"Torturous" things are everywhere in life, and all we have to do is find convenient and effective ways to deal with them. For example, cleaning the ground, in the past, everyone basically used brooms and mops to complete these two tools, and then the sweeping robot replaced the broom, and then the sweeping robot swept the floor and mopping the work are covered, spending money once, for a long time there is no need to worry about cleaning.
In fact, in addition to the more common sweeping robots and sweeping and dragging integrated robots, there are many household cleaning robots. This article introduces you to a new cleaning robot just released by Zhimi Technology - Zhimi Washing Robot Pioneer A1. Although it is called a floor washing robot, it integrates a variety of working modes, can suck, can drag and wash, belongs to an all-round player.
The packaging design style of the Zhimi Floor Washing Robot Pioneer A1 is similar to that of the sweeping robot product, not as complex as the vacuum cleaner, including the robot main unit, charging cradle, power adapter, spare filter sponge/filter assembly, spare roller brush, hair cleaning cutter, instruction manual and quick start guide. In addition, a 250 ml bottle of floor cleaner is included.
Zhimi has made two color matching versions for this product, called white and white gold, and we have a white gold version in our hand. In terms of actual appearance, the white version of the Zhimi Washing Robot Pioneer A1 and the white gold version are mainly white, the difference is that the white gold version of the radome and the front of the panel have added gold embellishments, which is more designed.
The shape of the Zhimi floor washing robot pioneer A1 is also more special, it is not made into a circle like most sweeping robots, but chooses the D type, and the corners use the section design. This seemingly less regular approach is not entirely for the pursuit of individuality, in addition to allowing the product itself to accommodate a larger size of the roller brush, it is also helpful to improve the ability to clean dead corners.
Not too large, Zhimi is stuffed into a variety of electronic components used to ensure intelligent work, in addition to the more conspicuous radar ranging sensor at the top, the front and rear of the fuselage are provided with infrared recharge sensors (the rear infrared backfill sensor adjacent to the opening holes are speakers and fan outlets), the side has a distance sensor along the wall, and the cliff monitoring sensor is located at the bottom of the fuselage.
I don't know if you have noticed that if you compare the sweeping robot products, the gimbal wheel and the small guide wheel diameter at the bottom of the Zhimi floor washing robot pioneer A1 are smaller, so the absolute passability is slightly weaker. This is actually very much related to the working logic of the two, the floor washing robot emphasizes fine cleaning, so the roller brush should touch the ground as much as possible, and it is recommended to pay attention to the ground obstacles during use.
The details of the part of Zhimi are still relatively in place. As you can see, a small storage space is made above the self-cleaning charging cradle, and the spare roller brush or brush and other gadgets that are not usually used can be placed inside for easy sorting; there is a hub designed behind the charging cradle, and the cable can be combed according to the layout of its own plug board in the later stage, which can well solve the messy feeling caused by the cable being exposed.
Focus on what you can do when you buy such a product. In terms of functionality, Zhimi Floor Washing Robot Pioneer A1 has two working modes of washing and dry sweeping, all of which are set up with light dirt files, standard files and heavy dirt files. Among them, the washing mode can be used for daily wet drag, while the dry sweep mode is more suitable for vacuuming, and the working mode can be automatically switched by switching different water tank covers, which is easy to get started.
As a Mijia ecological chain enterprise, Zhimi floor washing robot pioneer A1 is undoubtedly also connected to the Mijia app, after filling the water tank, you can choose the silent (light dirt file), standard, strong (heavy dirt file) mode to clean according to the current ground cleanliness. In addition, it is also like the sweeping robot, allowing users to customize the cleaning area or make an appointment for cleaning.
In terms of actual use experience, this product is open to users with a relatively high degree of cleaning freedom, supporting the addition of virtual walls, cleaning forbidden areas and washing forbidden areas. Moreover, if you just accidentally sprinkle milk and other stolen goods on a certain piece of ground, you can also let the Zhimi floor washing robot Pioneer A1 perform "fixed-point cleaning", which defaults to cleaning a square area of 1.5 meters × 1.5 meters, which is very humane.
Compared with the more common hand-held scrubbing machine, the Zhimi floor washing robot pioneer A1 has two main advantages. First of all, it can be "washed with live water", and the fuselage has its own 600ml water tank and 360ml sewage tank. When working, the brush can reach a maximum speed of 1600 revolutions per minute, which means that the robot can clean the ground more than 1000 times per minute.
With full water and full electricity, the Zhimi Floor Washing Robot Pioneer A1 can meet the needs of up to 120 square meters of floor cleaning. Of course, the size of the area that can be cleaned depends more on the selected working gear, and the silent mode, standard mode, and powerful mode are in descending arc. From our actual experience, in standard mode, its cleaning market is about 70 minutes, and the recharge begins when the battery level is less than 15%.
While rotating at high speed, the robot will send clean water to the roller brush at a minimum of 0.116g per second, and recycle the sewage into the sewage tank through a waterproof fan with a maximum suction force of 4000Pa, so that the reciprocating cycle successfully realizes the living water washing. Of course, it can take care of the vacuuming task, but also thanks to the built-in large suction fan.
Another ability that I think is very useful is that it can self-clean without the help of an additional base station. In the washing mode, its working logic is to first let the roller rotate + spray water, last for about 5 seconds and then start the fan work at the same time, and then stop the spray after about 10 seconds, the roller brush and the fan run for 30 seconds with the highest data indicators, and the overall process takes about 45 seconds.
After each cleaning, the robot automatically returns to the charging cradle to complete the deep secondary cleaning, and it takes almost 8 hours for the air-drying brush. Of course, if it is self-cleaning in dry sweep mode, there is no such step as air drying. In other respects, the Zhimi Floor Wash Robot Pioneer A1 has good noise control when working in silent mode, and the anti-fall performance is also good.
During this time, the overall feeling of the Zhimi floor washing robot pioneer A1 is convenient, in addition to the remote use of mobile phones for it to issue various cleaning tasks, the most important point is that there is no need to clean and maintain the robot frequently. In addition, the random stray brush is a universal type, if the home is a wooden floor, the cleaning effect of the pure soft brush will be better.
From the perspective of cleaning, the Zhimi Floor Washing Robot Pioneer A1 is superior to the sweeping and dragging integrated robot, in that it can more easily remove dry and wet garbage and large particles of viscous garbage, and the comprehensive scene adaptability is stronger. Finally, the official price of the Zhimi Floor Washing Robot Pioneer A1 is 4999 yuan, which is currently in the pre-sale stage.
