HONITURE G20 PRO Review: A Practical Robot Vacuum with Strong Suction

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that doesn't break the bank but still offers a lot of features, the HONITURE G20 PRO might catch your eye. It's got that 4500Pa suction power, which sounds impressive, and the ability to mop, making it a 3-in-1 cleaning device. I decided to give this little guy a shot for a couple of weeks to see if it lives up to the claims.

When you first unbox the G20 PRO, you'll notice it comes with a decently comprehensive package. You get the charging dock, water tank, a few spare parts like the HEPA filter and mop cloth, and even a remote control. All the basics are covered, so you won't find yourself running to the store anytime soon for extras.

My first impression was that it's pretty straightforward to set up. The app was a bit fiddly at first, but once that was sorted, I was able to pair it with Alexa and get it running on a schedule. Having the option to control it via an app or voice commands is a major convenience, especially when I'm too lazy to get off the couch.

Let's dive into what it's really like to use this vacuum on a daily basis and see if it holds up in the long run.

When considering the price point of the HONITURE G20 PRO, it offers a lot of features for the money. The suction power and mopping capability at this price range are impressive. Many competitors offer similar features at a higher cost, so you do get pretty solid value here.

The build quality is decent, and it includes extras that some other brands charge for. The ability to control it with an app and through Alexa adds to its versatility, making it fit well into a smart home setup. These features give it an edge over some older or more basic models.

On the downside, while it offers good performance, it’s not perfect. The mopping feature needs improvement, and navigation isn’t flawless. If these factors are critical for you, it might be worth considering spending a bit more on a higher-end model.

In terms of bang for your buck, if you’re looking for a functional robot vacuum with a few extras, the G20 PRO is worth considering. Just keep your expectations realistic given its price bracket.

The G20 PRO boasts a runtime of around 150 minutes on a full charge, which is pretty decent. In practice, at standard suction levels, it did last close to that, cleaning most of my apartment on a single charge. When it needs to recharge, it finds its way back to the dock without much fuss, which I appreciated.

However, if you're using the maximum suction power or combining vacuuming with mopping, expect the battery to drain faster. I noticed it needed to recharge before finishing the larger jobs when using higher settings. For most average-sized homes, the battery life should be adequate for completing a full cleaning cycle.

Charging from empty takes a while, around 4-5 hours to get back to full. So, if it runs out mid-clean, you’ll need to plan around this downtime. It might be worth scheduling cleaning sessions when you’re out or overnight, so it has time to recharge.

Overall, the battery performance is good but not groundbreaking. It’s functional for regular cleaning but keep its limitations in mind for larger or more intensive cleaning tasks.

The first thing I wanted to see was how well it handled daily cleaning tasks. With a suction power of 4500Pa, the G20 PRO doesn’t mess around. It's got some serious pulling power, especially on hard floors. I tested it on both hardwood and tile, and it picked up dust and pet hair without any issues. The auto carpet boost feature is a nice touch too. It recognizes when it’s on a carpet and cranks up the suction to handle the fibers, which is great for my medium-pile rugs.

The mopping function is another story. It’s decent for light maintenance, but don’t expect it to replace a traditional mop if you’ve got serious grime. The water tank is a bit small, so for larger spaces, you’ll find yourself refilling it quite often. I’d say it’s more of a nice bonus rather than a primary cleaning method.

Navigation is mostly smooth. The G20 PRO uses a “Z” pattern to cover areas, and it does a good job of not missing spots. However, it sometimes has trouble with more cluttered areas, getting stuck occasionally. The sensors help, but it’s not foolproof, so I found myself rescuing it now and then.

Overall, for everyday dirt and hair, it's solid, but for deep cleaning, it might come up short.
