iRobot sweeping robot performs absolutely well in the vacuum field.

Pet hair test


For people who keep pets at home, choosing a sweeping robot is critical. Take the Roomba 790 as an example. This sweeping robot performed very well in other tests, only losing to the pet hair test. Perhaps it is for this reason that iRobot redesigned the Roomba 880 to replace it. The new robot has a bristle brush to easily collect pet hair.

Overall, the Roomba 880 performs much better than the Roomba 790 in cleaning pet hair, but the Neato sweeping robot is still the best performer in pet hair cleansing tests. The Roomba 880 score is closely followed by other models. It is far behind. Therefore, if you need a sweeping robot with comprehensive cleaning ability, you can choose Roomba 880, and if only for pet hair cleaning, or Neato more professional.

In tests using 0.2 ounces of pet hair, it was found that Neato can collect 0.15 ounces of hair on the mid- and mid-sized carpets and 0.18 ounces on hardwood floors. The Roomba 880 can collect 0.12 ounces on a mid-sized carpet, 0.1 oz on a piled rug, and 0.17 ounces on a hardwood floor. The result is not too bad.

iRobot's new AeroForce cleaning system is better than the previous Roomba model in terms of anti-winding, but if your hair is very long and easy to lose hair, if you happen to have a pet dog such as a shepherd dog in the house, then it will be troublesome. The picture below is after 10 minutes of cleaning the living room.


However, in real life, this phenomenon is not very common. There is no such exaggeration in pet hair testing in the office. However, in my living room, the Roomba 880 can be said to have met an adversary. Perhaps it is my request for cleaning robots. It's too high.

Sawdust sand mixing test


Mixing sand and sawdust can be a rigorous test. They can be deeply carbon fiber and difficult to extract. I really want to say that the Roomba 880 performed well in this test. Unfortunately, this is not the case. All types of sweeping robots are on this item. Nothing in the test, especially tests performed on thick carpets, is a complete mess.

In a 1.25-ounce sand wood chip mixture test, the Roomba 880 collected 0.4 oz on the mid-velvet rug, and finished second. Neato collected 0.42 ounces, slightly better, and Neato collected 0.43 ounces on the velvet carpet. On the hardwood floor, Roomba 880 performed better, collecting 1.18 ounces, Roomba 790 ranked second with 1.12 ounces, and Neato ranked third with a score of 1.12.

At present, Roomba sweeping robots have the ground debris detection function, so the new model of this function is not new, but compared with other models without this feature, there is still a certain advantage than the previous generation of Roomba 790 clean The effect is even better. Robotic suction is an important parameter, and the use of more advanced technology is also a key factor.

However, the current cleaning capacity of sweeping robots is not as good as that of traditional vacuum cleaners. If someone compares sweeping robots with vacuum cleaners, the result is certainly disappointing. But the most important thing is to remember that do not spill sand and sawdust into the carpet.

in conclusion



With more and more brands and models of sweeping robots, the Roomba 880 can surpass almost all competing models, even more powerful than the same brand of Roomba 790. Whether it is on the carpet or on the hardwood floor has superior cleaning ability. As for the removal of debris, it can be effectively cleaned except for the mixture of sand and sawdust.

Under normal circumstances, sweeping robots can not replace traditional vacuum cleaners, because there are still many technical barriers to break through from the structure, but because sweeping robots do not need to be operated manually, they can be used as an effective complement to household cleaning equipment. For this reason, we are still relatively new to this new thing and may still feel a little extravagant, although many sweeping robots are still very clean. If you just like these home gadgets, like to try new things and high-tech products, then act quickly. For me, although it can't clean the floor as well as a mop and a vacuum cleaner, it is definitely a big thing to be able to clean up the dead corner under the furniture.
