On a long leash: robot vacuum cleaner Jisiwei S +
Robotic home appliances are the most promising direction of development: interesting, practically applicable, and the widest field for creativity of large companies and small private workshops. Unlike the IT industry, the market is not yet full, competition is weak. But for some reason, the counters do not break from Wi-Fi-controlled kettles, stoves with a webcam in the oven and other familiar objects. On the other hand, many people have released vacuum cleaning robots, and over the past ten years they have moved from the category of wonderful wonders to the category of assistants for housewives. Among other innovations, communication skills are most in demand, and the average price for robotic cleaners has decreased.
JISIWEI S + is one of the representatives of the modern dust-collecting equipment for the house with the possibility of remote control.
But first things first.
JISIWEI, a little-known company in Russia, produces the only model of the robot vacuum cleaner in four versions: S + Silver, S + blue, S + red, S +. They differ in color design.
The latest version of S + (or, to be more precise, S + Gold) will be described in detail.
The cardboard box, a little less than five kilograms in weight, contains a robot vacuum cleaner and accessories:
Among the latter, two additional brushes, microfiber lining (with and without plastic base), a spare coarse filter and a brush with a scraper.
If desired, the robot can be controlled in the old manner, through the IR remote control.
S + is a circular disc with a height of 85 mm and a diameter of 350 mm. Only two brushes protrude beyond the hull, driving trash from the corners to the dust collection hole.
The highest part of the S + is a protrusion with a camera, sensors and an indicator: There are
only three brushes - two in the nose and one perpendicular closer to the tail: There are
also three wheels: two leading and one auxiliary, freely rotating around a vertical axis.
The height sensors are located only in the front and side parts, the back is fully occupied by the dust collection part.
It is a mechanical brush and a soft plastic scraper.
All debris accumulates in an easily removable container with an integrated pre-filter.
To fill the built-in S + battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh with electricity, it is possible to double the connection of the charger: through the docking station or directly into the slot on the case.
Two spring-loaded pin contacts at the station are in contact with metal plates on the bottom of the robot; calls in to refuel the S + independently, focusing on the signals of the beacon installed at the top of the docking station.
To use the power adapter is used.
It takes about 3.5 hours to fill the battery with electricity.
The main control is a screen with touch buttons in the center of the case.
In the absence of other S + control methods, these three sensor buttons are enough to control the basic functions of a vacuum cleaner. But the motto of this model is “Not Just A Robot”, which hints at an expanded range of possibilities. Those become available after installation on a smartphone running Android or iOS applications JISIWEI Robot.
Since the interface is adapted for smartphones with a smaller screen size, on the tablet used, the title bar looks empty.
After registering on the site and initializing through a QR code on the robot, it appears in the list of devices available for connection.
Connection with S + is established via a Wi-Fi channel, for which it is necessary to transfer the connection parameters (network name, password) via the application. The process looks original: the program first requests the username and password from the user, and then whistles their robot through the dynamics of the smartphone. Once the connection is established, the corresponding icon on the vacuum cleaner lights up.
A successful connection with S + allows you to control the operation mode of the vacuum cleaner and look at the world through its eyes.
It was not possible to achieve better quality over remote connection. Photos made by the corresponding button in the application and saved on the smartphone look a little better.
The main disadvantage of the camera is a high demand for light and difficulties in displaying pictures in motion.
However, you can control the position of the vacuum cleaner and control its movements with a virtual joystick without any problems.
A variety of connection and operation mode settings are set through the menu
. Unlike the standard test zones for vacuum cleaning robots, so often used in reviews, JISIWEI S + was tested on two apartments. The first is used little, constantly contained in the frequency and differs extremely low clutter (things on the floor, wires, often moved furniture). The second belongs to the leading active lifestyle family with three children of different ages and cats. As a result, the abundance of foreign objects on the floor and the constant formation of small debris.
Several test cleanups showed that medium and large debris (designer’s spilled screws, pieces of packing foam, napkins, etc.) S + collects well, though not quickly. The situation with the fine dust and hair of animals is more complicated, since the frontal (auxiliary) brushes are not capable of picking them up well. Long garbage (hair, thread) is often wound.
The main brush remains practically clean (photo after two full containers and 4 hours of work).
Cleaning the container and brushes does not take a lot of time, since all the nodes involved in cleaning can be easily disassembled without the help of tools, and the complete brush-scraper helps in getting rid of debris stuck in the cracks.
Permeability is average. He handles the stools, tables, chairs and other furnishings perfectly: either he can move it, or he can be cleaned from all sides. But if the obstacle is 10–15 mm high (the threshold, the tubular leg is captured above in the photo of clothesline drying), then there is a high probability of jamming (the sensors determining the obstacle are much higher). Also loosely scattered loops of wires will be taken away around the room. On his own base calls in without errors and on the first attempt, if it is installed against the wall.
There are several modes of operation: zigzag movements, spiral, "Brownian movement"; possible turbo mode, which increases the speed of rotation of the main brush. With an abundance of litter, it reduces the cleaning time of particularly polluted areas, but the operating time from a fully charged battery drops from 100 minutes (normal mode) to 60. The noise level is much lower than that of a regular household vacuum cleaner, and it fits into the declared 50 dB.
For a visual demonstration of the work process a few short videos.
Complete microfiber linings are designed for wet cleaning, but the real benefits from them are possible only in small rooms (up to 10 square meters): once wetted microfiber dries quickly and collects a significant amount of dust, after which it needs to be washed again.
The overall impression of JICIWEI S + is positive. I’ll say right away that you shouldn’t take vacuum cleaning robots (regardless of manufacturer and model) as a full replacement for traditional manual cleaning methods. This is a good solution for maintaining cleanliness in the apartment, especially if there is not enough time for a full cleaning during the working week. Perhaps remote control, but before that it is advisable to make sure that there are no “difficult zones” by driving S + around the apartment several times and watching the work.
