Chuwi iLife is a Chinese brand of cheap vacuum cleaner robots that comes to compete directly with the most expensive products on the market. However, the products of the ILIFE range have become very popular not only in Asia, but throughout the world because they practically have the functions of other Premium brands but for a third of their price. The new iLife V5S Pro is the latest gadget introduced by Chuwi that will help you further automate the cleaning of your home. It is a remotely controlled 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner that can be used in wet or dry cleaning mode and moves automatically throughout the house without colliding with any object, while protecting the floor from damage.

ILIFE V5S Pro Intelligent Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is an essential household cleaning machine. With Intelligent Anti-collision System Sensor, it can prevent collision and protect furniture from damage. 850Pa Super Suction can help you save energy and time. Powerful intelligent cleaning, wet and dry cleaning and multiple cleaning modes for your free choice. The coverage size is up to 150 – 180 square meters. The noise is less than 50dB, it will give you a quiet room. Easily deal with all kinds of cleaning environment. Suitable for the floor, cement, ceramic tile, wooden floor, undercoat carpet, etc. You deserve to own it.

Design

The Chuwi ilife V5S Pro brings a virtually identical design to the V5 , except for the fact that it is somewhat lighter with its 2 kilos of weight , compared to the 2.17 kg of V5. Its dimensions are 30 x 30 x 7 cm , it has a round structure and has 3 rubber wheels (2 fixed and 1 swivel) that allow it to move around the whole floor of the house, including lower carpets. One of the main aspects that distinguish it from the V5 model is that the V5 Pro has a ” golden pink ” color , while the V5 is silver. The golden color is more striking, although in my opinion it makes the device look like a huge box of makeup powder.

Operating the iLife V5S Pro

To start using the vacuum cleaner , you must turn it on using the button on the side, after which you can control it only using the remote control. The iLife V5 Pro also has a cleaning button at the top, but the only thing it does is activate the automatic cleaning mode, so to make use of other modes or to set the programmed cleaning mode you have to resort commanding. One thing to keep in mind before buying the iLife V5 Pro is that the robot can only clean areas between 150 and 180 square meters on a single charge . If you have a house with a larger surface, you may need to think about other solutions with greater autonomy. On the other hand, the distance limit was increased by up to 60 square meters compared to the V5 model. Likewise, the vacuum cleaner will be able to dodge the wires and objects of the house without problems, and even be able to raise carpets up to 3 centimeters wide . In case of encountering stairs, your sensors will detect it and will change course instantly. At the end of the cleaning, the V5S Pro will automatically revert to the charging base , although it will not always do so at first, since it does not have a technology that allows it to store the route followed. But after giving a couple of laps around the room, it ends up finding its base, where its 2600mAh battery will start the recharging process.

Main Modes

Dry Cleaning : This is the way you will normally use the V5 Pro. The integrated brushes on each side of the device collect all the dirt in the medium, which is then sucked into the dust container.
Wet Cleaning : Being so cheap, it is really amazing to see this function inside the V5 Pro. To make use of the mop mode, you must replace the dust tank by the water tank. To do this you have to click on the upper cover of the vacuum cleaner, which will give you access to the tank. You can put up to 300 milliliters of water, which will be used gradually to wet the bottom microfiber cloth that will clean the floor.

Cleaning Modes

The iLife V5S Pro has 3 operating modes : Automatic, Edge Clean and Spot Clean. These modes can be activated directly from the device’s remote control (using the last row of buttons) and work as follows:
Automatic Cleaning : When set up in this mode, the iLife V5S Pro automatically abandons the charging cradle and begins to explore the environment at random, avoiding the obstacles encountered by the built-in sensors. The truth is that it has nothing to envy other Premium models, although it is necessary to point out that V5S Pro will not remember the routes it has followed and it is possible that it revises several times the same place. On the other hand, at the end of the cleaning or when the battery is about to run out, the device will automatically return to the charging base.
Edge or Corner Cleaning : In Edge mode, the V5S Pro will try to clean the areas around the corners of objects such as sofas, tables, chairs, etc. This is a way you will rarely use, since most of the time you will need to clean the entire house or an entire room, including the surfaces under the tables.
Spot or spot cleaning : In this mode, the V5S Pro will begin to spin in a spiral to clean certain points in the house. It is very useful especially if you have spilled something on the floor and you want to have only cleaned the affected area.
Planned Cleaning : Apart from the already detailed modes, the V5S Pro will also allow you to enter a predetermined time at which the robot should start cleaning itself. It is very useful if you want to make you clean while you are working or traveling.

Noise and Suction Power

The suction power of the iLife V5S Pro has been increased compared to the V5 model. While the latter brings a suction power of 600pa, the Chuwi iLife V5S Pro reaches 850pa. As for noise, the iLife V5S Pro brings a quiet operating mode that generates only 50db , allowing you to sleep without problems while the vacuum cleaner cleans your house. In comparison, the V5S also offers a similar mode, although the generated noise reaches 55 decibels.

Remote Control

The remote control is key to control the vacuum cleaner , and integrates a small digital display that shows the time and the time of the scheduled cleaning, if you have activated it.

These are the buttons of the remote control and the uses of each one:
Arrows : The directional buttons serve to force the vacuum cleaner to change direction. Although it moves by itself, sometimes you want the robot to go to a certain place or you want it not to clean some area of ​​the house. In this case the best thing you can do is block the area with some object, although if you are going to be around the house, you can use the arrows to direct the vacuum cleaner to the desired site.
“Clean” button: This button has multiple uses, although it is used to start an automatic cleaning session. If you press the button while the vacuum cleaner is already in the middle of a cleaning task, the device will stop briefly, and return to your activity when you press it again. If you leave it paused for a long time, it will enter Sleep mode, in which case you will have to press the “Clean” button twice to restart it: the first time to wake it from Sleep mode and the second to wake it up again The cleaning mode.
“Plan” button: This button is used to specify an exact time of day when you want the vacuum cleaner to perform an automatic cleaning.
“Spot” and “Edge” buttons : These are the two cleaning modes we have already detailed above. The Spot button (bottom left) will allow you to vacuum a spot in your house to clean spots, and when no longer detects dirt will stop, while the Edge button (bottom right) is used for when you want to clean only Along the corners of the walls. You will run through the corners until you reach the end, and then continue to the next corner, and so on until you pause.
Home button : This button serves to send the vacuum cleaner to the charging base manually. If you press the Clean button and let it run alone, the robot will eventually return to its base once the battery is low. However, you can always stop it by pressing the Home button.

Battery

The battery of the V5S Pro has a capacity of 2600mAh and an autonomy of between 120 and 150 minutes , surpassing the 130 minutes of autonomy of the model V5. It is practically the same technology used by the superior model, the V7, and it is an excellent autonomy in comparison with other models of the market. One thing to keep in mind is that the first time you use it, you have to leave it connected to the charging adapter for a longer time, in order to benefit from all the autonomy possible. The standard charging time is 280 minutes, although if you are going to use the vacuum cleaner only half an hour, then the battery will recharge in a very short time.
