Is Bagotte BG800 worth your money? For most purposes, we’ll answer with a resounding yes. The battery life is somewhat limited, but that’s our only major complaint. And given the exceptional power of the motor, it’s understandable. The slim profile is very well designed, since it’s able to navigate just about anywhere. Moreover, the app control offers plenty of features. You can control the suction power, as well as the vacuum pattern. The voice control options are a great added value, allowing for hands-free operation. And with a large dust hopper, it’s easy to maintain and keep clean.

Bagotte BG800 robot vacuum cleaner review
Design
Like most robotic vacuums, the Bagotte BG800 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner has a two-part design. The main unit is a round, Roomba-shaped vacuum cleaner. However, it also includes a docking station that recharges the battery. The vacuum itself is attractive to look at, with a glossy black case. The sides and bottom, as well as the bulk of the frame are constructed from black ABS plastic. However, the top is reinforced, with a tempered glass top plate that’s very durable. The glass is also easier to keep clean than plastic, so your vacuum won’t be an eyesore while it’s running.
Room Mapping
There are several features we’re excited to see at this price point. The biggest one is room mapping and route planning. The Bagotte BG800 has the ability to actively map the room it’s working in and plan an efficient route, much the same way that a professional lawn crew cuts your lawn.
Adding efficiency is a big deal. Non-mapping units use an algorithm like my Husqvarna 105H Autmower. It runs into a boundary and then turns to a predetermined angle. It gets the job done, but it takes longer to hit everything.
The runtime on this unit is about 2 hours in low power working on hard floors and it needs 5 to 6 hours to charge. We run our vac when we leave for work, so that means this model has time to run just one full battery cycle for us. Thanks to the room mapping feature, our entire house can be vacuumed at least twice a week by only running while we’re gone.
Control
The vacuum uses app-based controls primarily and is also voice-activated using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Here’s a list of functions you can control with the app:
- Start and stop
- Scheduled cleaning
- Return to charge
- Movement direction
- Accessory status
- View location and map of the cleaned area
These controls require a wi-fi signal. You can still use the included remote control or the button on the vacuum to manually start and stop it, but the smart controls are much more convenient (and fun!).
Power
There are three power settings for the Bagotte BG800: max, auto, and low. Low is good for hard surfaces and max is ideal for carpets. I have a mix of flooring types in my house, so auto is the way to go for me. It automatically kicks up the power when it senses it’s vacuuming a carpeted area.
The maximum suction is an impressive 2200Pa. The BG700 model Clint uses does a great job with 1600Pa and this model boosts the suction power another 38%.
While the vacuum can run up to 120 minutes in low, it drops to just 40 minutes in max. Keeping the vacuum set to auto will help you get the best combination of extra power when you need it and runtime when you don’t.
Bagotte BG800 robot vacuum cleaner performance review
The Bagotte BG800 has a total suction power of 2,200 Pascals. This is less powerful than most upright vacuums, but more powerful than most robotic vacuums. Your average robotic vacuum has about 1,400 Pascals of suction power, or about 50 percent less. As a result, the BG800 is exceptionally powerful, and suitable for larger messes. For example, you can clean heavily-soiled carpets, even ones with a very deep pile. You can also clean spilled rice and other big, heavy-duty messes.
The BG800 moves in a simple back and forth pattern, similar to how you would vacuum a floor manually. This makes it significantly more efficient than your average robot vacuum, which tend to move in random patterns. You can get more work done in less time, saving both time and energy. You get additional energy savings thanks to the BG800’s automatic suction adjustment. When it’s running on a hard surface like tile, it will automatically run on low suction. When it moves onto a carpet, the suction will automatically turn up to maximum. As a result, you get just the right amount of suction for your needs, without wasting battery power.
Your exact battery life is going to depend on your vacuum’s power setting. In low suction mode, it will operate for about 100 minutes before needing a recharge. In maximum suction mode, you’ll get about 40 minutes of use. On the one hand, this is a bit disappointing, since most robot vacuums run for about 2 hours per charge. On the other hand, it’s to be expected given the powerful motor. The noise will similarly depend on the power setting. On low mode, the BG800 produces 55dB of noise, about equivalent to a normal conversation. Bagotte does not provide a decibel rating for maximum power mode. Suffice it to say that it’s a bit louder, about the same as a small upright vacuum.
Setup and Use
There are three ways of controlling your Bagotte BG800. The first, and most straightforward method, is simply to use the controls on top of the unit. However, this method is somewhat limited. You can basically start and stop the vacuum, and that’s about it.
For more refined control, you’ll want to install the Bagotte app on your phone. This will allow you to perform a variety of different functions. For example, you can switch between different cleaning modes. You can use the default, or “Auto” mode that we already mentioned. You can switch to a random pattern, although we’re not sure why you’d want to do that. You can even set your vacuum to clean edges or for spot cleaning. Keep in mind that for spot cleaning, you’ll need to manually position your vacuum before you start. You can also manually set the suction level. If your carpets are typically only lightly soiled, you can permanently set the power to low to save on batteries.
In addition, the app allows you to set a seven-day cleaning schedule. With a separate schedule for each day, you can customize cleaning to suit your personal lifestyle. You can also monitor the battery status from within the app, and send the vacuum home if needed. With voice control, you can operate your BG800 with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This allows for hands-free control, and offers all the same options as the Bagotte app.
Keep in mind that app and voice assistant control require a wireless connection. The BG800 will only connect to your router’s 2.4 GHz frequency, not its 5 GHz frequency. This is because the 2.4 GHz frequency offers a faster, more powerful signal. On the downside, the 2.4 GHz frequency also has a shorter range than the 5 GHz signal. Depending on your router placement, this may or may not be an issue.
When it’s in operation, the BG800 will remain inside the boundaries set by your magnetic tape. However, if you want it to clean your entire home, that’s not a problem. It has 14 built-in infrared sensors, which allow it to avoid obstacles. It will avoid table legs, stairs, and other obstructions that might otherwise cause damage.
