Jimmy JV85 Pro review: it BENDS but doesn't BREAK and what a POWER !!!
After about a year of design and study, the brand new Jimmy JV85 Pro electric broom arrives on the market, which we remember to be produced by a partner company of Xiaomi, as a guarantee on the quality / price ratio.
Probably given the functions and technical specifications on paper, it would be compared with the direct competitor Dyson V11 but also with the Dreame V11, but personally I will avoid this comparison because Jimmy JV85 Pro, enjoys its own identity, distinguishing itself from the crowd due to some peculiar characteristics, such as the extension tube that can be bent 90 degrees, as well as unleashing a suction power, which for comparison lovers, is far above the Dyson V11 itself.
But let's not waste any more time and let's start with the knowledge of this Jimmy JV85 Pro, specifying right from the start the sale price, which is 369 euros to which by adding 1 euro, the company will also include a vertical ironer. I already feel the first din din of the points score in favor of Jimmy ...
As for the entire lineup already present, the company confirms a decidedly rich range of accessories for the Jimmy VJ85 Pro and that through a combo of the same, allows a versatility of use that only the imagination can give a brake. You will find all sorts of brushes for cleaning the house and the various environments, but above all you will be able to reach the smallest blind areas. In particular, in the sales package we find the following accessories:
- Flexible and extendable tube;
- Motorized head;
- Roller brush;
- Carpet brush;
- Motorized anti-mite mini head;
- 2 in 1 crevice tool;
- 2 in 1 upholstery nozzle;
- Nozzle with bristles for delicate surfaces;
- Foldable extension tube;
- Wall bracket for charging;
- Ficher screws;
- Battery charger with proprietary connection;
- Multi-position mini joint extension;
- Multilingual instruction booklet and guarantee;
The brand's engineers have completely redesigned this new electric broom, while keeping faith with the good things we had already been able to appreciate with the previous models. We find a modern design, almost futuristic but above all very nice. Above all we notice a good assembly of the plastics, of excellent workmanship, which play a leading role in the use of the materials that make up this JV85 Pro. The typical interlocking mechanism allows you to assemble and disassemble the accessories supplied in a very simple and quick way. , but immediately we can see a great novelty and revolution.
In fact, the tank of this JV85 Pro goes from a capacity of 0,5 liters of past generations to a capacity of 0,6 liters, but above all it has been arranged horizontally rather than vertically. This allows an even easier emptying of the container without having to get your hands dirty, simply by pressing a little pressure on the lever dedicated to opening the cap. But the study that led to this arrangement actually leads us to another novelty, which is one of the strengths of this electric broom. We are talking about the patented Horizontal Cyclone technology coupled with the Dual Cyclonic one, which manages to filter even more efficiently than current technologies, capable of capturing and retaining up to 99.97% of particles from 0.3 microns upwards.
On the terminal of the tank / filter block, we find the further presence of the HEPA-13 filter, which can be removed by simply rotating the block to which it is placed. In fact, another strong point of Jimmy JV85 Pro, but in general of all the products of the brand, is the possibility of disassembling any type of element that makes up the gadget, to be washed and sanitized for a next use. We can even extract the battery, which basically leads to a double advantage, that is the use of a second unit if you have to clean a very large room or the total replacement if problems related to autonomy and operation in general are identified.
Before talking to you about autonomy, however, I want to conclude the examination of the product by talking to you about further news, such as the insertion of an LCD display on the sleeve, which will provide us with valuable information on the residual charge status of the battery as well as view the cleaning program we are using. Another novelty concerns the handle, which stands out from the competition because it adopts an arched design unlike the classic pistol and this allows greater comfort and ergonomics during the cleaning phase, which combined with the low weight of the motor body, or 1,46, XNUMX kg without brushes and the excellent weight balance in general, make the use of the vacuum cleaner very comfortable, avoiding to tire the user
The study for the design of this Jimmy JV85 Pro, has also led to revise the design of the brush, which now avoids the twisting of pet hair and / or hair, around the motorized roller.
The company has seen fit to exploit all these innovations by equipping the product with a powerful 550W brushless motor capable of delivering a suction power of 200 AirWatt at 100000 rpm, or with Jimmy JV85 Pro you will only need to make a single pass to clean a dirty area, thus also performing in terms of autonomy (the Dyson V11 has a power of 185AW). We have 3 different suction modes available, which in the case of choosing the most powerful will emit a noise of 82 dB, which can be selected using the button on the handle, next to the ignition one.
General house cleaning takes place smoothly and being able to take advantage of all sorts of accessories for cleaning the different surfaces, as well as transforming JV85 Pro into a different product every time, are a rare thing in this type of product, but what is turned out to be revolutionary was the collapsible extension tube. In fact, with a simple click on the dedicated mechanism, we could bend the tube up to 90 °, thus reaching the lower areas of the furniture avoiding having to bend the back and therefore accuse any small injuries.
One of the points that always makes people discuss about this kind of products related to wireless home cleaning, is the autonomy, which in the case of Jimmy JV85 Pro is configured thanks to a 8 mah 2500-cell battery which according to what is stated by the company is able to guarantee a maximum autonomy of 70 minutes.
A truly Guinness time, were it not that this is achieved using only non-motorized accessories, but in real life you certainly cannot do without the motorized brush, therefore the values I obtained are 55 minutes at minimum power, 26 minutes with the average one (which is what we will use in 95% of cases, so much so that the vacuum cleaner always starts in this mode) and finally 14 minutes of autonomy at maximum power. However, these values are in line, if not higher, than what is offered on the market. Recharging, on the other hand, takes 4,5 to 5 hours.
Conclusions
Jimmy JV85 Pro is certainly not a simple vacuum cleaner and has proved it not only with the most complete accessories on the market but also with versatility of use and cleaning efficiency. Considering the cost, almost half compared to a Dyson V11, it is almost obvious to recommend this product to anyone looking for a product that can satisfy the most particular cleaning needs but does not want to give up practicality and design. The only stumbling block could be represented by autonomy, something that still afflicts all products in this category, but in the case of Jimmy JV85 Pro we have the advantage of a removable and therefore replaceable battery.
In addition, the current promotion, which is that with the addition of 1 euro to the final price you will also take home a vertical ironer, makes this Jimmy JV85 Pro an unmissable opportunity.
Offers and price history for the Jimmy JV85 PRO
I would like to ask what advice between the Jimmy j85 pro, the Roborock H6 and the Shunzao Z11 pro. All three seem very valid to me and the Shunzao like the Jimmy has a removable battery which therefore allows you to have a second charge to replace when the first runs out and thus complete the cleaning. However, I would like to know which of the three you recommend. Thanks
