Brushes & wheels

The underside of the vacuum is pretty simple. It has all of the typical things you’d find on most other robot vacuums including:

  • Spinning brushes (one on each side): used to capture dirt and debris from edges and corners and pulls it into the cleaning path of the Robocist
  • Brushroll: located in the middle of the vacuum and uses a dual-design of soft spiral bristles and a rubberized sweeper blade to pull debris from the floor into the dust bin
  • Directional wheela smaller directional wheel at the front of the vacuum is used to steer and turn the vacuum as it navigates the space
  • Navigational wheelstwo large wheels on either side of the brushroll help navigate across varying floor types, adjusting suction as needed.
  • Charging contact plates: two small plates on either side of the directional wheel ensures that the vacuum is charging properly when it returns to the docking station

Robocist 850 robot vacuum performance reviews

We tested performance on three different floor types (hardwoods, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet) and against a mix of debris, including cereal, rice, sugar, and kitty litter.

Cleaning performance on the Robocist R850 was reasonably good. It was more successful at cleaning hardwood floors and struggled a bit with fine debris on carpet.

  • Overall 90%
  • High Pile 85%
  • Low Pile 88%
  • Hardwood 98%

Note that all of our tests were on MAX suction mode.

Cleaning Hardwoods

On hardwood floors, the R850 robot did a nearly flawless job. It left a little debris in the corners, but otherwise, performance was excellent.
