Verdict

The H.Koenig SWR28 is an intelligent 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop designed for hard floors and short-haired carpets, featuring a dual-brush system (one central and two side brushes), a built-in UV sterilization lamp, a 0.4-liter bagless dust container, and a HEPA filtration system. Its main pros include an automated weekly programming schedule for up to 7 distinct cleaning cycles, a touch-sensitive LCD control panel with an included remote control, obstacle and cliff-detection sensors, a virtual wall barrier to restrict access, and up to 90 minutes of continuous runtime with an automatic return to its stationary charging base. On the downside, the device lacks smart Wi-Fi connectivity or mapping capabilities, requires a relatively long 3 to 5-hour charging time, and is restricted by a modest 0.4-liter capacity that limits its use in larger households.
