My current robot vacuum is the iRobot Roomba 895, it’s getting a bit long in the tooth now but still works well and comes from one of the market leaders in the field. Technology has moved on rapidly with robovacs becoming increasingly commonplace, better engineered and better specified all the time. So I was keen to give this budget priced newcomer a try, particularly since it incorporates some of the latest and most up to date vacuum technology.

The Z50 vacuums on hard and carpeted floors and will also wipe clean suitable surfaces using the built-in water tank and mop. It can be operated with the supplied remote control, using an app on your smartphone or by voice with Alexa, Siri or Google. It has a suction level of up to 3000pa, which is pretty near the top end of the scale for roboVacs, with three levels of suction power manually selectable. It connects by wifi to your router and can be fully integrated into your home ecosystem using the Tuya Smart or Smart Life apps. There is also a dedicated ZooZee app which supports the more expensive Z70 model but not this one, so far as I am aware. I use the Smart Life app to control my Z50 and it recognised and connected to it the first time and fully integrates into the smart network. It works well with Amazon Alexa and using the Alexa app I was able to control it easily by voice and write simple routines to give more detailed control. For example, I was able to write a script that detects when I leave the house which tells the Z50 to start cleaning, with another script to detect when I was returning and instruct the Z50 to return to base.

It comes with a full sized remote control and this can be used to initiate automatic cleaning as well as to cancel a job and order the vacuum back to recharge. It can also be used to start particular cleaning modes or when using the navigation buttons, direct the vac to a specific area and vary the cleaning power level. This also works for floor mopping too. Pushing the arrow button on the Z50 top plate will also begin automatic cleaning or return it to the base.

It can operate in fully automatic mode in which the vac navigates the floor itself in back and forth patterns varying the suction power needed according to the specific floor conditions with the main brush and two side brushes delivering debris into the 0.6L bin with a replaceable HEPA filter to keep the extruded air clean. Using the app the progress of the cleaning routine can be monitored as the vac uploads the location data, although this model does not have the LiDAR found on the Z70 needed for detailed mapping. In addition to auto mode, there are specific modes for edge and spot cleaning which can be initiated using the remote control or app.

For floor mopping there is a separate 400ml water tank with a smaller debris bin that replaces the standard bin and this comes with a mopping cloth fixed by velcro to the base with a spare included in the box. The wet surface cleaning works well enough but again is not designed for heavy duty work but it will clean up mild stains, dust and spillage and give an attractive sheen to your bathroom or kitchen floor.

Like all robovacs, it works best on hard dry surfaces and again like all robot vacs it is not designed for deep cleaning work - this is not a Dyson - but is best left to clean up the general dust and debris found on the floor at the end of the day. We set ours to run every morning on a timer, it starts up at 8 am and scoots around the floor picking up the crumbs, fluff and dog hairs left from the previous day and when done returns to the charging base ready for the next day.

The general floor cleaning works very well and is superior in operation to our Roomba 895 with the 60db motor noise being about the same.

This is a fairly new company and so it remains to be seen just how well and for how long this product will be supported. A comprehensive and inexpensive spares kit is currently available which contains multiple replacement brushes and filters and so I would advise buying this now to ensure the maximum working life of the product

Compared to my old Roomba 895 the Z50 is more powerful, smarter, easier to use and at the current price, greatly discounted from the already low £299.99 RRP, a bargain indeed.
