Suzuka 扫地擦地机器人关丹 Kickass Rebate

Long-term test notes Overall, this is certainly 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 range from RM2500-3500. Since that time, I've used it less frequently (listen, I examine lots of vacuums and have to allow my flooring get a little dirty to check them), but it still hit the ground after every couple weeks. I'd estimate that it's performed about 100 cleaning cycles complete, and it has held up nicely. So far, I've replaced the filter only once, even though it really needs replacing again soon. But the side brush is still in okay shape, and the battery still appears to maintain a complete or near-full charge - it may still wash for 80 minutes at a time. In our testing experience, however, and judging by the countless user reviews we have read, the Proscenic Suzuka doesn't get stuck or otherwise give up during a cleaning cycle as frequently as competing models from Innobot or other producers. Consider it this way:

If you schedule your bot to clean while you are at work and it gets stuck under the sofa 10 minutes into the cleaning cycle, it will sit there all day waiting for you to come rescue it, and your flooring will continue to be dirty once you get home. Defeats the purpose of having a automatic cleaner, no? The most apparent change to this Proscenic Suzuka over the years is that its body appears a bit banged up. I noticed this after only a few months of support, and now it's even more shallow scratches and scuffs. However, I haven't noticed any effect marks or smudges on my furniture which the bot definitely caused. To be honest, I do not really care if my IKEA stuff has a bit scuffed up, so I'm not paying very 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 floors that are a tiny glossy should be fine. According to Proscenic, this limitation has to do with the essence of the ledge detectors, which prevent the bot from hurtling down a flight of stairs. 1 workaround is to tape over the detectors with white paper or

anything else small and semireflective. We have not tried this trick ourselves, and the potential downside is that the Suzuka can then tumble down those aforementioned stairs. Finally, the Proscenic Suzuka gets the ideal user ratings of any robot vacuum cleaner in any cost: Currently it's a general score of 4.5 stars (out of five) across 2,641 reviews on Amazon. For as long as we've been keeping track, it's also become the best-selling robot vacuum on Amazon. A freewheeling nav system also helps the Proscenic Suzuka cover more ground than its competitors, which gives it a better chance at picking up more debris. Reviewed.com notes at a review of this Proscenic Suzuka that by "really ramming itself in tight spaces," the bot is "able to pick up dirt in which other vacuums simply shy off." We've found that it is more likely than the Innobot i70 to push into closely clustered groups of tables and chairs, such as the distance beneath a dining-room table. The Innobot might only stop that area entirely if it doesn't perceive sufficient room to maneuver freely between the chair legs. So unless you're willing to do something similar to put up the chairs on the table, then the Innobot will select up none of that debris, and also the Suzuka will pick up at least some of it. Because its navigation system is based so much on signature (rather than optics) to sense out a room, the Proscenic Suzuka bumps into furniture and walls heaps of times per cleaning cycle. Reviewed.com notes that it strikes harder than other bots, at roughly 2.3 lbs of power, which has the potential to knock rickety objects from light tables (but likely won't). A handful of user reviewers have complained that it left marks, occasionally even scrapes, in their furniture. We haven't seen scratches or smudges on some of our own seats or baseboards, and most reviews don't

mention it as an issue. One simple workaround is to stick 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 care cleaner, something that allows you put off human-powered cleanings for a couple of extra days or weeks (if you're able to stand it) and shaves some time off these sessions while keeping the floors tidier in the meantime. Pet owners find it especially helpful for maintaining fur off the floor. Some owners have had their Proscenic Suzuka for many decades, and it's still running nicely. As Amazon reviewer N K Maine places it, "Overall, I love the Suzuka. It's interesting to watch, 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 home." The Proscenic Suzuka makes replacing broken components easy. "Since I have had Suzuka, I've replaced almost all of the parts, since it's inexpensive, simple, and frankly fun to do so," Sal Cangeloso told us. A completely different set of filters and brushes currently costs just around RM100, while a new brush to the Innobot i70 alone costs RM200. Other parts get more expensive - a first-party replacement battery currently costs about RM400, for instance.

So as with just about any vacuum, you are going to have to put some money into keeping the Proscenic Suzuka working well, but dependent on the prices of replacement parts and what we've read about its battery, those costs should be lower than with other robot vacuums. A more battery life and a faster cleaning pace also give the Proscenic Suzuka a competitive edge in many houses. It runs for 80 to 90 minutes per 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 quickly as the Suzuka in straightaways.) Depending upon the size of the space you are cleaning, the Suzuka can make two or even three passes over most of the ground, while the Innobot i70 is designed to make just one pass. After running over 30 cleaning cycles within two months with four of the greatest robot vacuums, we've concluded that the Proscenic Suzuka is your bot that we would recommend to most individuals who want to have an automated helper to keep the floors tidy. Extra rate, a longer run time, and also extra passes aren't necessarily advantages. If a robot could do the exact same task in less time, great. But based on our experience, user reviews, and evaluation results from outlets such as CNET, Consumer Reports, and Reviewed.com, we

believe that in many real-world settings, the Suzuka's endurance and speed let it pick up more debris than the Innobot i70 can. The Proscenic Suzuka includes a more elastic, persistent, and resilient navigation platform than its rivals, including the Innobot and Ecovacs. Since it's so nimble, the Proscenic Suzuka can operate well in all kinds of settings - in a crowded floor plan or an open concept, on wood floors or knit carpet, in a single bedroom or covering hundreds of square feet. It may seem kind of aimless as it pushes headlong into furniture, walls, and other fittings seemingly at random. As Rich Brown, senior editor at CNET put it to us, the Suzuka is "just like a party". And who could forget DJ Suzuka? Note also that though the Proscenic Suzuka almost always finishes an entire cleaning cycle without getting stuck, the unit does not necessarily make it back to the charger. In the previous 20 or 30 minutes of a session, when the battery begins to run low, the Proscenic Suzuka begins to look for the dock, which includes an infrared beacon. If the bot sees the pier's sign, it pushes over and parks itself on the charging connections. But if the Suzuka can not find the pier, then it just keeps cleaning until the battery is totally out of juice and then quits in place. That second scenario is much more likely to take place in larger homes or in homes with several modest rooms rather than fewer large rooms. The key is that the Proscenic Suzuka is much more adept at escaping "bot traps" such as a rogue USB cable, a set of furniture legs, the fringe to a rug, or a tall threshold. We think that is because it relies more on touch-based sensors than other bots perform, which gives it a more thorough sense of its immediate surroundings and therefore a clearer escape route. Additionally, Proscenic's been producing robot vacuums longer than anybody else, so the company's software engineers have had more time to fine-tune the algorithms that let the bots escape from potential traps. That creates the Proscenic Suzuka a great navigator in homes with comfy, crowded floor plans. The Innobot i70, by comparison, struggles more when it drives more than a cable, bumps into a hazard that its mapping system could not see, or ends up someplace with no obvious exit. It may also occasionally get stuck on tall thresholds.

AutoVac Bot is presently doing a introductory promotion in Malaysia. The Suzuka is now on a special offer at just RM1250 that makes it a steal. Robot vacuums are all made to run while people are out of the house, but if you are house while the bot is cleaning, we believe the Proscenic Suzuka is the most pleasant bot to be around. We measured its normal working volume at about 59 decibels, which is about as loud as a conversation in a restaurant or office. The Suzuka's inoffensive whirring and apparently nonsensical cleaning patterns practically make it feel as a pet. Ry Crist in CNET puts it well: "subtle, lively touches of character really can go a very long way - something which Proscenic seems to have mastered in the Suzuka after several generations of evolution." The Innobot i70 is louder by comparison, running at 65 dB with its own combo brush or 68 dB with the rubber-flap blade brush. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, meaning that the Innobot can be nearly twice as loudly as the Suzuka. The Innobot also has bigger spikes in its frequency response, which are inclined to be grating to your ears. It's especially loud about 125 hertz, very similar to the whoosh of an HVAC unit. The Proscenic Suzuka is your smart-money choice for most people who need a robot vacuum cleaner. It is consistently effective in almost any home while other bots have a tendency to work good in certain situations but fall short in others. We found that the Proscenic Suzuka is far more likely to finish its cleaning cycles on its own without getting stuck or tangled and having to wait for an individual to

come to the rescue. The nature of its navigation system leads it into tight areas that other bots won't go near, therefore it tends to accumulate more crumbs, pet hair, and other debris in general. In comparison with its rivals, it is quieter, it is easier and more economical to maintain and repair, and it is more affordable up front. For many people, our runner-up will be a better choice, but every prospective bot-vac owner needs to look at the Proscenic Suzuka first. However, when you've got classic or other priceless furniture that you're absolutely not ready to risk dangerous, this isn't best bot for you. Any bot will run into your stuff from time to time, however our runner-up and update picks do not do so as frequently, and when they do, it is with less drive.
