I have been wanting to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner for nearly two years now and every time I have decided I am going to buy one I have talked myself out of it, my main concerns being would it clean properly, would it keep getting stuck, can it really clean and find its way back to the charge point on its own, is it going to be able to make its way round and clean all areas, is it just another gadget that in reality isn’t very practical. After wrestling with my reservations and spending a silly amount of time looking at different ones I decided bite the bullet and purchase the Diggro KK320.
It arrived in a branded lift top box all tightly packed and protected, I was surprised how heavy it was but also pleased as it seemed very robust and not the sort of flimsy device that would break easily. After unpacking it I had a read through the manual, the manual is clear and easy to follow and I removed all the plastic, rubber protection blocks and the dry mop attachment which just clips in over the power switch then put it on charge for 24 hours as recommended.
First impressions where it’s very quiet and quite nippy round the floor and I was surprised how well it navigated its way round the various objects around the rooms, the controller is nice and simple and uses two AAA batteries rather than those silly flat ones I can never find a replacement for. I have several areas that drop around an inch from wooden floor to kitchen and a couple of rugs in the bedrooms and it had no problem at all going up and down the step and on and off the rugs, it gets stuck now and again but so far has managed to find its way out again.
I tested all the modes and they work well with the edge mode hugging the edges round the room nice and tight, the automatic mode and random mode work as described, it always seems to manage to find its way back to the base charging unit either with the return button or when it runs low on power which was something I was concerned about before purchase I would keep finding it run out of power in the bedroom which hasn’t happened.
When I first got it I kept checking to see if it was picking up properly but now I just leave it to get on with the job as I am really pleased with the amount it has picked up every time I empty it, I have no doubt I will get the old vacuum out now and again to go under things it can’t get to. The detection works well and I ran it at the top of the stairs and it stops before the edge every time so it won’t be flinging itself down the stairs :)
Overall I am more than please with it and it certainly cleans properly, gets itself out when it gets stuck, cleans the edges really well and finds its way back to the charge point all the things that concerned me before purchase so it gets full marks and is a welcome addition to my home.
