And mobile phone control! IRobot Roomba 960 sweeping robot APP conclusion irobot flagship sweeping robot! Top technology convergence! Recently, it can be said that it is the Warring States period of sweeping robots, and various manufacturers can be said to have launched various types of sweeping robot products. Among them, I have to mention iRobot. The reason why sweeping robots are now contending, iRobot's efforts to deepen this market can be said to have indelible contributions. Today, the flagship model Roomba 960 of iRobot to be launched by Ahui not only inherits the automatic cleaning function of the traditional sweeping robot, but also can connect with the APP specially controlled by the mobile phone through Wi-Fi cloud technology, set the scheduled cleaning time or watch the cleaning report.

Flagship model! IRobot Roomba 960 Sweeping Robot Unpacking The model we are going to introduce this time is IRobot Roomba 960, which is packed in cardboard boxes as a whole and is quite large. This time, I have to move to the living room table to unpack.

Characteristics of IRobot Roomba 960:

Lens+map+artificial intelligence iAdapt? 2.0 Three cleaning technologies combined with long-lasting lithium battery can be fully charged for 75 minutes continuously, and each cleaning area is about 25 ping. It is equipped with "Uninterruptible Power Supply Return and Cleaning". When there is no power, you will reserve 15% of the power to go back and charge yourself. When fully charged, it will return to the position where it just left to continue cleaning. Repeated return charging and cleaning can reach the latest virtual wall, and the cleaning area exceeds 50 ping. Double blocking mode, linear signal blocking and ring signal blocking WiFi connection, and mobile phone installation APP can control and understand robot cleaning information. The intimate design of AeroForce patented roller brush and double rubber brush can improve the cleaning ability and reduce the chance of hair entanglement. The patented single-sided triangular brush design can prevent the airflow on both sides from affecting each other, but instead send the collected dust to other places. On the back of the outer package, there are three characteristics of iRobot Roomba 960, which are smart, concise and clean.

As can be seen from the corner of the outer package, this iRobot Roomba 960 can be controlled by WI-FI after installing a special program through a smart phone (supporting the corresponding iOS and Android, which can be downloaded and installed in the application mall), which we will introduce later.

When you open the box, you can see this guarantee and warning slogan before you see the car body. Don't let the iRobot Roomba 960 touch the water, so as to avoid failure due to water infiltration.

This is Lesby's thoughtful warning. Please give priority to this small card to avoid problems in use.

After the warning prompt of the guarantee, we finally saw the ontology of iRobot Roomba 960. You can see a green square here.

This part mainly puts some accessories, such as filter screen, virtual wall and battery.

There is also the charging power cord of the main machine.

As for iRobot Roomba 960, how to get it from the box? Just gently pull the handle on the side of iRobot Roomba 960, and you can pick it up smoothly. This is also a * * * feature of the iRobot series, and the handle design is very convenient. From the entry-level style to today's 960 flagship model, this intimate handle design allows you to easily and intuitively carry the sweeping robot when you need to move it.

Next, let's look at the accessories. Official accessories include charging stand, power cord, dual-mode virtual wall, AeroForce high-efficiency filter, battery, rotating side brush for replacement and an operation manual.

Dual-function compact virtual wall! Super big! First of all, the part of dual-mode virtual wall, which is also a very powerful function of iRobot. First, this virtual wall is very small, which is very suitable for being placed anywhere in the home and does not occupy space. Another point is that he can set two modes from above. One is the infinite extension virtual wall mode, with an extension distance of about 3 meters. The other is the halo model of the peripheral circular block. With the virtual wall as the center, the scope of action is about1.2m in diameter.

Similar to the general use of virtual wall lines, for example, it can be used to divide blocks, and it is also the most common use.

When was the halo model used? The most intuitive use is pet feed bowls, or some vases and potted plants that are easy to collapse. As long as there is a virtual wall next to it that opens the halo mode, the sweeping robot will not pass.

But remember, the virtual wall needs batteries, so the official will attach batteries, and the batteries are for the virtual wall.

Next is the charging stand. Basically, you just need to put it in a corner of your home. It is best to note that the power wiring can be hidden.

Connect the power supply and put the charging stand in the corner of the house. When the sweeping robot runs out of power, it will find a charging stand to charge itself. If there is no power in the middle of cleaning, the unique function of "returning to cleaning without power failure" of iRobot 900 series can make the sweeping robot reserve 15% of the power and return it to the charging stand for charging. When it is full, it will go back to where it was just interrupted and continue to clean up.

Easy to use! The camera sensor is the smartest! Next, let's take a look at the ontology of iRobot Roomba 960. Except for the handle we just took out, the silver round button in the middle is the cleaning button, and the buttons on the left and right are the Dock button (return to charge) and the SPOT button (fixed point cleaning) respectively.

The one that appears to have a groove under the button is iAdaptTM 2.0 visual positioning navigation technology adopted by iRobot 900 series. Only by using the vSLAM lens on the machine can we send signals to all kinds of furniture and obstacles in the home, so as to draw a spatial map accurately.

Let's look at the bottom. IRobot Roomba 960 adopts Gen 2 motor, and its suction is five times that of previous 600-700 series models. When encountering carpets or particularly dirty environments, the dirt detection mode will be started, and sectors will be used in those areas to enhance the cleaning effect!

There is an edge brush in the upper left corner, which is about 3.5 cm long and can be replaced later. (There is also an extra set of side brushes attached for replacement. )

Next to the silver, there is a charging contact and a floor path tracking sensor, which mainly helps the robot to walk and clean the floor correctly in an S-shaped way. For the home environment part of high and low falls, the 960 machine has a 360-degree surround sensor, which can accurately distinguish the high and low falls and avoid falling.

In the middle is a vacuum cleaner consisting of two rubber wheels, the length of which is 17.5 cm. The main brush with rubber design can easily grab tiny dirt and dust on the ground.

If you press this switch, you can take out the whole dust box.

The dust box is like this. The red translucent cover in the middle can see the filter screen inside.

As long as the translucent cover is opened, the filter screen can be replaced directly. The official claims that the AeroForce high-efficiency filter itself can filter 99% allergens as small as 10 micron? Pollen and pollen grains cannot escape in tiny dust. ?

After the lid next to the dust box is opened, the dust inside can be completely poured out, which can be said to be very convenient in design.

AeroForce cleaning system! This can be said to be the flagship cleaning core of iRobot! Starting from the 800 series, the opposite AeroForce chip collector has been introduced, which can really play the role of stirring and scrubbing, and wipe off stubborn floor dirt.

Even if the house has been cleaned before, but after the actual cleaning of iRobot Roomba 960, a lot of dirty dust has been swept out, and many of them are hair crumbs. This is actually because iRobot Roomba 960 has built-in Dirt Detect second-generation dirt sensor, which can sense the places where hair, debris, dust and dirt are concentrated on the floor through the principles of optics and sound waves, and play a centralized cleaning effect.

In fact, the biggest fear of sweeping robots is getting stuck in their hair. Many kinds of sweeping robots are easy to hold the shaft when they encounter long hair, but the special AeroForce rubber tire design of iRobot Roomba 960 will not have such a problem.

If the rubber tire ages due to long-term use, this part can also be replaced, and the disassembly is very simple and not too difficult.

Remarks: the roller double rubber brush is a consumable, and there is no extra gift in the box.

And mobile phone control! The robot ontology of IRobot Roomba 960 sweeping robot APP is completed, so we can look at the main Wi-Fi cloud system. Whether you are an Android or iOS user, you can find a special control program "iRobot HOME Application" on Google Play and App Store, and you can install the program for your mobile phone system.

When you start the program for the first time, he will let you choose your area and the robot model you have. This time, we will choose the vacuum cleaner robot.

After selecting the sweeping robot, it will automatically enter the detection state, and then there will be a series of installation tips. Please follow his instructions to set up your sweeping robot.

When the sweeping robot first came, there was a shielding plug-in between the battery and the dust box. Please delete it manually.

After setting up your charging stand, put the sweeping robot on it and it will automatically start the charging process. In the process of charging, let's set up the wireless network to which the sweeping robot is connected. It should be noted that the sweeping robot does not support 5G Hz signals. Select the Wi-Fi you want to log in here and enter the login password.

At this point, please press and hold the Dock key and Sport key on the sweeping robot for two seconds, so that it will have a Wi-Fi signal, and then it will enter the connected state.

After the connection is successful, you can see a simple control interface. If you click on the top right corner, you can give your sweeping robot a name. Click this button on the screen, you can directly call the sweeping robot to start operation, and click it again to stop his cleaning action.

In the cleaning favorites settings, you can select the mode you want to clean. In addition to automatic cleaning, he will choose to clean once or twice each time. Edge cleaning function is also recommended to be turned on.

At the same time, you can also set which days and which times to clean automatically, without turning it on or off, which also has the advantage of keeping your home clean and tidy every day. The setting part mainly depends on the current setting and status of the sweeping robot. You can also receive your cleaning report from your mobile phone, or set whether to continue cleaning when the dust box is full.

Every time the scan is completed, it will also inform you that the work has been completed!

After each cleaning, you can also view the cleaning status, historical data and even every scanned map from the mobile APP; In particular, these records and maps will not be stored in the iRobot Wi-Fi machine for a long time, but will be automatically deleted within 90 minutes after cleaning. Only the apps written by consumers themselves are stored in consumers' terminal devices. For security reasons, these maps will not be sent to anyone, including iRobot head office. You can rest assured of this.
