(HOME ROBOT) Hobot Legee-668 Vacuum

Product Review:

Overview

The Hobot Legee-668 is a highly functional robot vacuum and mop designed to offer a comprehensive 4-in-1 cleaning solution. It combines the power of vacuuming, dry mopping, spraying, and wet mopping in one device. The Hobot Legee-668 Vacuum is a 4-in-1 robotic cleaner designed to handle both vacuuming and mopping tasks, making it suitable for hard floors. It's particularly known for its efficient navigation system and unique ability to perform several tasks at once.

Key Features:

1. 4-in-1 Cleaning:

   • Vacuuming: It effectively vacuums dirt and debris.
   • Dry Mopping: Uses a microfiber cloth to dry mop the floor.
   • Spraying Water: Sprays water to loosen dirt.
   • Wet Mopping: Finally, it wipes the floor for a clean finish.

2. Smart Navigation (LEGEE® Smart Navigation Technology):

   • The Hobot Legee-668 uses laser sensors and algorithms for mapping, which allows it to efficiently navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck in tight spots.
   • Its path planning is designed for effective cleaning, covering the entire floor without missing areas.

3. Powerful Suction:

   • It comes with strong suction capabilities that work well on hard floors to pick up dust, pet hair, and other debris.

4. App Control:

   • The cleaner can be controlled via a mobile app, allowing users to start, pause, or schedule cleaning remotely. However, the app is relatively basic compared to competitors.

5. Cliff Detection:

   • Prevents the robot from falling down stairs or ledges by detecting cliffs and edges.

6. Water Tank and Mopping Cloth:

   • Equipped with a water tank and mopping cloth system that works in tandem with the vacuum function, offering a two-in-one clean.

Performance:

• Cleaning Efficiency:

  • The Legee-668 is particularly well-suited for hard floors such as tiles, hardwood, or vinyl. It performs better on these surfaces compared to carpets, which may not be its strong suit.
  • Its mopping feature works best on mildly dirty floors but may struggle with sticky stains or deeper dirt.

• Battery Life:

  • It can run for about 90 minutes on a single charge, which is average for a robotic vacuum. The runtime should be sufficient for medium-sized homes.
  • The charging time is around 3-4 hours.

• Noise Levels:

  • While vacuuming, it operates with moderate noise, though quieter than many traditional vacuums.

Pros:

• Combines vacuuming and mopping in one device.
• Suitable for various types of hard floors.
• Smart navigation that prevents the vacuum from missing spots.
• App control offers remote functionality.

Cons:

• Not as effective on carpets.
• App features are basic and could be improved.
• Struggles with more stubborn, sticky stains during mopping.
• Price is on the higher side compared to basic robotic vacuums.

Additional Specifications:

• Dimensions: 95 mm (H) x 330 mm (W) x 340 mm (D)
• Dustbin Capacity: 0.5 liters
• Battery Capacity: 2750 mAh
• Noise Level: 60 dB
• Smartphone App Control: Yes
• Water Tank Capacity: Approx. 300ml for mopping
• Recommended Floor Types: Hardwood, tile, laminate, low-pile carpet

Detailed FAQ:

1. Can the Hobot Legee-668 clean carpets?

   • Yes, it can clean low-pile carpets effectively, but it is not ideal for high-pile carpets. The vacuum performs best on hard floors like tiles, wood, or laminate.

2. How do I maintain the Hobot Legee-668?

   • To maintain the robot, clean the dustbin regularly, remove any hair or debris from the brushes and rollers, and refill the water tank for mopping. Make sure the sensors and the water tank are clean before each use.

3. How long does the battery last on a full charge?

   • The battery lasts around 150 minutes, depending on the mode of operation and the size of the area being cleaned.

4. Is it good for pet owners?

   • Yes, it is effective for picking up pet hair, thanks to its strong suction power and mopping function. However, it may require frequent cleaning of the brushes if there is a lot of hair.

5. Can I control the Hobot Legee-668 remotely?

   • Yes, through the Hobot app, you can control the robot, schedule cleaning, adjust settings, and monitor the cleaning process from your smartphone.

6. How does the navigation work?

   • The Legee-668 uses advanced laser navigation to scan and map out your home, creating an efficient cleaning path. It avoids obstacles, ensuring that the robot doesn't get stuck.

7. How do I set it up for the first time?

   • Simply charge the robot fully, connect it to the Wi-Fi through the app, and place it on the floor to start cleaning. It will automatically begin when powered on.

8. What surfaces can the Legee-668 clean?

   • It works best on hard floors like tile, wood, and laminate. While it can clean low-pile carpets, it may not be effective on high-pile or shaggy carpets.

9. Is it noisy?

   • The Legee-668 operates at a moderate noise level (around 60 dB), making it relatively quiet compared to traditional vacuum cleaners.

10. How do I clean the water tank?

    • You should rinse the water tank after every use, especially if you’ve used any floor cleaner. Regular cleaning ensures no mold buildup and keeps the robot in optimal condition.

Verdict:

The Hobot Legee-668 is ideal for users who need a robotic cleaner specifically for hard floors and want a vacuum that can also mop. Its 4-in-1 design is great for keeping floors spotless, especially for daily maintenance. However, if you need a vacuum for deep cleaning or carpets, there are better alternatives on the market.

Product Description:

HOBOT LEGEE-668 Vacuum-Mop 4 in 1 Home Robot for Floor, Automatic Robot for Wet or Dry Floor Cleaning. 

You have never seen a robot quite like it! 

HOBOT engineers thoroughly studied the process of washing the floor by professionals and singled out 2 stages of cleaning: 

Stage 1: Preliminarily need to collect crumbs and dust - this is successfully handled by a person with a conventional vacuum cleaner or a robot vacuum cleaner. 
Stage 2: Moisten floors with water, wipe off dirt and wipe dry - this can be done by a person with a mop or special polisher. 

Its ingenuity is simple! 

The first Home Robot to combine a robot vacuum cleaner and a mopper into one device. It is designed with cleaning pads to mop the floor by imitating hand movement, increased the frequency of mopping, added a smart navigation system, a microdroplet metered spray of water, and reliable cartepiilar tracks. That's how a new generation of robots was born.

Home Robot - floor washer HOBOT LEGEE-668 is 2 robots in 1.
It is a hybrid of a robot vacuum cleaner and a robot mopper with excellent cleaning quality! 

Now washing the floors in the house will be a pleasant experience for you!

LEGEE is an advanced navigation system that allows to bypass obstacles and objects and to precisely map out its path during the cleaning of your house. It uses a set of laser sensors to build a map of the room and determine the position in space. 

Exclusive patented method of washing the floor FastBrush.

A powerful vacuum cleaner pump sucks in small debris, hair and animal fur. The drive mechanism of reciprocating motion of the cleaning cloths (pads) simulates the movements of the hands to remove dried stains and debris from the floor by oscillating 10 times per second. The next stage is microdroplet spraying of water for softening of dried stains and dirt that are not removed through dry wiping. Finally the rear cleaning cloth (pad) not only absorbs moisture and wipes stains and dirt, but also polishes the floor.
