HiKiNS Robot Vacuum Cleaner
The smaller-than-average HKS-803US2 is a robot vacuum with two side brushes as well as a brushless suction port to avoid hair tangling and making too much noise, even at the max suction setting.
Surface compatibility
A unique facet of this HiKiNS robot vacuum is that, not only does it do carpets and hard floors, it is also advertised to work on rugs. Other surface compatibility includes hardwood, tiles, laminate, and linoleum. Though, the robot vacuum might not pick up anything bigger than a fruit seed. On the bright side, the dustbin and HEPA filter are conveniently washable.
Different modes
There is an edge cleaning mode for corners that are tough to reach. Besides auto-mode, there is “pointed” cleaning, which is often known as spot cleaning, and it is useful to intensely vacuum high traffic areas.
Movement details
Thanks to infrared sensors, the HKS-803US2 has anti-collision and anti-falling functionalities. In addition, 0.59″ obstacles can supposedly be surpassed at 15 degrees, such as when transitioning between floors and carpets, but this does not always happen flawlessly, and even thresholds half the supposed eligible height may get the bot stuck.
The bot has a universal direction wheel upfront, and its two side drive-wheels are anti-skid. Its low height allows it under furniture, but regardless of its impressive credentials, the HKS-803US2 may get stuck between furniture legs. For the best results, declutter your floors before deploying this bot.
Battery life
The robot vacuum can cover up to 1,000 square feet, meaning roughly three to four rooms per charge, and whenever the battery is low, the robot vacuum redocks to recharge on its own, although it may sometimes die on the way back. The HKS-803US2 is best reserved for something like a studio apartment, especially where deep carpet cleaning is not needed.
Conclusion
For the best results, deploy your HiKiNS HKS-803US2 on a decluttered hard floor without tall thresholds to cross.
