The Spanish brand Cecotec has been competing face to face in the Spanish market for some years with iRobot, the manufacturer of Roomba.
In 2017, its models Conga Excellence and Excellence were a hit, thanks to a successful combination of features and price.
In 2018, the presentation of its new range represented significant progress. Maintaining prices similar to those of its previous range, the quality and performance of the robots were increased, managing to raise its quality-price ratio even further.
In addition, They launched their first robots with intelligent navigation on the market, gyro-based in the mid-range (Conga 1190, 1290 and 1390) and by laser in what at that time was the top of the range, the Conga 3090.
The Valencian company remains immersed in a process of continuous improvement, so that in 2019 they continue to perfect their products and/or launching new robots on the market that respond to user needs.
As part of the renewal of its range, it has brought to market a lot of new features:
has completed the series 1000 with the models Conga 1490 Impulse, 1590 Active y 1690 Pro.
Has presented the new series 2000, which incorporates the models Conga 2090 Vision, 2290 Panoramic and 2490 Landscape.
Has added 3 more models to the series 3000, Congas 3290 Titanium, 3490 Elite and 3690 Absolute.
It has inaugurated the 4000 Series, with the launch of the Conga 4090.
It has created the most powerful robot, by far, on the market, the impressive Conga 5090, which gives rise to the new 5000 Series.

In this comparison, we present only the new Congas that meet these requirements: manageable via app and ultra-powerful.
As ultra-powerful robots, we include those that have at least 2.000 Pascals of power (a figure in which some of the most powerful high-end robots from other brands are located). Therefore, these robots Conga They stand above the competition.
In addition to those we include here, other Conga Like this year's 1490 and 1590, they are also connectable and have a notable power of 1.400 Pascals, but in this comparison we have preferred to include only those robots that stand out, the most powerful on the market.
Ultimately, the chosen ones are the Conga 5090, which with 8.000 Pascals of maximum power is beyond any possible comparison, since it multiplies by four other high-end competitors.
The Conga 4090, 3690, 2490, 2290, 2090 and 1690, which have 2.700 Pascals, 35% more than the most powerful competitors.
The Conga 3490 and 3290, which with 2.300 Pascals, are 15% of the most powerful models from other brands.
La Conga 3090, the brand's first robot with laser navigation, a best-seller that is still very popular with its 2.000 Pascals.
And, if you want to see the comparison of models feature by feature, you can go to the end of the article.
Conga, why are robots ultra-powerful
The Conga Presented in 2018, already from the 950 model, they share a high suction power, 1.400 Pascals, which places them in the medium-high part of the classification in this section. Both Conga 1390 like the Conga 1090 Connected reach 1.400 Pascals in its Turbo mode.
La Conga 3090 even set the bar higher, with 2.000 Pascals, positioning itself—at the time of its launch—as the most powerful robot vacuum cleaner (along with some others) on the market.
In 2019, the bar has been raised even higher. The Conga 3290 and 3490 reach 2.300 Pascals, while those of the 2000 Series (2090, 2290 and 2490), the 3690, 4090 and 1690 raise the figure even further, up to an impressive 2.700 Pascals, 35% more than the models most powerful of the competition.
And if that were not enough, Cecotec has presented the Conga 5090, a cyclonic super robot with nothing more and nothing less than 8.000 Pascals, an incomparable power, which no other competitor comes close to.
Conga They are ultra-powerful robots. The average power of its range is very high and, in addition, it has some of the most powerful robots on the market. If you want suction power, please choose one Conga.
In addition, All models in this comparison have turbo mode on carpets, so that they automatically increase the power when they detect that they are on one, for greater effectiveness on this type of surface.
Connectable robots
The Conga of this comparison share the characteristic of being connectable to Wi-Fi, so that they can be managed through an app on the mobile. Thanks to this possibility, controlling the robot is very comfortable and, in addition, it can be put to work at any time and from anywhere.
Whether we are at work, in a cafe, on the street or wherever, we simply need to have an Internet connection on our mobile, and we can give orders to the robot immediately.
Thanks to management through the app, we have more configuration options; For example, it is possible, when programming them, to choose the power or scrubbing level, or the cleaning mode (it is possible that in future updates of the app, this will also be included in the other two models, but it is not Something secure).
In addition, these new generation robots are also compatible with the virtual assistants Alexa and Google Home., so that they can be managed, in their basic sections, through voice commands. The Conga 3090 has also added this possibility in one of its software updates. Greater comfort, impossible.
The most sophisticated, such as the 3290, the 3490, the 3690, the 4090 and the 5090, also have other functionalities, such as the possibility of saving up to 5 maps, cleaning by room, establishing cleaning plans, etc.
Conga, 4-in-1 multifunction robots
One of the hallmarks of Cecotec devices is that they are 4-in-1, multifunction robots., capable of vacuuming, sweeping, mopping and scrubbing and, what's more, they are able to do everything at the same time.
Many of the robots on the market only sweep and vacuum. The inclusion of mopping and scrubbing offers several advantages when cleaning our house.
Even if we don't want a robot to mop, the mop is very useful when it comes to effectively capturing dust and leaving our floors brighter..
Conga It is "the robot that scrubs", and all the robots in this comparison share this characteristic. However, and although it works effectively in all of them, and they all have the new generation Twin Floor mop, there are some differences in the mopping system of these robots.
La Conga 3090 was the first robot of the brand that incorporated the most advanced scrubbing system, called Scrubbing, which allows the robot to perform a back-and-forth movement., like what people do when washing.
La Conga It will draw a palm-shaped movement, back and forth, making it more effective in scrubbing. On the other hand, the 3090 does not have different scrubbing levels, and its tank is smaller, 170-180 milliliters.
The rest of the robots in this comparison, both the superior alternatives, from the 3290 onwards, as well as the members of the 2000 Series and the 1690, the top of the range of the 1000 series, combine the best of both alternatives.. It has electronic dosing and 3 scrubbing levels. Its water tank has a capacity of about 200 milliliters, and it has the sophisticated Scrubbing scrubbing system.
Homes with pets
The high suction power of the Conga, together with its rotating brush and its effective filtering system, makes these robots ideal for homes with pets.
But If you want maximum comfort and efficiency, the best option is to opt for one of the recently released ones..
La Conga 3490 Elite, 3690 Absolute, 4090, 5090, 2290, 2490 and 1690 Pro incorporate, in addition to the usual brush, which combines bristles and silicone, the BestFriend Care, the rubber brush that largely prevents hair tangles, and is extremely effective on carpets.
Furthermore, in the case of Conga 4090 and 5090 also include another brush, the Jalisco, ideal for cleaning hard floors, where it is three times more effective.
On the other hand, as is usual in Conga, Its noise level is not very high, less than 64 decibels, so that it will not be bothersome to you, your neighbors, or your favorite animals.
Navigation system
There are various navigation systems that provide the robot with greater or lesser effectiveness and efficiency when cleaning, depending on its sophistication.
Brianda Conga connectable, we have a quite varied representation; From lowest to highest degree of precision:
La Conga 1690 Pro has intelligent navigation, based on gyroscope. The gyroscope is a kind of digital compass, which allows the robot to orient itself and build a map of the home. In this way, the robot draws large straight lines and travels throughout the home, reaching 100% of the surface to be cleaned.
The Conga The 3000, 4000 and 5000 series have the most advanced system, based on laser. The laser maps the house predictively, with a range of up to 8 meters, so that the robot moves fluidly and builds the map very precisely.
In addition, save the map (save up to 5 maps, except the 3090, which saves 1), which allows you to interact with it, to be able to determine areas to clean, restricted areas, which the robot will not access, etc.
Price
Logically, we have a wide range of prices in this range of Congas manageable through an app, depending on the features they offer.
Depending on the offers, between 200 and 300 we can get both the advanced Conga 3090 like the powerful 1690 Pro. Meanwhile, the top of the range, such as the 3490, the 3690 or the 4090, are located on a higher step, according to their features, which can be around 400 euros, and the super powerful Conga 5090 would be around 600 euros.
Range of Conga manageable through app
In conclusion, you currently have a wide variety of connectable and ultra-powerful robots from Conga. Do you have one with systematic cleaning, Conga 1690, and others with the most advanced laser navigation system, such as the Conga 3090, the 3290, the Conga 3490, the 3690, the 4090 and the 5090.
Regarding connectivity, all are controllable through the app and through voice commands.
By power, all of them are very powerful and do an excellent job; the Conga 3090 reaches 2.000 Pascals, The 3290 and 3490 reach up to 2.300 Pascals, the 3690, 4090 and 1690 set the bar at 2.700 Pascals of suction power, while the almighty 5090 plays in another league, reaching 8.000 Pascals..
Regarding the scrubbing system, all of them scrub very well, since They have Scrubbing technology, which imitates human movement. All the robots in the comparison also have 3 scrubbing levels, except the 3090, which only has one.
Regarding prices (or according to the quality-price ratio, or price-performance), it is interesting to see what interests each one.
Eg Conga 3090 came on the market about nine months before its sisters. Due to this and the offers that may be available, It is possible to find it on many occasions at more competitive prices. that Conga more modern.
Below, we show you a comparative table of the Conga ultra-powerful connectable.
Note: If you are on a mobile device and want to see the table showing the robots in columns, side by side, you can make it horizontal.
