I tried using Toshiba made robot vacuum cleaner "TORNEO ROBO (Torneoboro)" which can be used continuously for one month without waste dumping



IRobot's "rumba", And Nate Robotics'Botvac"Dyson"360 Eye"If you register a timer, you will automatically clean the room everyday, but because of the structure that garbage is collected in the main body of the vacuum cleaner, you need to throw away the garbage after cleaning. Toshiba's robot vacuum cleaner "TORNEO ROBO(Torne Robo) "compresses dust into a dust station with a charging dock and sucks it in, so you can clean it without wasting garbage for a month while maintaining high suction power, so what kind of cleaner is it? So I tried using it in real life.

◆ Appearance
"TORNEO ROBO VC - RVS 2" arrives at the editorial department.


TORNEO ROBO body, dust station (charging base), remote control, instructions are included.


TORNEO ROBO is a round shaped robot cleaner.


There are three touch-sensitive buttons on the top surface of the glass made of glass, and use the upper right physical button to start and stop cleaning. The structure of the touch type button is similarly a refrigerator made by Toshiba "GR-J43 GXVIt is very similar to.


If "Manner" is on, you can quietly clean it by suppressing the rotation speed of the rotating brush and the force of the suction motor.


"Timer" can set the cleaning timer for each day of the week.


To change the timer's time, use the supplied remote control.


Bumper is attached to the left and right side of the main body side ... ....


When you hit the wall, the bumper gets dented and absorbs the shock.


The bottom is like this.


There are two side brushes on the front, with a turning wheel and a step sensor in the center.


Drive wheels and sensors on the left and right.


The rotating brush scratches the garbage with two thick and thin structures.


There is a main power switch at the lower right and push it to "ON" side before use.


In the dust station, the cyclone cup for collecting trash and garbage is united.


The cyclone cup can be removed by lifting the lid.


Also, the TORNEO ROBO body also has a dust cup.


The garbage collected during cleaning gathers in the dust cup.


To charge TORNEO ROBO, connect the charging dock to the power supply ......


Charging by fitting the main body. It can be fully charged in about 5 hours, it is possible to clean up continuously for up to 60 minutes.


Rumba's latest model "Rumba 980"Rumba 980 has a diameter of 353 mm, TORNEO ROBO has the same size as 350 mm in diameter, weighs about 3.9 kg for Rumba 980, 3.4 kg for TORNEO ROBO, TORNEO ROBO is slightly lighter than TORNEO ROBO.


Both of them have two driving wheels, one turning wheel, and rotating brush on the bottom. Rotating brush is made of rubber with Rumba 980, TORNEO ROBO is using fine bristled brushes. Rumba 980's side brush is one, but TORNEO ROBO has two side brushes because the main dust cup is small.


The height is 87 mm for TORNEO ROBO against 92 mm for Rumba 980.


Nate Robotics 'robotic vacuum cleaner'Botvac"TORNEO ROBO is slightly smaller compared to.


◆ I tried using
Let's clutter the garbage-like color drawing paper in the room and try cleaning it with TORNEO ROBO.


When TORNEO ROBO finds garbage, it has the function of automatically cleaning around the garbage intensively. Actually TORNEO ROBO starts cleaning, finding garbage and cleaning it can be seen from the following movie.

Cleaning is completed in about 15 minutes if it is about 2 tatami mat room. The appearance of TORNEO ROBO moving around the room can be seen from the following movie and when detecting a wall it slows down and suppresses damage, cleaning repeatedly repeatedly through a place with many garbage and a corner of the room You can see how it is.

After the cleaning is over or when you push the "charge" button on the main unit, it will automatically return to the dust station and start charging and at the same time the dust station's cyclone cup sucks up garbage collected in the main unit's dust cup.

Looking at the cyclone cup of the dust station, the garbage collected by the main body was moving to the cup. When the cyclone cup sucks up garbage, by compressing the volume of garbage by a factor of 5, it is possible to continue cleaning without unnecessary dumping for about a month.


Looking over the room after cleaning, there was some garbage left in the corner of the room.


When I tried cleaning with Rumba 980 with the same amount of dust, it was the impression that Rumba had higher suction power, more catching more rubbish and cleaning.


TORNEO ROBO has a function called "dust pocket" that scums garbage that the main body can not enter, and little dust collects on the side of the dust station using a floor wiper and so on, and it sucks the trash with a single button It is being done.

◆ Maintenance
When the dust station garbage is full, the "maintenance" lamp glows red and informs you of the timing of dumping.


To throw away the trash, take the cyclone cup from the dust station and push the detach button to remove the cup.


Another thing is OK if you throw away the garbage collected in the cup.


If the dirt is severe, remove the top of the cyclone cup ... ....


It is possible to disassemble and wash in pieces.


Also, when an error occurs, an error code is displayed on the display unit on the top of the unit, and the audio guide will flow on how to solve it. For example, "C07" has dirt adhered to the sensor on the bottom side, so the sound of "Please wipe the sensor with cloth" flows along with the error code display.


Turn the main unit upside down, wipe the sensor on the bottom and clean it.
