Design

iRobot Roomba 890_2

The robot has a classic round design in a pleasant chocolate black color. On the upper part there is a control panel with mechanical buttons and indication of the status of the robot at the moment. Also on the top is a retractable plastic handle, which is necessary for carrying the device. An infrared sensor is located on the front of the robot, it protrudes slightly above the entire body. On the opposite side there is a button for extending the waste container.

On the side of the vacuum cleaner there is a soft bumper, a start and stop button, contacts for connecting to a charging station. At the bottom there are two large driving wheels and a steering wheel for maneuvering. One side brush and sensors for orientation in space are also attached here. In the center there is a hole for air intake, to which you can install a turbo brush, which consists of two scraper rollers. The turbo brush is attached to special clips.

Functionality of the model

The vacuum cleaner can work in automatic mode or in local mode. It moves according to the following schemes:

  1. Chaotic.
  2. Along the perimeter.
  3. Zigzag.
  4. Bypassing obstacles.
  5. Spiral.

The model is distinguished from other representatives of the line and competitors by a special cleaning system, which consists of a special design turbo brush - two rubber rollers, supplemented by scrapers. The rollers rotate towards each other in different directions, which helps to remove even dried dirt from the floor and collect even small pieces of debris, sand, dust, fine wool and hair. Long threads and hair do not wrap around rubber brushes. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a high-purity filtration that retains 99% of allergens - pollen, plant spores and fine dust - AeroForce.

The second factor that makes Roomba 890 cleaning more efficient is its increased suction power. The air flow passes between the dust collector and the vacuum channel, completely isolated from outside air. This tightness allows you to create a powerful suction flow with the same motor power as competitors.

For orientation in space, the vacuum cleaner uses an advanced navigation system composed of a large number of sensors.The robot estimates the space and creates the best route for efficient cleaning under interior items, along walls and in corners. A special sensor detects areas with the greatest contamination and cleans them especially thoroughly.

A soft bumper and a set of sensors around the circumference protect the vacuum cleaner, walls and furniture from shock and damage. The set with the device includes a virtual wall, for this iRobot it works like a beacon that covers an area up to 3 meters and makes it inaccessible for a vacuum cleaner. There is a "halo" mode that limits the area to 1.5 meters. An application on a mobile phone is used to control the vacuum cleaner.
