Second Chance Philips HomeRun 9000 Series XU9100/10

I was allowed to test this device. I am always looking for ways to make housework easier. It is just not my hobby ;) But since I am a childminder and also have a long-haired dog, it is important that the house is vacuumed and mopped every day. And this is really a device that can save a lot of time. It neatly goes through the entire room and can also be followed via the app. Unfortunately, you do not receive a notification on the app if it unexpectedly stops somewhere, that would be convenient, but okay. The station is large, but I have no problem with that. Setting it up via the app went very quickly. You can set how hard you want it to vacuum and how wet it should mop. So that is great. The sound is fine. I just still don't understand why it sometimes (not often) suddenly stops in a place. If you are looking for a device to make things a bit easier for yourself, this is definitely recommended.

I've had this robot vacuum cleaner in my house for a few weeks now, and it really surprised me! The device does almost all the maintenance itself, which is super handy. I found the app to be a big plus: very clear and easy to use. You can quickly set exactly how and where it should clean via the app. And it does that very well, especially in the corners that a normal vacuum cleaner can't reach as well. Highly recommended if you're looking for convenience and efficiency in one!

I was allowed to test this robot vacuum cleaner. I can definitely recommend it for its independence. Once you have filled the water reservoir, the vacuum cleaner can do its job completely independently for up to a month (when used 1-2 times a week), without you having to look at it. It can clean a room of about 40 m² in about an hour. After about 30 m2 it goes back to its dock to rinse the mop clean. After cleaning, the mop is blown dry in about two hours. This drying process makes little noise, comparable to an extractor hood on the lowest setting. It can therefore be useful to turn on the robot when you are away from home for optimum convenience.
The vacuum cleaner comes with clear instructions and clear documentation, so you can quickly set it up and use it. The app works via the Tuya Smartlife platform, which makes it easy to integrate into a smart home system. A small side note here is that the vacuum cleaner has a camera that communicates with a server in China; it is therefore advisable to connect it to a separate (guest) network.
In terms of navigation, this robot works on the basis of cameras and proximity sensors. Although this is sometimes less precise than using Lidar (as with some other models with a small sensor on top), it still finds its way well and adapts to different rooms. The vacuum cleaner has a rotating mop, which ensures a really active cleaning session. This works well on wooden and hard floors; unfortunately I have no experience with carpet.
All in all, this is a great choice for those looking for a standalone robot vacuum cleaner. It has a few small limitations, but overall it delivers excellent performance and makes cleaning a lot easier!
