Editor's Summary
I've been testing the Midea VCR V12 WH robot vacuum for a while now, and it's a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and efficient cleaning experience. The sleek design and compact size make it easy to maneuver around furniture, and the laser sensor is a major plus when it comes to navigation. However, it does have some drawbacks, like its inability to pick up long curtains and its somewhat limited suction power. It's a great option for small to medium-sized spaces, but it may not be the best choice for larger areas or those with heavy pet hair.
Specifications
I'm really excited to share my experience with the Midea VCR V12 WH robot vacuum.
I've been searching for the perfect vacuum, and I decided to give this Wi-Fi enabled robot a try because who doesn't love a good robot that can clean for you?
This vacuum is sleek and compact, with a white matte finish that looks amazing. The plastic feels solid, and I'm obsessed with the laser sensor that helps it navigate and map out your space. I've had a vacuum without a sensor before, and let me tell you, it's a huge disappointment. This one is super agile and quiet, and it can easily navigate over thresholds and uneven floors.The one thing that's worth mentioning is that it doesn't pick up long curtains like mine, but it doesn't get in the way either. It does a great job of cleaning along baseboards, and the battery life is seriously impressive - it can cover a decent-sized area on a single charge.
The base station is a self-cleaning dock, which is a nice touch. It's not tiny, but the robot itself takes care of emptying the dustbin into a special bag. I used to think it was a hassle to clean out the dustbin, but in a big city, it's nice to have that extra convenience. The station also has a feature for cleaning mops and drying them.
There are modes for gentle and intense cleaning, but even the intense mode can struggle with dried-on stains. On the 'mop' mode, it'll avoid carpets altogether. When it encounters a carpet, it won't pick up the mop, but it will increase suction power with its carpet sensors. After a run, it'll head back to the base station to clean its brushes.
You can control the vacuum through the app, which is super convenient, but sometimes it glitches.
I'm pretty happy with this vacuum, but it's on the pricier side at $34,000.
