Introduction
The DJI Romo P (Robot and Transparent Base) arrives on the market as DJI's proposal in the intelligent home cleaning sector. This robot vacuum and mop combines 25000 Pa of suction power with a rotating mop mopping system, whilst also incorporating advanced navigation technology and a multifunction base that manages both emptying and mop maintenance.
Power and Cleaning System
With 25000 Pa of power, we're looking at an intelligent vacuum prepared for medium-pile carpets and hard floors with ingrained dirt. The main brush is of the anti-tangle split type, a design that considerably reduces the accumulation of long pet hair and human hair, something especially useful in homes with pets. This brush can lift when the robot detects carpets during mopping, avoiding wetting them. The side brushes are extendable and also incorporate a double anti-tangle system, which facilitates sweeping of corners without needing to be constantly cleaning them. In practice, this translates to fewer manual interventions to untangle hair.
Mopping System
The mopping system integrates two rotating mops with 12N pressure, sufficient to eliminate stuck-on stains without needing to pass over the same area several times. The mops can lift to avoid carpets and also extend laterally, reaching skirting boards and edges better where other robots leave an unmopped strip. What's interesting here is that the base not only washes the mops during and after cleaning, but also dries them with hot air, preventing bad odours and bacterial growth. Additionally, the equipment detects the level of dirt both on the mops and on the floor, adjusting the washing process as necessary. The base features two detergent tanks, allowing different products to be used depending on the surface type.
Navigation and Intelligence
Navigation is based on a wide-angle solid-state LiDAR, complemented with an AI camera and a front 3D laser sensor. This combination allows the robot to map the home precisely and dodge obstacles in real time. The camera offers remote access and has LED for night vision, which is practical if you want to supervise cleaning or even monitor the home occasionally. The intelligent AI cleaning system recognises specific stains and adjusts the mopping mode to insist where really necessary, optimising both time and water consumption.
Autonomy and Practical Use
The 5000 mAh battery offers up to 180 minutes of autonomy, sufficient to cover homes of up to 150-180 m² on a single charge, depending on the cleaning mode used. The robot can overcome obstacles up to 20 mm in height, such as thick carpets or thresholds between rooms, without getting stuck. With 351 mm diameter and 98 mm height, it glides under most furniture and sofas without problems. The robot's internal dust bin has a capacity of 260 ml, although in reality it empties automatically into the base after each clean.
Base and Maintenance
The multifunction base manages practically all maintenance. It empties dust into a 2.4 litre bag, washes the mops with water from a 4 litre tank and collects dirty water in another 3.2 litre tank. The washing tray itself self-cleans via a wide nozzle, reducing residue accumulation. It includes UV disinfection for greater hygiene. The base dimensions are 453 mm wide, 440 mm high and 425 mm deep, occupying reasonable space considering all the functions it integrates. It's worth bearing in mind that it doesn't include direct connection to plumbing, so the tanks will need to be filled and emptied manually from time to time.
Conclusion
The DJI Romo P (Robot and Transparent Base) proves a competent option for those seeking a robot mop with complete multifunction base and advanced navigation technology. Especially suitable for homes with pets thanks to its anti-tangle system and for medium-large sized homes requiring regular mopping with minimal manual maintenance.
