The Kyvol S31 robot vacuum is the most up-to-date in line of robot vacuums that instantly empties the robot’s onboard dustbin, a boon for men and women like me who come across the day by day emptying of the robot’s dustbin a little bit of a drag.
Its charging base has an integrated charging base with a 4.3L self-emptying dustbin. So when the robot gets back to its base, the dust is extracted into the charging base.
The robot alone is potent with a 3000Pa suction motor, which is the most potent motor I have ever experimented with. It is quiet, as well, at approximately forty five decibels so is hardly apparent in use.
The S31 uses Laser Length Sensors (LDS) to navigate and keep the map of the region. It has a long runtime of up to four several hours from its 5,200mAh battery — but I identified that it never ran out of battery no make any difference how significantly it cleaned the region.
If the battery does get lower, the Kyvol S31 will go back to its charging base and recharge, right before likely back to the past place it cleaned and ending the position.
Like several robot vacuums, by way of the app, you can select cleansing zones, and implement a cleansing agenda. The app was effortless to set up and connect to the S31 – but I experienced sizeable challenges right after I installed the app.
The app decided that the firmware of the S31 required to be up to date. It would not update the firmware until eventually the battery was charged to additional than twenty{36a394957233d72e39ae9c6059652940c987f134ee85c6741bc5f1e7246491e6}. The robot showed a pulsing white light — indicating it was fully charged — nevertheless I could not update the firmware.
I retained the robot on its charger for three days and checked numerous situations that the demand factors were not covered in plastic movie, and the on-board battery was doing the job. I could not get previous the firmware update on the app.
I gave up and decided to use the robot manually by utilizing the equipped distant management device. Unusually, right after the very first sweep initiated by the distant management, the firmware up to date and I could modify the configurations in the app as regular.
Given that then, the app has presented me no troubles at all. The app is ample — but not as subtle as the Roborock or Ecovacs apps. It appears to be a small pixelated in comparison to other people. However, it has identical configurations to configure and does not appear to be to absence capabilities.
You can also management the robot by voice, but I want the ‘set it and forget about it’ method utilizing the agenda to clear the flooring each working day. I normally forget about to use voice-activated equipment, and I do not want to be around when the robot is accomplishing its little bit.
When the robot has finished its clear it goes back to its dock and swivels around so it properly reverses into its parking slot. The motor on the automobile-emptying station sucks the grime out of its onboard dustbin. The robot then swivels around yet again to demand alone.
Like several other robot vacuums, the S31 can sweep and mop floors at the very same time. The mopping cloth wipes the flooring as the robot moves forward. It does not scrub the flooring like the Deebot mopping accent or the vibrating mop of the Hobot Legee 688.
It is fine for day to day mopping, but if your floors get truly dirty, I would advocate that you scrubbed the floors very first and then set the robot for day by day mopping. The only obstacle is that when the mopping module is on the robot, then the robot will not automobile-vacant alone.
The mopping module tank is only 110ml, so if you have a large expanse of tricky flooring, you will have to have to fill up the module additional normally. I pre-moist the mopping cloth to make guaranteed that the cloth begins to mop right away and there are no dry areas until eventually the mop cloth will become moist.
Like the Neabot, the light on the charging station is extremely vibrant and lights up the space in the middle of the evening. This may well be an difficulty if you hold the Kyvol S31 in your bed room. You may well have to have to mask the light to get a really darkish space if you do not have to have a nightlight.
However, these are modest troubles, and now I understand how to get accessibility to the app, for below $250 the Kyvol Cybovac S31 is a pleasure to use.
It has been a pleasure attempting this economical, potent robot — excellent for any one who hates emptying the vacuum’s dustbin.
