Editorial note

The iRobot Roomba 521 stands out for its optimized cleaning performance, ensuring a clean and healthy environment thanks to its bagless dust collection system. Its modern design in gray and white, combined with a round shape, adds a touch of elegance to your interior while remaining functional. The hybrid nickel-metal (NiMH) battery of 3000 mAh offers extended use, ideal for daily cleaning, and its weight of 4 kg makes it easy to handle. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of a HEPA filtration system can be problematic for allergy sufferers or those sensitive to fine particles. Additionally, while the battery capacity is adequate for regular use, it may not be sufficient for large areas, thus requiring frequent recharges. The bagless dust container also requires regular cleaning, which can be unpleasant for some users. Finally, the absence of advanced features, such as Wi-Fi connectivity or compatibility with voice assistants, limits the integration of the Roomba 521 into modern smart homes. Despite these limitations, iRobot's reputation for quality and innovation ensures an overall positive user experience.
