Description
Imagine not having to worry about cleaning your floors ever again.
Every household in South Africa needs one of these. Whether you live in a big house, full of kids and pets, or alone, the Taroma Robi1 will become part of the family.
The motor and the smart chip is imported from Japan and features state of the art technology that combines a powerful suction (3000 Pa) with low noise levels.
It’s ready to go right out of the box. All you have to do is clip on the side brushes and the dustbin, press the on button and let it loose. After a while, pick the robot up, pull the dustbin out, empty it and insert again to keep going.
The thing that will surprise you most about the robot is the sheer amount of dust, pet hair and dirt it sucks up in a short period of time. The small and sleek design allows it to get into places that you normally don’t get to clean, under beds, under the stove, behind the TV cabinet etc.
The robot cleans thoroughly in the crevices between tiles and hardwood floors with it’s powerful brushless suction motor.
You can easily switch between vacuum and mopping mode by simply sliding the dustbin out and sliding in the water tank. The robot will then intelligently release just the right amount of water to ensure no wet puddles are left on your floor. When the robot stops, the water stops dispensing.
Both the Dustbin and Mop attachment can easily be cleaned by rinsing with water and left to dry.
When in vacuum mode the robot will do Zig Zag cleaning to ensure that it covers the whole area in the least amount of time.
You can also set it to do only Border cleaning, where it will run along a wall and clean tightly against it, including corners.
There is also a Fixed point cleaning mode which means that it will stay around one spot and clean that particular spot in circles. (perfect for disaster areas)
The battery is of high quality and lasts for 130 minutes of continuous cleaning. When the battery runs low, the robot will return itself to the charging station and begin to charge the battery.
Artificial Intelligence is used to build a map of your house inside the robot’s computer. That allows for more efficient cleaning in less time since the robot knows exactly where to clean and won’t have to go over the same spot twice.
Sensors are used to learn to avoid collisions with furniture and the robot will also not fall off steps higher than 8cm. Instead, the robot will intelligently work its way around your furniture and ensure that it cleans in all corners and close to the actual furniture.
The Taroma Robi1 can be controlled with a remote control (included) as well as an APP where you can set the cleaning schedule to suit you.
Watch The Video Below:
Special Features:
- The robot can detect the entire environment around it and build a map inside the CPU so that it can do smart cleaning from one room to another.
- The robot’s memory enables it to know where it has cleaned and where it hasn’t, thus one-time sweeping coverage is more than 98%. The cleaning path repetition rate is about 1%.
- Humanized design with voice reminder. The robot will remind you when charging, starts to do cleaning, full dustbin or glitch, etc.
- High efficient cleaning: the suction power is strong and will get all the dirt out from between tile and hardwood crevices. The design of the primary filter combined with a HEPA filter avoids secondary air pollution.
- The suction power is adjustable for different floor types.
- WiFi app control, the WiFi connection is extremely swift.
- Electric control water tank ensures even water seepage. The water seepage stops automatically if the robot stops working. The tank holds 350ml of water and can mop for 100 minutes.
- The design of the interchangeable dustbin and water tank makes for easy switching between cleaning modes.
- Modular design is convenient for end-users to maintain the robots by themselves.
- Fully enclosed body design ensures that the dust can not enter into the main board, preventing the main board from being corroded.

Talisha –
Extremely efficient, useful and clever. Gets into and under all hard to reach corners and crevices. Quiet, easy to use and easy to clean. Goes from hardwood floors to tiles and carpets with breeze. After cleaning the device, we didn’t realize how much dirt and dust our broom and hoover were leaving behind!
Elize Walter –

We absolutely love this vacuum we even named it, works well and love the fact that it Integrates with Smart Home apps.
This is an absolute must if you have Kids and dogs…
Sheena James –
Our Family is So So Impressed with this special Robot Vacuum cleaner. I was shattered as to how much it collects around the house in its quiet efficient way. (We thought our previous vacuum was a strong one- obviously not so!) I love the way it finds its way under the furniture and into and out of the corners. It tells you when it has a problem and is unbelievably easy to clean and change from the Vacuum cartridge to the Mopping cartridge. With easy to read instructions and well made parts that all just fit.
I have no hesitation in giving this a 10/10 . We have a busy house with kids, cats and dogs!

Afrishop rocks. I called Jan for help and he was brilliant. I paid for the robot and got it the same day. I just used it on my floors thinking my house was clean. I was in for a surprise. This little machine did a brilliant job and I was even on the phone whilst it was going. That’s how quiet it is. Buy one now is all I can say!

This robot vacuum cleaner works very well. Can let it go and clean while you do other things. It picks up all the dust and dog hair. I have a combination of wooden floors and vinyl floors. No carpets, but it does vacuum my mats that are not too flimsy as well. Very happy with it!
I haven’t used the mop function yet, but it should work well judging by how the vacuum function works.

Fastest delivery ever! Great little machine too. The app makes the usage quick and easy. It has a strong vacuum and cleans nicely. The mop option is good but a few swipes of the same area is needed for a proper clean. Very happy with the product and the service.

Adele V. (verified owner) –
It works fine. I thought that you could program it for each room but it does not seem to work like that. It sometimes gets confused and goes back to the same place again and I have to manually manouvre it. It also cannot find the charger if it is more than 5 meters away, so I need to pick it up and take it there. I hoped that I could leave it and it would clean the whole house by itself, but it needs intervention. If it is only a small room it works fine.
Sonnette Stander (verified owner) –
We are so excited. Still getting to know our unit but our initial experience was excellent. Picked up so much hair and dust!! We were absolutely shocked as we didn’t realize just how ineffective our vacuum cleaner was. Definitely fantastic investment.

I have send the unit back: The ability to identify different rooms – edit rooms, build virtual walls cannot be done. The unite gets stuck on a 6mm thick carpet. I was disappointed because I tried to get that info up front before I ordered the unit. The manual is fairly good with the setup but the actual operations for different scenarios is none excitant. Also from the day I paid it took 7 days (including weekend) before it was delivered.

Excellent buy! We have a very clean house but “sunshine” finds dust we never knew we had! I estimate it gets to about 80% of the area in a clean, but usually gets to the other bits during subsequent cleans. Don’t underestimate the mop. It really cleans. Highly recommend the service and the product

This morning I noticed that during last night’s scheduled cleaning, it got stuck on 1 of my carpets, which is a bit too fluffy, so I’ll try block that area off. But then out of the blue the WiFi did not connect anymore. AfriShopSA did however offer good technical after-sales support this morning and now it is connected again.

Thank you for your excellent service. I ordered my robot vacuum the day before Christmas and it arrived on my Birthday the 28th. I was able to track the courier the whole time. I have used the machine for a few days now and is really satisfied with it. Vacuum and mopping is perfect for my needs. Needs a little help in the beginning but trust it will sort itself out after a few rounds through the house and mapping itself. The thing that appeals to me the most is that I can order spare parts from Afrishop. Thanks again for the great service.

Works very well and I have not used my regular vacuum in the 10 days since I got Kurt. With 3 dogs, 1 cat and 3 boy children, in a 4 bedroom house I was finding the fur and crumbs overwhelming but not since Kurt arrived! He can become quite obsessed with certain areas but I just pick him up and put him where I want him. As noted by others the WiFi does not seem to help him cover the area more efficiently and the map is largely useless. Good suction power and I am startled by how much dust and pet fur I empty from the dust compartment. Best part; he can run during load shedding!

What an amazing little robot! I was very skeptical that something this small could actually clean my house which is >500m2 of floor space. Not only did it clean up better than the normal vacuum cleaner, it got to spaces under the beds and under the furniture which are inaccessible with a handheld cleaner. And just when I thought a room was clean, it managed to find more dust on every pass. Even the mop can clean the wooden floors without any problem. I can recommend this without any reservation whatsoever.

I was really worried that the robot would not cope with dog hair on an extensive tiled floor from 2 Labradors and 3 Jack Russels, plus sandy feet from the beach – it works! I have a clean floor 🙂

At this moment this robot vacuum cleaner work very good, there are a few things that I still had to find out. But she make my life much better. I work and do my own house work it mean more time with my family.

It cleans wooden floors really well. I like the product. I found the mop function too wet even for the tiled spaces. It probably should dispense less water.
But my only big issue is that it doesn’t hold charge. It discharges power so I have to recharge it again before use. AfrishopSA please help resolve this!

I love my “Mr Squeaky”. Just leave the little guy to do his thing while I take a nap or watch a move…. Dont have to move my bed to clean underneath it any more….:). Worth every cent.

I placed an order on Friday, and received the robovac on Monday – amazing service! But even better is its performance, both in terms of vacuuming and mopping. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy it.

Very quick, efficient service and delivery from AfriShopSA. We love the Taroma Robi1 Robot vacuum cleaner. Gulped a bit at paying R6K for a vacuum cleaner, but sense it’s going to be worth every cent. We have acres of tiles in our new-build home, and were endlessly trying to keep on top of all the building site dust and dog hair. Now, come 5.30 pm, “Kevin” kicks into action and does the whole house while we get our evening entertainment watching him work. I get so much help from my menfolk now…..they love this toy. It looks like it will last – well-made, great at what it does, and much quieter than a normal vacuum. It works long on a single recharge and is thorough – goes under beds and cabinets, round table legs, over rugs…….It’s revolutionised our lives in a week. LOVE it. Just hope it lasts…..that will be the big test. How long can it keep working this hard?

Loving my new bot cleaner. The vacuum works really well.
The mop doesn’t always glide over the entire surface, it could be made of a thicker micro fibre but someone suggested sewing the 2 pads together which I am going to try. Doesn’t matter about any little downfalls, this is way better than doing the job yourself. Such a time saver!

Amazing service ! Ordered on the Monday and the robot vacuum arrived Tuesday lunch time. The vacuum is phenomenal !!! – it manages keeping the place dust and dog hair free while I’m working – giving me back an hour and a half a day – couldn’t ask for anything more
Andre F. (verified owner) –
It works well, sucks up the dust and dirt, but it can’t seem to learn the layout of the rooms and how they interconnect and the app, Tuya Smart, displays maps for where the unit has cleaned, but there is no manual that I can find that describes how to train the unit to the layout of the house. So every time I want it to clean, I have to carry it into the room and tell it to “autoclean” and it cant find its way to the charging station unless the charging station is in the same room in which it is cleaning.
Mopping system is a laugh, it will wet down and wipe tiles, but it cannot clear stains from spilled coffee or cooldrinks.
Overall, it saves me time and I am happy with it’s vacuuming performance. However the automation of the schedule to clean the house, I doubt this unit will ever do that, lack of instructions is a big point. If there was a comprehensive instruction manual and the unit could map the layout of the house, I would give it a better rating. Perhaps if the firmware or the app is updated in future, I may be convinced to give it a better rating.
afrishopsa (store manager) –
Thanks for your feedback. The Robi 1 can only schedule auto cleaning with the app which means it will leave the charging station and starts cleaning. If you pick it up and move it manually it won’t find the charging station because the home point was interrupted.
If you want more app functionality such as telling the bot to only clean one room and not others etc. then you won’t go wrong with the Robi Pro.

Great robo vacuum cleaner with long battery life and high suction power. Note that the clean time is affected if you are running in turbo mode which is expected. The anti collision and anti fall features are quite impressive. I’d definitely recommend this product if you want a vacuum cleaner alternative and want to be hands off but this does not replace your vacuum cleaner. I still feel the need to vacuum the house once a week.
The mop function also works quite well although the Taroma cannot differentiate between a tiled area and a carpeted area. This becomes a problem in rooms where you have both and you need to put physical boundaries. Not worth the effort.
One thing to keep in mind is that, these devices only work on 2.4Ghz wifi networks so if you have a 5GHz access point, you may not be able to use the app unless you create a separate access point. This is not a limitation as most of these devices only work on 2.4Ghz because of its long range. Having said that, the remote works quite well.
Another drawback is the map builder on the app. I don’t feel like it is accurate or reliable for that matter. I’d recommend you stay away from the app to avoid any disappointment. Just stick with the remote 🙂
