Before we could take advantage of the robotic vacuum cleaner in operation, the filter had used and the side brush are mounted. In addition, all transparent protective films had to be eliminated. He was then put on his charger until the battery was fully charged. This lasted for about 1 hour with us.
It is recommended to make the budget before commissioning robot accessible. This means:
- Leave lying around No cables open.
- Removal of lightweight, fragile items (. Eg toys, vases etc).
- Removing shag carpets, which are thicker than 2 cm.
Experience has shown us that even rocking chairs should be set aside because it there often bogged down and the error message indicating open spaces Please path. When you release the robotic vacuum cleaner out of the situation he drives though further, by raising it, however, has lost its orientation and does not find back to the charging station.
A big advantage is that the robotic vacuum cleaner operates totally alone, if all obstacles are out of the way, you can let the puck suck wonderful when you're not at home. For this purpose, the time programming is ideally suited because it is working properly.
Another advantage we see its D-form, because that he is also quite good in the corners. Occasionally, you should still nachputzen again, because all he gets is not always. He is with his 9 cm very flat and thus enabling you to otherwise inaccessible places, such as sucking under the bed, under cabinets or under the sofa. Because where else not easily get there, which is very convenient.
We were also convinced the suction force. It sucks efficiently. I've done several tests. Hair he sucks super, he also has all swallowed rye grains, bread crumbs were no problem at all. What was sucked not quite 100% were flour and sugar. Both were distributed and there were some small residues on the tiles. Since then had to help out yet another short hand broom.
The supplied tape is used to demarcate a certain area, which you do not want to have sucked. We have relocated our rocking chairs. He may be driven very close to it, but then changed direction.
The crash detection, we also tested several times. He was placed on the bed, on a table and in front of the stairs. The VR200 has always recognized that there is a danger of falling. Although he is driving very close range, but he's never fallen down.
Full credit he gets for easy filter cleaning. A vacuum cleaner nozzle and set in a few seconds the entire filter was empty. Very allergy-friendly. However, the filter is never really crowded, only about halfway. But that does not, since he is bagless. One can also simply remove the filter and drain manually. Thorough it is, however, if one sucks him.
With the remote control, we could not make friends really are. Which is kept quite plain and simple. It has the following keys:
- Start momentary (on and off)
- HOME button (back to the base station)
- SPOT button (for SPOT cleaning)
- ECO button (for longer and quieter suction)
- Direction keys for remote control
Starting with the remote control works great, but unfortunately he did not really respond to commands (right, left, forward and backward). It is a pity that you can not access the entire Goblin menu with the remote control. Infrared is also out of date. A Bluetooth remote control would be in my opinion meaningful and WLAN would also be advantageous.
For room cleaning, I can say that my SPOT cleaning like it very much. He then draws the selected small area thoroughly. This feature I use most frequently, to sometimes just suck at the table or in the kitchen, where it was cooked.
Was tested on the following coverings:
- Tiles
- Carpet
- Laminate
Pro:
- Very good processing quality = Vorwerk
- High suction power
- Quick and easy filter cleaning
- Battery power
- D - form, which he sucked in the corners
- Schedule function
- Easy operation
Cons:
- High price
- Remote control does not always respond and may be high
Conclusion:
A super home help, he takes off a lot of work. For us it is in use every day. It sucks thoroughly and the result is good but he is with 749 euros a bit pricey. For the price I would like to see a better remote control.
