Ezviz RE5 Plus

Manufacturer: Ezviz

The Ezviz RE5 Plus is a feature-rich robot vacuum cleaner that combines vacuuming and mopping in a single unit, with automatic self-emptying that estimates up to 90 days between manual dustbin interventions. It supports mapping, route mapping, no-go zones, and virtual barriers, giving users precise control over where and how the robot cleans. The unit is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, and can be scheduled and monitored remotely via smartphone over Wi-Fi.

Cleaning performance is backed by 4000 Pa of suction power across four cleaning modes, with the ability to handle all floor types, automatically adjust its height, and raise the mop when transitioning to carpeted areas. Filtration is handled by a HEPA and allergy filter with electrostatic filtration, and the included washable filters avoid the need for bag replacements. The 4930 mAh battery delivers up to 180 minutes of runtime, with a 5-hour charge time, auto-docking, and auto-off built in. The robot also features anti-fall and anti-stuck sensors, obstacle detection, and water level adjustment for mopping, along with mop drying capability at the dock.

Pros
  • The self-emptying station is estimated to go up to 90 days between manual dustbin empties, reducing the frequency of hands-on maintenance
  • 4000 Pa of suction power across four cleaning modes gives it meaningful flexibility for different cleaning intensities and floor conditions
  • Mop raising, mop drying, and water level adjustment make the mopping system more capable than a basic wet cloth attachment
  • HEPA and allergy filters combined with electrostatic filtration provide a multi-layer approach to particulate capture during cleaning
  • A 180-minute runtime on a single charge is sufficient for cleaning larger homes without requiring mid-session recharging
  • Mapping, route mapping, no-go zones, and virtual barriers give users precise control over the robot's cleaning behavior
Cons
  • A 5-hour charge time is relatively long and means a significant wait before the robot is ready to clean again after the battery is depleted
  • The 64 dB operating noise level is noticeable and may be disruptive in quieter household environments
  • No dirt sensor is included, so the robot cannot automatically identify and concentrate effort on heavily soiled areas
  • The dustbin capacity of 0.35 l is small, relying heavily on the self-emptying station rather than the onboard bin
  • No physical remote control is provided, meaning all manual control must go through the smartphone app
  • There is no overheating indicator, which removes a useful safety feedback mechanism during extended operation
Who is this for?

The Ezviz RE5 Plus is well-suited to users who want a largely hands-off cleaning routine, as the self-emptying station with an estimated 90-day capacity and 180-minute battery runtime mean the robot can operate across large floor areas with minimal intervention. Households with mixed flooring will benefit from its ability to clean all floor types, automatically adjust its height, and raise the mop when moving onto carpets. Users who want granular control over their robot's behavior will also find value in the mapping, no-go zones, virtual barriers, and smartphone scheduling, all manageable remotely through the app with Google Assistant and Alexa integration.

Who is this NOT for?

The 5-hour charge time makes this robot a poor fit for users who need to run multiple back-to-back cleaning sessions in a single day, as the robot will be out of action for an extended period after each full discharge. The 64 dB operating noise level is likely to be disruptive in environments where quiet is important, such as homes with young children, light sleepers, or shared workspaces. Users who prioritize targeted cleaning of heavily soiled spots will also find the absence of a dirt sensor limiting, as the robot has no way to automatically detect and concentrate effort on areas that need extra attention.
