Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Electrolux EL520A Trilobite Robotic Vacuum
Customer Review: Love my Trilobite verses my broken again Roomba
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a Discovery myself to help with my asthma and only used it in my tiled kitchen/family room. A very easy floor to clean. My friends were so impressed 4 of them bought roombas and or scubas.... Well I'm sorry to say that 3 of them as well as I have had irobot replace parts and refurb machines (might I add ... we had no problem with customer service) until the warranty was up...Now they want another 100.00 for another refurb... Not getting it from me! I just bought the trilobite for $437.00 and for one it really SUCKS... not simply brushing the dirt but vacuuming it up. It is a true vacuum not a sweeper like the roomba's. And if you can afford to get real lazy you can get the Karcher RC-3000 RoboCleaner that even has a self emptying feature.
Description of Electrolux EL520A Trilobite Robotic Vacuum
The Trilobite is the world's first automatic vacuum cleaner. It was designed with one goal in mind: to give people time for more important things than vacuuming. But since its launch in Europe last year, it has earned reputation for more than just house cleaning. For starters, its? sleek design makes it interesting and attractive. Its low, round body helps it maneuver in small spaces, and under furniture. It's also industrious. It can clean the whole room, spot-clean or do a quick-clean, right before the guests arrive. And it's sensitive. So much so, that it can vacuum around a glass of water without spilling a drop. Best of all, it is independent and conscientious. All you have to do is hit go, since the Trilobite figures out how to navigate the room, and then cleans it, all by itself. If it gets tired, it returns to the charging baywithout your having to lift a finger. It even turns itself?off when it's finished. The Trilobite uses ultrasound to navigate through a room, just like a bat. First the vacuum sends out an ultrasound signal, that reflects off the walls and furniture. Then, eight microphones inside the Trilobite receive and measure the returning signals. This gives the vacuum an accurate picture of the room, enabling it to avoid collisions. The Trilobite calculates the size of a room by following around the walls. It does this for a minimum of 90 seconds and up to 15 minutes. After it is finished mapping the room, it automatically starts cleaning.Housewares
