Airbot Hypersonics Review
From the table above, you can already tell that this is the most powerful of the 3 Airbot models.
But let’s have a more in-depth Airbot Hypersonics 27 kPa review:
This model comes with the coveted dust mite brush. Just what you need to clear dust mites from your mattress and sofa!
The battery capacity may be the same (2200mAh) but this vacuum cleaner uses more power too. Lasting around 30 minutes in auto mode.
A fair tradeoff for the Airbot Hypersonics’ ability to pick up pet fur or hair from the carpet!
When in auto mode, the in-built dust and carpet sensors enable the vacuum cleaner to determine if more power is needed! And adjust accordingly!
Pros:
- Not that much more expensive than the other models
- Fluffy cleaner head attachment has been improved
- Straight flow design
- Battery sensor allows the vacuum to monitor and optimize power usage
- Sophisticated filtration system
- Largest bin capacity
Cons:
- Heavier than the other 2 models
- Quite loud at the highest speed (noisiest model)
Airbot Supersonics Review
The red Airbot Supersonics is still lighter and doesn’t use as much power (Or generate as much heat) as the Hypersonics!
While still providing sufficient power to suck dust and hair from your floor and carpet! Though with some struggle (carpet).
It does have a power mode and in this mode, the battery will only last around 10-15 minutes.
Pros:
- Not as noisy as the Hypersonics
Cons:
- No significant improvement from the iRoom model
Airbot iRoom Review
If your goal is to pick up hair from the floor:
You’ll be able to without switching to the power mode with the purple Airbot iRoom!
And if you inspect the bin container after doing a round of vacuuming, it may surprise you with the amount of dust it can pick up!
All without waking up the light sleepers in the house!
This vacuum glides well and is the lightest of the 3 Airbot models! Lighter even, than the Dyson Slim model (~2.1kg). Plus, the floor brush is rotates smoothly too.
It lasts for 40-45 minutes on normal mode. And 30 minutes on power mode.
Pros:
- Simple to assemble and operate
- Works on carpets too
Cons:
- Does not come with the dust mite head or flexible tube (sold separately)
General Notes On The Airbot Cordless Vacuum Cleaners
- No LED lights on the floor brush
- Easy to assemble and use
- Quality and suction power not as high as the Dyson v11
- Do not stand on their own when you store it (unless you fix the charging base to your wall)
- Non-extendable pole (i.e. too short for taller people)
- You don’t have to press the On button continuously to use these vacuums
- Bin doesn’t open with single-button mechanism
- Replacement HEPA filters are available (Recommend to change every 6 months for better cleaning performance)
Optional Accessories Or Spare Parts
1. Airbot Motorized Dust Mite Brush
Compatible for all 3 models:
The Airbot Motorized Dust Mite Brush comes free with the gold Hypersonics model.
But how much does it cost separately?
RM50.
And it works great! You’ll collect a lot more unseen dust when you’re using this attachment on your Airbot vacuum cleaner!
2. Airbot Flex Tube Optional Spare Parts
You may be able to get this accessory for as low as RM29.
The hose improves the flexibility and reach of the vacuum cleaner even if it’s not that long!
3. Airbot Care Protection Plan Extra 1 Year Warranty
For an additional RM80, you can extend the existing warranty for an extra year! The warranty applies to the electronic components of the vacuums.
So it’s not for:
- Cosmetic damage
- Mechanical damage
- Battery degradation
This includes free technical support too! Where you can receive guidance on troubleshooting your vacuum. Or for more serious problems, arrange to send it for repair.
You can only buy this plan together in the same order with an Airbot product (Only the Supersonics, iRoom, or Hypersonics vacuum cleaners). And the warranty will cover that respective product.
Airbot Vacuum Review – Final Verdict
Airbot vacuums are here to stay in Malaysia!
Because even if the suction power of the new Airbot Hypersonics can’t yet compete with the Dyson v-series:
These Airbot vacuums are still great for daily cleaning, small homes and apartments, and the occasional spot cleaning! And cost so much less!
Thus, they are great entry products for a cordless vacuum cleaner! Go for the Airbot iRoom model if you want an incredibly lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner!
