Rowenta Smart Force Essential Aqua, we analyze this robot vacuum cleaner that scrubs

En Actualidad Gadget We always have on hand a good list of smart products that will make your life easier, it has happened here quite a few robot vacuum cleaners, some of them even scrub, so Rowenta He has seen fit to send us a new product so that we can discover the results it can offer us.

We have in our hands the model Smart Force Essential Aqua by Rowenta, an intelligent and quite complete cleaning robot to get started in this type of product. So, stay with us because we have a lot to talk about this new product that you should know, we tell you the analysis, the price and all its most relevant characteristics.

As always, we are going to make a route through all its functionalities as well as the importance of the device at the construction level. Definitely, we will also go through the issue of prices, but if you want to go taking a look, you can go through this link and buy it directly on Amazon,meanwhile, it is already on sale at authorized points of sale such as Worten, MediaMarkt and El Corte Inglés.

Design and materials: Continuous, without risking

This product is sovereignly similar to the construction level of the SPC model that we analyzed a while ago, but no more than what all these products generally resemble each other, and this type of design has proven to be the most efficient and common in these products, it is one of the few occasions in which we cannot put a single but to the firm for not innovating at the design level. It should be noted as a plus that we find a glossy plastic upper part, but silver in color, which allows us not to have to clean it continuously due to the dust that for logical reasons attracts a device with aspiration of these characteristics.

• Sizes: 32 x 13,3 x 41,8 cm

We have round dimensions of 32,5 cm in total, by 8 cm high. It has a series of sensors, usually made entirely of plastic. For the lower part we have the central sweeping brush, the cushioned wheels so as not to get stuck in small heights or carpets, and a good range of sensors that prevent falls, as well as the infrared sensors on the sides to avoid a good handful of blows , although not all of them, since there are the crash sensors. It is well cushioned with foam, so we are not going to cause any damage to our furniture, in addition to detecting their proximity, it drastically reduces the rolling speed.

Cleaning, suction and noise functions

We find a robot that has three cleaning modes: The classic random mode that it will make the robot go around the room, generally it does not go through the same place twice, but it can do it in certain circumstances, it will clean until it has 15% of battery left that its base will seek; Small room mode, that it will perform a cleaning identical to the previous one from a central point, but it will not return to the charging base when it has 15% battery left, but will do so after approximately 30 minutes of cleaning; Edge mode, In other words, it will take a reference point along an edge and will pass the brushes to try to remove the dirt embedded in isolated parts such as the skirting boards or the corners.

This robot has a single standardized power level and a methodical cleaning system, so we lack mapping or any equipment for cleaning optimization. Nevertheless, Through the control we can both plan a manual cleaning system, managing the robot movements ourselves, as a weekly system through its hourly configuration. The remote does not show the autonomy of the robot, but it will tell us when it has 15% battery life or less by means of a battery logo, something traditional.

• Dirt tank: 0,25 liters
• Water tank with wet mop
• Noise: 65 db

We have a little water tank which will allow us to carry out a dust removal by means of a wet mop, in this deposit, which is extrapolated and is very easy to place, We can only add water, although we can also accompany it with some cleaning liquid, although we must remember that in general it is not thick, as it makes it difficult to soak it. This tank with the included mop is capable of scrubbing just after sweeping and at the same time, but we must remember that rather it removes dust, dirt will clog the mop and it will not be able to remove important stains. For its part, the robot emits 65 db noise while performing vacuum functions, it is not too much, nor too quiet, it is in the line of most of this type of product.

Autonomy and operating sensors

As we have said, the device has three fall arrest sensors that work perfectly, in the same way it has two side brushes that are responsible for directing the dirt to the central point, where we find another long bristle brush that relies on the suction power. This is good because it makes the robot versatile on all types of surfaces, without damaging them.. Unfortunately the negative point of these brushes is that they tend to get stuck with pet hair, but it brings its own cleaning tool for all the cracks of the product.

We have a lithium battery that offers us 150 minutes of cleaning with a total charge of six hours maximum. In our tests we have obtained approximately 120 minutes of cleaning with around four hours of charge. We do not have official suction power data, but we do have a charging base, where the robot vacuum cleaner will go automatically if we order it with the control knob, or when it has 15% battery left.

Editor's opinion and user experience

Worst

 

The worst we found on the device is the fact that it does not have an intelligent cleaning system that allows us to optimize the battery to the maximum. On the other hand, it sometimes finds it very difficult to locate the charging base if it is more than five or six meters from it. On the other hand we miss a little more suction power.

Best

What I liked the most It is the versatility of being able to combine the sweeping and scrubbing system at the same time, as well as the central brush that allows us to make it compatible with a huge number of surfaces in an efficient way. In the same way we have good autonomy and good construction in general.

It is a great entry-level device that Rowenta puts at our disposal for around 179 euros at this Amazo linkn, a good price taking into account the characteristics and above all the reliability that Rowenta offers in terms of guarantees and compatibility.
