Robot vacuum cleaner Roborock E4: review, technical specifications, pros / cons, reviews

Robot vacuum cleaner Roborock E4 refers to the budget line of the medium price category of the company Xiaomi. Its price is now 15-20 thousand rubles. Despite the modest price, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with all the necessary functionality and is able to perform dry and wet cleaning.
The review will give a full description of the device, so that even the untrained reader will understand whether the device will be worth the money spent and in which house or apartment it is possible to get the most out of it.

Roborock E4 functionality

The first thing you need to do is to download the mobile app to your smartphone, then connect the vacuum cleaner to it. The process is quite simple, usually it does not cause difficulties.

The display shows the battery charge and information about the last cleaning: the time the vacuum cleaner worked, and what area was cleaned. The map of the room is not displayed immediately, you can see it in the history of past cleanings. This is a disadvantage.

The following buttons are located on the bottom console: forced return of the robot to the base to charge the battery, start the vacuum cleaner in automatic mode and the button to change the power. Also, the vacuum cleaner allows you to automatically increase the power when entering the carpet.

Gentle mode is for wet cleaning only. The button "Do not disturb" makes the robot silent and eliminates the launch of the device when the owner is asleep. There is a built in timer. The robot vacuum cleaner moves in a snake, so the navigation is provided.

Additional available functionality:

• Adjusting the volume of alerts and language selection;
• Manual control of the robot;
• Selective cleaning mode;
• View a cleaning log to track the status of consumables and view a cleaning map.

These functions of Roborock E4 robot are the main ones. The vacuum cleaner has a chic functionality in its price category. The only thing missing is the function that allows you to set restricted areas for cleaning and virtual walls. It was originally there. But this model is too weak for such a function, and it can fall into disrepair.

Because of this, Roborock engineers decided not to experiment and removed this feature. Perhaps it will be added in the future, when all the problems are fixed.

The packaging of the robot vacuum cleaner

Packaging vacuum cleaner strict design, with laconic inscriptions regarding the model. The manufacturer claims that it cleans 10% better than other low-cost models in its line.

Opening the box with the vacuum cleaner, the user will find:

• The robot vacuum cleaner itself;
• Silicone mat that protects the floor from moisture;
• Docking station;
• Power cord with euro standard plug;
• Replacement nozzles;
• Brush for wet cleaning. The level of water supply to the nozzle is adjustable, you can pour up to 180 ml of water at a time. Such functionality is rare for the average price segment and is implemented in more expensive models from Xiaomi.

There is no remote control in the kit, because the manufacturer provides control of the robot with a mobile application. The package is not rich, it is predictable, given the low cost of the robot.

Customer Reviews

"The quality of cleaning is completely satisfied, only can not capture small debris, such as a dried leaf from a houseplant. Charging enough for a full cleaning cycle of the apartment of 68 sq.m. Due to the sensor on top is easy to get under all the furniture. Likes to pull in the wire, so they must be removed beforehand. Can get stuck somewhere and do not signal about it. Wet mopping is nothing, stupidly drags a rag in front of it. More like a marketing ploy. I was very pleased with the timer. In general, the model for the price/quality is more than satisfactory, given that for me it is not important to set the type of individual cleaning zones.
