Specifications

Configuration

The packing box is bright, with important information on all sides. The weight of the whole set, taking into account the packaging, is 5.28 kg, while the robot vacuum cleaner itself weighs 3 kg.

The robot vacuum cleaner is 31 cm in diameter, and its height is only 7.6 cm, which makes it easy to move under the beds, sofas and wardrobes while cleaning.

The axles of the driving wheels are located on the same diameter of the circumference of the housing, this allows the robot vacuum cleaner to make a turn in place without changing the boundaries of the area occupied by it.

Driving wheels with a diameter of 65 mm are made in the form of rubber tires with pronounced hooks, with the help of which he overcomes obstacles in the form of a high pile of carpet, skirting boards, sills and other elevations. The wheels are mounted on spring-loaded joints with a 27 mm stroke, which helps the robot overcome obstacles. True, the lower part of the bumper is located at a height of 17 mm from the floor - the obstacles above the robot can not be overcome.

The front of the vacuum cleaner is buffered, it allows you to soften the blow of the robot on the obstacle. A spring-loaded bumper with a small stroke around the front half of the case, a strip of medium hard rubber is glued at the bottom of the bumper, which protects the unit and furniture from damage in a collision.

Exploitation

Offline work

After the first full charge, PVCR 0826 worked for about 180 minutes, continuously “traveling” on carpet with an abundance of cat hair. In other conditions, its battery life can reach 3.5 hours. This circumstance, along with the quality of cleaning, allowed the model to take 4th place in the rating of robotic vacuum cleaners for the house in 2017.

Upon completion of cleaning or in case of battery discharge, the robot vacuum cleaner automatically returns to the base station, where it spends up to 5 hours, until fully charged.

Safety system

The Polaris PVCR 0826 EVO robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a security system:

• Step sensor

Thanks to this feature, your assistant will not fall down the stairs and will not break. Practice has shown that this function works fine - the robot vacuum cleaner did not fall from the table on which we placed it for the experiment. True, in some reviews of this model, we read that he refuses to work on black carpets. Unfortunately, we cannot yet confirm or refute this fact.

• Self-diagnosis sensor

This function helps the robot vacuum cleaner to stop working if there is a winding of wires on brushes or wheels, if the robot is stuck, then turn off the power to save battery and notify us with an audible alarm.

Sound signal

The robot vacuum cleaner has a sound signal informing the owner of the following actions:

• Dock Charging
• Filling the trash bin
• Low battery
• A malfunction in the vacuum cleaner

AUTO Button

By the color of the button illumination, you can determine the status of your assistant: green - fully charged and ready to go, yellow - the charge is exhausted, it's time to base and red - something went wrong (either the garbage container is full, or something wound up on brushes).

Also, thanks to this button on the top panel of the vacuum cleaner and its LED backlight, you can easily determine the location of your unit and do not step on it in a dark room.

Noise level

The robot is relatively quiet. The manufacturer claimed 60 dB, which is very close to the sound volume of ordinary conversational speech. The sound made by the noise is not annoying; being in the same room as a working robot is quite comfortable. You can compare the sound of its operation with the operation of the fan, i.e. he doesn’t interfere in any way with talking, watching TV or reading a book.

Programs

The vacuum cleaner is programmed to carry out cleaning in four stages, the change of which takes place automatically or you can choose them yourself.

• “Local cleaning”

The device removes only a small section of the room, the area of ​​which does not exceed 1x0.5 meters.

• “Along the walls”

Polaris PVCR 0826 conducts cleaning along all walls.

• “Normal cleaning”

The vacuum cleaner activates the free movement mode.

• "Cleaning a small room"

The device is cleaned indoors for 30 minutes.

Programs can be activated both on the robot vacuum cleaner using the “AUTO” button, or using the remote control. Also, using the remote control, you can program the robot to clean at a certain time, for example, when you are at work, so as not to be distracted by this in the evening.

Brushes

Mustache brushes or as they are also called side brushes. These brushes act as a broom - they sweep away debris towards the main brush and dust collector. They cope with this task with a bang! Even from the corners and from under the cabinets, he sweeps every single crumb. It is difficult to achieve this with a conventional vacuum cleaner due to the cumbersomeness of the nozzle, this is only possible if you change the nozzle and, having stretched out on the floor, climb under a cabinet or sofa. We are not all fans of yoga, so we are not ready for this with daily cleaning.The main brush is another advantage of the Polaris PVCR 0826 EVO robot vacuum cleaner. She collects garbage, animal hair and other traces of human activity, even from carpets with a small pile.

Dust collector

The case of the dust bag is made of tinted transparent plastic. The dust collector is removed by pressing the latch with the inscription PUSH, easily and simply. The upper part leans back to a large angle, which makes it easy to clean it of heavy debris from the lower part. For complete cleaning, you need to remove the preliminary strainer, shake off the debris from it, usually particles of wool, or, if necessary, clean the foam filter and the pleated fine filter.

Cleaning Technology and Filters

Garbage collection with the Polaris PVCR 0826 robot vacuum cleaner takes place according to the “cyclone” technology - side brushes sweep away the garbage towards the center and the main brush. A vortex air stream is created inside the cyclone, the inertia of which throws particles of collected dust to the walls of the chamber, and then the garbage enters the dust container. The air that comes out of the vacuum cleaner is 99.97% clean. Such a high cleaning rate provides a special type of filter - HEPA, which stands for a system of highly efficient suspended particles retention.

Cyclone technology is characterized by the fact that it helps to maintain a constant suction force, which in traditional vacuum cleaners using dust bags is gradually weakening. The engine of a cyclone vacuum cleaner works stably and in a gentle mode, which in the best way affects its service life.

The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a total of three filters, primary, foam and HEPA, which are able to hold not only animal hair, but also plant pollen. This is a huge plus for people allergic to these irritants, and everyone else will appreciate that the dust in the house will be several times less.

Wet cleaning

The main distinguishing feature of the Polaris PVCR 0826 EVO model is that it can do not only dry cleaning, but also wet. For this, a special aqua box with microfiber is included.

The tank of aqua boxing is enough for a 30-minute cleaning program. This is enough to clean an apartment of 50 sq.m. A terry cloth is attached to the bottom of the container with Velcro and two rubber bands, and clean water is poured into the barrel without adding any detergents. A warning about this is written on the aqua box itself. When washing the floor, the robot vacuum cleaner leaves a damp mark, which disappears within a minute.

The wet cleaning function can be used no matter what floor covering you have - it copes with linoleum with a bang, but the parquet will not suffer from it. It will be perfectly clean. During operation of this function, there were no complaints.

If you need to somewhere more thoroughly wash the floor or wipe something, then you can use the "work in a spiral" function on the remote control, and it will perfectly cope with the task. The dirt will not have a single chance.
