Maximize Your Suzuka 马来西亚

Long-term test notes Overall, this is definitely the best budget robotic vacuum cleaner ever. It is much cheaper compared to Innobot i70 and Ecovacs, which the top of the line models cost include RM2500-3500. Ever since that time, I've used it less often (listen, I review a lot of vacuums and need to let my floor get a little dirty to test them), but it still hit the floor once every couple weeks. I'd estimate that it's done about 100 cleaning cycles total, and it's held up well. So far, I've replaced the filter just once, though it really needs replacing back soon. However, the side brush remains in fine shape, and the battery still appears to hold a complete or near-full charge - it may still wash for 80 minutes at one time. In our testing experience, though, and judging from the countless user reviews we have read, the Proscenic Suzuka does not get stuck or otherwise give up through a cleaning cycle as frequently as competing versions from Innobot or other producers. Consider it this way: If you schedule your bot to clean while you are at work and it has stuck under the sofa 10 minutes to the cleaning cycle, it is going to sit there all day waiting for you to come rescue it, and your floors will continue to be dirty when you get home.

Defeats the purpose of getting a automatic cleaner, no? The most obvious change to this Proscenic Suzuka over time is that its body appears somewhat banged up. I discovered this after only a few months of service, and now it has even more shallow scrapes and scuffs. However, I have not noticed any effect marks or smudges on my furniture that the bot definitely caused. To be fair, I don't really care when my IKEA material gets a bit scuffed up, so I'm not paying really close attention, nor does it bother me that the bot itself looks like it has been busy. The Proscenic Suzuka doesn't really work on nonreflective black or very dark brown flooring. Black or dark flooring that are a little glossy should be fine. In accordance with Proscenic, this limitation has to do with the essence of the ledge sensors, which prevent the bot from hurtling down a flight of stairs. 1 workaround would be to tape over the sensors with white paper or anything else small and semireflective. We haven't tried this trick ourselves, and the potential drawback is that the Suzuka can then fall down those above stairs. At length, the Proscenic Suzuka gets the best user ratings of any robot vacuum at any cost: Currently it has a general rating of 4.5 stars (out of five) across 2,641 reviews on Amazon. As long as we've been keeping track, it's also been the best-selling robot vacuum cleaner on Amazon. A freewheeling nav system also helps the Proscenic Suzuka cover more ground than its competitors, which gives it a much better chance at picking up more debris. Reviewed.com notes at a review of the Proscenic Suzuka that by "really ramming itself in tight spaces," the bot is "able to pick up dirt in which other vacuums only shy off." We have discovered that it's more likely compared to Innobot i70 to push into tightly clustered groups of tables and chairs, like the space beneath a dining-room table. The Innobot might only stop that region entirely if it doesn't

perceive sufficient room to move freely between the chair legs. So unless you are prepared to do something like put the chairs up on the table, then the Innobot will select up none of the debris, and the Suzuka will pick up at least some of it. Because its navigation system relies so much on touch (instead of optics) to feel out a space, the Proscenic Suzuka bumps into furniture and walls heaps of occasions per cleaning cycle. Reviewed.com notes that it hits harder than other bots, at about 2.3 pounds of force, which has the potential to knock rickety objects from mild tables (but likely won't). A small number of consumer reviewers have complained that it abandoned marks, occasionally even scrapes, on their furniture. We haven't seen scratches or smudges on some of our own chairs or baseboards, and many reviews don't mention it as an issue. One easy workaround would be to stick just a tiny strip of foam rubber onto the bumper. Flaws although not dealbreakers The majority of the positive consumer reviews seem to recognize that the Proscenic Suzuka is a maintenance cleaner, something that lets you place off human-powered cleanings for a couple of additional days or weeks (if you're able to stand it) and shaves off some time these sessions while keeping the floors tidier in the meantime. Pet owners find it especially beneficial for keeping fur off the floor. Some owners have experienced their Proscenic Suzuka for several decades, and it's still running well. As Amazon reviewer N K Maine places it, "Overall, I love the Suzuka. It is interesting to see, great to help out around the house to wash for us and really saves us time so that we can have one less thing to do if it comes to cleaning up the house." The Proscenic Suzuka makes replacing broken components simple. "Since I have had Suzuka, I have replaced almost all of the components, since it's inexpensive, simple, and frankly fun to do so," Sal Cangeloso advised me. A whole new set of brushes and filters now costs only around RM100, while a new brush to the Innobot i70 alone prices RM200. Other parts get more expensive - a first-party replacement battery currently costs about RM400, for example.

So as with almost any vacuum, you are going to need to put some money into maintaining the Proscenic Suzuka running well, but based on the costs of replacement components and what we've read about its own battery, those prices should be lower than with other robot vacuums. A more battery life and a faster cleaning pace also give the Proscenic Suzuka a competitive advantage in many houses. It runs on 80 to 90 minutes each cycle, whereas the Innobot i70 squeezes out about 60 minutes and also moves at roughly half the speed of the Suzuka while it's turning or cleaning the edges of a room. (It goes about as fast as the Suzuka in straightaways.) Depending on the size of the space you are cleaning, the Suzuka can make two or even three passes over most of the ground, whereas the Innobot i70 is designed to make just one pass. After running more than 30 cleaning cycles within 2 months with four of the top robot vacuums, we've concluded that the Proscenic Suzuka is your bot that we would recommend to most people who want an automatic helper to maintain the floors tidy. Extra rate, a longer run time, and extra passes aren't necessarily advantages. If a robot can perform the same task in less time, great. But based on our experience, consumer reviews, and evaluation results from outlets like CNET, Consumer Reports, and Reviewed.com, we believe that in many real-world configurations, the Suzuka's speed and persistence allow it to pick up more debris than the Innobot i70 can. The Proscenic Suzuka includes a more adaptive, persistent, and resilient navigation platform than its competitors, such as the Innobot and Ecovacs. As it's so nimble, the Proscenic Suzuka can work well in all types of settings - in a crowded floor plan or an open idea, on wood floors or knit carpet, in a single bedroom or covering hundreds of square foot. It might seem kind of aimless since it pushes headlong into walls, furniture, and other fixtures apparently randomly. As Rich Brown, senior editor at CNET place it to us, the Suzuka is "just like a celebration". And who could forget DJ Suzuka? Note also that though the Proscenic Suzuka almost always completes an entire cleaning cycle without becoming stuck, the device doesn't always make it back to the charger. In the previous 20 or 30 minutes of a session, once the battery begins to run low, the Proscenic Suzuka begins to look for the dock, which has an infrared beacon. If the bot sees the pier's sign, it drives over and parks itself on the charging connections. But if the Suzuka can not locate the pier, then it just keeps cleaning till the battery is totally out of juice and then quits in place. That second scenario is much more likely to take place in larger houses or in homes with various small rooms as opposed to fewer large rooms. The key is that the Proscenic Suzuka is more adept at escaping "bot traps" like a rogue USB cable, a maze of furniture legs, the fringe to a carpet, or a tall brink. We believe that is because it relies more on touch-based sensors than other bots perform, which gives it a much more thorough awareness of its immediate surroundings and therefore a clearer escape path. Additionally, Proscenic's been making robot vacuums more than anybody else, or so the company's software engineers have had more time to fine-tune the algorithms which let the robots escape from possible traps. This creates the Proscenic Suzuka a great navigator in homes with cozy, crowded floor programs. The Innobot i70, in contrast, struggles more when it drives more than a cable, lumps to a hazard that its own mapping system could not see, or ends up somewhere with no apparent departure. It may also sometimes get stuck on tall thresholds.

AutoVac Bot is currently performing a introductory advertising in Malaysia. The Suzuka is currently on a special offer at just RM1250 that makes it a steal. Robot vacuums are all designed to run while people are out of the house, but if you're home while your bot is cleaning, we think the Proscenic Suzuka is the most enjoyable bot to be about. We measured its typical working volume at about 59 decibels, which is about as loud as a conversation at a restaurant or office. The Suzuka's inoffensive whirring and seemingly nonsensical cleaning patterns almost make it feel like a pet. Ry Crist at CNET puts it well: "subtle, lively touches of personality can really go a very long way - something which Proscenic seems to have mastered at the Suzuka after a few generations of evolution." The Innobot i70 is louder by comparison, running at 65 dB using its own combo brush or 68 dB with the rubber-flap knife brush. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, meaning that the Innobot can be almost two times as loud as the Suzuka. The Innobot also has larger spikes in its

frequency response, which are inclined to be grating to your own ears. It's especially loud about 125 hertz, similar to the whoosh of an HVAC unit. The Proscenic Suzuka is the smart-money pick for most people who want a robot vacuum cleaner. It is consistently effective in almost any home while others tend to work great in some situations but fall short in others. We found that the Proscenic Suzuka is far more likely to complete its cleaning cycles on its own without getting stuck or tangled and having to wait around for a human to come to the rescue. The character of its navigation system leads it into tight areas that other bots will not go close, so it has a tendency to collect more crumbs, pet hair, and other debris overall. In comparison with its rivals, it's quieter, it's easier and cheaper to maintain and fix, and it is less expensive up front. For many people, our runner-up is going to be a better choice, but every prospective bot-vac proprietor needs to look at the Proscenic Suzuka first. But when you have classic or other priceless furniture that you're absolutely not ready to risk dangerous, this isn't best bot for you. Any bot will encounter your stuff sometimes, but our runner-up and upgrade picks don't do so as frequently, and if they do, it is with less drive.
