Thanks to Philips for sending this Philips SmartPro Active Robot Vacuum Cleaner (FC8822\/01)<\/a> for review. With our hectic lifestyle, a robot vacuum cleaner can really help us to become a little lazy. Don’t you think so?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my criteria for robot vacuum is definitely the ease of use. I really don’t want to go through a thick manual to get it to work because basically, you just need someone (or something) to clean the house or room, right?<\/p>\n

Other criteria include\u00a0good battery life, cleaning efficiency and automatic docking (to charge up).<\/p>\n

Looking through at the specs of this Philips\u00a0SmartPro Active Robot Vacuum Cleaner, it has all the basic features that I wanted.<\/p>\n

                      However, as a savvy consumer, you know that specs are just specs. What is important is the actual performance of this robot vacuum cleaner.<\/p>\n

                      Here is my review of the Philips SmartPro Active Robot Vacuum Cleaner FC8822\/01<\/p>\n

                      First Impression<\/h2>\n

                      It is very basic. If you look around, you know that many other brands are having cameras on board to map the house, determine the best way to clean it.<\/p>\n

                      This robot vacuum cleaner has none of these. Instead, it uses the good old sensors and programs (4 cleaning modes) to find its way.<\/p>\n

                      Sometimes less is more. Price-wise, it is affordable (in my opinion). Check out my unboxing video.<\/p>\n
