Kyvol Cybovac S31 robot vacuum review: Quiet 2-in-1 cleaning and a long battery life Review
The Kyvol S31 robot vacuum is the most current in line of robot vacuums that mechanically empties the robot’s onboard dustbin, a boon for men and women like me who uncover the everyday 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 will get back again to its base, the dust is extracted into the charging base.
The robot alone is powerful with a 3000Pa suction motor, which is the most powerful motor I have at any time tried using. It is tranquil, much too, at roughly forty five decibels so is hardly visible in use.
The S31 works by using Laser Length Sensors (LDS) to navigate and keep the map of the place. It has a long runtime of up to four several hours from its 5,200mAh battery — but I uncovered that it in no way ran out of battery no subject how a lot it cleaned the place.
If the battery does get reduced, the Kyvol S31 will go back again to its charging base and recharge, just before going back again to the last spot it cleaned and finishing the task.
Like several robot vacuums, through the app, you can find cleansing zones, and utilize a cleansing schedule. The app was quick to install and join to the S31 – but I had substantial troubles soon after I put in the app.
The app determined that the firmware of the S31 required to be up to date. It would not update the firmware until the battery was charged to much more than twenty{d11068cee6a5c14bc1230e191cd2ec553067ecb641ed9b4e647acef6cc316fdd}. The robot showed a pulsing white light-weight — indicating it was completely charged — still I could not update the firmware.
I stored the robot on its charger for a few times and checked several times that the demand factors were not included in plastic film, and the on-board battery was working. I could not get past the firmware update on the app.
I gave up and determined to use the robot manually by applying the supplied distant command unit. Surprisingly, soon after the initial sweep initiated by the distant command, the firmware up to date and I could alter the settings in the app as usual.
Considering the fact that then, the app has provided me no problems at all. The app is enough — but not as sophisticated as the Roborock or Ecovacs apps. It would seem a minimal pixelated when compared to other folks. On the other hand, it has identical settings to configure and does not look to absence attributes.
You can also command the robot by voice, but I desire the ‘set it and forget it’ method applying the schedule to clean the flooring every working day. I often forget to use voice-activated gadgets, and I do not want to be about when the robot is accomplishing its little bit.
When the robot has concluded its clean it goes back again to its dock and swivels about so it proficiently reverses into its parking slot. The motor on the auto-emptying station sucks the filth out of its onboard dustbin. The robot then swivels about once again to demand alone.
Like several other robot vacuums, the S31 can sweep and mop flooring at the exact same time. The mopping cloth wipes the flooring as the robot moves ahead. It does not scrub the flooring like the Deebot mopping accessory or the vibrating mop of the Hobot Legee 688.
It is wonderful for each day mopping, but if your flooring get truly filthy, I would recommend that you scrubbed the flooring initial and then set the robot for everyday mopping. The only problem is that when the mopping module is on the robot, then the robot will not auto-empty alone.
The mopping module tank is only 110ml, so if you have a huge expanse of difficult flooring, you will will need to fill up the module much more often. I pre-wet the mopping cloth to make guaranteed that the cloth starts to mop straight away and there are no dry locations until the mop cloth gets to be damp.
Like the Neabot, the light-weight on the charging station is exceptionally vibrant and lights up the space in the center of the night. This could possibly be an issue if you continue to keep the Kyvol S31 in your bedroom. You could possibly will need to mask the light-weight to get a actually dim space if you do not will need a nightlight.
On the other hand, these are little problems, and now I have an understanding of how to get obtain to the app, for underneath $250 the Kyvol Cybovac S31 is a joy to use.
It has been a pleasure attempting this economical, powerful robot — ideal for any person who hates emptying the vacuum’s dustbin.
