Conga 7290 Eternal Home Genesis Specifications

The Conga 7290 uses laser mapping technology to create an accurate map of your home and plan routes. Thanks to the laser-generated map, you can define, plan and schedule the cleaning of your entire home or specific rooms, giving you more control and personalization of cleaning in the shortest possible time. As we saw earlier, this map is editable and you can customize it by separating each room to optimize cleaning. You can also save multiple maps in case your house has more than one floor.

It features an elegant and compact design in black with details in the house’s trademark blue. It is made of high-quality, durable materials and has a scratch-resistant finish. It is equipped with side brushes and a motorized central brush, which together effectively sweep and suck dirt and adapt to different types of floors.

It includes a mixed dust and water tank that allows complete cleaning by combining vacuuming and scrubbing in a single pass. It is true that this type of device does not promise the best cleaning, and that is what it gives, in addition, without deep cleaning. The water tank may also be insufficient to clean a relatively large or heavily soiled area, so it may be necessary to refill the tank during cleaning.

The Conga 7290 suction motor offers a power of 3000 Pa, with a maximum suction of 2500 Pa. This guarantees effective collection of dust, dirt, hair and particles on different types of surfaces. In addition, the robot also performs a reciprocating motion for intensive cleaning with electronic control of water dosage for more thorough cleaning.

Autonomy

The autonomy of the Conga 7290 Eternal Home Genesis is quite good, with a 2,600 mAh battery that lasts up to 110 minutes. And if that wasn’t enough, because you live in a huge house and the robot needs more time to finish cleaning, thanks to its Total Surface technology, it will only return to the charging base to finish the task. It should be noted that sometimes he can take a while to get on base and hang around, but he’s not quite ready.

Once cleaning is complete, the Conga 7290 returns to the charging base and starts automatically emptying the dust container, eliminating the task of manually emptying the container. With a capacity of 2 L, depending on the situation (season, animals at home, etc.), it can take several weeks to fill.

Since emptying is noisy and can be uncomfortable (tested on humans and cats), you can choose whether you want the robot to do it automatically or prefer to start it manually with the app. This way, the download won’t start by surprise when the bot finishes.

One detail to note about the deposit is that it can sometimes fail. If the bag is not positioned correctly or if the outlet of the robot’s tank is blocked in some way, a red light will illuminate on the self-emptying base, which will not activate when the robot has finished cleaning. Normal bag adjustment or check of deposit output is sufficient for proper operation.

App control and cleaning modes

The Conga 7290 has 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi connectivity (as usual for devices of this type), which allows you to control and program it from your mobile device via the Cecotec app. In addition, it is compatible with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, making it easy to control with voice commands.

In the app, you can choose between 8 different cleaning modes: automatic, full cleaning, scrubbing, edges, spiral, square spiral, point and area. You can also choose between 3 selectable levels of suction power and water level if you are using a scrubbing robot.

But that’s not all, you can plan and schedule the cleaning of your entire house or just the rooms you want. The robot generates a map of the location and you decide where you want it to go. Within this programming option, you can choose to restrict certain areas, for example if you are going to scrub so that the robot does not go through carpets or any area with cables.

However, this option to restrict zones does not work as such in normal cleaning mode, but you choose to clean by areas. Granted, this would work positively (adding areas that do) instead of negatively (subtracting areas that don’t), but for practical purposes it doesn’t work the same. This is a feature that could be added to the app and would be very useful.

conclusions

In general, the Conga 7290 Eternal Home Genesis is a robotic vacuum cleaner that, despite its reasonable price, offers laser technology and a self-emptying base. In addition, it has an elegant design, strong suction power and intelligent control. A good choice if we are in this price range. Right now, the Conga 7290 Eternal house can be purchased at the official Cecotec store for €349.00. You can also buy it for the same price from retailers like Amazon.
