Philips Homerun, comes another robot vacuum cleaner to compete for domestic cleaning

On the market and we have excellent domestic robot vacuum cleaners. First came the iRobot Roomba, then came Korean alternative paths, the Hom-Bot LG and Samsung Navibot. Philips now is that this ring is up to the Philips robotic Homerun. Very similar to other automated vacuum cleaners have seen, the Philips Homerun also integrates multiple cameras and sensors (up to 20, according to the Dutch) to map the house.

Philips has also equipped with software that makes systematic mapping, finding an obstacle, walk several times the boundary a short distance to speed up the cleaning up. In the last showroom Philips, the operation of the Homerun did not seem very different from the Roomba or Navibot. It does seem a little less erratic and more thorough than Samsung and LG models when making his rounds.

What seems unique HomeRun is its ability to 'jump'. The vacuum has several modes of operation. In the carpet mode, the Homerun can clean surfaces with fibers such as two inches in height. As you step onto the carpet, the Homerun is able to pull himself over cables and obstacles up to 1.5 cm in height.

Although we could not watch her during the time enough to do an analysis in the time that if you saw quite effectively prevented the cables laid him on his way to bad temper. The HomeRun takes an hour to clean about forty square meters. Your deposit is quite generous and can accumulate up to 0.6 liters.

The vacuum cleaner is programmable from the remote control. Philips has said that its software will be updated periodically. A USB connection allows the introduction of new software patches. The Homerun Philips will be released in April at a price of 549 euros.
