HONITURE Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop Self Emptying, 3500pa

Best thing I bought in 2023
The robot cleans every day at 11pm when we go to bed. We have 3 dogs that live in the kitchen doesn’t bother them at all. I’ve not had to hoover up at all since buying this robot. Only had to mop a couple of times just to get a good deep clean. Would certainly recommend. Saves you time on choir’s you don’t like doing.

An excellent alternative
I bought this robotic vacuum cleaner (I noticed in the reviews that everyone calls it Robert but since the human cleaners I know are all women I call her Roberta) as an alternative, but not replacement to an upright cleaner. For this purpose, it is excellent. Now that my house has both been mapped, and I am confident she can be left to herself, I am quite happy to set her going from my iPad and continue working at my computer, knowing that all the carpets on my ground floor have been well cleaned. It is very thorough, you certainly know where Roberta has been. It won’t go up or downstairs, which means either reprogramming her for a second floor or, as I intend to do when finances allow, get a second one. It depends how big your house is I suppose. But I can’t end this review without saying how much fun I have had with Roberta. At first I thought she only had one topic of conversation (“I need recharging”), but I now know she has quite a range. Last week, she was shouting at the top of her voice “Remove Object”, “Remove Object”. When I went to see what the trouble was, I found the cat sitting on top of her yelling (I assume) “She won’t play with me! She won’t play with me!”. Which just shows that AI can be fun.

Best Robot Vacuum Cleane
This is my first purchase of a robot vacuum cleaner. After doing some research and reading many reviews decided to purchase Honiture Q6 Pro. So far I am very pleased with the hoover. The build quality is superior, and came very packaged. The instruction are simple to follow. You have to use the app which can be little tricky to link up specially with Alexa of you are intending to do so. However once setup the app is easy to use and have kids of options, scheduling, changing suction settings, and lot more. Haven’t used mopping as much but it’s a simple wet mop with no detergent. It has big wheels to go up over uneven floors etc. So far it has been exactly what I expected it to do. It is unexpectedly noisy when it empties the dirt to the main unit. But it’s only for few seconds. I am very delighted with the purchase and would happily recommend this to anyone.

Really good especially if you tend to be the only one cleaning the house!
This is my second robot cleaner. My previous one was quite cheap, didn’t have a mop function nor the ability to map the house as I was on a student budget! And with the same budget it stopped functioning properly after a year and a half and did a lacking job on carpets (we moved into a house where the living room is covered in the ugliest, oldest rug). I decided to give this a try after exhausting myself keeping on top of cleaning a house with 4 other people, as I like to maintain and tidy the house daily. I also really love gadgets and anything that makes life easier while looking cool. I was most drawn by the mapping feature as my previous one would randomly clean and miss spots. The mop is an extra feature I thought would be useful especially for the kitchen (the floor gets fed a lot of crumbs and other spills) and perhaps the corridor if I was feeling lazy.

It came in two boxes for protection, and was well packed and looked very high-end and sleek. Setting up was easy enough (if you have trouble connecting the robot to the app, I find restarting the router a fix especially with all the gadgets that require 2.5 mHz wifi – which btw nowadays comes together with the 5 mHz in the modern routers and automatically connects to the appropriate frequency) and you are supplied with all the appropriate tid bits, and extras for future use. The mop part isn’t initially connected to the dusk box; you’ll have to fill the water compartment first and attach it after. It’s suggested you keep all boxes until the Amazon return period ends in case there is anything wrong with the delivery or any of the parts themselves, and even still I would at least keep the product box somewhere in storage.

On first use the robot hoover will go around the house and familiarise itself with all the rooms. I found it a bit louder than my old robot but that one also had less suction power; the Q6 pro has suction options you can choose from on the app, but otherwise it automatically recognises when it runs on rugs and carpets. I also have a very scaredy kitten who jumped at the noise first but got used to it and just observed it after a minute. After finishing its cleaning round, it announces (yes the robot speaks!) that it will go back to the dock to charge. The emptying of the dust box into the dock sounds like an airplane taking off which I found quite funny, but it only takes it about 5 seconds. There is a dust bag inside the dock, which isn’t even a quarter full after 10 or so days of cleaning (but of course that would depend on how much it has to clean up).

The app itself is ok to use, I didn’t find it particularly intuitive but it neither needs a PhD to get used to it. After fiddling around with the app, you can find options to merge rooms (for some reason it thought my hallway was divided into two) and rename them for your convenience.

I tried the mopping feature today before writing this review, filled up the water tank half full and attached the cloth under the dust box. The robot will recognise when you do so. In the app there is an option to select which rooms you would like to clean and mop only, so if you have certains rooms covered in carpet then it is very useful. Though I have noticed it still tries to go over some rugs, like the front door mat, it seems to find it difficult to get on with the little mop rug but once it did I couldn’t feel it getting wet, so I’m not sure how the water compartment works (I saw a small tube and heard a spray-like sound when it got ready to mop so maybe it has to spray the mop wet rather than wetting it fully and dragging it around). Like another reviewer mentioned I would also definitely take off the wet cloth once it’s finished doing its round in case it touches your wooden floors or rugs.

After 10 days of using it I would say the robot and the dock have no obvious flaws; despite having only one brush on the left it does a fantastic job of picking up everything from the corners, even from my old carpet. What the robot does is run along the corners of the rooms first, then follows it with a ‘zigzag’ pattern across the room. Leave it be and it will do it’s job of maintaining your house floors while you are at work or relaxing with your feet up.

Any issues I have are with the app; I think they could do with a few updates as a suggestion:

1) There are a few typos as pointed out by other reviewers though I agree that it’s probably because they’ve been translated from the original Chinese. Renaming some terms too, for example “Timer” can be changed to “Schedule” as it’s easier to recognise.
2) An easier way to redraw/re-map rooms.
3) When mopping in rooms with rugs, if this isn’t already implemented (I have not noticed this), then use the sensors to stop going over rugs when in mopping mode. Since the robot knows when it gets on rugs and carpets (as changes its suction power), perhaps an update could be rolled out to avoid rugs and carpets when mopping.
4) Make the “no mop” areas easier to select. I had to resize and drag the small squares and rectangles over the living room as it has carpet. I think selecting the entire zone/room to be a no-mop area would be easier. (Though as I manually have to attach the mop cloth, on the app I just selected which zones I wanted to be cleaned). EDIT: I think I have found the option to set each room to the desired mop setting; in partition editing > custom mode > select the room to set suction force and mop wetness (which has a “dry” option too)!!
5) An Amazon Alexa skill be implemented as I found connecting the robot to Alexa a bit tedious so I gave up. It’s not a massive issue though at it just takes a finger press on the robot to get it to start cleaning, or if you are away you could do it through the app (I have no tested this yet).

Otherwise I am very happy with this purchase, it’s a bit of an investment but for someone like me for whom a clean house means no mental stress and less bickering with family, it’s a good companion to have.

And make sure to register for the 2 year warranty! I will come back for an updated review in a few months as follow up customer service is very important to me in case anything goes wrong!

Great home cleaning robo
We recently welcomed a new member to our household cleaning that has revolutionized the way we approach cleaning. As someone who values a clean and tidy living space but also understands the demands of a busy life, this robot has been an absolute game-changer as it can pretty much do things on its own once powered on.
One of the standout features of this robot is its ability to adapt to different surfaces and obstacles. From hardwood to tile to carpets, it navigates seamlessly between them, adjusting its cleaning method accordingly. The sensors strategically placed on the robot prevent collisions with furniture and objects, ensuring both effective cleaning and the safety of my belongings.
With smart mapping and navigation systems, it creates a virtual map of the space it’s cleaning, ensuring no area is left untouched. Additionally, the robot’s connectivity to my smartphone allows me to schedule cleaning sessions remotely, giving me complete control of things.
Its efficient operation, adaptability, advanced technology, effective cleaning process, and low maintenance make it an exceptional addition to any home. If you’re looking to reclaim your time while maintaining a pristine living environment, investing in this robot is an absolute no-brainer.

Exceeded my expectations
I have has the Q6 Pro for 3 days now so here are my initial thoughts and observations.

Packaging – The unit was very well packaged and gave the impression that it was a quality product rather than something cheaper. A very small point but one I noticed was the plastic bags the various components were packed in looked and felt much better than the usual polythene bags one normally gets. Like I say, a small point but it gave an immediate impression of quality.

Instruction Manual – It is good to have a detailed physical manual rather than having to rely on downloading a pdf. Well done. However I noticed some of minor translation errors in the English text. There are also terms that are not used in everyday English. I am guessing that the translation from the original language (Chinese?) was done by a non-native speaker. Although I was able to understand what was being written it could do with some updating.

The control APP – I was able to scan the QR code in the instruction booklet to download and install the HonySmart App on my iPhone and iPad without and trouble. Connecting to my home wifi was simple and worked without any problems. I initially missed the second QR code for the APP instructions so relied on trying the various functions to see what they did! Now I have seen the manual I understand better. Again there are some translation errors but I’m sure these will be sorted out in future updates.

Room editing – I found the function to split rooms somewhat difficult to use. When trying to use the line to split a room it often extends well beyond the room I am editing and splits adjacent rooms as well. Despite this I was able to edit the map to my liking. Again, I’m sure this will be improved with an update.

Actual Operation of the robot – Here all I have is praise. My first attempt was to turn it on and see what happened. My house has a number of rooms and is fairly complicated and I was amazed to watch the robot build an accurate map of the whole area and clean it. The algorithm developed to do this is first class and my congratulations to the engineers. Once the map had generated I tried cleaning separate rooms and the robot did this flawlessly. The first time I used it there was a slight problem with the onboard dust collector not being emptied properly but that was because I have a dog and there was a lot of hair causing it to block. It was easy enough to empty by hand and subsequent passes were perfect. Overall cleaning is good.

I am yet to try the mop on my laminate floor in the kitchen.

Would I recommend the unit? Yes, without hesitation. It way exceeded my expectations, never having had a robot cleaner before. Cleaning the house is now a pleasure rather than a chore. All we need now is an update allowing it to climb stairs!!

Update:
I have now been using this cleaner for some months and it continues to work wonderfully. Even when Ii move the base unit to a different location the cleaner finds it without a problem. Definitely a good buy.
