Neabot NoMo N2 Review – Robot Vacuum with Self-Emptying

One of the most important gifts technology has given us is time savings. That’s easy to forget when you’re staring at a phone screen, or playing video games. And it’s true, a lot of modern technology is geared towards entertainment. But even “entertainment” devices save us a lot of time. Think about your phone for a second. What’s easier? Driving to the bank to cash a check, or depositing it from home with your banking app? We have apps for ordering food, getting directions, and countless other everyday tasks. All of these tools benefit us by saving us time, so we can get on with our lives.

这humble vacuum cleaner is a great example of time saving technology. Before the invention of the vacuum, cleaning your rugs could be an all-day affair. You had to take them outside, hang them up, and beat them with a stick until dirt stopped coming out. The only real plus side was that you got a workout. But standard vacuums still require you to put in the time. This isn’t a huge deal, but it’s still a chore you have to do once or twice a week. With a robot vacuum, on the other hand, you hardly have to do anything at all. It vacuums your floor, and all you have to do is empty it out once in a while.

Today, we’re going to review theNeabot NoMo N2。氮气是一个一体化的真空和拖把,我们rks on both carpets and solid floors. It automatically maps your home for you, and you can set it to run on a schedule. Not only that, but the dust hopper empties itself into a larger dust bag in the base. But these are just a few of the things you need to look at when you’re choosing a robot vacuum. We need to look a lot closer at the physical design, the suction power, and the app features. We’ll talk about what it’s capable of cleaning, the battery life, and how it’s used. Once we’ve taken all these things into consideration, we’ll have a better idea of what we’re dealing with. At that point, we’ll render our final verdict. Let’s get started!

整体设计

这Neabot NoMo N2, like most robot vacuums, has a disc-shaped design. At just under a foot in diameter, it’s fairly chunky, and at 3.75 inches thick, it’s also a bit fat. This means it won’t fit under some furniture, but under most circumstances, the height won’t be an issue. Most of the unit is actually a bit slimmer, in fact. Much of the height comes from the puck-shaped LiDAR tower on the top center. The housing is black ABS plastic, with beefy bumpers on the sides. If you accidentally kick it, it’s not going to get damaged. The top is also shielded with tempered glass. It’s not unbreakable, but it’s sturdier than plastic or regular glass.

在顶部,向前面,你会看到一个线性构造ar control button, split into two halves. The front half is the power button, which starts a cleaning cycle. The back half is the home button, which will return the vacuum to its charging base. On the bottom of the housing, the main roller brush is located towards the center. It has long bristles for deep carpets, with a spiral pattern to clean your floor more efficiently. Towards the front right, there’s a secondary brush, which sweeps horizontally like a helicopter blade. It helps on solid floors, to sweep debris towards the main brush. At the very back of the bottom, you’ll find the mopping surface, with a removable microfiber mopping pad.

On either side of the main roller, there are big, fat rubber wheels. These are designed to traverse transitions between carpet, hardwood, tile, and other surfaces. You won’t get up and down steps or anything crazy like that, but a ¾-inch transition is no obstacle. At the very front of the bottom, there’s a third, smaller wheel, mounted in its own swiveling housing. This wheel isn’t used for propulsion. However its housing is motorized, and it pivots to steer the vacuum. This allows the N2 to maneuver with ease around furniture and other common household obstacles.

随着真空本身，包装还包括对接站。该站具有椭圆形底座，高13.75英寸高。真空扩展坞这相当大，但这是因为里面有大型尘箱。大多数对接站仅用作为电池充电器，允许它们具有更小的概况。对接站壳体由与真空壳体相同的哑光黑色塑料制成。保持清洁和擦拭很容易。

在码头的前面，您会注意到LCD显示屏。这使您可以读出真空和基地的当前状态。顶部指示灯让您知道内部防尘袋是否已被填满。当真空积极充电时，中间点亮。底部光用作电池指示器。即使当N2真空远离基地时，您也会有目前电荷水平的视觉读数。与此同时，扩展坞的顶部打开以露出内部防尘袋。我们将在一分钟内更详细地讨论这一点。

这NoMo N2 is covered by a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. This protects you from any defects in material or workmanship. If the vacuum fails prematurely, you’ll get a refund or a replacement. In addition, Neabot also provides a 45-day no-questions-asked return window. If you decide you don’t like it for any reason, just send it back.

If you want a somewhat more affordable vacuum with similar performance, check out theViomi V3 Max。它具有相同的吸力水平，它可以记住五个不同的平面图。在缺点中，它没有任何自排空功能。

Vacuum Performance

这NoMo N2有三个不同的吸力。如果您愿意，您可以通过应用程序手动设置吸力。但默认情况下，吸入级别将自动设置。内部有一个传感器，检测电流的电阻量。当您击中沉重的地毯时，电源将自动升级以补偿。当您回到实心地板时，吸入水平会降低以节省电池寿命。最大吸入水平为2,700 pascals（PA），比平均机器人VAC强。这不是市场上最强大的，但对于日常的家庭混乱，它足够强大。

除了真空功能外，还有拖把功能。就像真空一样，拖把有一些自动化的内置。传感器检测到地板的当前水分水平，并调整水输送到地图。当真空在地毯上穿过时，它也会完全停止拖地。您可以在真空模式，拖地模式下运行N2，或者立即进行一次，具体取决于您的需求。

If you do need a more powerful vacuum, consider theUltenic U11反而。它有25,000pa吸力，就像一些较小的商店vac。然后，这是一个直立的真空，而不是机器人真空，所以你必须自己做这项工作。也没有内置的拖把功能。

这N2’s internal battery will last for around 2 hours, although there’s a lot of variability built in. If you’re running on low power all the time, you’ll get much longer life than if you’re always on high. Even so, you’ll be able to clean most 2,000 square foot homes without needing to stop for a charge cycle.

设置和日常使用

第一次操作Nomo N2时，它似乎随机徘徊;这实际上是正常的。当它首次启动时，真空没有想到它在哪里或者它的位置。但从开始运行的那一刻起，激光雷达映射系统就会工作。它识别房间，家具，楼梯和其他障碍，并建造您家的地图。之后，N2将以Zig-ZAG模式运行，智能地在您的房子上工作。

这vacuum also remembers where the base is. When the battery drops below 15 percent, or when the internal dust bin is full, it automatically returns. The inner dust bin has a capacity of 300ml, more than enough to cover most homes. The internal bag, by comparison, has a capacity of 2.8L. This is enough to vacuum for a month or more without actually having to go hands-on. One thing we didn’t like was that the opening from the little bin to the base is fairly small. If you vacuum up clumps of debris like animal hair, those clumps can get stuck and prevent it from emptying. The water tank has a capacity of 250ml, and needs to be refilled any time you want to mop.

Within the Neabot app, you can make many changes to customize your vacuuming routine. Most importantly, you can set a schedule for the N2, so it runs when you need it to. You can also set no-go zones where the vacuum can’t go, or program it to clean only specific rooms. You can switch between different maps if your home has different floors. And if you prefer voice commands, you can set it up with Alexa or Google Home. Unfortunately, the app sometimes randomly loses your home’s map. This can be annoying, since you have to re-set any zones you’ve set up.

If you want a vacuum with a more reliable mapping function, theNeabot NoMo Q11可能是理想的。它具有类似的功能，但自动化较少的毛利率，并且您也有更多的吸力。另一方面，它也比较昂贵。

最后的判决

这Neabot NoMo N2is a well-engineered robot vacuum in most respects. We were disappointed by the mapping function, and the self-emptying feature could have worked better. But it’s reasonably powerful, it’s durable, and it’s easy to use. All in all, it’s worth considering.
