Good deal
This price is lower than the model could usually be bought for anywhere, and lower than on most days of the past month.
12% below the usual lowest price at any shop, and cheaper than on at least three in four of the last 30 days.
Five litres for clean water and five litres for dirty water make the tanks in the Imou RV3's station larger than most others of its kind, which usually stop at 4 litres and 3.5 litres, so filling and emptying them comes round less often. The station is low as well, 40 centimetres beside the customary 50 centimetres.

sold by a third-party seller Five litres for clean water and five litres for dirty water make the tanks in the Imou RV3's station larger than most others of its kind, which usually stop at 4 litres and 3.5 litres, so filling and emptying them comes round less often. The station is low as well, 40 centimetres beside the customary 50 centimetres.
The dust bag is the opposite case. Imou gives 45 days per bag, a month less than its peers' 75 days, so bag changes come sooner. Battery capacity is 6,400 mAh, 1,200 mAh over the median, yet the 180 minutes Imou states per charge stay 20 minutes under it.
