The modern model of the manufacturer Clever Panda - iPlus S5 - belongs to the versatile robots used as a vacuum cleaner and capable of wet cleaning. A feature of this modification is the presence of a removable unit that purifies and ionizes the air, as well as an ultraviolet lamp for cleaning surfaces from bacteria. It features reliable assembly, smartphone control, and high power.
Appearance
iPlus S5, like many other devices, has a round shape. Dimensions 30x30 cm. The height of the device is small (7 cm), which allows it to easily drive under furniture that is not very low. It features a modern laconic design that does not contradict any type of interior. Made of black plastic. Its weight is 4 kg.
On the top of the "tablet" there are touch buttons for setting the operating parameters and a display that shows the current mode. There are ventilation openings on the side of the device along the entire circumference. There are also sensors, night vision devices and elements that provide backlighting.
The robot is equipped with a soft bumper, which is also located on the side surface. It performs a protective function in collisions. Waste container can be removed from the side. Instead, you can install a container with water for wet cleaning of surfaces.
On the bottom of the vacuum cleaner are all the elements that ensure the movement and operation of the device:
- two main wheels and one guide (in front) for turning and maneuvering;
- on / off button;
- side brushes for directing dust into the dust container;
- turbo brush for cleaning carpets and pulling dust into the container;
- fasteners for napkins (for wet cleaning);
- ultraviolet lamp;
- battery compartment;
- contacts for installation on the base.
Specifications
The iPlus S5 robot has the following characteristics:
- area for work: 160-180 sq.m;
- dust collector type: cyclone filter;
- garbage container size: 0.6 l;
- water tank: 0.28 l;
- power: 1600 Pa;
- height of obstacles for passing: 2.5 cm;
- noise level: 55 dB;
- control: remote control, smartphone application;
- the presence of a virtual wall;
- there is an ultraviolet lamp;
- anti-confusion navigation technology;
- the ability to program modes by day of the week;
- base installation: automatic.
The vacuum cleaner has a capacious battery (3450 mAh) of the Li-Pol type. On it, he is able to function for about 120-150 minutes, depending on the operating mode. It takes about 210 minutes to fully charge.
Functionality
The iPlus S5 robot has a brushless inverter compressor. The engine capacity is 12,000 rpm, which provides a high suction force. It possesses a new generation processor that carries out navigation and control functions. The device is well oriented thanks to the echolocation system. According to some experts, it is more effective in preventing shocks and falls than infrared sensors.
The work of the vacuum cleaner is carried out by directing dust and debris with side brushes to the turbo brush, through which they enter the dust collector.The aluminum bristle turbo brush is spiral-shaped to prevent tangling of hair, wires, etc. The side brushes are elongated in comparison to earlier counterparts and prevent wool from wrapping around them. The dust collector has three stages of filtration, allowing to retain dust particles up to 0.03 microns:
- air filter;
- carbonic;
- HEPA.
The vacuum cleaner can move along several paths: in a spiral, a snake, along walls, between furniture and along a polygonal structure. It has several programs of work:
- Auto. Removal takes place along a certain route with entry into all hard-to-reach places.
- Local. Cleans the most polluted areas with increased suction power.
- Along the walls. The robot walks along the perimeter of the room, along the baseboards, entering the corners, avoiding obstacles.
Also iPlus S5 has a switch-on delay function. Using the programmer, you can set it to turn on automatically at a specific time on a specific day. You can control movements and modes with a remote control or from a smartphone (via Wi-Fi).
When replacing the dust collector with a container with water, the robot performs wet cleaning on any type of surface (tiles, laminate, linoleum). To do this, you must attach a napkin to the bottom. Its width is 28 cm, which allows you to cover almost the entire space under the vacuum cleaner. Water is supplied to it automatically, and excess moisture is removed in the same way. Thanks to these possibilities, the floor is wiped evenly. It stays dry and does not leave streaks on the surface.
The device is equipped with a removable module that purifies the air. It is equipped with a HEPA-14 filter, which ensures high-quality disposal of air from contamination and its ionization. When passing through the filter, fine dust particles do not fall back into the room. Another functionality of the robot is the removal of germs from the floor using an ultraviolet lamp, which is located at the bottom.

Advantages and disadvantages
Summing up the above, you can identify a large number of advantages of the iPlus S5 robot vacuum cleaner:
- nice design;
- compact size;
- high suction power;
- capacious battery providing long autonomous functioning;
- good recognition of furniture and other interior elements;
- three-stage filter, large dust collector;
- several types of work programs;
- the ability to set a daily work schedule;
- the presence of a module for cleaning and ionizing air;
- obfuscation elimination;
- elimination of bacteria (UV lamp);
- high-quality wet wiping of surfaces (automatic water supply to the rag);
- hair and wool do not wrap on the turbo brush and side brushes;
- several ways of adjustment and control: buttons on the body, remote control, application on a smartphone.
Considering the disadvantages of the device, it is worth mentioning the main ones, which are confirmed by user reviews:
- does not always find a station at the end of work;
- the black surface of the floor may not be recognized (does not drive on it);
- may not walk through dirty areas or stop for no apparent reason.
