We analyze the cheapest robot vacuum cleaner for your home, Homgeek

Robot vacuum cleaners popularized by brands like Roomba They have become very popular, so much so that a powerful market for similar devices has emerged at much lower prices. The reality is that when technology is put at the service of saving us time and work, we cannot deny that we love it, and since you like to be able to get the most out of gadgets while saving money, we bring you the best reviews.

We leave you with no excuses to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, We bring you the Homgeek alternative, the cheapest robot vacuum cleaner on the market. Stay and know our experience to know if it is really worth investing in this type of gadgets or not, we go there with the review.

As always, we are going to take a tour of all the relevant aspects of the product, from the way it works to design and autonomy, this Homgeek robot vacuum cleaner is positioned as a substitute for the big brands, offering practically the same at a significantly lower price but ... is it really worth it? Our intention today is to get you out of your doubts in this situation, so let's not waste any more time and go there with the analysis of this peculiar product.

Robot vacuum cleaner design and materials

The design is what you would expect from this type of product, a completely round robot that will allow you not to get caught between our furniture too easily, while making it a little more agile. It is built in plastic ABS, no materials like polycarbonateOr, that is why we remind you that to strong shocks it can be extremely sensitive, since ABS plastic, unlike polycarbonate, tends to break under pressure. However, it is more than enough for such a product in our experience. It has a diameter of 285 millimeters, as well as a height of 75 millimeters with a total weight of 1,7 kg.

The base and sides are finished in white, while the upper part has been endowed with a semi-translucent glossy plastic in turquoise green, which gives it a very attractive touch. On the front we find the shock sensor, a mechanical pressure system that will determine, thanks to its significant size, where the object to avoid is. At the same time at the top we will find the tank cap and filter, easy to access. Also in the upper part we have the automatic cleaning button in case we want to avoid the use of the remote control.

Technical characteristics

Let's go to the important thing, how much this product is capable of cleaning. ANDAt the bottom we are going to find the only two brooms that it includes, pushing the dirt to the center of the device, where the rubber and the suction tank are located. It has to move with a guide wheel in the front and two more traction on the sides.

The most important (or almost) in this type of product is the suction power, in this case Homgeek assures us 1000p, although we are going to doubt it, since it is a power that is only present in the most powerful on the market. To be honest, I have not found dirt that resists it, but 1000p seems excessive. We have to say that it does not include more brushes than the two sides, not even next to the suction slot.

It also has a 2,4 GHz RF remote that will allow us to adjust the operation of the robot, as well as the timer, the power and even handle it manually. If you don't have an RC car, it can be an interesting alternative.

Autonomy and programming

The Chinese firm communicates a 2.200 mAh battery at 14.8V, which will guarantee us an effective working time of between 90 and 120 minutes, rather 90 in our experience. A full charge takes about three hours. You will be able to know the status of the battery thanks to its upper LEDs, and unfortunately it does not include autonomous charging, that is, we will have to connect it to the network ourselves through the adapter included in the box. It is not too cumbersome and is one of the reasons why the product is one of the cheapest on the market.

We have different modes of use that are programmed from the remote. We can choose between cleaning intervals of up to 30 minutes, while it also has an automatic system (until the battery runs out) and another system by which we will be able to control the robot vacuum cleaner at our pleasure. Personally I am a regular user of the automatic cleaning system, in my experience it is capable of cleaning small rooms (rooms) in approximately twenty minutes.

User experience and editor's opinion

The robot lacks certain features such as the fall detector, that is, if you have cleaning at various heights it is important that you put up barriers that block the fall of the robot. For the rest we are facing a robot that does not exceed 50 dB of noise, it is not too bothersome for regular cleaning. In the same way it has its limitations, I have found serious difficulties so that in automatic mode it can clean the corners well.

Of course for a standard and daily sweep of the home is more than enoughThe fact of having a double brush is quite interesting, although perhaps a central brush is missing. Also the tank and the filter is large enough. But we must bear in mind that it is designed to sweep away the most common dust and dirt, as soon as it finds elements of a considerable size (such as cereals) it will have problems sucking them.

The element detection system is by shock, it does not have proximity sensorsHowever, taking into account its speed and the system, the truth is that I have not disliked the power or the noise of the small blows that may occur. In the same way, it is not recommended for rooms excessively loaded with furniture or obstacles, where it will be ineffective and slow, leaving behind areas that may require a sweep.

The content of the package is:

• Robot
• Power adapter
• Remote control
• Two filters
• Six replacement brushes

It is true that it is an alternative at a very interesting price, You can find it on sale for $ 75 as was my case in TomTop, or get it at its usual $ 99 price. As an initiation to this type of product it seems interesting, more than enough for terraces, living rooms and even garages. If you are looking for something more specific that achieves something more concrete than a simple sweep, it might not be your product. The score I give the product is closely related to the fact that it costs around € 75, far from the price offered by similar products. You can see it in this LINK
