How is the difference Conga 2090 Vision of others Conga
As we have already anticipated, la Conga 2090 Vision is part of the new 2000 Series of Conga, characterized by its navigation system based on a 360º camera. Later we will explain in detail how this technology works.
The main differences of the 2090 Vision compared to its range sisters, the Conga 2290 Panoramic and Conga 2490 Landscape, is that the BestFriend Care special pet brush is optional. In addition, both the 2090 and 2290 also have as an option the exclusive tank for solids and the remote control, while the top of the range, the 2490 includes everything as standard, in addition to being compatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
With the birth of this new 2000 Series, many buyers may have doubts about which Series of Conga comprar.
It is not a simple matter, but Below we show you a comparative table with several alternatives that operate in a narrow price range, approximately 40 euros., which include the Conga 1690 Pro, the current top of the range of the 1000 Series, the components of the 2000 Series and the Conga 3090, belonging to the Cecotec 3000 Series, with laser navigation:
The 360º camera, the novelty of the range Conga
As we indicated, the Conga The 2000 Series have a navigation system based on a 360º camera. This device, unlike others (but like, for example, the Dyson 360 Eye) allows the robot to have a peripheral vision of the environment at all times, which makes it easier for the robot to understand it.
Thanks to this, the Conga 2090 moves in an orderly and fluid manner. The system is predictive, since it allows the robot to anticipate obstacles or possible problems that may be encountered, In any direction.
In this way, camera-based technology is positioned as something intermediate between gyroscope-based navigation, which also allows orderly navigation, thanks to its "digital compass" and laser-based, the most advanced and precise, used by robots of the 3000 series and above.
Commissioning of the Conga 2090
As usual, It is advisable to carry out a long-term charge before starting to work with the robot. Once this is done (you can leave it overnight, for example), you can start working.
The charging base will be located in a preferably central place in the house, and in an area where the robot has enough room to maneuver (advisably, one meter of space to the sides and two in front, although it is not essential. ).
To start cleaning, we can start the robot using the button at the top or by voice commands, although It will be through the app how we will get the most out of this excellent robot.
To do this, we will install the app Conga 2090, available for iOS and Android, and we will create an account if we do not have one. The installation process is very simple, you simply have to follow the instructions that the robot itself comes with, or those provided by the app, step by step.
When setting up the connection for the first time, it is recommended that the robot be close to the router to facilitate the connection.
Operation of the Conga 2090 Vision
As we have indicated, the Conga The 2000 series are equipped with a navigation system based on a 360º camera as a novelty for the brand.
Thanks to this technology, the 2090 Vision performs a complete mapping of the home, identifying any obstacles it may have, in any direction.
Thus, achieves fluid and efficient navigation, finishing in less time, and completing 100% of the surface to be cleaned.
Furthermore, as happens with the high-end robots of this brand, with laser navigation, The map that is generated is interactive, so we can interact with it, which allows greater versatility, defining, for example, specific cleanings or intelligent area cleanings.
La Conga 2090 is part of the new generation of ultra-powerful robots from Cecotec. With 2.700 Pascals of suction power, it equals the power of some of its higher-end siblings., like the 3690 or 4090.
With this Powerful suction capacity, 35% higher than some of the competition's high-end robots (which double or even triple the price of the robot we are analyzing today), the Conga 2090 does an excellent job on all types of surfaces.
The level of autonomy of the robot is considerable, since it is around 160 minutes. In this way, and also thanks to its navigation efficiency, it is capable of cleaning a medium-sized home without problems.
And if your home is large, don't worry! Thanks to Total Surface technology, the Conga 2090 will return to its base and once charged, it will resume cleaning where it left off..
When it comes to cleaning carpets, the 2090 also does an excellent job, thanks to its enormous suction power. Furthermore, as is usual for the brand, it is capable of exceeding up to 2 centimeters in height, so carpets of a certain thickness are not a problem.
Using the app
As we indicated, to get the most out of the robot you have to use the application.
Once the app is installed Conga 2090, you will need to create an account and configure the robot connection.
If your router is dual, that is, if you have two networks, one 2,4 GHz and one 5 GHz, keep in mind that you must choose the 2,4 GHz one (the 5 GHz one will have 5G or similar).
Through the app, you can define with a high level of detail the type of cleaning you want. The power level, the water flow or the cleaning mode, for example.
Accounts with 3 power levels and 3 scrubbing levels, in addition to 10 modes, which we explain in detail in the next section.
In addition, you can program the robot to perform the tasks you want on the days and times you decide. This way, you will always find your house clean. In programming, you can also define issues such as power or water flow when scrubbing, for example.
Cleaning modes
La Conga 2090 has 10 cleaning modes, in addition to 3 power levels and 3 scrubbing levels, so you can define the cleaning of the home to your liking:
Auto mode: In auto mode, The robot will go through the entire home, in an orderly manner, thanks to its 360-degree camera and its advanced software, which allows it to cover 100% of the surface to be cleaned, without leaving any corners.; and if she is not able to finish, she will return to base and, once recharged, continue cleaning where she left off.
Edges: When you want clean those areas where dirt usually accumulates, this mode is ideal.
Spiral: A common cleaning mode in most devices; The robot will clean by drawing a spiral of concentric circles, increasingly wider. It's perfect when we drop something and it scatters.
Manual: When we want to move the robot to another room, instead of carrying it by hand, we can direct it using the arrows, as if it were a remote-controlled car.
Returning home: Of course, the robot returns home when it is running out of battery, or when it has finished its work; nevertheless, If we want to send it to the base manually, we can do it, using this mode. It is the same function as the button with the house, on the top of the device.
Twice: If we need a higher degree of cleaning or there is an area that is very dirty, using this mode, the robot will make several passes.
Scrubbing: The most advanced scrubbing technology, superior to competing robots. The movement of the robot and the combination between its electronic dosing and the dual-material mop manage to remove dirt and achieve a better result.
Smart area: If what we want is to clean a small area or a room, this mode is perfect.
Punctual: For places where dirt is concentrated, we can send the robot there from the app.
Random: If you wish clean a room more thoroughly, you can use this mode, in which the robot, in addition to straight lines, will also make diagonal routes, so that nothing is missed.
Mopping and scrubbing, marking the differences
Like others Conga, The 2090 includes a mop and the ability to scrub, so it brings together four functions in a single device: sweeps, vacuums, mops and scrubs; And what's more, it can do all four at the same time, unlike some competing robots.
Although many users do not, in principle, seek this functionality, it should be noted that The inclusion of the mop already represents an interesting advantage in cleaning hard floors., since it allows dirt to be effectively trapped, especially if it is stuck.
If we moisten the mop with a specific spray for this type of task, we will also achieve a shiny floor.
Moreover, Having the mopping option allows you to carry out a more complete cleaning of the home with a single device. The Conga 2090 has a water tank with enough capacity to clean large surfaces, thanks to the excellent dosage it provides.
In addition, you have 3 scrubbing levels, thanks to its electronic dosing system, so that you can establish the water flow depending on your cleaning needs: Low, for light cleaning, for example, on varnished wooden floors; Medium, for everyday use; o High, when a deeper cleaning is needed, for example, in the kitchen.
The water you can add a little floor cleaner without non-corrosive foam, in an approximate proportion of 10 milliliters per 100 of water, which will give you cleaner floors and a scented environment.
The scrubbing system Conga It is one of the best—if not the best—that exists in the world of multifunction robots.. The Conga 2090 does a good job in this regard, leaving the floors quite clean. It may not be as effective at cleaning as a person, and it may not be able to remove stubborn dirt, but it is more than enough for daily cleaning.
