Lights and shadows hover over a product that should be much more than it actually is for cleaning the house.
Two months after receiving this product from Proscenic, I can’t help but be calm disappointed both with the product and with the company itself. Throughout the article, you will see that the advantages of this robotic vacuum cleaner are as few as the disadvantages, both in this product area and specifically with this Floobot X1. The stick vacuum comparison is inevitable, but there is no reason why Experiences use was average.
Your home needs a robotic vacuum cleaner, but it doesn’t have to be the Proscenic Floobot X1
Let’s start with the design and sales box. He productsure, it’s a a really cool piece of design and what distills quality For the fourth corners. Inside boxwhich is conveniently organized, there they are Accessories necessary not only to maintain the cleanliness of the product, but also of additional components, so that, for example, brushes can be replaced in case of wear. So far everything is perfect.

In addition, this robotic vacuum cleaner has a base which is not only capable load the productbut also serves as dirt container, the possibility to transfer the contents of the robot to a classic vacuum cleaner bag, which is placed inside. This process, which can be done manually or automatically, is fast and perfect. However, in my experience, this is where things start to go wrong.
And for someone who has used a robot vacuum cleaner for the first time and who knows all kinds of technological products because that’s my main job, debugging process was hairy. Not only neither instructions nor application for mobile devices they will show you a Step by step create the first map of the house, but it ends up being gibberish that even the vacuum cleaner can’t decipher. TO solution request by the company, I still find myself waiting to contact me which is one of the big negatives of this experience.
So as soon as the time passed, I decided to make it happen first tests without having multiple reports of possible solutions mapping errors. Obviously, since my house is not properly configured in the app, I think the rest of the functions cannot be performed normally. Imagine if I have problems with the configuration, what it would mean if a person with little knowledge of technology tried to use it. In any case, even if it has a 3,200 mAh batteryAutonomy is not one of its strengths.
The cleaning Yippee quite rightalthough a lot of dirt accumulates on the lower rollers, which later has to be removed by hand, but it seems quite difficult to explain that in an apartment smaller than 90 square meters could not be completedon no occasion, and complete wiping in rooms as it will return to the charging base before finishing.
As has been shown, in less than 45 minutes It drains almost completely, then takes about three hours to start up again. Moreover, even if it has 28 integrated sensorshe is unable to take a rational path through the rooms, nor does he dodge crash every two or three with corners, walls and furniture.

The mop functionwhich is also one option that may be of interest to the target audience of this product is quite functional, which is a very practical way to keep rooms clean. Of course given that water tank has capacity 250 millilitersYou can’t even clean the whole house in one sitting. Yes, there it is the possibility to schedule room-by-room cleaningbut since the app and bot didn’t want to cooperate much in the analysis, I was unable to prove this point.
And speaking of applicationwhich I could not test in depth, yes i think it’s on par robotic vacuum cleaner worth in 2023. From it the user will be able define different rooms house and create zones clean and scrub. There are display options cleaning history, set do not disturb mode or manage how the bot empties content into the base. Additionally, in a feature that I found very interesting, the app allows you to offers a record of consumablesperfect for knowing the lifespan of various parts of the vacuum cleaner.
I imagine that either the robotic vacuum I had the chance to have at home was defective or needed some type of update that never arrived and that didn’t show up in the corresponding section of the app. Yes, maybe some negative aspects of the robot vacuum cleaner shared with the rest of the articles in this industry industry smart homes. AND deep cleaninga review of low furniture, a sofa or the back of a door is impossible to be made with these devices.
My final conclusionafter several months of waiting for word from Proscenic that never arrived and using the Floobot X1 to a fairly limited extent, I would ultimately define the product as an excellent ideain the body and poorly made product. The possibility of leaving floor cleaning in the hands of state-of-the-art technology is very interesting, but must be considered of this type products so yours use was more intuitive facing the end user.
I’m not saying it’s the worst product I’ve tried on our site so far, but it’s the one with the biggest disappointment I took, so much for they fail to use their full potential due to lack of communication with the brand and also performance below what I had in mind. Maybe, and I really hope so, it was a mistake defective unit. Of course, the experience was also equally flawed.
