Now, let’s have a more detailed look at this smart robot vacuum cleaner and check out everything that it is packing under its hood and talk a little bit about its functionality.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the robot vacuum’s size, the S8 comes at a very compact size, measuring just 13.4 inches in diameter by just 3.7 inches tall, and the robot is also quite lightweight, weighing at just a measly 8 lbs. (3.6 kg). Thanks to its ultra-slim design, the S8 can effectively clean each corner around your rooms, including under different furniture pieces like couches, countertops, etc.
In addition, the Robot Vacuum Cleaner S8 also features a very minimalist an ultra-modern design, coming with a simple white body that’s combined with a glossy finish. The S8 also features a very sturdy construction, as its outer shell is made of a mix of high-quality ABS Plastic, as well as PP (Polypropylene) and PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate acrylic).
Moving on to the S8’s different components. For its automated movement, this smart robot vacuum comes equipped with a Universal Wheel (at the front) that’s combined with a set of ultra-durable side wheels.
These three wheels ultimately make the S8 capable of easily crossing over just about any obstacles in its path that measure up to 8 inches (20 mm) tall, no matter if its a doorsill, rails, or carpets.
Moreover, and still at the bottom-side of the robot, we also have a Floating Frame, and an integrated right at the middle of the unit, we also have a Spiral Brush Roll (which is the robot’s main brush) that’s responsible for picking up dust, dirt, debris, and pet hair.
Other than the robot’s main brush, there’s also a Side Brush, which rotates horizontally to effectively sweep any type of debris towards the center of the vacuum. Note that the robot’s Side Brush specifically helps to expand the robot’s maximum cleaning area on solid surfaces, meaning just straight flooring, while for vacuuming carpets, the robot specifically relies on its Spiral Brush Roll.
Integrated at the edges of the robot’s bottom surface, we also have a set of three (x3) Anti-Drop Sensors that evenly distributed (one at the front and one at each side). These are used to scanned floor edges in order to ultimately prevent the S8 from falling downstairs. There’s also the an Anti-collision Bumper that prevents the robot from crashing into any potential obstacles in its pathway.
For powering all of the robot’s functionalities (wheel-movement, suction for vacuuming and water-tank usage), the S8 relies on a built-in Brushless Motor that works at a Rated Power of 30W.
As said before, this smart robot vacuum cleaner also boasts a maximum suction power of 2700Pa, and the robot can be calibrated between 4 different Adjustable Suction Levels, which are 600 Pa, 1000 Pa, 1500 Pa, or lastly, 2700Pa.
When set to work at its lowest Suction Setting, the robot will operate at a very quiet noise-level of just slightly under 59 dB, which is great during situations that would require that, such as when someone’s reading a book, working, or studying while staying close to the robot during its automated cleaning routine.
Alternatively, when set to work at its highest Suction Setting, the S8 is perfectly capable of effectively getting rid of dust, dirt, debris and even pet hair from any sort of surface, whether that’s wooden flooring or even carpets.
Speaking of which, specifically for carpets, the robot also features an Auto Boost functionality that allows it to detect whenever it moves away from normal floors and enters a carpeted surface, for which whenever that happens, the robot will the automatically adjust its suction power if necessary from a lower Suction Level to its highest Suction Settings (2700 Pa).
Now, since the S8 is designed to work as a 2-in-1 smart robot vacuum and mop, it obviously features both vacuuming and mopping functionalities. That said, for its vacuuming functionality, this 2-in-1 Vacuum and Mopping Smart Robot comes equipped with a 360 ml (0.09gal) Removable Dust Bin.
Furthermore, there’s also an Attachable Washable Filter, which can be detached from the main unit for an easier maintenance of both the robot itself as well as of its dedicated dust-collection filter.
Then, for its mopping functionality, the robot also comes equipped with a 320 ml (0.08gal) 3-Level Electric Water Tank at its back-side that sprays exactly the right amount of water when it is required to have it mopping, such as when spilling any sort of liquids that could potentially make the floor become sticky.
Moreover, for its mopping capabilities, we also have an included Anti-Bacteria Mop Pad and Mop Bracket Attachment that are required to be integrated onto the robot’s body before having it mopping any sort of flooring / surface.
Last but not least, this smart robot vacuum cleaner also comes equipped with Anti-Collision Sensors at the front-side of its body that allow it to intelligently detect and avoid obstacles.
Best of all, located at the top-side of the unit, the S8 also integrates a high-end LIDAR SLAM Navigation System that allows the robot to accurately map each and every room in your home to plan the most optimal cleaning pathway, which is done in real time.
By combining its set of Anti-Collision Sensors and its LIDAR SLAM Navigation System, the S8 is capable of keeping your home thoroughly clean, even in more complex furniture arrangements.
CONNECTIVITY
For connecting itself with its Smartphone Companion App in order to allow users to configure the robot’s different smart functionalities, the S8 features Wi-Fi Connectivity.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Now, when it comes to its internal battery, the S8 comes equipped with a 3,200 mAh Lithium-Ion battery (4pcs) that can offer the robot up to 2 hours (120 minutes) of runtime on a single charge, which is just enough to clean rooms of up to 968 – 1076 ft² (90-100 m²).
To be a little more specific, know that when having this smart robot vacuum set to work on its Standard Settings, the S8 will be able to offer you up to 1.5 hours (90 minutes) of battery life. Alternatively, when set to work on its Quiet Settings (meaning at its weakest suction power), the S8 can then offer you its maximum runtime of 2 hours (120 minutes).
Moreover, whenever the robot detects that its internal battery is running low on power, the S8 will automatically return to its dedicated Charging Dock to have its battery recharged. So, even if that happens during one of its pre-scheduled cleaning routines, the robot will first have its battery recharged. Then, as soon as that’s done, it will then automatically return back to its cleaning duties and start exactly from where it left of.
Note that the charging time for the S8’s internal battery takes approximately 3.5 hours.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The 360Robot App
Finally, for controlling all of the smart functionalities offered by this smart robot vacuum cleaner, users can recur to the robot’s Smartphone Companion App, called the 360Robot App, which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices.
Via the 360Robot App, users are provided with a Multi-Floor Map Management that allows them to save up to 5 maps, for which they can then further fine-tune the robot’s smart-pathing abilities.
For that, users can even set up virtual line boundaries or no-go zones to keep some areas of your house completely undisturbed, such as setting an off-limit mop zone that’s used to ensure that your S8 avoids carpets and other similar areas when mopping.
OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES
Voice Assistant Support
It’s also worth to note that, for Smart Home fans, the 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S8 also features Voice Assistant Support for both Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant, which ultimately allows you to control the device via simple Voice Commands.
