iClebo Arte

The iClebo Arte robot vacuum cleaner is distinguished by high quality workmanship and a number of rational design solutions, albeit not always original. These include two side brushes of the correct design - not just with pile, but also with flexible leads, a dust collector with a top cover, a simple filter element of the air filter, which, if necessary, can be made from a suitable material, a base station with "secrets", etc. At the same time, the robot performs cleaning quickly and thoroughly enough, except perhaps unnecessarily fearing physical contact with obstacles that it detects with remote sensors. As a result, it does not always drive into tight spaces and may leave some debris along the walls.

The first impression of the design of the robot: it was made solidly, wisely. High-quality assembly, high-quality plastic, nothing dangles, no backlash. Pay special attention to the chassis: unlike a number of designs from other companies, two large wheels are leading here, a small wheel, rather, not even a guide, only an additional support. The drive wheels, more precisely, the tracks, on which the vacuum cleaner piles with all 2.8 kg of its weight, are equipped with independent drives and, if necessary, rotate freely in different directions, allowing the robot to practically spin in one place.

The side 3-blade brushes fit tightly, hold on securely and require considerable effort to remove. The container for the collected garbage snaps into place securely, does not dangle, the mop attached to it and the mop cloth attached to it with Velcro hold securely, without bending or fraying even after prolonged use.

In a word, in terms of design and execution, the impressions are purely positive. The lithium-ion battery is located in a compartment between the axles of the front brushes, behind the front wheel; access for replacement is opened after unscrewing one single bolt.

The robot's vacuum cleaner is a vacuum cleaner, it sucks in everything that is supplied to it by two side brushes and the main brush, which, in turn, also sweeps dust into the garbage container. The robot is equipped with 20 sensors, optical and mechanical, which allows it to clearly detect walls and other obstacles, to contact them with delicate touch, without blows and other fanaticism. In the description of the robot, it is noted that a special processor polls the sensors at a frequency of 200 times per second.

Particularly impressive is the work of the floor sensors, which prevent the robot from falling down, for example, from a step, and not so much the sensors themselves as the speed of the robot's reaction - the agility with which it "bounces" from such obstacles. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this material, especially the segment with the robot traveling on the table.

It is really nimble, stubborn (in a good way), and if used according to the instructions, on appropriate surfaces, it shows a very high quality of cleaning. In addition, he is handsome, he confidently finds the docking station and clearly listens to the remote control. Verdict: definitely worth the money.

The iClebo Arte robot vacuum cleaner is the current model for today. It has many interesting features and tricks that allow this vacuum cleaner to become the number one among all representatives of household cleaning robots.

The first thing that catches your eye is, of course, the design. Somewhat reminiscent of the design of the robotic vacuum cleaners iRobot Roomba. The same stylish and expensive. Carbon-style styling. Will look great in any modern interior.

As with the previous model, the iClebo Arte has a built-in camera that sits on top of the case. The camera takes pictures of the ceiling and builds a map of the room along which the automatic cleaner is moving. If the vacuum cleaner was unable to clean the entire room on one charge (which is unlikely, since the new Arte uses a lithium-ion battery, with an excellent cleaning time of up to 120 minutes and a short charging time of 110 minutes), it will return to the base, recharge and will continue cleaning exactly where you left off last time. This is possible precisely because of the function of building a map of the room, that is, the vacuum cleaner knows exactly where it has already been cleaned, and where it has not yet, and how then to return to the base in the shortest way.

Like previous models from Yujin Robot, the Arte can be used as a floor polisher. This means you can add a microfiber cloth block to the turbo unit. Yes, this is not a full-fledged wet cleaning, it is produced by the only robot vacuum cleaner so far - iRobot Scooba 450. But still, using a floor polisher, you can effectively remove fine dust that has settled on smooth surfaces such as parquet, tiles, laminate.

The Arte model from the Korean company, of course, deserves attention. Unlike the previous Smart model, the iClebo Arte is a more sophisticated version of the automatic cleaner. He will be able to remove more, easily cope with carpets with high pile (up to 20 mm) and will perfectly fit into any modern interior. If you have the opportunity to purchase the Arte, you will be satisfied with it and will use it for a long time without the need to change the battery (as is often the case with other vacuum cleaners with nickel-metal hydride batteries) or the occurrence of any other unpleasant little things.
