360 S7: misophobic grunt

The device comes with a charging base with a power supply, a wet cleaning module with a napkin and a user manual.

The design of the 360 ​​S7 resembles the world's best analogues, as it used to be said in its time. A round body in the form of a large washer with a diameter of 35 cm, on top of the “commander’s cupola” of the lidar (LIDAR, Light Detection and Ranging), on the bottom there are three wheels, the main brush and auxiliary antennae, with which the robot gets dust from the corners of the room. There are no spare filters and brushes, as well as a remote control. Although it is not needed, since the 360 ​​S7 is controlled via a smartphone, and is also certified to work with the voice assistant Alice.

I know from experience that with robotic vacuum cleaners it is important to pay attention not only to the quality of cleaning, but also to how easy it is to clean the device itself.

The capacity of the dust collector here is 500 ml, the HEPA filter is responsible for filtration without an additional mesh. The container opens conveniently, and most importantly, it can be washed under running water. But remember that before reinstalling, be sure to completely dry the container and filter. However, the filter does not need to be washed every time, it is enough to knock it on the sink several times.

The main brush is easy to remove, and a special tool is located under the cover for cleaning it. The only point: the brush rollers are not removable and it will not be so easy to remove the wound hair - this is where the brush cleaning tool comes in handy. A screwdriver is required to remove the side "antennae", but in experience this is rarely required.

The first thing to do to get started is to charge the robot. And here you should pay attention to the original base station - it does not have a classic stand, which the vacuum cleaner calls into.

The contacts are located on the vertical surface of the base station, so that it takes up less space in the house, and the contacts are not clogged with dust.

In addition, the moment with the fastening of the power supply cable is well thought out - its excess is hidden inside the base. For wet cleaning, it is required to pour water with washing liquid into the module container, put on a napkin and fix it on the vacuum cleaner.

The 360 ​​S7 uses a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network to connect, the app will friendly tell you what steps are needed to start controlling the robot. First of all, you need to run the robot to drive through all the rooms of the house so that the vacuum cleaner makes a general map. After that, you can delimit the room into rooms and name them, as well as set restricted areas where the 360 ​​S7 should not enter, and define areas where only dry cleaning is performed.

I note that the suction power of the 360 ​​S7 is very high and amounts to 2200 Pa, but one of three power levels can be set in the application. At the same time, when the robot determines that it has climbed onto the carpet, it automatically activates the maximum power. By the way, the 360 ​​S7 is good in terms of overcoming obstacles - the device overcame thresholds 1.7 cm high without any problems. 360 S7 can build up to 10 maps, which is useful when you take a vacuum cleaner, say, to the country house, and there is a house with several floors.

But why "grouchy"? The fact is that by selecting a male Russian voice in the settings menu, the vacuum cleaner will amusingly voice each action. For example, “I’ll do as you want, just leave me alone”, “Where is the nearest bar? We need to refresh ourselves!" or "I'm starting cleaning on a schedule, but don't think I like it."

According to the test results, the 360 ​​S7 proved to be excellent - the model builds a map almost perfectly - the vacuum cleaner can detect virtual objects only in the mirror. The quality of cleaning and ease of maintenance is also on top. An excellent model turned out, also with a funny option for voicing commands. In addition, the 360 ​​S7 is not so expensive, given all its capabilities. Definitely recommend to look at the model.
