iRova KK8 Robotic Vacuum Review


Having a hectic work schedule and long working hours during the weekdays had cause me to be so tired by the time I reach home at night. A basic house chore like sweeping the floor is such a struggle. I have been considering getting a robotic vacuum cleaner to at least keep the floor clean till the weekends so that I can mop the floor with water.
After I did some research on various robotic vacuum cleaners in the market, the good ones are really expensive. Prices range from RM1000 to RM3000. These are from major brands such as iRobot, Samsung, LG, Neato and etc. I couldn't bring myself to spend more than RM1000 for a device to just sweep the floor for me but I did found out that there are those OEM robotic vacuum cleaners from China that got re-badged and sold in Malaysia which the prices range from RM200 to RM1000. Price ranges depends on the features of the robotic vacuum cleaners. After going through Youtube videos and customers feedbacks, I narrow down my choice to a robotic vacuum cleaner sold in Lazada with many good reviews. This particular robotic vacuum cleaner is iRova KK8 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner.
