iLife V8s vs A9 vs A9s vs A10s vs A10 what’s the difference?

Some of these iLife cleaning robots are dry vacuum cleaners, such as the A9, whereas some can vacuum and mop, such as the V8s and A10 mop.

iLife A9 vs A10 what’s the difference?

There are some big differences between the iLife A9 and A10 robotic floor cleaners.
The A10 is a much more “smarter” robot. It has several features that the A9 does not have.

Mapping
This is one of the biggest differences.
Both of them has mapping feature, however, the A9 can only create a real time map that shows you where it have cleaned, it does not save the map, and you cannot use the map to command the robot to do customized cleaning.
On the other side, the A10 can not only build up a real-time map, but also save the map for further customized use, and it can map up to three floors.
Schedule Cleaning
The A9 can only be scheduled to clean all the rooms per circle, whereas the A10 allows you to schedule it to clean specific rooms or area at different times as you want, such as cleaning room one at 8:00 and room two at 10:00.
Boundary
The A9 comes with an ElectroWall which is a device that creates a virtual barrier whereas the A10 does not use the ElectroWall, it allows you to set up virtual barriers in the App which is more convenient.
If you have multiple no-go areas, then you will have to buy additional ElectroWalls when using the A9.
A10, on the other hand, gives you complete control via the App without the need of using the ElectroWall. This saves you money, time and effort.
Auto Boost
The A10 allows you to circle out specific areas which needs deeper cleaning in the App. It will automatically increase suction power in these localized areas.
Whereas the A9 does not have this feature.
Max Suction Power
The A9 generates up to 1000Pa suction whereas the A10 doubles the max suction to 2000Pa to pick up debris and particles from hard floors to low-medium pile carpets.
Navigation
The A9 uses gyroscope + camera navigation whereas the A10 uses gyroscope + laser navigation which enhances cleaning efficiency.
Function
The A9 is a dry vacuum only, it’s not designed with a water tank. Whereas the A10 can be used with a water tank for mopping. However, the A10 does not include the water tank, if you need the mopping, you will need to buy the water tank and mopping cloth, or buy the A10 mop model.

iLife A9 vs A9s what’s the difference?
The A9s as well as A10s are models sold outside the USA.
The A9s is a bit different from the A9.
The A9s has mopping feature whereas the A9 does not.
The A9s comes with a bristle brush for carpet and a rubber brush for hard floor whereas the A9 comes with a 2-in-1 brush instead.

iLife A10 vs A10s what’s the difference?
The A10s includes the water tank and mopping cloth whereas the A10 does not. If you need the mopping feature, you should buy the A10s.

iLife V8s vs A9 what’s the difference?

The V8s has no main roller brush, it’s designed with floors with pet hair in mind. And it has mopping mode.
Whereas the V9 has a main roller which does a better job on low pile carpets. However, it does not mop.
The A9 adds a camera to the navigation system to improve cleaning efficiency, whereas the V8s uses only gyro navigation.
The A9 supports WiFi and App control, it will generate a map that shows you the areas it have cleaned whereas the V8s does not.
The A9 comes with an ElectroWall that creates an invisible boundary while the V8s has no virtual walls available.
The A9 can resume where it left off after automatic recharging whereas the V8s does not.

P.S.
The 2-in-1 robots can vacuum / mop, however, they cannot vacuum and mop at the same time. When vacuuming, you have to install the dust bin; when mopping, you have to install the water tank and mopping cloth. And they cannot be used to clean your carpets/rugs.

iLife Shinebot W400 vs W400S vs W450 vs W455 what’s the difference?

1 Reply

When we write this short article, the iLife has 4 floor washing robot models, the Shinebot W400, W400s, W450 and W455. These 4 hard floor cleaning robots can be divided into two groups.
The W400 and W400s are similar to each other whereas the W450 and W455 are similar. There are some big difference between these two groups.

Difference Between iLife Shinebot W400 and W400s:
iLife W400s is an upgrade of iLife W400, its software has been upgraded when compared with W400, and it comes with a bottle of hard floor cleanser which the W400 does not include. Otherwise, they are the same.

Difference Between iLife Shinebot W450 and W455:
The iLife W455 has a silver top whereas the W450 has a black top. The W450 comes with a bottle of hard floor cleanser while the W455 does not.
According to customer support, these two machines have similar performance, but the W455 has stronger and more efficient cleaning ability compared to W450.
Otherwise, these two are almost the same.

Difference Between iLife Shinebot W400/W400s and W450/W455:
The two groups have some big difference. The W450/W455 are upgraded models of the W400/W400s, they are “smarter”.

What’s New?
The W450/W455 are equiped with PanoView Camera that improves navigation accuracy and avoid missing areas needs cleaning.
The W450/W455 support WiFi which allows users to control the robots via smartphone App.
The W450/W455 have more cleaning settings to customize to fit different cleaning needs. You can control the amount of water released, the brush roller speed, the moving speed of the robots, how many times (up to 3 times) you want the robots to clean or dry the floor, and you can also draw in the app to have the robots to wash a specific area for more quick and efficient cleaning.
Cleaning Modes
The W400/W400s have 4 modes: Path, Area, Spot, Edge.
while the W450/W455 have 3 modes: Path, Area, Spot.
Battery
The W400/W400s have a 2500mAh battery pack, the charging time is less than 300 minutes whereas the W450/W455 have a 2900mAh battery pack, it’s charging time is less than 380 minutes. It seems no much difference on the working time.
Hard Floor Cleanser
The W400s and W450 come with a bottle of hard floor Cleanser whereas the other two do not include.

Similarities:

These robots can only be used on hard floors, such as laminate, tile, and hardwood floors; they cannot mop carpet/rugs; and they do not dry vacuum.
Tidalpower Cleaning System
The robots will moisten and scrub the floor, suction up dirty water, and then scrape residues.
Separate Dirty/Clean Water Tank
All of them have separate clean water tank that holds up to 0.85L and dirty water tank that have capacity of 0.9L.
Charging Type
They are not self charging robots, they will not automatically go back to the charging dock to recharge when the battery is low or when the job done. So, you will have to manually take them to the charging dock for recharging.
Anti Collision & Anti Fall
Just like most of the cleaning robots on the market, these iLife hard floor mopping robots feature Anti Collision sensors to stop them from crashing into obstacles & Anti Fall sensors to prevent them from falling down steps.
No Barrier Kits
All of them do not include nor support magnetic strips or “virtual wall” or similar boundary kits to stop them from entering restricted areas.
Schedule Cleaning
They do not allow you to schedule cleaning time.

Have 2 steam intensity settings: Low Steam for cleaning delicate surfaces and light everyday messes; High Steam for cleaning durable surfaces, tough stains and stuck-on or sticky messes.
Steam will be ready in 30 seconds, heat up to over 200 degrees.
