A robot that does everything by itself or a floor cleaner that allows you to collect liquid and dry dirt and wash in a single pass? It’s a question that more and more people are asking themselves. But navigating an increasingly smart and varied sector may not be immediate. And with Black Friday (and Christmas) just around the corner, there are many tempting offers.
Of course, an all-in-one robot – like the ones we already told you about in the first episode of our special dedicated to Black Friday – automates all the processes, even (or almost) the maintenance of the device. But these are bulky products that may not convince everyone. Or they are not suitable for those who need to wash often and quickly, perhaps because they have children or animals at home, or simply prefer to do the cleaning themselves. Here are two other solutions among those we have tested in recent months. It’s both Roborockone of the leading companies in the sector, which on its store and its Amazon page anticipate the promotions of the most discounted Friday of the year (all the offers here).
Roborock Q7 L5+ Set: Automated cleaning with automatic emptying
Let’s start from Q7 L5+ Sepa practical and compact robot vacuum cleaner with washing kit. With 8,000 Pa HyperForce power and a RockDock Plus automatic emptying system, dust on the floors will be just a memory. The robot – equipped like other products from the company with an anti-tangle brush and JawScrapers comb – moves autonomously around the house and, when necessary or at the end of cleaning, returns to the charging base to empty the tank. So for two and a half months it will not be necessary to change the bag.
Thanks to the LiDar turret less than 10 cm high, in our tests the mapping and navigation were always precise and the robot never got stuck. Not even the rubber mat in the bedroom has ever been a problem since the anti-scratch wheels allow it to overcome small thresholds of up to 2 cm. The washing in this case is not automatic, but in the package we find a kit with a mop and a water tank to attach to the device. As with its older brothers, the Roborock app also in Italian guided us in configuring the basic settings and programming cleaning, allowing us to select the level of suction or water to be released on the floor.
Until December 1st the Q7 L5+ is on promotion in its Set version (which includes three additional dust bags) at 199.99 eurosalmost half compared to the recommended retail price.
Roborock F25 GT: the versatile wet&dry broom for every need
For those who prefer to control where and how to clean, among the offers we find the F25 GTa wet&dry broom capable of vacuuming the floor with a power of 20,000 Pa and at the same time washing it with a roller that reaches up to the edges and moves at 450 revolutions per minute. A constant pressure scraper limits streaks and the anti-tangle design prevents the formation of those annoying piles of hair and dirt that can affect cleaning itself. Light and easy to handle, it reaches well into corners and even under furniture up to 12.cm high since it can be flattened to 180°. The traction is powerful, the controls on the handle are intuitive and allow you to choose between three programs (eco, auto and turbo) and whether or not to exclude washing. This makes it truly suitable for all needs.
But the real added value is the charging base. Simply place the broom down, press a button and activate the high-temperature self-cleaning at 90°.
All we have to do is empty the tank (with an innovative design that separates the dirty water from the dry residue) and rinse it with the convenient brush included in the package.
The F25 GT wet&dry broom is on offer, again until December 1st, at 199 euros100 less than the full price. One of the best solutions for quality-price ratio.
