Cleans You House Faster and Better
The VR9000 model uses a powerful Cyclone Force system that creates strong centrifugal forces that separate dirt and debris inside an outer chamber so that there will be no clogging and problems with the suction power. It charges in about two and a half hours and one charge is enough for 60 minutes of cleaning. This device offers 15 times more power than other models and the 12.2” clearing path makes sure there will be no dirt on your floors once it’s done the vacuuming.
- Wide motorized brush:
the innovation comes with the wide motorized brush that allows the unit to clean larger areas with less movement. These brushes rotate to loosen trapped dirt and the suction across the entire brush makes sure all the dirt is attracted inside the vacuum. The powerful brushes allow the device to go from carpet to floor to tile without getting stuck, offering 100% cleaning performance on any type of surface.
- Impressive speed of 12.6 inches per second:
so it is able to finish the job faster.
There are some useful features included in the POWERbot vacuum cleaner that make it more powerful and efficient than other models, like the Visionary Mapping Plus navigation.
- Digital camera and 10 sensors:
they work together not only to detect the obstacles, but also to determine the best path by creating a map of your home. This way, you don’t have to worry about the furniture or obstacles on the floor because the vacuum will know where they are and will avoid them.
- 6 EasyPass wheels: to promote a better transition from one surface to another and easily pass over obstacles. The 10-cm wide wheels help it go from cement to fluffy carpets without getting stuck, although large obstacles like chairs legs might interfere with its sensors. Sometimes, the device refuses to move when it encounters a large obstacle and you have to guide it back to the charging base using the remote control.

This vacuum cleaner has four cleaning options meant to increase both its efficiency and maneuverability. On the auto function, it cleans until it considers it enough, on the spot clean it covers a small area and cleans it thoroughly, the max clean keeps the vacuum cleaning until the battery is done, and the manual clean allows you to operate the device using the remote.
- Point cleaning: comes in handy if you want to control the vacuum yourself. Although this robot cleans on itself, you can use the remote to point its light beam at a particular area and the vacuum will insist on that area.
- Versatile remote control: besides choosing the desired clenaing mode, you can also use the remote control to schedule it or to increase the suction power.
Attractive Design and Simple Operation
Perhaps one of the best-looking robot vacuums, this model has a stunning design that makes it look more like a spaceship than a robot vacuum. he VR9000 POWERbot robot is just over 5” tall, but it’s tall enough to be unable to fit underneath the furniture and it has a large tubular dustbin that protrudes a little from the top. The robot comes with a virtual guard that keeps the device away from a certain area that you set, but it lacks a Virtual Wall Lighthouse that would allow it to clean multiple rooms and go back to the base once it’s done. It also lacks a soft bumper that would protect it in case it bumps into furniture and walls.
- Nice looking housing and screen: it has a beautiful black-and-copper housing and a LED screen illuminated in blue which shows when it’s time to empty he dustbin and when the battery is running low.
- Translucent bin: you can see how much dirt is collected or if there’s a clog.
- You can use it whenever you want: as it is not very loud. It emitts 68 dB.
- No filters to change:
the included filter helps capture airborne allergens. For more convenience, it can be washed so there will be no maintenance required and no additional costs.
- Oversized 23-ounce dust bin: can collect a large amount of debris without having to empty it.
After reviewing this model, we can say that we are impressed with the multiple features it was packed with, including Visionary Mapping Plus navigation, digital camera and 10 sensors that all work together to keep your floors clean. Like any other product, this one also has several drawbacks. Therefore, if you are planning to purchase this item for your home, it’s important to know that it lacks a side-sweeping brush to help it clean along walls. However, this is an incredible device that will surely meet all your requirements.
- It comes with an advanced navigation
- It picks up debris very well along walls
- It has fall prevention sensors which will stop the robot from falling down stairs
- Very efficient cleaning time
- Easy to install
- It doesn’t get close to edges
- It can still operate without the dustbin in its place
Frequently Asked Questions
?How to Use the Virtual Guard?
To keep the robot away from certain areas, the virtual guard emits an infrared ray that creates a virtual line with a length of approximately 2.5 meters. When you want to use the guard, place it in the desired area and turn it on by pressing the power button. Make sure the infrared ray sensor is facing in the right direction. The guard is powered by 2 D alkaline batteries which are not included.
?At What Range Does the Remote Control Operate?
The range depends on the height you hold the remote at.
At a height of 0.5 meters, the remote operates at a maximum distance of approximately 1.5 meters. At a height of 1 meter, the remote operates at a maximum distance of approximately 2 meters. At a height of 1.5 meters, the remote operates at a maximum distance of approximately 3 meters. ?What Does the C05 Message on the Display Mean?
This is an error code and it means you have to check the bumper sensor. It will disappear after you turn off and on the emergency switch. In case the code doesn’t disappear, it’s recommended to contact the technical support center.
