Box contents
Start up
The robot comes partially charged, but It is recommended to fully charge it before using it for the first time..
The Honiture Q6 includes a battery with a large capacity, 5.200 mAh (the usual one in robots in the Xiaomi ecosystem), which provides it with a huge autonomy about 180-200 minutes.
The Self Empty charging base includes a self-emptying system with bag that allows you to forget about emptying the tank for weeks, since the robot will discharge the dirt into this bag.
It is recommended to place the base in a place where the robot has enough room to maneuver (as orientation, one meter to the sides and forward), although thanks to the high precision of its navigation system, this is not strictly necessary, especially towards the sides (perhaps it is more convenient to leave space forward).
The Q6 can be driven in multiple ways, using the buttons at the top, through voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant) and through a mobile app, the latter method being the best to take full advantage of its advanced functions.
Installation and configuration of the app
The app is called HonySmart and is available for iOS and Android. When doing the initial configuration, It is advisable to place both the robot and the mobile phone near the router to facilitate connectivity.
To install the application it will ask us for an email, to which it will send us a verification code that we must enter. Later we can add the device.
Once the app is installed, it will guide us through the installation process, which is simple and intuitive. The Wi-Fi network to connect must be 2,4 GHz, so if your router is dual, you should choose this frequency and not 5 GHz (which will say 5G or something similar).
Through the application we can not only access advanced functions, but also We can control the robot whenever we want and wherever we are: from work, on the street, in a cafeteria, etc., providing us with great versatility.
Honiture Q6 operation
Navigation
The Honiture Q6 has a laser-based navigation system, which provides fluid and efficient movements. The laser is the most precise technology and is therefore used in areas such as engineering, medicine or aeronautics, and allows the robot to map the home in great detail, to cover 100% of the house very quickly.
Laser sensor detail
Your LDS laser turret allows you predictive navigation, anticipating obstacles before reaching them and also moving perfectly in the dark, unlike robots with camera-based navigation.
In addition to the laser sensor, the Q6 has various anti-shock, cliff, wall, etc. sensors. A set of 29 smart sensors that allow fluid and fast navigation.
Precise mapping
Power
The Honiture's motor is a regular in the segment, the efficient Nidec of Japanese origin (common for robots in the Xiaomi ecosystem), brushless, which provides a high performance with low noise level.
Thanks to its powerful engine, the Honiture Q6 achieves a suction power of up to 2.700 Pascals, a figure that places it among the most powerful on the market, allowing you to do excellent work on all types of surfaces.
The Q6 has 3 power levels, which you can configure to your liking to optimize the cleaning result while adjusting the noise and battery life:
As usual in high-end robots, It has automatic turbo on carpets, so that it automatically activates maximum power when it detects that it is on this surface.
Furthermore, thanks to its wheels and suspension system is capable of overcoming obstacles up to 2-2,2 centimeters, so rugs of a certain thickness are not a problem.
Brushes
Although it is common for robots with laser technology to have a single side brush, The Honiture Q6 has two side brushes. Perhaps it is not strictly necessary, because thanks to its advanced navigation technology, the robot always knows where it is, where it has passed and where it has not, but some users prefer it and in any case, it does not hurt.
The central roller combines rubber and bristles to obtain a good result on both hard floors and carpets, and It has good quality, with a notable density of bristles.
Autonomy
Another notable aspect of the Honiture Q6 is its autonomy. Thanks to its huge 5.200 mAh lithium battery, the Honiture Q6 reaches a range of up to 200 minutes, which together with the great efficiency of its movements allows you to clean large surfaces with a single charge.
Furthermore, as is common in high-end robots, has charge and continuation, so if it doesn't finish, it returns to the base and once loaded, resumes cleaning to finish it.
Deposit
The tank has a capacity of 400 milliliters, enough to completely clean a medium or large-sized home, and even more so taking into account that thanks to its suction capacity, the dirt is quite compacted.
In any case, this is not overly important in this case, since The robot has a self-emptying base, so that it discharges the dirt from the tank.
Deposit with the bag inside
The Self-Empty Base
The self-emptying base has a power of 1.000 watts, which allows you to empty the robot when it is placed in it. For a few seconds it makes a noise similar to that of a conventional vacuum cleaner (approximately 75 dB), transferring the dirt to a bag that it includes.
The bag has a good capacity, 3 liters, which allows you to forget about this task for weeks (up to approximately 2 months). The bags are collected very easily, without contact with dust.
The cost of the bags is not excessive, taking into account their size and the comfort and hygiene they provide., and you can purchase them both in packs and as part of a complete set of spare parts.
Scrubbing for a more thorough clean
The Honiture Q6 is a multifunction device, capable of vacuuming and sweeping, so it provides a more complete cleaning solution than other robots.
For this includes a water tank, with a capacity of about 110 milliliters, and a microfiber mop that helps remove dirt from the floor; It also comes with 10 disposable mops that can be useful for very dirty situations in which we prefer to throw away the mop instead of washing it later.
You can configure the water flow to adapt to the level of dirt and the type of soil. The scrubbing result is sufficient for everyday use.. It will not be able to remove the stuck stains, but it can help us keep the house cleaner.
The app, full of advantages
As we anticipated, The best way to manage the robot is through the application, which will allow us to access a lot of features, among others:

Opinions about the Honiture Q6
First of all, create a map of the entire house that you can divide into rooms, and you can see on the map how you go through it. Thanks to its laser system, it navigates quickly and does not collide with furniture. You can adjust the power and when finished, it returns to the base and empties itself. I find it very practical, it works very well.. I can only recommend this robot.
It is a high-quality robot, which can compete with devices from other better-known brands. Functions such as zone or restricted area configuration are intuitive and easy to use. You can also program, configure the language, carpet boost and other issues. When finished, it finds the base and the powder is sucked into the bag. A 5-star robot, with a great quality-price ratio.
Definition of restricted areas
The robot moves very well, when it has space it moves quickly and when there are obstacles it slows down so as not to collide with them. He knows where he has gone and carefully cleans around the legs of tables and chairs. It also handles well getting in and out of places with little space.. The battery lasts a long time, after an hour it has more than 60% left. The suction power is immense and my satisfaction is high, the tiles and laminate look cleaner than ever. A superior device at an unbeatable price.
The king of robot vacuum cleaners, top level. He is like a human being, he scans the whole house and shows the map on the app, you can customize the name of the rooms, customize when it empties into the base, change power levels, and the battery life is incredible. I am very surprised by this new member of the family, it is really worth the money, we couldn't be happier.
The best robot of all time. I have had other robots but none like this Honiture. The noise level is not annoying, at low suction it is quite quiet and works well for what we need, since we have wooden and tile floors and some thin carpets. We are really happy with its efficiency, it cleans precisely and quickly. You can choose which room to clean or clean the entire house. The mapping works well and is very detailed, the app shows with lines where the robot is passing in real time. We highly recommend it.
Moves well in complex areas
A great purchase, I just wish I had bought it sooner. I love the prohibited areas and being able to edit the rooms to clean some more frequently. The battery is incredible, it has never dropped below 50%. It's a great robot.
