SPC Baamba Gyro 4.0 is a robot vacuum cleaner with Alexa and Google Assistant

Robot vacuum cleaners are increasingly present In today's market, they help us to carry out an always unpleasant task, that of sweeping and vacuuming the home. This is very important to avoid allergies, and almost essential in homes with pets such as dogs and cats. That's why simplifying these tasks through technology is a great way to cope.

We have in our hands the Baamba Gyro 4.0, a robot vacuum cleaner from SPC compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, which also has an application for Android. We are going to analyze in depth this new device that will make cleaning tasks at home easier. By the way, it is also capable of wiping the wet mop on the floor, which is great.

As always, we recommend that you watch the video If what you want is to know what all the vacuuming and scrubbing capabilities of this device are, however, here we are going to leave you rather its technical specifications such as powers, autonomies and basic settings. Without further delay, we will proceed to tell you everything that it includes, but do not forget to leave a Like and share the video if you liked it. You can take a look at this Amazon link.

Technical specifications of the Baamba Gyro 4.0

As we said, In principle we are going to take a light tour of the technical specifications that SPC itself has provided us to share with you. It should be noted that we have not obtained important details such as the suction power, data that we would like to have had and that we invite you to share with us if you know them.

Materials and design of the robot vacuum cleaner

In this case we find a device that has classic dimensions, 42 x 49,5 x 13,5 cm so we should not find problems for its navigation, it is clear that it does not fit under the sofa or most beds, but it does not pose problems, neither its around 4 Kg of weight in total. In addition, we like that in the upper part they have decided to place an anodized aluminum plate that will facilitate the cleaning task, in many cases the brands opt for glossy black plastics that not only accumulate dust everywhere with each cleaning, they tend to get damaged and scratched when we try to clean the dust off them. Without a doubt, although aluminum does not seem the most beautiful, it is the most practical (and resistant of course).

• Size: 42 x 49,5 x 13,5 cm
• Weight: 4 Kg

It only has a button at the top that has an LED that informs us in orange, green and red about the status of the device, inside the CLEAN button that helps us to make it work manually. In the lower part we have the turning wheel, two cushioned wheels that overcome steps, the central brush and the two brushes on the sides, which are placed by means of a screw.so they're not too easy to replace, although your screwdriver and spares are diligently packed into the device box. In short, we find a device that has not wanted to innovate in this aspect, that is, in design tasks, and that has many parts identical to the iLife and Rowenta products in the same family of cleaning robots.

Cleaning details and box contents

This robot vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter inside. that will help us to keep the algae at bay, this is much appreciated, as well as the central brush, for which they include a rake with a cutting profile to be able to get rid of the hair that wraps around it and makes it lose enough sweeping power. Thanks to this brush that precedes the suction system we will be able to use the SPC Baamba Gyro 4.0 almost on any surface within the home. For its part, the microfiber mop fits into the lower part of the garbage container by means of a system of tabs, just as it is filled from the opposite side, so in principle we do not suffer from problems of water spillage.

• Robot device
• 4x side cleaning brushes
• HEPA filter
• Brush for self-cleaning the robot
• Microfiber mop
• charging station
• Screwdriver
• Fuente de alimentación
• Manual

This is how we can start to use the cleaning modes it has. We emphasize that all of them will have to be used through the SPC IoT application, since the device does not have a control knob. We have spiral cleaning for open areas, cleaning of equines in a concrete way to eliminate any type of accumulated debris, and a Snake mode that creates an intelligent route to optimize cleaning through three phases in which it descales, lifts and vacuums dust (in addition to passing the mop if we have added it) according to the brand. We have verified that this intelligent system is the most effective when cleaning if what we want is not to waste too much time and take advantage of the device's performance.

It also has a system Extra Power Brush PRO, which basically takes into account the central rotating brush, personally, vacuums that do not have this central rotating brush are not an option for me, and sadly there are still quite a few on the market. This is important especially because if we do not brush the floor, it is not the most convenient to proceed with the past of the mop since it can get very dirty and the result will not be ideal. For its part, the Navigation 3.0 It is composed of LED sensors to identify unevenness, furniture and carpets to adjust the cleaning to the different floors.

Compatibility with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFFTT and much more

Above all, this vacuum cleaner attends to a concept that we do not understand, how it is no longer present in other similar devices. It is true that is compatible with Alexa and much more, but all this is thanks to the SPC IoT application that we can download for free in the compatible application stores. Within the application we will be able to synchronize the vacuum cleaner easily by following the following steps:

1. We turn on the vacuum cleaner and leave the LED in a fixed red position
2. We leave the vacuum button pressed for about 5s until it turns yellow flashing
3. We go to the SPC IoT application and proceed to "add device"
4. It will be synchronized automatically and we will be able to manage it

Now we just have to add the management services and with a simple "Alexa vacuums the house", it will start working. However, I want to emphasize that we have found some problem in the synchronization with the typical Movistar HGU router, although not with any other connection system. Definitely this application and this type of synchronization is very welcome in a product with these characteristics, it is without a doubt, what makes it something brilliant. However, it seems daring to me to completely go over adding a classic remote control with which to manage the vacuum cleaner (although it works with a single button).

Use experience and cleaning results

When I use the SPC Baamba Gyro 4.0 It does not have a notable suction power, rather enough for standard use, supported by the central brush that covers the lack of suction power, so for standard floors and even for areas with lint and animals it has given satisfactory results if we compare it with Rowenta and iLife vacuum cleaners to give an example in the same price range. For its part, the mop system is sufficient but it is still a simple addition that will never replace the mop, although it gives good results on parquet, the same cannot be said for slabs or vinyl flooring where it tends to be uneven. I strongly recommend using only fully aqueous cleaning products (no gels or waxes) to avoid uneven distribution of water.

For its part, makes a contained noise, but not less than other vacuum cleaners. Of course, it is not at all annoying or bulky. Cushioned wheel system very reliably avoids steps and carpets, where I have also found a more than good performance. Regarding autonomy, it gives us little less than those 120 minutes that the firm promises, and in my uses they have been between 100 and 110 minutes of autonomy, after which it enters low-power mode while searching for its easily found charging port.

Editor's opinion

Worst

 

The worst thing about this device is that does not include an analog remote for times when, for example, we do not have an internet connection, or if, for example, we have a fairly large house in which the WiFi connection tends to get lost in certain areas, where the SPC IoT application will suffer. The suction power is also a memorable thing to offer an overall deeper clean.

Best

Integration with Alexa, Google Assistant and other systems is really good and efficient, honestly more brands should jump on the bandwagon of this idea. Another favorable point is that we are not facing an expensive product, you can get it from 241 to put an example in this Amazon link. I also liked that they have used aluminum in the upper part and that it has a central brush.
