How to choose a vacuum cleaner for your homeWe understand the types of vacuum cleaners, types of cleaning, dust collectors, power and other selection criteria

Two cleaning modes

The robot vacuum cleaner of the world-famous manufacturer of cleaning equipment Karcher has a round shape in the form of a washer and branded black and yellow colours. It is positioned as a reliable assistant for cleaning wood, stone floors and short pile carpets. To combat dust and debris, three brushes are designed at once: one side and two main ones. One of them is regular with bristles, the second has rubber inserts. However there are only two cleaning modes: automatic, when the robot cleans all available surfaces in the housing, systematically passing through them, and spot cleaning of a certain area — a square 1.5 m in size.

In general, the device handles well with dust, various debris and hair, but the volume of the dust container is 350 mL, so you will have to clean it often, especially if the house or apartment has a large area.

Sensors and battery life

With the help of sensors and a camera, the robot draws up a diagram of the room, orients itself in rooms and draws up routes for cleaning. In addition, they protect the device from falling down stairs and colliding with obstacles in the room. As a result, the vacuum cleaner recognizes obstacles in advance and avoids them.

The battery capacity is 2600 mAh, one charge will last up to 2 hours. When the battery is low, the robot itself returns to the base and resumes cleaning after replenishing energy. By the way, it takes 3-4 hours to fully charge.

Smartphone control

A single button on the case is responsible for control, as well as a proprietary application on the smartphone. However its capabilities are somewhat limited: you can start or stop work, send the device to the docking station, monitor its movement, set the mode and schedule (day of the week and time). But, unfortunately, it is impossible to establish virtual boundaries or specific areas for cleaning.

By the way, Karcher RC 3 and Karcher RC 3 Premium are no different in design and functionality. But the Premium version has a good package with additional brushes and filters.
