- Roborock has launched the H60 Stick VAC, with Auto-Tom Dock Opportunity
- Features include a flexible rod, laser headlights and powerful suction
- Expected to be available in the US, UK, AU and other places; Pricing TBC
Roborock is currently best known for its robot vacuum, but Word has reached my ears that a new Manual Stick VAC series is set to participate in the range of the brand and it seems to be an amalgamation of all the most popular features from today’s best wireless vacuum.
There are six models in the new lineup: H60, H60 Pro and H60 Ultra Standalone Vacuums (each with higher specifications than the last one), all three are also available as ‘hub’ versions with an extra auto-empty dock.
Let’s look at the special features offered. First up, the rod can be released to bend forward to 90 degrees, so you can clean the right under furniture without having to get down on the floor – even if the guy in the press pictures has decided to do it anyway. This is a feature that is closely associated with the best shark wakuum. It seems that it only appears on the non-hub models-for reasons I will explain for a second-and has the extra bonus to allow you to fold up the vacuum for more compact storage.
At the end of business you will find a floor head equipped with a light green light. This is designed to create large shadows on any dust or dirt that lurks on the floor that may otherwise miss. Dyson popularized this feature, and so far, other brands’ headlight efforts have not failed to match in terms of efficiency (and most have avoided the green color, perhaps to avoid appearing too similar to the original). However, Roborock’s wide, angled light beam actually looks very promising.
Super storage
Perhaps the most striking addition here is the Auto-Tom Laddok, which is included in the H60-Hub vacuum. The pop vacuum on the dock and everything in its trash can Whoosh in a larger dust bag in the base – this is sealed and has a capacity of either 2L or 3L depending on which model you are looking for. The auto-empty process here is complete in an ultra-speed 10 seconds.
Roborock has made vacuum travertelescopic so the quay doesn’t have to be awkwardly high (I assume it also makes it impossible to incorporate the forward mechanism missing on the hub models). Conveniently, the brand has also added detailed tool storage to the hub, so everything is in the same place.
Auto-Tomme Dokker is very common with robotic wacuum and gradually begins to appear at the upper end of the manual vacuum cleaner market. So far, it is mainly HAJ that embraces the trend, although Samsung’s Premium VACs also have auto-empty docks.
In addition to keeping VAC charged and ready to go at all times, the dock removes the need for messy and regular manual emptying. This means that brands can get away with a slightly smaller dustcope on board – which in turn means a lighter and more streamlined vacuum in general. (I don’t have dust capacity or weight information for the H60 series yet.)
Back to basic
It’s not all bells and whistles; The basics also look very solid. On the top-of-the-range H60 Ultra model, there is a maximum of 210aw of suction-not completely up there with the best Dyson vacuums that are nevertheless 280AW, but nonetheless decent. T.
Here is also a promised 90 minute cleaning on a single charge with Ultra, which is up with the longest operating times on the market. It seems that the battery is removable to allow you to extend operating times with hot-swapping to a backup battery.
Elsewhere, there is a promising look of detailed tools, and a thorough five-stage filtration system to make sure the air is kicked out on the back of the vacuum is as clean as possible.
I am a big fan of Roborock’s other cleaning gadgets – the brand repeatedly grows up in my guide to the best robot wacuum, and it also contains the best wet and dry vacuum on the market. I’m excited to see if it can impress so much with its manual models.
I am also fascinated by knowing what kind of price points we are looking at. We are easy on details here – my fire contact told me that although the H60 series VACS is expected to be sold in a number of territories, including in the US, UK and Australia, no price information is currently available.
I know they’re being positioned as ‘premium’, but pricing varies wildly at this end of the market-SHARK’S FANCIEST MODEL (The PowerDetect Cordless) is a black-of affordable $ 429.99 / £ 499.99, While Dyson’s Top-end Gen5Detect is Bespoke Ai Jet Ultra Comes In AT A EYE-WATERING $ 1,099.99 / £ 1,199.99 (at least at list price). Where will Roborock place his offers?
