Yujin Robot

The company behind iClebo

Yujin Robot is the maker of iClebo, a line of robot vacuums with a long run of models behind it and a reputation, among the retailers that stock it, for sturdy construction. The Ukrainian robot specialist robotics.ua says iClebo robots are known for their reliability, effective cleaning and the high quality of their Korean assembly, and presents Yujin Robot as a manufacturer working to improve home cleaning robotics. The repair site iFixit names Yujin Robot as the company that released the iCLEBO Arte, and the Canadian vacuum store McHardy Vacuum introduces its iClebo stock as coming "From the Yujin Robot company."

What the retailers stress is durability over novelty. robotics.ua writes that its iClebo robots will serve their owners for a long time and suit owners who want a smart helper for sizeable rooms with a lot of carpet, cleaning them quickly and efficiently. It also highlights a large battery reserve that lets the robots clean a big space without stopping, which cuts the total cleaning time. On after-sales care, the retailer says Yujin Robot guarantees service in Ukraine, and robotics.ua itself lists iClebo accessories and spare parts alongside the robots.

The range, as the retailers tell it

robotics.ua walks through the iClebo lineup in order, and that history is the clearest picture of the range.

iClebo Arte. The retailer places the Arte in the fifth, YCR-M05, series, and says it was produced from 2012 until it was withdrawn in 2018; iFixit gives its release as May 2014. robotics.ua explains that the Arte cleaned mainly with its brushes, with the motor acting as a helper that assists the brushes and keeps debris in the bin, and that it was aimed mostly at hard floors such as tile, laminate, linoleum and parquet. The retailer credits it with a 5-step cleaning system and a design for large areas of more than 100 square meters. iFixit adds the hardware detail: the Arte came with a remote control, used several patterns and settings to cover a flat floor, and had a display on top showing the current pattern, a timer counting down to the next automatic mode, and a battery level indicator. When it finished a floor it returned to its charging station on its own. iFixit notes that the YCR-M05 is solid black while the YCR-M05-20 has a silver front, and that every version looks like a hexagon inside a circle with the product name below the display.

iClebo Omega. robotics.ua calls the Omega a legendary model, released in 2016, that changed how people thought about robotic cleaning and set a direction for other manufacturers. It became known for very high power, its design and a set of technologies that improved cleaning quality. The retailer says that thanks to its build quality, owners typically used one robot for more than 5 years without going to a service center, even under warranty, and that its large battery and motor give strong suction that clears heavy dirt from carpets while leaving plenty of battery in reserve. It lists two versions, the Omega Gold (YCR-M07-10) and the Omega White (YCR-M07-20). McHardy Vacuum describes the Omega as "one of the worlds most powerful robotic vacuums available today," and says what sets it apart is its high powered suction.

iClebo O5. From 2019, robotics.ua says, the O5 took over as the flagship. It kept the Omega's build quality and way of working and added full smartphone control and a connection to the home network, with the app used to set the cleaning mode, the cleaning time and virtual boundaries.

iClebo G5 and G7. robotics.ua says 2020 brought the budget G5 and the senior G7, the latter with full wet cleaning and an entirely new navigation system based on LiDAR (LDS).

What the listings show

The robotics.ua catalog lists five iClebo robots and marks four of them, the G7 Wi-Fi, the G5 Wi-Fi and both Omega versions, as discontinued. The one still priced is the iClebo O5 Wi-Fi, shown at 14,999 грн (hryvnia), down from 19,999 грн, with a 25% sale badge. robotics.ua's filters for its iClebo robots show all five with wet cleaning, two side brushes and a rated cleaning area of more than 100 square meters per charge, none with adjustable water level, three with optical SLAM or vSLAM navigation and one with laser LiDAR navigation, two with virtual barriers and three that display a cleaning map. About its newer models, the retailer says the app lets owners start and stop the robot remotely, choose the suction power, set up wet cleaning and draw virtual boundaries.

McHardy Vacuum in Canada lists two iClebo robots and one kit. The iClebo 05 Robot Vacuum Cleaner is listed at $849.00 and, in McHardy's description, is powered by a lithium ion battery and a 53 watt motor. The iClebo Omega Robot Vacuum Cleaner is listed at $799.00. The iClebo Omega Series Accessory Kit is $99.00 and, according to McHardy, includes everything needed to maintain an Omega series robot, with additional parts that let owners customize the cleaning options.

Repair and parts

The Arte has a public repair record. iFixit hosts replacement guides for the Arte's battery, dust bin, filter, front wheel, main brush, power transformer and side sweeper, and says repair is similar to the iCLEBO Pop and needs only basic tools. For a robot built to last, that matters: a worn battery or brush does not have to end the machine's life.

Caveats

The newest models the retailers describe date from 2020, and robotics.ua already marks both G-series robots as discontinued, so buyers should expect to find older stock rather than a fresh lineup. Neither retailer states warranty terms for iClebo, and the Arte's release date differs between robotics.ua and iFixit. Neither retailer publishes a suction figure in pascals for any iClebo model.

Who iClebo suits

iClebo suits a buyer who values a well-built machine over the newest features, especially in a larger home with a lot of carpet, which is exactly the owner robotics.ua has in mind. The O5 is the model to look for when app control and virtual boundaries matter, and the Omega remains the one retailers praise most for suction and longevity. An owner who likes to fix things will appreciate the Arte's iFixit guides and McHardy's Omega accessory kit. A buyer who wants a self-emptying dock or the latest obstacle recognition will not find those in the models described here.
