If someone asks me why I like Xiaomi’s vacuum cleaners, for example, its sub-brand RoboRock’s latest flagship machine sweeping robot: T6. then I mention the laser first. The fact that vacuum cleaners use a 360 degree laser rangefinder to map the apartment in real time to produce drastic differences between “silly” robots and lasers, which is difficult to describe in words. I’ve tried it, but I never felt that I managed to get the right dramatic effect. So everyone should see this!
Vacuum cleaners with laser control are expensive and your Blitzwolf is no exception. That’s why it was worth prerecording that its marketing is just starting, so it is quite good for Xiaomi vacuum cleaners to get substantially the same capabilities as RoboRock.
The device comes with the circular design that is usual in the robot vacuum cleaner of the firm, so it is highly recognizable (its dimensions are 346*346*97mm). Available in black, one of the most important improvements coming in the new BlitzWolf® BW-VC1 is that the creation of maps of the whole house has been optimized (the software reaches version 3.0 for this). This allows to personalize in a much more concrete way what the device does and, at the same time, it makes it possible to create working routes with the application that you have in your phones and tablets.
The most important is laser control. It crawls the room in real time, but unlike many competitors, it doesn’t use a camera, so our private sphere is not compromised. What’s more, it comes with a huge 5200 mAh battery that can clean up for up to 3 hours, according to the manufacturer, up to 280 square meters of space. The long cleaning time would not be without the proper suction power. Of course, there will be no problem here, as the 2200 Pa will also absorb dirt and dust from the bottom of the carpet.
One of them is that the change of the fan and the air ejection system. This makes it possible for the noise made by this accessory for the home to be reduced by up to 50% with respect to the previous generation, a good detail so that no one is bothered when BW-VC1 is in operation. In addition, both the brush – much more ergonomic – and the wheels have been improved, and the latter is important because now the robot vacuum cleaner more easily overcomes the obstacles it encounters (such as carpets).
Of course, the BlitzWolf® BW-VC1 also comes with extras such as control over the telephone application, the virtual wall, the various cleaning methods, the zone cleaning, where you can select or disable different parts of the apartment. So there is everything here, as in the more expensive models, but the price is better.
Finally, it should be noted that this product is compatible with the BlitzWolf Clean APP, so it is possible to manage everything from iOS and Android terminals. Voice control options are also offered, and we will see if Alexa and the Google assistant will be supported in the future.
