The ZCWA BR151 is a budget-friendly robot vacuum cleaner designed for hard floor and low-pile carpet cleaning. Part of the ZCWA robot vacuum lineup, this model provides a basic level of automated floor cleaning with minimal smart features.
With a slim profile and low clearance, the BR151 can fit under beds and furniture to reach hidden dust and debris. It utilizes infrared sensors to detect and avoid obstacles as it navigates your home. The vacuum comes with one side brush and a bristle main brush roll for agitating debris.
While it lacks advanced mapping and selectable cleaning modes, the ZCWA BR151 offers a low-cost way to maintain hard floors and thin carpets. If you're seeking an affordable maintenance cleaning companion without all the bells and whistles, the BR151 is worth considering.
The ZCWA BR151 has a round disc shape that's designed to fit under furniture and into corners that regular vacuums struggle to reach. At just 3.15 inches tall, it can squeeze under most beds, dressers, chairs, and tables.
The robot vacuum has a sleek white finish withminimal branding. There are just a few buttons and icons on the top for operating the device. The white color helps it blend into most home decors seamlessly.
With a diameter of 12.6 inches, the BR151 is compact but still packs in strong suction power and decent battery capacity. The dimensions make storage easy as well - it can stand upright in closets or slide under beds when not in use.
Overall, the clean aesthetic and intentionally compact shape allows the BR151 to be an inconspicuous addition to your smart home.
The ZCWA BR151 has numerous features for whole-home cleaning, including:
Powerful Suction - The robot vacuum has 2000Pa strong suction to deeply clean carpets and hard floors. The suction power auto-adjusts depending on floor type for optimized cleaning.
Long Runtime - With a 5200mAh battery, the BR151 can run for up to 150 minutes on a full charge. This allows it to thoroughly clean large homes of up to 2152 sq.ft.
Scheduling & App Control - Through the ZCWA app, you can schedule the robot to clean specific rooms or times. The app also allows monitoring and controlling it remotely.
Self-Charging - When the battery is low, the vacuum will automatically return to its charging base. Once fully recharged, it will resume cleaning where it left off.
Alexa & Google Assistant - You can use voice commands to control and schedule the robot vacuum through Alexa or Google Assistant.
The ZCWA BR151 vacuum excels at cleaning all floor types. It uses strong 2000Pa suction power to thoroughly clean carpets and rugs. The vacuum easily lifts dirt, debris, and pet hair from deep within carpet fibers. Many owners mention how carpets look freshly vacuumed after cleaning.
On bare floors, the powerful suction enables the BR151 to suck up dust and dirt from hardwood, tile, and vinyl. The soft rolling brush under the vacuum grips debris while avoiding scratches. For maximum cleaning ability, activate the vacuum's mopping mode to scrub floors with the built-in water tank and cleaning cloth. This combo leaves hard floors spotless. Customers note just how clean and smudge-free their floors look after the robot finishes.
Pet owners should find the BR151 effective for managing pet hair. The vacuum's strong suction power pulls up embedded pet hair from rugs and carpets. Rubber bristles on the bottom brush then help remove hair that gets tangled and wound around it. The vacuum cleans itself and avoids spreading messy pet hair throughout the home. Multiple owners with shedding pets say the robot keeps floors tidy and hair-free for weeks between deeper cleanings.
The ZCWA BR151 uses advanced laser mapping and navigation technology to methodically clean your floors. It creates a map of your home and uses smart routing algorithms to efficiently clean each room.
The robot vacuum utilizes laser scanning and specialized sensors to map the layout of your home. This mapping data allows the BR151 to methodically clean each room without missing spots or getting stuck. It remembers the home layout and can return to its docking station as needed.
For obstacle avoidance, the BR151 combines bump sensors and infrared sensors to detect and avoid objects in its path. The bumper will cause the robot to change direction if it bumps into furniture. The infrared sensors constantly scan for obstacles and the robot will slow down and maneuver around them. This allows the BR151 to handle clutter and clean around and under furniture without getting stuck.
The advanced navigation of the ZCWA BR151 allows it to thoroughly clean rooms of all shapes and sizes, while avoiding falls down stairs or getting trapped under furniture. The laser mapping and smart obstacle avoidance help ensure a complete clean every time.
The ZCWA BR151 has easy maintenance thanks to its modular design. The dustbin is located at the top of the robot and pops out with the push of a button for quick emptying. It has a capacity of 400ml which is decent for a robot vacuum this size.
The filters are also easily accessible under the dustbin lid. It comes with a primary filter and a high-efficiency filter that traps fine particles. These should be cleaned regularly to keep suction power optimal. The filters can be washed with water but need to dry completely before being reinstalled.
There are two brushes under the bottom cover - a main roller brush and a side brush. The main brush can be removed by pressing tabs and unscrewing caps to cut out tangled hair. Debris tends to accumulate around the bearings so periodic cleaning is recommended. The side brushes can also be easily snapped on and off for cleaning or replacement.
Overall, the ZCWA BR151 makes routine maintenance relatively straightforward for an automated vacuum. The modular bin, filters, and brushes can be accessed and cleaned without much hassle. Just be sure to check and empty the dustbin frequently and keep the filters and brushes clean for best performance.
The ZCWA BR151 is equipped with a three-level adjustable suction system, allowing you to control the noise level based on your needs.
On the lowest suction setting, the vacuum operates at around 58-60 decibels when cleaning hard floors. This is just slightly louder than a normal conversation and unlikely to disturb you.
Medium suction ramps the volume up to around 62-65 decibels, which is comparable to background music. The high suction maxes out at 67-70 decibels when tackling carpets and rugs. This is similar to the noise level inside a typical vehicle.
Overall, the BR151 keeps noise to an acceptable level for regular home use. The adjustable suction allows you to customize the volume based on your household needs.
The ZCWA BR151 vacuum robot comes with a 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery that delivers excellent runtime. On normal cleaning mode, it can run continuously for up to 100 minutes, allowing the robot to thoroughly clean small to medium sized homes on a single charge.
For larger homes, the BR151 may need a mid-cycle recharge to complete cleaning the entire floor area. Fortunately, recharge time is quite fast at 4-6 hours to fully rejuvenate the battery from empty. This allows you to schedule a second cleaning session shortly after the first.
The battery runtime is comparable to other budget robot vacuums in this price range. Overall, the battery capacity is sufficient for most users' daily cleaning needs without having to frequently recharge.
Pros
Cons
The ZCWA BR151 robot vacuum cleaner is a solid mid-range option with decent cleaning performance and navigation. It has strong suction power for picking up dust, debris, and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. The slim profile allows it to get under furniture to clean hidden areas.
The built-in gyroscope navigation system lets the BR151 methodically map and clean open areas of your home. It struggles a bit with mapping large or multi-floor homes, but works well in apartments, studios and small houses with a single level. For the price, the smart features like app control, scheduling, and Alexa compatibility add convenience.
Maintenance is straightforward with easily washable filters and dustbin. Runtime is about 100 minutes which is decent for a robot vacuum in this class. The BR151 operates quietly at around 55-65db.
Overall, the ZCWA BR151 represents a reasonably priced robot vacuum suited for small to medium sized living spaces. It offers consistent daily cleaning and handy smart features. For larger homes or advanced mapping capabilities, consider paying up for a higher-end Roborock or Roomba model. But the BR151 gets the job done if you need an affordable maintenance robot to keep floors tidy.
