Robot vacuum cleaner "Oriflame": pros and cons of the model parameters + comparison with competitors

The robot cleaner Oriflame became famous due to the fact that the representatives of the same company, engaged in cosmetics, want to keep up with the times and made it a party to all of its numerous actions.

This tradition has not changed for almost 3 years. Therefore, the Internet blossomed information about this unit. As a result, he became one of the most popular in its class in our country.

The characteristics and features of the model

Robot under the brand Oriflame is nothing more than a marketing ploy company and conquer this niche market, it is not going to. We offer to get to know him better, because the advertising promises many beneficial owners of the vacuum cleaner.

Features of the robot from Oriflame

The main feature of this device lies in the fact that the developers, industrial platform and everything else necessary for the production, is absent. This means that the right to a vacuum cleaner was purchased from companies specializing in them.

And her name is not hidden - it's Chinese Sharp Crown Development, is one of many manufacturers from the country.

A significant advantage of the robot Oriflame is an opportunity to buy it with substantial discounts on one of the shares, which are many. The photo advertising one of them, by the way, there is the date when the company began to offer customers a product. This means that it is not the first freshness

On the Internet you can find information, indicating that the vacuum cleaner is going according to the techniques of the legendary Japanese group with a similar name, but it is not.

Representatives of the Chinese manufacturer's claim that they use only their own experience. That there is no relationship between the enterprises, or even just a working relationship there.

It is easy to figure out what Sharp Crown Development is a small organization, composed of only a few hundred employees.

A production of robotic vacuum cleaners is their main activity since its inception. That happened a long time ago - in 2004
Footage will help to better understand the capabilities of the unit:

What is a unit?

Robot, sold under the brand Oriflame, is classified as the most affordable. He is able to maintain the house in order, between spring cleaning. While carrying out the dry cleaning facilities or supplementing it by wiping with a damp, which increases the quality.

This robot cleaner is able to cope with cleaning various surfaces, but it is best show its features only on solid

But for best results, the robot need to create some of the conditions that can not be ignored, as will reduce the effectiveness or, more generally, will be lost sense of use.

These include:

• suitable area - it should be a relatively small 30 square meters. meters;
• transportation - the vacuum cleaner, as well as all the other relating to the initial class, is not able to overcome obstacles, the height of which is greater than a few centimeters.

This feature does not guarantee that the robot can even move on a gentle rise that require even more attention from the owner - will have to regularly move it from one room to another.

The reason for limiting the cleaning area lies in the fact that the battery life is less than 50 minutes and if the cleaning is not will be performed after this period, then it is necessary several times to repeat the installation procedure for charging, run, carrying.

As a result, the main advantage is lost - performance cleaning with minimal effort on the part of man.

An important condition is that the surface and - if it is solid, it may be any, for example, wood, tile.

When covered with a carpet, the pile portion height must not exceed even a couple of centimeters. Since the product can not cope with the movement and simply not be able to perform cleaning.

Buying this robot vacuum cleaner to clean all sorts of hard floors, you should make sure that they are no elevation changes and other obstacles, for example, linoleum folds. If you do not pay attention to this point, you have to become a permanent assistant with such technical means

If any of these conditions are not met, you will not be able to achieve the expected results. As a result, this once tired and the vacuum cleaner will be idle because of uselessness in the pantry.

Technical characteristics of the robot from Oriflame

As it relates to most classes available, the user will meet with some restrictions affecting the battery life.

The first - the lack of charging base, to which the more expensive models are returned after the execution of the program, or the battery discharge.

Wherein the formulation to recharge takes place automatically, and after its closure may be performed by a new cleaning cycle. That is, fully justifies the name of "robot" only more expensive vacuum cleaners.

And Oriflame, as well as other more affordable models, is able to function only after the owner put it on the charging duration is 4:00.

Then you need to disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains and press the "Start" button. She is the only on the body, so the user will not be able to confuse her. And only after that the unit automatically begins to perform his duties.

The robot from Oriflame is an important limitation in comparison with the more expensive models - the inability to harvest planning

Therefore Oriflejm often moves erratically, thereby passing each place more than once. What makes the process less efficient and economical.

An important advantage of the robot Oriflame is its ease of use, management. Everything is intuitive, and if you have any questions, they can be solved with the help of the information specified in the instructions and on the box

If a potential buyer is not afraid of these features, the model is quite suitable to him. Especially given the fact that it has everything you need to perform their duties.

Namely:

• high efficiency filter (HEPA) - it even allows you to delay the tiny particles of pollution;
• quite powerful suction (23 W) - it helps to cope with dust, wool, other small dry cell batteries;
• acceptable appearance.

To increase the cleaning effectiveness of the manufacturer has provided several modes of movement of the robot in the premises. It is interesting that choosing any of them is impossible - it is the prerogative of the navigation system, as evidenced by the absence of controls, the remote control.

But this same feature allows the robot Oriflame ease of management. Since the presence of just one button minimizes the need to possess any special skills and knowledge.

Motion modes:

• arbitrary or chaotic - in which case the vacuum cleaner navigation system selects the direction completely independently, making adjustments when detecting obstacles;
• spirally - a way to move is optimal if you need to clean up, not all housing, but only a part of the contaminated;
• the walls - it makes it possible to maintain order in the most remote places, which are the corners of the space along the baseboards.

As indicated above, Oriflejm vacuum cleaner capable of performing wet cleaning. For this purpose, to the bottom of a special panel mounted, and it microfibre cloth, which first need to moisturize.

The following video material describes how to perform wet cleaning of this model:

Ie wet cleaning is not complete, so many hot spots do not get eliminated. Yet it provides an opportunity to collect residual dust, crumbs, which greatly improves the quality of the procedure.

In addition, one must understand that robots can not distinguish between types of pollution - it should instead do the owners. If this rule is ignored, then some had dropped on the floor a piece of cream is smeared robot around the room.

Like all robots of the initial class, Oriflame has a mediocre navigation system, so cleaning is performed not on the plan drawn up, and chaotic. As a result, the vacuum cleaner is no different economy

The advantages of this model

The most important is considered that the presented model, in spite of all the features and limitations of its class, capable of making a house cleaner. Moreover, replacing the hard manual labor.

robot functionality increases the decent equipment - the buyer will have at its disposal 2 interchangeable filter, 3 microfiber cloth, a double set of special brushes, to help clean up on a firm surface, corners. All of this may be enough, and for life.

Also noted for its simplicity, so the owner basically only have to clean the trash. But to do it very often, because it is a small (200 ml).

An important advantage of the vacuum cleaner is Oriflejm low noise during operation. It does not disturb the comfort when watching TV. Also, this procedure will not interfere with the person in the next room to rest.

robot supplied not the richest, but contains everything needed to perform efficient cleaning. And brooms, microfiber cloths supplied several sets, so it will be enough, if not forever, then for a long time guaranteed

An important advantage may be the cost. So, for all citizens, not related to the company Oriflame, it is set in an area of ​​7 thousand. rubles.

The man who became a participant of the system will be able to get a 20 percent discount. And the price could be even lower under certain conditions. If, however, the company will be invited 12 friends, the robot will get almost free.

Disadvantages Oriflame robot

The shipment contains no motion stops, and this, together with malointellektualnoy navigation system does not allow an individual to clean the contaminated area and not the entire room.

That is when you need to clean the place of feeding a pet a person will have to carry the robot to the desired location of the room.

And then hope that the navigation system selects the mode of movement of the spiral and wait until the task is complete, to carry the vacuum cleaner to the place of storage or charging.

At the same time, more advanced robot after corresponding programming can independently involved at the right time to come to their animal feed, it performs cleaning and go down to the charging base.

And all done without some human intervention, that is, against the background of this unit Oriflame is not quite up to its name and more like a elektrovenik.

In addition, often owners unhappy with the fact that they generally can not influence the course of cleaning, since it does not provide for any bodies, such as buttons, remote control. Therefore, around the need to rely on the robot, and it does not increase the effectiveness, efficiency.

Another major drawback is the height, it reaches 10 cm, and that today a lot. Since the said characteristic lowers, and significantly, the possibilities of the vacuum cleaner to perform cleaning under furniture.

This happens due to the fact that he often gets stuck and asks assist loud signals.

If someone thought that the photo robot owned by Oriflame, then he made a mistake - it was his counterpart from a reputable manufacturer Clever & Clean. They not only are virtually identical in appearance, but have the same performance and even the cost of

Observed problems with obstacles from a height of 5 mm. It identified and important design flaw in the form of loose and microfiber cloths, so often wet cleaning will not do the first time.

Information LEDs his constant blinking also cause a number of owners of small positive emotions.

The comparison with its closest competitors

Main competitors automated cleaner Oriflejm mark - is Clever & Clean 002 M and Kitfort KT-511. They are in the same price range with the model in question, so it is advisable to compare these units to each other.

Competitor # 1 - Clever & Clean 002 M

If we compare the photos of the product, sold under the brand Oriflame, and his counterpart, called Clever & Clean 002 M, then will be immediately revealed significant similarities. And said model is among the most in demand in the niche most inexpensive. It will therefore be interesting to compare the characteristics of its background.

And Oriflame robot virtually no losing its better known counterparts, and, possibly, the clone. That is, except for the appearance of their similar treatment quality, size, cleaning regimes, equipment and even the cost.

Clever & Clean Robot. He's with a vacuum cleaner from Oriflame same disadvantages, so the competitor is also difficult to cope with obstacles. It is also preferably used only on solid surfaces.

There is no competitor can be programmed. That, in fact, makes the 002, as well as Oriflame, automated vacuum cleaner, not a robot. And that each customer must be considered when choosing.

As the essential difference between these robots do not have, we can assume that Oriflame is one of the best models in its class. Especially considering the fact that it can cost several times cheaper than any of its competitors, provided the participation in the actions of the company.

Competitor # 2 - Kitfort KT-511

Another popular competitor considered robot from Oriflejm is Kitfort KT-511. It has practically such capacity as the model described above, but with one exception.

KT-511 more nimble moves and is able to easily cope with low obstacles, reach specified competitors. This significantly extends the functionality.

And Kitfort capable of half an hour to solve the same problem that the model, owned by Oriflame, in 50 minutes. In this case, human intervention is required in fewer cases

Another advantage is the low price, located within a modest 5 thousand. rubles.

Competitor # 3: iRobot Roomba 616

To charge the cleaner iRobot Roomba 616 require 3 hours, after which he will be able to operate continuously for 2 hours. When the charge is depleted, the robot independently return to the parking lot for a new portion of energy. Manual installation is not required.

For vacuum control and programming of the algorithm in the configuration it has a remote control. Unlike the above models have this pack XLife, this type is much better hold a charge.

Volume 0.5 L dust collector. To improve processing a floor in the corners and for collecting large particles of dirt side brush device is provided. As a safety means using a virtual wall and bumper of a soft cushioning material.

The best offers on the market

At its core, Oriflame is not a robot in every sense of the word, since human presence is necessary at all stages of treatment, that is, almost always. But he is able to maintain the cleanliness of the room, is reliable, moreover, the cost can be much more attractive than that of counterparts. All this indicates a well-deserved popularity of the robotic vacuum cleaner.
