Trifo Max robot vacuum cleaner review
Design
The Trifo Max is all white and sports a classic robot vacuum design with a single spinning brush at the front left and a hatch in the top that opens to reveal the removable dustbin. There’s also an angled camera in the top and two buttons, one to start or stop cleaning and one to send it home to the charging station. Trifo Max is considerably bigger, standing 3.3 inches tall and with a 14.2-inch diameter.
Smart AI
Not only are you getting a robot vacuum, it’s also a security device by default. The user can listen remotely and speak to family members, pets, or (this is a weird scenario) intruders through Max’s A.I. interface. Max can also send out alerts to family members about movement, people, unusual sounds, and other instances that might require alerts, as well as triggering automatic video recording by internal security systems. The robot’s internal battery will last up to two hours and it also includes a USB charger in case you need a last-minute phone charge.
How to setup
It only takes a few minutes to unbox and unwrap the Trifo Max, plug in the charging base, and set it to charge. When you turn it on for the first time, it plays some intro music and greets you in a booming voice that delighted my children. This was an unexpected upgrade straight out of the future — our old robot vacuum couldn’t talk.
The next step is to install the Trifo Home app for Android or iOS, and that’s where our problems started.
The process is simple enough. You select the Trifo model and then enter your Wi-Fi password. A QR code is generated on your smartphone screen, which you hold up to the camera on the Trifo Max, and then it tries to connect.
Strong suctions
he Trifo Max boasts a suction power of 3,000 Pa, and the extra grunt is immediately obvious when you turn it on because it’s a loud robot vacuum. At 70 decibels, it sounds just like a conventional vacuum cleaner — this is not a robot vacuum I would schedule to run at night because it would wake everyone up.
Mapping
he Max has smart learning abilities and can use its camera to map out different rooms in your home and clean them efficiently. Compared to my old Eufy’s route, which often looked random in its patterns, the Trifo Max impressed me with its choices.
There’s a single sweeping brush at the front left as you face the Trifo Max, so it favors that side, turning to get in close to edges and sweep out corners.
The Trifo Max can also detect the top of the stairs and avoid going over, though I almost dropped it in fright the first time I picked it up to carry it upstairs when it loudly exclaimed, “Please, put me back on the ground!”
Performance
The Trifo Max cleans well, leaving hard and carpeted rooms looking as clean as if you had done it yourself with a manual vacuum cleaner. It certainly outshines the Eufy it replaced, which didn’t clean as well and got stuck far more often. The Trifo Max can clean for up to two hours, and it returns to the charging station automatically when it has finished or when the battery is running low. A full charge takes around three hours.
The dustbin is easy to remove and open, but you’ll want to hold it inside a big bin to empty or you’ll end up with clouds of dust everywhere. It takes some shaking to get everything out. The 600 ml capacity is enough for a complete clean of my home, but you’ll likely want to empty it every couple of cleaning sessions.
Trifo Max robot vacuum cleaner customer review
Awesome Robot Vacuum
Such a great Robot. Despite I have an older version already I am still surprised finding how advanced the robot is today. I had an older version of this Trifo robot. It works great for me so I always want to buy another one for different floor. I love this one even better.
The external design is quite eye catching like an apple product. More importantly I find two aspects are very useful. One is that they move the charging port to back instead of front. So the angled camera is not impacted at all when the robot is at charging. Actually I moved my old one to the second floor and place this new one charging station close to front door so it becomes a motion sensor for me. Surprise, this robot is also my front door alarm monitor. Second the trash is removable from the top instead of backward. It’s very easy to take out that way.
The vacuum is more powerful than its previous version. At the beginning, I tried it in my bedroom. That room has a new installed carpet and it’s quite thick. The robot has no problem dealing with it. It is much powerful than the older version which is great. After all it is a cleaning robot. Like the previous version, the robot is quite smart and can figure out the room layout quickly. I think the algorithm is more advanced as the sweep paths left on the carpet are more organized. But I have only used this new one for short time and can’t tell how advanced this one is.
On the negative side, the setup guide in App is not that easy. I went back and forth for a while. However, the app is very powerful other than that. Just the UI is not that fancy.
Must Have for Parents and/or Pet Owners
I have been using this must have vacuum for the last couple of weeks and I am so happy with it’s performance! I have been using Max instead of my self emptying robot that is twice the price. I can honestly say that this vacuum has a much stronger suction compared to my usual robot vacuum. This is great because I have a toddler and an extremely furry Siberian Husky. The only downfall to this is that it is incredibly loud. This is an issue for me as a stay at home mom. I suggest using it while running errands or during the work day. The surveillance feature makes it easy to check in when while away which is nice.
Another benefit is that installation was incredibly simple and fast. It only took about 15 minutes to unbox, install the app and finish setup. My husband and I can both control Max from our phones with ease. The docking station is very small and it doesn’t take up much room which is great.
I am incredibly impressed with this robot vacuum overall. I took one star off my rating for two reasons. The first is that i am not impressed with the volume. The second is that the dust bin is fairly small. I have a 1,400 square foot house and I only have to empty the bin once when used daily. If I had to choose I would trade the surveillance feature for a self emptying bin. I don’t have a lot of need for surveillance because I am home all day.
