Neabot NoMo N2 robot vacuum: Solid two-in-one robot workhorse for daily cleaning
I experienced superior hopes of the Neabot NoMo N2 following examining Neabot’s to start with foray into robot vacuums in June 2020. I was also blown away by the effectiveness and model of the NoMo Q11 when I reviewed it in June 2021.
My to start with perception on opening the box was that it seems to be like the Neabot NoMo 2 has absent back to its layout roots and has not created on the futuristic layout of its predecessor.
On acquiring the robot out of the box, I found a reasonably normal car-vacant station and the robot vacuum by itself. The car-vacant station seems to be extremely related to the Ultenic T10 that I appeared at in July 2021 with a digital exhibit on the station.
The Neabot NoMo N2 is a wonderful-seeking robot with a LiDAR bump on the leading of the device and obstacle avoidance which operates perfectly. It operates with Google Assistant and Alexa.
The device has a sweeping brush on one side and a roller brush beneath the device. It comes with a mop pad that can be fitted to the robot’s 250ml drinking water tank so it will sweep and mop at the similar time. Make sure to clean the mopping fabric every single time you use the robot so that you do not mop the floor with a soiled fabric.
The NoMo N2 is reasonably effective with a most suction electric power of 2700Pa. Even at most electric power, the robot is quiet. It will car increase when it encounters carpets and will cross most thresholds among rooms.
Its 5200mAh battery will past for up to a hundred and fifty minutes on quiet manner. When I ran it on max manner to clean my carpeted spots, I in all probability got about forty five-50 minutes of vacuuming just before the device necessary to go back to the charging dock.
The NoMo N2 has a 300ml on-board dust box and a 2.8l bag in its car-vacant station which did not need to have to be emptied at all for the duration of the three weeks the robot was in use.
Now the tough aspect — I experienced substantial difficulties connecting the robot to the app. I have reviewed all around forty five of these robot vacuums, and most have apps, so I have a superior plan of how they join to my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi community.
This vacuum does not use the outstanding Neabot residence app that I used to join to the Q11. It instead utilizes the Neabot app, which bundles all of the robots alongside one another.
I experienced troubles from the start. The app necessary an e-mail tackle to sign up, so even while I experienced an account on Neabot residence, I experienced to sign up all over again.
The app sends a confirmation code to the specified e-mail tackle, but following ready for an hour for the confirmation code to my .co.british isles e-mail tackle, I gave up and used a generic gmail.com tackle to get the code necessary to log on efficiently.
When I picked the NoMo N2 robot, the app asked that I turned on area products and services — even while I experienced enabled all area products and services on my cell device.
I nevertheless could not join to the app. I contacted Neabot who sent me an up-to-date .apk file to download, which did rapidly join to the app, followed by a notification about the up-to-date app in the app shop a pair of days later on.
I suspect that this would not have took place so rapidly experienced I not been examining the robot. A buyer who obtained the device and contacted support with the similar concern might have experienced a for a longer time wait around for a resolution.
I was annoyed about the necessity for area products and services. I should not have to share my geographical area in purchase to pair my robot to Wi-Fi.
This is really intrusive and unneeded. It begs the problem of why area accuracy is important to use an app.
Certainly the nation of use would be sufficient, and as I like to flip my area products and services off except if precisely applying an app that requirements it, I resent owning to flip it on just to clean the home.
In use, the app is moderately superior — even though the graphic of my floor place was skewed from upright and I could not transform this. This meant that placing no-go spots was instead tricky.
The robot also did not recognise the unique rooms in the home — even while there is a threshold among every single home and one of the rooms in the ‘Room one area’ is entirely carpeted. Yet another robot I am at present striving recognised all rooms on its to start with go.
The robot thoroughly sweeps the space and can constantly uncover its way back to the charging station. I can vacant it rapidly and proficiently. Mopping is reasonable, even though I like to wet the mopping pad just before I start the robot on a mopping cycle.
All in all, for below $four hundred the Neabot NoMo N2 is a wonderful mid-priced two-in-one sweeping and mopping robot with a reasonable app and straightforward administration capabilities.
Right up until the conclude of December 2021, there is an extra ten% off coupon if you use the code NEABOTN2 on the Amazon web site, and there is a sale far too at Neabot’s formal link.
Nevertheless for me, the need to have for my geographical area with all area products and services enabled just to join the robot to the app has been a substantial turnoff, and I will be happy to put this area-hungry robot back into its box.
