Hello
I'm HA:D, who's always serious about cleaning
Today, for those who are as dedicated to cleaning as I am
(Robot cleaner recommendation!) I've brought a pretty decent robot vacuum cleaner
It’s a budget-friendly robot vacuum, which is hard to find
I wondered if it could compete on price alone
but it turned out to have cleaning performance that doesn't fall behind
It's a budget-friendly model, but I’m sure there are people looking for such a robot vacuum
Let me introduce the product right away
This is the Midea V12 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop
There are many brands of robot vacuums these days
and Midea is a home appliance specialist brand
The key difference is its value for money
So, if you look at their official website
you’ll see that their overall price range is very reasonable
Among them, the V12 I’m introducing today
can be purchased for the high 700,000 KRW ($500) range!
Most robot vacuums usually cost over 1 million KRW ($715)
but the V12 is reasonably priced while having all the essentials
I used it daily for the review
and tested its cleaning performance
(So good, but why at this price...?) It cleans so well that I can't help but wonder
why this is being sold at such a steal
The V12 is a vacuum cleaner that can both mop and suction clean
For those who want more thorough
and systematic cleaning
you can customize cleaning modes using the dedicated app
There’s the most familiar mode of vacuuming first and then mopping
as well as modes to do either vacuuming or mopping separately
A simultaneous vacuum and mop mode for one-step cleaning
Plus, after mapping, you can control almost all the features you’d expect from a robot vacuum
Like setting specific zones, no-go zones
spot cleaning, multi-mapping, and even a child lock
The app ran smoothly without lag or delay
and it was more intuitive than expected, making it user-friendly even for parents
Moreover, if you have Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa
you can use them for voice control!
Looking at the cleaning specs
the suction power is 5,000 Pa
and the mopping function has 7N pressure
and 200 RPM rotation speed
It can handle everyday debris and stains without trouble
so I personally think these specs are excellent for the price range
To show you, common debris like hair or snack crumbs you might find at home
(Cleaning with strong suction power) can be picked up quickly with just a few passes
(Mop cleaning to prevent secondary contamination) The mopping feature also cleaned regular stains effectively
While using the V12 for some time
there’s one particular strength I’d like to emphasize
It’s the automatic mop washing and drying function
Mop maintenance can be quite tricky...
There are times when the results of washing and drying are disappointing
Actually, I didn't expect too much, but it did better than I expected!
When I introduced the vacuum cleaner, I always emphasized
the hygiene of the wet mop
If you don't wash the wet mop and dry it properly
the smell spreads all over the house
so you have to take care of it very carefully
The drying process is especially important
V12 dries the wet mop with 55degree heat
It takes about 2 hours and there's a bit of noise
Still, if you check it out after drying, it dries well enough to leave little water!
So it doesn't smell, and you don't have to worry about cleaning it again with a less dry mop
But you might feel that it lacks strength, right?
The strength of the V12 that will complement this is
the station drying function
Following automatic cleaning and drying of the wet mop, the station can be automatically managed
It's a three-dimensional air circulation method
As air circulates, it dries the piping and water bottle inside the station at the same time
So there is no fear of odor or germs
Also, because you can't check the inside of the station one by one
I think this function is more reassuring
There are rare products that can automatically clean, dry,
and manage stations from this price range
I think those who didn't expect this performance will also be satisfied!
And I'll also look at the important sensors in the robot vacuum
(LDS sensors that map quickly and accurately) It’s equipped with an LDS sensor for smart mapping and pathfinding
and an AI dual-view sensor that can recognize up to 55 types of obstacles
A very small and low hurdle can be hard
It's good at avoiding common books and dolls
Next, I'll take a closer look at the station as well
There are control buttons on the top, and if you open the cover, you’ll find the dirty and clean water tank inside
And the front cover has a dust bag
This plays a pretty important role in robot vacuum cleaners
The bigger the dustbag, the better
This is 3L and can be used for up to 75 days, about two months without emptying it
In addition, the station is about 41.2cm wide and about 38.1cm long
And about 56.6cm high
The design was so neat that it was not difficult to place it because it looked good wherever it was placed
And the vacuum cleaner is also characterized by
a round square shape rather than a complete circle
So it's easier to use when it's going around corners or cleaning corners
The color I chose is black
Most of the robot vacuum cleaners are white
So I think the black ones look rather unique
Of course, the white color is clean
But I think the black color's unique sophisticated vibe is well emphasized
V12 has black and white colors
so you can choose what you want
As someone serious about cleaning, I’ve introduced the budget-friendly robot vacuum
The Media V12, what do you think?
Of course, the absence of water mop auto lifting function or
automatic water filling function is a bummer
But the core functions that are necessary is included
which is why I was mostly satisfied with it
For those who want to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner but are afraid of regretting it
I'd definitely recommend it for introductory customers!
Also, for those who don't need high-end robotic vacuum cleaners
but wants an adequate elegant vibe
and high maintenance robotic vacuum cleaner, I'd recommend it as well
The brand itself might be unfamiliar
but it provides free on-site repairs for two years
It would be nice to start with a feel with ease!
I'll be back in the next video
