1. About Yunjing
zouzou has two cats at home, and the house is relatively large. Daily ground cleaning is inseparable from robots. It is impossible to clean it yourself, and it is better for the cat to lie down flat.
has used many robots at home, but Yunjing's mopping effect has always made my wife and I unable to let go, so naturally it has become Yunjing's nail owner:
From Yunjing J1's amazing mopping effect + automatic cleaning of mopping, to Yunjing J2's automatic loading and draining, liberation of both hands
I also tailored the balcony cabinet for it on the balcony, and it also affected many friends around me: my friends also chose Yunjing, and reserved a place and loading and draining during decoration. Recently, when talking about the decoration of the party, Yunjing has received a lot of praise, and mopping the floor is clean.
Now that Yunjing J3 is released, what surprises will it bring to everyone? As the first batch of users, zouzou also brings you the most comprehensive and objective user experience as possible, so that you can buy and refer to it.
2. Upgrade and characteristics of Yunjing J3
If the previous generation Yunjing J2 was upgraded and improved on J1, then Yunjing J3 gave me the feeling that Yunjing combined the advantages and disadvantages of the previous two generations to redesign and create a more comprehensive and useful robot. Let me show you below:
1. Base station
First of all, Yunjing J3 gave people the first impression of external materials and technology, presenting a more advanced texture.
and some humanized facilities have been added: for example, the base station has added grooves that are conveniently lifted on both sides, and the flip support has damping , which are not available in the previous generation.
I believe that friends who want to put a robot base station into the cabinet like zouzou will care more about the base station size:
According to official data, the base station size of Yunjing J3 is only slightly larger than J2.
From the actual situation, as long as the original cabinet size is not just right, it can be placed and replaced, which is more friendly to new and old users.
base station naturally inherits the advantages of J2 base station, and supports automatic loading and draining of water and automatic addition of detergents. The material and structure of the clean water sewage tank have been adjusted accordingly.
base station back cover opens and you can see the reserved port for water supply and drainage. Now the water supply and drainage parts are very mature and the installation is very simple (the official has a supporting door-to-door installation service, and it is not impossible to do it yourself). My Yunjing J2 has been using the water supply and drainage for so long without any problems.
Yunjing J3 base station's biggest change this time comes from this large screen, which is not only more convenient to operate, but also has more intuitive and outstanding display effects.
system is smoother and more manual, which is better if the menu supports loop scrolling.
More detailed settings can be selected through the menu down, of course, it is generally only possible to set it on the mobile app.
Another major change is that the pallets of the base station have the original detachable pallet + brush manually cleaned, and it has been changed to a double-layer detachable pallet, so that you only need to remove it and clean it, and there is no longer the need for a brush to possess it and brush the base station.
In fact, there are quite a few changes inside the base station. The water outlet and sewage outlet have been adjusted and optimized, and the hot air drying effect has also become better.
2. Robot
In addition to the appearance texture mentioned above, the layout of the robot part has also been adjusted with the changes in functions.
You can see from the bottom of the robot that the layout of Yunjing J3 robot has changed: First, the original mop on the front end is moved to the back end and two side brushes are added, then the main roller brush for sweeping the floor is added in the middle, and finally a floor recognition is set up on the front end.
It can be seen that the robot has become a sweeping and mopping robot, and no longer needs to manually replace the sweeping and mopping modules like before. It also strengthens the ability to clean the floor. Not only does it add a main roller brush with bristles, greatly improving the cleaning ability of the floor gaps, and with the suction force of up to 3000pa, it has a significant change compared to the previous generation. In addition, the main brush also supports active lifting, making the corresponding mode cleaner better and effectively avoid secondary pollution to the ground.
mop still maintains the original rotating and pressurized mopping method. The mop is made of pure cotton + cotton and polyester composite material, and the mopping effect is still outstanding among many robots.
Yunjing J3 also optimized and upgraded the mopping function while maintaining the original advantages: the mop also supports lifting, and there is no need to worry about the robot causing pollution during the process of cleaning the mop back to the base station; and the downforce is also optimized for different floor materials, so the tiles are cleaner and can also protect the wooden floor well.
You can see that the mop will not touch the floor at all on the way back.
Yunjing J3's dust box has also been redesigned, which also makes my eyes shine. I will show it to you later.
3.APP
Intelligent robots generally need to be connected to the Internet before using them. This time, Yunjing J3 has also been optimized for the networking experience, so there is no need to turn on the robot separately like most robots. The base station will automatically activate the robot and quickly pair it to complete the networking.
In addition to this time, the speed and accuracy of the drawing construction have also improved. For example, my family completed the drawing construction of the whole house in just about 9 minutes.
map supports room, restricted areas and material management. For example, my balcony kitchen is tiled, and the rest is covered with wooden floors. The floor material management is managed. The tiles are better cleaned through changes in downforce and can also protect the floor well. However, the management of multiple maps is not supported at the moment. Cloud whale can only clean one floor such as leap floor and villa. In the detailed settings of
, you can personalize or adjust the carpet cleaning, corner cleaning frequency, obstacle-surfing enhancement, drying strength, backwashing frequency and other functions. The functions are relatively complete, and no missing functions have been found in use.
Daily usage interface is relatively simple. For daily maintenance at home, you only need to select "Elf Hosting". You can choose the room to be hosted, and if you don't choose, it is whole-house hosting. Of course, you can also choose custom cleaning. Yunjing J3 supports four modes: sweeping first and then mopping, sweeping and mopping at the same time, pure sweeping and pure sweeping, and supports choosing the number of sweeping times and velocity.
elves hosting is a very useful function for lazy people like me. Usually, click on the start or select the room to clean and click to start cleaning. It will automatically clean the floor of the home according to the situation.
The entire process is quite intelligent. After cleaning is completed, a detailed cleaning report (including pictures and videos) will be provided to facilitate the review of the cleaning status.
For example, it can recognize that the floor of my study is dirty, so it will clean it twice for the study.
whole house hosting elf is carried out in a sweeping and mopping mode. At the same time, it will twist and mop when encountering edges. Not only will the mopping effect on the edges be better, but it can also try to minimize blind spots.
The second time I came to the room, I used a pure mopping mode to automatically clean the study.
One-time whole-house hosting footprint box can collect so much cat hair and garbage, so I don’t need to say more about the cleaning effect.
3. Yunjing J3 user experience
1. Cleaning ability
What is inevitable about raising cats is that cat hair is everywhere in the house, and a box of new cat hair is collected on the new day.
It is worth mentioning that Yunjing J3's dust box design. I remember that there is no dust box with such an excellent design. It not only has a larger capacity, but also makes garbage dumping more convenient and does not dirty hands. Just press the purple button to clear the dust box, and it can be easily done in two seconds.
In addition, I sprinkled some cat litter on the balcony to simulate the usual situation of cat litter flying everywhere.
Yunjing J3's cleaning ability has indeed been upgraded compared to J2. Although it is inevitable that there will be some knock-offs, it is enough to meet the long sweeping task.
Sweep and dribbling mode is more efficient, and it is the basic state of hosting. Let’s test the more commonly used effect of sweeping and dribbling:
You can find that the rotation of the mop can effectively gather debris to the main brush, which feels better than pure sweeping. There is no twisting and dragging along the edge here because it is less than 7 days since the last elves hosting, so it is just ordinary dragging and sweeping.
Then the mop follows directly, and the whole floor looks bright. A new look.
In addition, during the cleaning process, the side brush will also adjust and shrink according to the direction to reduce unnecessary knockouts, and the overall effect is satisfactory.
2.Battery & Water Use
Now Yunjing J3 has a variety of functions, which is indeed a big challenge to the robot's battery life. Let's briefly test its limiting battery life.
Try it first and sweep first and then drag it:
If I scan the whole house and then drag it again, it will take about 3 hours.
You can see that after the sweeping floor is finished, about 67% of the power is left, and about 38% of the power is left after the mopping floor is finished. However, I did not open the study room for him. If it was opened, the power might be close to 20%, which is basically sufficient.
The same water tank has about 2 cleaning mop remaining, and the battery life is basically the same as the water tank capacity.
Then look at Whale Spirit Hosting:
The Whale Spirit Hosting used the next day for testing. You can see that the kitchen and study are dirty, so they dragged it out after sweeping and mopping. This also caused a small part of the living room to be cleaned and the battery was insufficient, so they needed to go home to charge.
However, the charging speed is relatively fast. When the battery charge reaches about 38%, the remaining part will continue to be completed. The final water tank is as follows, and there is about 1 remaining amount of water for such a mop cleaning.
It can be seen that Yunjing J3 is relatively power-consuming for edge cleaning. After all, twisting and mopping at all edges and secondary mopping in some rooms. If your home is larger, I personally recommend choosing the default 7 days for the "corner cleaning frequency", so that Yunjing does not need to strengthen the cleaning of the edges every time, so that it can ensure sufficient battery life.
3. Other
During use, although Yunjing J3 has been upgraded in function, it still maintains the quietness of the previous two generations, and the noise of the powerful sweeping floor is basically controlled within 55. The noise level is also similar in the sweep and side-drag mode.
will only cause a certain noise when cleaning the mop. However, the base station is generally not set in the bedroom, and even if the robot comes out to work at night, it will not have any impact. The drying process is quite quiet.
Thanks to the drying design and optimization, the drying effect of these two generations of cloud whales has been obvious recently. Choose the default intelligent drying mode. After a few hours, the mop has no moisture left.
So there is no need for additional operations after the sweeping robot mops the floor. The base station will dry it, so the mop does not have to worry about deterioration and smell.
4. Purchase suggestions
Yunjing J3 has many advantages and upgrades. If you want to find the shortcomings, I think it is still a pity for the lack of active obstacle avoidance. I usually withdraw the data cable before cleaning, and in some cases, I can only detect it by touching it lightly, which has some impact on path planning and cleaning efficiency.
In addition, many brands are promoting the automatic dust collection function of base stations. Yunjing's base station size is not small, but does not have automatic dust collection, which may be inconvenient for some friends. However, automatic dust collection also has its own problems, such as high dust collection noise, the inability to use the main brush of the robot, the air duct to hide pollution, and the cost of use, so this is also a pro and con, everyone chooses as needed.
is different from automatic integration. Automatic watering and watering is very practical and easy to use. I strongly recommend that you have to go to the home if you have the conditions, and try to create conditions if you don’t have the conditions.
After all, it is not as easy as dust boxes dumping. If there is no automatic loading and draining, the sewage management is relatively troublesome: every time the robot is used, it is necessary to fill up clean water. There may be insufficient clean water during use, and the sewage needs to be dumped in time during cleaning or the end...
However, from some platforms, it can be seen that the automatic loading and draining parts of Yunjing J3 and Yunjing J2 are not universal, and the J3 device is a bit expensive. I hope that Double 11 can have more discounts.
In general, Yunjing J3 can be said to be a brand new and comprehensive sweeping robot. Whether it is sweeping, mopping, or using interaction, there are many optimizations and improvements in the user experience. For nail users with Yunjing J1 and J2 at home, you can also choose to upgrade. Friends who do not have Yunjing at home recommend choosing J3 as much as possible.
