Inexpensive Suction Robot From GearBest In The Test: The 360 S6 Is The Final Boss For Dust Mice

Behind the bulky name and the brand unknown to us, the 360 S6 Automatic Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is a very interesting vacuum robot. It scores above all with a great price-performance ratio, intelligent navigation and good cleaning performance. He doesn't have to hide behind the big manufacturers iRobot and Neato.

Highlights include control via the app, the integrated wiping function and the creation of restricted areas in which the robot is not allowed to drive.

A disadvantage is the suction power on carpets. Although it automatically recognizes carpets and increases the suction power, it lacks some power. On the other hand, the result looks much better on hard floors, but due to its round design, it does not always come out completely in the corner.

In the test, however, we are enthusiastic about the clever navigation: The S6 connects to the smartphone app and creates a high-resolution map of the area. With his laser tower on the top, he scans the room and creates an exact cleaning path that he quickly walks. There is no senseless driving around on the S6. You can follow the route on your cell phone at any time. He dodges obstacles and never forgets areas. Top!

Another important buying argument are the selectable restricted zones: If you have an apartment with unfavorable furniture, you can simply omit some areas. The robot will not go there. This is quite useful when there are a lot of cables in a corner or pet food bowls. Simply mark the area in the app, so you can also lock doors and entire rooms.

With these features, it is in the upper class range, the price, however, is limited at 380 euros. At GearBest it is always offered for just under 300 euros. This is cheap for a vacuum robot with this equipment. If you don't want to spend too much money on a vacuum robot, but above all value a lot of equipment, you should take a closer look at the model.
