With its Legee 7, Hobot expands its range of floor mopping robots and enriches it with many features, starting with a laser rangefinder that allows it to locate itself in space and carry out methodical navigation.
The Hobot Legee 7 is the worthy successor of the Legee 688 to which it brings great improvements. His laser rangefinder allows him to methodically navigate, map his surroundings and install virtual beacons to prevent the robot from accessing certain places. It will be necessary to provide some around the carpets on which this floor scrubber tends to climb shamelessly. Intelligent and versatile, it effectively cleans all surfaces. Thanks to the multiple functions of the application, it makes it possible to obtain an almost tailor-made cleaning. The most painful thing is that he cannot cross the threshold bars on his own, which then forces him to pass him manually from one room to another.
Strong points
- Wipe vibration system that brushes and polishes the floor.
- Laser rangefinder.
- Many features in the application (virtual barriers, etc.).
- Cleaning efficiency.
- Autonomy.
Weak points
- A little high.
- Noisy.
- Does not cross threshold bars.
- Does not recognize surfaces.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
This robot can certainly be improved, in particular by allowing the use of detergent in mop mode. Nevertheless, it largely keeps its promises, in particular incredible discretion, pleasant navigation intelligence and good obstacle management. Finally, in terms of cleaning, it does the job requested. The Braava 380 is still a recommendable device.
