Investing in a new robot vacuum is not always an easy task, since there are similar models in the market. From now on, the choice is based on details: Washing yield, maximum suction power or the capabilities of the reception station.
With sound J15 Max UltraThe Eureka brand offers A full and ambitious wash washing vacuum in paper. Sold at the recommended price of 1199 euros, but Available at this time for only 899.99 eurosThis model put our curiosity with its suction power of 22,000 PA and its double extension system. We tried it for a month to verify if it is worth the detour.
A quick and guided installation
The Eureka J15 Max Ultra is Delivered in a unique box which contains everything you need for a quick installation:
- The robot vacuum,
- The reception station and its ramp
- Consumables (traps, side brush, dust bags, etc.)
- THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
If you have never installed a robot vacuum, the manual is useful for being step by step. However, the approach is simple: Simply install the station where you want, fix the ramp and connect everything to the sector. Then, in terms of the Robot vacuum cleaner, It is necessary to install the Eureka application on your smartphoneand follow the instructions to connect the Ultra Internet J15 Max. The whole approach only has a few minutes.
When used for the first time, The Eureka J15 Max Ultra must carry out a cartography of the accommodation. During this stage, not clean and simply “visit” the different parts. During this time, You can put water in your clean water tankand verify that the dust bag is well installed.
This step allowed us to see that Eureka J15 Max Ultra works without detergent : Unlike other models of different brands, therefore, he is happy to clean with clear water. It is not necessarily a defect, since This avoids having to buy the product regularly.
Once the cartography has been completed and the station is supplied, the vacuum is ready to clean.
A robot vacuum that knows how to handle
It is not necessary for much time to identify the operation of the Eureka J15 Max Ultra. With its suction power of 22,000 PA, it captures the vast majority of the rubbleIncluding the heaviest pieces, such as dry mud pieces or the ends of foods that have fallen to the ground, in a single passage.
But the Eureka J15 Max Ultra not only empty: It has a water tank and has two rotating taxi drivers to rub hard floors. In addition, during the MOP installation, we noticed that one of them was based on An extension mechanismin the same way as the side brush. Thanks to the double camera system, the J15 Max can identify different types of liquids, even transparent liquids or coffee splashes in black tiles, something that no other robot vacuum cleaner has succeeded until today.
These mechanisms allow the vacuum cleanerdebris And to clean the points that are closest to the walls, even in the corners of the rooms. The actions carried out by the device are quite fascinating to see: When it detects that it reaches a limited space, it activates the mechanisms, which leads to an extension of the brush and the mop. This allows a really precise cleaning, impossible to perform with a traditional vacuum or a mop without having to kneel to sweep manually.
Where the Eureka J15 Max Ultra is also efficient, it is in the detection of obstacles. We challenge him to spread his cable, shoes or even children’s toys course, to see how he was going to get out of him. AND Not only has it managed to dodge obstacles effectively, but also identified them correctly On the accommodation map.
If you have carpets at home, The Eureka J15 Max Ultra should also provide satisfaction, for several reasons. First, his suction power, already mentioned above, does so totally formidable in carpets. During our test, we attack a very dusty carpet, due to the work done in one of the rooms of the accommodation. The aspirator took the time to clean it at full power, to make it impeccable.
Then, thanks to its very precise sensors, the J15 Max Ultra is able to identify Areas covered with carpet or carpetNot to wet them. Automatically increase its 12 mm MOP For this purpose. But if you want to optimize carpet cleaning, you can also refine the robot configuration within the application: It is remarkably possible to activate an option for carpets to be cleaned first.
Is the Eureka J15 Max Ultra suitable for animal owners?
Dogs and cats tend to lose a lot of hairwhich regularly requires aspirator in the rooms that frequent. For vacuum cleaners, The problem of pets is often a challenge. It remained to see if the Eureka J15 Max Ultra could raise it.
In practice, the vacuum is very good, especially When we are careful to activate the different parameters related to animals. On the accommodation map, it is possible to indicate the places where your dog’s basket or the bowl of your cat is located, so that The Eureka J15 Max Ultra adjusts its power To clean more in depth.
As for hairs harvest, theFlexirazor blades that equip the vacuum brush allow you to strongly limit the risk of tangling When carrying out up to 400 cutting shares per minute. Again, the mobile application allows you to adjust the parameters.
A very complete care station
The cleaning experience offered by the Eureka J15 Max Ultra would not be complete without its reception station. Our first impression had already been quite good during our installation. All this was confirmed in use.
According to our application configuration, The robot vacuum returns every 20 m² cleaned in its station to recharge in water and benefit from express maintenance of its mops. This extends the duration of the cycle, but This guarantees a perfectly clean soil. Then, when his entire cleaning cycle ended, he returns to recharge there. This is where the station realizes Automatic dirty and dust emptyingAnd take care of Clean and dry the mops. Apart from the moment the station transfers the dust to its integrated bag, The process is quite silent.
There is a feature of the station that has many further : The one who ensures The self -limp of the tray under the vacuum. It is a proposal that many manufacturers are not integrated and, nevertheless, in terms of hygiene, it is a real advantage. Indeed, Not everyone has the reflection to clean this placewhich is generally occupied by the vacuum, and that can accumulate a lot of dirt.
In terms of manual maintenance, therefore, there is not much to do. On average, we had to empty the dirty water collector every three cycles for cleaning a 92 m² apartment. It is the same for clean water recharge. After a month of use, The dust bag was far from fullSo we don’t touch it.
Conclusion
The Eureka J15 Max Ultra is a robot vacuum full of promises that, during our test, has all had. It has never been entangled in the cables, it has always been cleaned as close as possible to the walls and systematically respected the various adjustments of the many settings available within its application.
Such as, Eureka provides one of the most complete proposals in the market in terms of cleaning customization. Your reception station offers, on the other hand, A very effective self -limp proposalWhile a compact design is shown. Therefore, there is enough to be very satisfied with the performance of this vacuum robot.
