With the robotic cleaner RG7145RH from TM Tefal, daily cleaning will cease to be a routine but obligatory activity. The “smart” robot vacuum cleaner will do everything for you, you just have to touch up the final touches, as well as do a lot of cleaning from time to time. Let's find out in more detail what this small but very efficient housekeeper can do and how it functions.
Specifications
The robot is designed for dry cleaning of all types of surfaces: linoleum and laminate, wooden floors and ceramic tiles, as well as carpets with a small pile - up to 15mm. The battery capacity is enough for 100 minutes of continuous operation - this is enough to thoroughly clean 2-3 medium-sized rooms. The battery is fully charged in 270 minutes. The device has a bagless dust collection system, the volume of the dust collector is 250 ml. The vacuum cleaner has more than compact dimensions: the body diameter is 320mm and its height is only 75mm. The device weighs only 4kg and produces very little noise during operation - up to 70dB.
Additionally, we note that the motor is equipped with an additional protective filter that prevents debris from entering. Given the small volume of the waste container, it will have to be cleaned almost after every cleaning, but this is done very easily.
Appearance
Tefal RG7145RH is made in a classic round shape made of durable black plastic. It looks presentable and laconic, easily fits into the interior of any style, we take up a minimum of space in the room. On the upper side of the device there are touch control buttons, a cover for the dust collection compartment and a button to open it. There are also indicators reflecting the current state of the device. The end part is traditionally equipped with a protective bumper that protects against collisions with furniture, as well as ventilation holes.
On the bottom there are 2 driving wheels on the sides, 1 swivel in front, a turbo brush in the center, 2 side brushes, as well as a battery compartment and charging contacts. In the same part of the cleaner there is an on / off button for the device.
Functionality
It's time to tell you what the RG7145RH is capable of. This cleaner easily copes with cleaning hard-to-reach areas, thoroughly sweeping fine dust, large debris, hair. In addition, the vacuum cleaner will also effectively clean a carpet with a small nap. All this is due to the presence of a turbo brush.
The device is equipped with a whole security system: the manufacturer has provided for the presence of a protective bumper (to neutralize collisions with large objects of the situation), height difference sensors (to protect the device from falls), as well as several infrared sensors that allow the vacuum cleaner to "find" obstacles and effectively maneuver, avoiding collisions. Another plus of the vacuum cleaner is its ability to self-diagnose: the system automatically detects overheating and turns off the device. And the presence of a built-in timer will allow you to set up cleaning on a schedule, choosing the optimal hours and days.
The kit includes a remote control - you can set the desired mode both directly from the device body and remotely from the remote control.There is also a virtual wall that will limit the cleaning area.
The robot vacuum cleaner can work in 4 functional modes:
- movement along a zigzag trajectory,
- automatic mode - the device moves along an arbitrary trajectory,
- cleaning "along the walls"
- local cleaning - the vacuum cleaner moves in an expanding spiral, cleaning a small area with heavy dirt.
The RG7145RH has a pre-programming function for cleaning: you select the days and hours for when no one and nothing will interfere with the vacuum cleaner. The only condition is that this model does not have the ability to choose different times: your vacuum cleaner will activate on set days, but at the same time of day.

Advantages and disadvantages
Summing up the review of the device, we can highlight a number of advantages of the model:
- stylish, discreet design,
- functionality - the ability to customize cleaning on a schedule,
- compact,
- the presence of several operating modes for different tasks,
- high build quality of the case,
- the ability to clean carpets,
- decent equipment,
- impressive debris suction power.
Along with its undeniable strengths, the RG7145RH has several disadvantages:
- comparatively high noise level,
- dust collector of more than modest size,
- it is not possible to control the cleaner from a smartphone,
- it is not possible to set different cleaning times on different days of the week,
- navigation is carried out exclusively via sensors.
All the indicated disadvantages of the model are taken into account only for one reason - the rather high cost of the device. The price of such a vacuum cleaner is at the level of similar premium devices and is about 23-24 thousand rubles, but the device is devoid of the latest technological capabilities. For this reason alone, this model is sometimes called not the best in terms of price / quality ratio. But, choosing the RG7145RH, you probably know that you are purchasing a reliable device from a renowned manufacturer, which will certainly serve you faithfully for a long time.
