Alfawise V8S PRO E30B Robot Vacuum Cleaner Smart Mopping Voice Control Supports Google Home Amazon Alexa

Living alone, I'd been toying with the idea of getting one of these robot vacuums for some time... work would leave me exhausted by the end of the day and when the weekend finally arrived, the last thing I felt like doing was housekeeping. My folks had recently bought a home alarm system through Alfawise (on Gearbest) and I was quite impressed with the quality, so when I saw this unit going on Flash Sale for 32% off (coupled with a $10 coupon I found online), I finally gave in and bought it. Very impressed so far! Pros: Cleans more than I thought - I ran it for about 30 minutes and the bin was absolutely full! That doesn't say much about my housekeeping skills, but it does mean that this thing works! Connectivity - Using data or a wifi signal from anywhere, I can call up my vacuum, turn it on, activate a particular mode and change the cleaning power. What's also great is the "Show Map" feature, which lets you see the progress of the vacuum and also if there are any problem areas Value for Money - This normally retails for ~$250, which means it's a bargain at full price (seriously, with 1800Pa suction power, other units are often twice the price). Considering I got it at a Flash Sale and with a coupon, I paid $159.99 Mopping - Actually does a better job than I thought it would Auto-Recharge - I realize this is quite a common feature amongst robot vacuums, but it's still very cool and a massive plus for me Cons: Furniture - In order to maximize it's potential, you may need to spend some time placing furniture out of the way so that it doesn't cause chaos for the vacuum. I have some bar stools that I put up on the counter and it turns a very crowded space into a much easier environment. That said, I have to move furniture when I vacuum normally too, so it's not really a con Rugs - I have some throw rugs and a few of them are quite light. The problem is when the vacuum goes over the corner of one of these rugs and gets it wrapped around its roller brush. On the two occasions this did happen, it sorted itself out pretty quickly, but I've taken to picking up the throw rugs before running the machine now

Pros: - excellent value per quality of products. - Dry cleaning is good (have 3 mods: low, mid, high) and collects a lot of dust. - Don't miss a spot and cleans everything. Cons: - Wet cleaning is average. - App is poor. - Can't set virtual walls. - Map resets every time it starts cleaning. Also after cleaning, it map shows wrong spot of my robot, which is in a dock station nat hthe moment. - If robot gets confused, he stops working and says "place me in an open area", then he starts cleaning everything again (even if he cleaned 90% of your place). - going home function is not very clever. Robots just goes by edges to dock station. - cant clean just the room you want. So this is my first robot i bought. At first I was disappointed, cause he didn't wanted to work normally - in narrow corridor (1.4meter width) he got confused and just stopped working saying open me in open area. But somehow, later he started working normally. It cleans my rooms (~40 square meters) in about 30mins and uses 20% of battery. This is in Auto mode which i use usually for cleaning my whole flat. Modes: - Auto. This is the mode I use daily. Robot just goes kind of 'randomly' but also 'line by line' everywhere. - Spot. Tried it once, but didn't noticed pros of this mode. - Room. This mode is more for cleaning a single room i think. just leave it in a room ant it will clean it and also will do edge mode by running twice on edges. - Edge. Runs o edges only. - Recharge. Robots goes back to its dock station. Robot just goes by edges thought the rooms until he find a dock station nearby (like a meter away). So it can take like 5 minutes if he is at farthest room. The dust tank is quite big and it lasts me for a week, and i use it every day. Tried wet cleaning once, but it's not as effective as cleaning by my yourself. Robot don't bump to the walls, just to the table legs or other smaller parts. Remote control. Sometimes i control my robot with it, but you have to be near a robot ant point to it directly in order for it to work normally. And also it loses control many times: you press to go forward but after 1 meter it just stops. App. I personally don't like it. Overall, i think it's a good product for a price. But I wont buy it again - I would choose more clever robot (which don't have cons i wrote above).

We have been using the Alawise V8S Pro for 3 weeks now and are very pleased with the device. The suction power with 1800pa is perfectly fine and the volume is acceptable for us. Watching TV is possible. The storage container is sufficiently large and equipped with Hepafilter. Hair and the same absorbs the bottom roller very well and can be cleaned well. The wiping function is very good on all hard floors, caution here is that he has no carpet detection, and thus wipes the carpet! He handles the navigation quite well, even with many obstacles in the room. The connection with the WLAN worked without problems with us and the voice control via Alexa or Google works, but only start and stop. Other commands can be added as a scene via the SamrtLife app. About the space map created by the robot when he sucks you can say something difficult where he was and where not, I think this is not very clearly designed, there is a need for action! The map is recreated each time, so you can create no zones to not suck (wipe). All in all, the V8S Pro is a really good helper in the household and has absolutely convinced us in this price range! Pro + - good suction 1800pa - very good wiping function with a large water tank - Volume Battery is sufficient for about 120m³ (2 hours) -App and remote control Accessories with (2x microfiber wipes, 2x spare side brushes, 2x Hepafilter) -Contra Card in the app not very clear - with black or very dark carpets, the anti-roll sensors have difficulties - Retrieving the base sometimes takes a long time

I was writing a beautiful review, the best I had ever written, detailing my experience so far. But a design flaw in the app (a tiny button with an X in its center, which I didn't see, right next to the text box) made me accidentally erase the whole text. And I'm not writing it again, haha. So, I'm really liking the cleaner. It's not perfect, but it's still amazing. My floors are very clean, especially after using the wet mop option. I have no wifi at home, so I can't test the App function. I got disappointed when I googled for extra brushes and filters for this specific model, and couldn't find any. I got in contact with Alfawise, and they said they don't sell the pieces separately. What??? Here on GB I found brushes and filters for the V8S model, but wasn't sure if they were compatible with the V8S Pro E30B. Until I saw a comment saying that they are. So I bought some. I'll find out if they fit or not in a few days. By the way, the cleaner's shipping took less than 2 weeks. I just erased the whole text again. The fricking button has a huge vertical touch area: the whole height of the text box... Ay ay. Fortunately I had copied most of it. Most of it... In short: - Very good cleaning quality and build quality. - It's smart enough. It's not perfect, but I'm still impressed. - If you want extra parts (brushes and filters), you can buy the ones for the V8S version, they are supposed to fit (they are made by GoComma, Alfawise doesn't sell the parts separately).

Really a great deal paid about 150.00 euros including fast shipping DHL arrived from a European warehouse took exactly 4 days to arrive. I am convinced that if Gearbest could use more shipments from European depots, then it would be more competitive with the American giant who ships with delivery the next day for almost all of Italy. The Alfawise V8S Pro robot is really a very positive surprise so much that it deserves 5 rating stars. I state that I was in the possession of an old man now Robot vacuum cleaner that had never completely convinced me enough to leave it in the cellar and continue to use the beloved "Kobold". With this robot, instead, I wanted to use it again. Beautiful aesthetically, silent and precise. It is a very advanced model, latest generation app, fast recharge, sucks with great precision, the corners, nightmare of all the robots, are cleaned honestly, no miracles, but they are cleaned. The package comes with a series of spare parts and accessories, including a useless European socket adapter, which make it a great deal, better than many others, more famous, robot vacuum cleaners. Tested as soon as it arrives it proves to be very silent, there are even included the two batteries for the remote control, very rare case for this price range. I was so satisfied that I ordered another one to give to my sister. Multilingual instructions including Italian. I highly recommend it.
