What is a washing robot vacuum cleaner?
It is worth noting! The washing robot vacuum cleaner is a highly efficient household appliance with artificial intelligence.
The main purpose of the device is to automatically clean surfaces from debris and dust.
In order to start cleaning, the owner only needs to specify the parameters in accordance with the instructions, after which the equipment will do everything itself.
While collecting debris, the washing vacuum cleaner will additionally moisten the floor with water or detergent, thoroughly cleaning the surface.
Advertising nonsense
The modern market for robotic vacuum cleaners is characterized by very dense competition. The number of models is off the charts. In order to stand out, some manufacturers are starting to come up with marketing nonsense .

Yes, it happens. iRobot is especially guilty of this . iAdapt 3.0 navigation system, patented Dirt Detect™ technology, Clean Base™ automatic debris removal system. “And the crouton in our restaurant is called crouton.” It’s exactly the same toasted piece of bread, only the crouton can’t cost $8, but the crouton can.”
Do you see the abundance of clever foreign names? Marketers beware!
Varieties and types
Stay up to date! All devices used to clean surfaces with water can be divided into several categories:
- Devices with wet cleaning option. The vacuum cleaner comes with a special attachment to which a microfiber cloth is attached. A water reservoir is inserted inside the device and after the user has selected the appropriate mode, the liquid begins to be dosed onto the tissue. During the cleaning process, the device draws in debris and at the same time wipes the coating.
- Robot washers. Designed to combat heavy stains - they operate without a cloth. The design assumes the presence of two tanks inside the housing: for clean/dirty water and detergent. First, the robot performs dry cleaning, and then sprays detergent and wipes the floor.
- Polishers. Devices that perform dry cleaning with a napkin and do not absorb debris. Such vacuum cleaners collect dust well, but are completely unsuitable for use in very dirty rooms.

Russian language support
Localization of robotic vacuum cleaners for Russia implies:
- instructions;
- application;
- voice acting;
- voice control;
Let's take a closer look.
Instructions in Russian
It is not difficult to choose a robot vacuum cleaner based on language parameters. Everything is indicated in the specifications for the models.
If the robot was officially imported and sold on the territory of the Russian Federation, then the instructions must be in Russian.
Xiaomi stands out a little from this series - robots from their production enter the country in different ways, and often the instructions included in the kit are in English or even Chinese. But there should be no problems here, some large online stores have translated it into Russian on their own, you can find and download everything without any problems.
Russified application
Everything is more complicated here. I talked about this partly when we talked about applications. Many people believe that the lack of Russification is a minus. It is important to understand where the Russified application comes from. The original application is taken and translated into Russian. At the same time, the initial version continues to develop in its English language, but the Russian version of the application remains in its first and final version.
As an illustration, I suggest again comparing the Tuya application (score 4.4) and its domestic clone Elari (score 3.6).
So don’t be lazy, there’s nothing smart in the application interface, you’ll figure it out in English. In addition, all settings in the application essentially need to be done once - set the schedule, power level and (if necessary) set up virtual walls. All.
All three of the best applications for robots - Xiaomi, Tuya, Airobot - are in agreement in this regard. There is no Russian language in the application itself.
Voice acting
I have compiled a small table for you with the main brands that voice messages in Russian.
| Xiaomi Roborock | + |
| Xiaomi Mi Robot | + |
| Okami | + |
I would also like to mention Xiaomi and iPlus. As for Xiaomi, I was lucky in that my model - Roborock S50 - was purchased before Xiaomi switched to the third generation of robots and completely blocked all opportunities to flash its own voice package. Therefore, with great pleasure I filled it with the “Leather Bastards” package, about which I also wrote a corresponding article on our website
