Design
The robot has a classic round design, finished in a nice chocolate black color. On the upper part there is a control panel with mechanical buttons and an indication of the current state of the robot. Also on the top is a retractable plastic handle, which is necessary for carrying the device. An infrared sensor is located on the front of the robot, it protrudes slightly above the entire body. On the opposite side is the push button for the waste bin.
On the side of the vacuum cleaner there is a soft bumper, a start and stop button, contacts for connecting to the charging station. At the bottom there are two large driving wheels and a swivel wheel for maneuvering. One side brush and sensors for orientation in space are also attached here. In the center is an air intake hole, to which a turbo brush can be installed, which is a two-roller scraper. The turbo brush is attached to special clamps.
Model functionality
The vacuum cleaner can work in automatic mode or in local mode. It moves according to the following schemes:
- Chaotic.
- Along the perimeter.
- Zigzag.
- Obstacle avoidance.
- Spiral.
The model is distinguished from other representatives of the line and competitors by a special cleaning system, which consists of a specially designed turbo brush — two rubber rollers, complemented by scrapers. The rollers rotate towards each other in different directions, which helps to remove even dried dirt from the floor and collect even small pieces of debris, sand, dust, fine wool and hair. Long threads and hair are not wound on rubber brushes. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with high-purity filtration that retains 99% of allergens — pollen, plant spores and fine dust — AeroForce.
The second factor that makes Roomba 890 cleaning more effective is the increased suction power. The air flow passes between the dust collector and the vacuum channel, completely isolated from outside air. This tightness allows you to create a powerful suction flow with the same motor power as that of competitors.
For orientation in space, the vacuum cleaner uses an advanced navigation system, composed of a large number of sensors. The robot evaluates the space and creates the best route for effective cleaning under interior items, along walls and in corners. A special sensor detects areas with the greatest contamination and cleans them particularly thoroughly.
A soft bumper and a set of sensors around the circumference protect the vacuum cleaner, walls and furniture from bumps and damage. The kit with the device includes a virtual wall, for this iRobot it works on the principle of a beacon, which covers an area up to 3 meters and makes it inaccessible to the vacuum cleaner. There is a «halo» mode that limits the zone to 1.5 meters. The vacuum cleaner is controlled by an application on a mobile phone.
