Conga 1090 Series, a powerful robot vacuum cleaner for those who have pets

The new range of robots presented by Cecotec includes several models to take into account: from the powerful Conga 3090, possibly the best robot vacuum cleaner on the market, until this Conga Series 1090, especially for those homes that have pets.

Cecotec has done it again, and with this robot it gives you more for less. This is because the Conga 1090 went on the market with the same price that the best-seller previously had Conga Excellence 990, the best-selling robot in Spain.

Conga 1090 series: valuation

La Conga Series 1090 obtains 93 rating points out of 100. It is a device that maintains some of the characteristics that made the Excellence 990 a great success, such as being a 4-in-1 robot, being silent, having great autonomy, etc.

But it also has an elegant and renewed black tempered glass design., it is more powerful, has more advanced navigation software, includes a HEPA filter to achieve a purer environment, and incorporates a special brush to collect pet hair.

Now, you have the new connected version of this robot, the Conga 1090 Connected, more manageable and configurable.

Below we show you the differences between these two robots:

Box contents

Commissioning of the Conga 1090

As always, Before starting it, it is advisable to charge it for a minimum of 12 hours (this is for the first use, then about 3-4 hours will be enough).

The charging base must be supported on a wall, and in a place where the robot has enough room to maneuver and to detect the base (approximately, there should be 1 meter towards each side of the base and 2 meters forward).

Once the robot is loaded, it can be activated using the button on its top or through the remote control. With this, you can also choose the different cleaning modes that the robot has, to adapt its work to what suits us best at all times. In any case, by default the automatic mode is activated, which runs through the entire room in an apparently random pattern.

Operation of the Conga series 1090

La Conga Series 1090 has a similar operation to the Excellence 990, so highly valued by its users. Of course, it is a 4-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner, which means it sweeps, vacuums, mops and scrubs. And, also, unlike other robots on the market, it can do all four things at the same time.

Its 2 side brushes trap dirt towards the center, where its rotating central brush—now composed of two materials, bristles and silicone, for greater efficiency— He picks it up and directs it towards the interior of the robot.

Its powerful motor (which now reaches 1.400 Pascals of suction power, a figure that few robots achieve today) does the rest. The waste tank now has a capacity of 500 milliliters, compared to the 300 that the Excellence range had, so it has to be emptied fewer times.

Thanks to its filtering system, composed of a HEPA filter and a filter mesh, dirt is kept inside, achieving a cleaner environment.

If we have animals, the Conga Series 1090 can be of great help, thanks to its Animal Care technology. The robot incorporates a silicone brush specially designed to catch pet hair, and is soft and quiet enough not to disturb people or animals..

The 1090 has 3 power levels: Eco mode, for superficial cleaning, normal mode, for daily cleaning, without giving up power, and turbo mode, in which it reaches 1.400 Pascals, for more thorough cleaning.

The carpets are another of the strong points of this robot. Not only because of its great suction power, but also because it incorporates the Turbo Clean Carpet mode, which activates the Turbo automatically when it detects that it is on a carpet, maximizing its effectiveness.

Furthermore, the Conga 1090 is capable of lifting carpets up to 2 centimeters thick, something that many competing robots are not capable of doing, making it a great help in homes that have thick carpets.

Programmable

By supuesto, Conga 1090 is programmable. Programming is done easily from the remote control, being able to put it on at any time of the day, 7 days a week. This way, if you wish, you can program the robot to work when you are not at home, and when you return, you will always find your home clean.

You can see how it is done in this video:

Conga, the robot that scrubs

La Conga 1090, like its sisters, is capable of vacuuming, sweeping, mopping and scrubbing. When we first tested this capability, we were a little skeptical as to how effective a robot could be in this area. There were many robot vacuum cleaners, but… scrubbing too? The Conga Excellence 990 showed us that good work could be done in this regard.

Now, with the renewal of its range, Cecotec has given another twist, to achieve greater efficiency. That's why, la Conga Series 1090 incorporates a two-material mop, which manages to better trap dirt and guarantee better results on all types of surfaces..

Its intelligent scrubbing system with solenoid valve achieves a perfect water dosage, so that it wets the soil slightly, without flooding. To achieve a better result, the robot incorporates the Circle Start system, which begins navigation by making concentric circles to soak the mop evenly. In addition, the size of the tank has also been increased, from 300 to 400 milliliters, to achieve greater scrubbing autonomy.

If we add a little floor cleaner to the water (very little, keep in mind that the tank has a much smaller capacity than a bucket), we will leave our house clean and scented.

The robot, unlike some of the competition, can mop and vacuum at the same time, since the liquid tank has a section for solids.

For varnished wooden floors, you can only use the mop, with great results. The robot will vacuum and wipe its two-material microfiber mop, achieving a clean and shiny floor. If you lightly moisten the cloth with a specific mop spray, the parquet will look (almost) like new..

Cleaning modes

La Conga Series 1090 has 5 cleaning modes, so we can choose the one that best suits us:

Automatic: It is the default mode, which is activated when you press the button on the top of the robot, or the play button on the remote control (or when it is programmed).

Edges mode: This mode is perfect for collecting dirt that usually accumulates in edges and corners.

Room mode: It's one of our favorites. It is ideal for cleaning a specific room; We leave it locked in it, and with this mode, it will clean it exhaustively for about 20-30 minutes, stopping then.

Spiral: A classic mode of most robot vacuum cleaners. When the dirt is concentrated in a specific area, or if we have dropped something and it has been scattered. The robot will spiral around the point at which we activate this mode.

Return Home: This mode is automatically activated when the robot is finishing cleaning or when the battery is running low. During its return to the base, the robot will clean any traces of dirt that may be left along the way. This mode can also be activated manually from the remote control.

Advantages of Conga series 1090

Drawbacks

It is difficult to find fault with this new Cecotec model, since it offers a large number of advantages at a very competitive price. Perhaps one could cite as a drawback—precisely, derived from that contained price—that it does not have a home mapping system, which provides more orderly navigation (an issue that Cecotec has included in its range starting with Series 1190 and , above all, in the impressive Conga 3090 series, with laser mapping).

Guarantee

The Spanish robot Conga Series 1090 includes a 2-year warranty, and has technical service in our country (and in our language), which represents an advantage over other competing robots, of Chinese origin.

Maintenance

It is advisable to clean the central brush, the side brushes and the HEPA filter (not washable) after each cleaning cycle, for better robot performance. To clean the brush, you can use the included tool, using the blade to cut the hairs, so you can remove them more easily.

Every 6 months (depending on the frequency of use) it is advisable to thoroughly check the brushes and filter to verify if they need to be changed. Spare parts can be purchased directly on the official website.

It is also advisable to clean the sensors and wheels, to avoid elements that could hinder the normal navigation of the robot.

Opinions on the Conga 1090

It is ideal if you have animals. I had the Excellence 990 and bought this to try out the new roller. Very good, I gave the old one to a relative.

It's amazing, I had one Conga of the old ones and I was delighted, this one has left me speechless. The suction has improved a lot and the new brush is amazing, there is practically no hair left.

I had an old model, but This one is better, it is excellent. Very happy.

I was a little skeptical about cleaning with the mop, but I was pleasantly surprised, it is a great discovery. It may not remove the worst stains, but gives the floor a very nice shine. The animal hair brush is also very useful.
