For pet owners, one of the most frustrating challenges of maintaining a clean home is the constant battle with pet hair. From clinging to furniture to winding around your vacuum’s rolling brush, pet hair is incredibly difficult to deal with. To put that into context, I have an S10 vacuum cleaner at home, which many of my journalists’ friends hail as one of the finest robovacs in the market, but having used it day in and day out, I can vouch that it struggles with long hair. This is precisely why the robot vacuum industry is so competitive, with companies constantly innovating to address every issue and outshine each other.
Extravis, a Chinese smart-home appliance company, is new to the equation but seems to be a promising contender in the battle of robot vacuums. After having cemented its place as a trusted projector maker, the company now wants to redefine the cleaning experience for homes with pets. As a result, Extravis has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund its V5 robot vacuum cleaner.
The company hails the robovac to be a 12-in-one contraption that’s smart and pet-friendly. It boasts an array of features including TangleCutter, Anion emitter, automatic interactive Cat Laser, 8300 Pa suction power, self-emptying, oil aromatherapy diffuser, obstacle avoidance, smart mop retraction, resume cleaning, self-charging, the ability to climb up to 0.79 inches, and precise 3D mapping.
Currently available for $299 early bird price on Kickstarter, V5 is redefining the cleaning experience for homes, courtesy of its patented TangleCutter technology, which addresses one of the most common issues faced by robot vacuum owners: the tangled mess of pet and human hair. In most robot vacuums, long hairs, whether from pets or humans, often get caught in the rolling brush, causing a decrease in suction power, frequent maintenance, and the need for brush replacement.
However, Extravis V5’s TangleCutter effectively eliminates this issue. It works by cutting through the tangled hair before it has a chance to wrap around the brush. With an impressive 8500 Pa suction power, the vacuum collects the cut hair into its dust bin, ensuring that it remains efficient and hassle-free.
“Extravis V5 has been tested over 100 cleaning cycles in environments with up to 100 long hairs per square meter, with no tangles reported,” the company claims. This performance far surpasses that of competing brands, which often suffer from tangled brushes after just a few uses.
What’s intriguing is the fact that V5 does more than just cut and collect the hair. The robot features a built-in deodorant diffuser that reduces pet odors by up to 70 percent, ensuring your home smells fresh even after your pets have shed their fur. Not only this, the vacuum cleaner also emits an interactive laser light that provides entertainment for pets and promotes more physical activity for them. It isn’t a crazy feature but a cute one that will keep your pets engaged.
Akin to SwitchBot’s S10, the V5 doesn’t just vacuum; it combines sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping into one seamless operation. With 80 rotations per minute of mop action, the V5 can sweep and mop simultaneously, offering a truly hands-free cleaning experience.
Whether you have a hardwood floor, tiles, or carpets, the V5 is compatible with all floor types, thanks to its 8500 Pa nano-level suction that can pick up particles as small as dust, ensuring a thorough clean every time. Not to mention, the robovac can climb up to 0.79 inches and can navigate thresholds or low curbs with ease.

Then we have the self-emptying feature that adds another level of convenience. The V5 is equipped with a 3-liter dust bag that automatically collects debris for up to 75 days before requiring a replacement. This eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and lets you go about your life.
Just like other smart vacuum cleaners, the V5 comes with laser radar technology that offers precise 3D mapping, allowing the robot to clean up to 4 levels of your home with ease. It intelligently chooses the most efficient cleaning routes, ensuring that no area is missed.
The company claims, “The vacuum can even clean up to 50 rooms at once, and its corner-to-edge cleaning capabilities ensure that even the tightest spaces are thoroughly cleaned.” If this is to be believed, this seems to be a good fit for hotels too. With its innovative TangleCutter, smart mapping, deodorizing capabilities, and versatile floor care features, the V5 offers an unmatched cleaning experience that’s tailored specifically to the needs of pet owners.
