Hello everyone, I'm your old friend @目丁, I haven't done a product comparison of cloud whales for a long time, and I just have cloud whale J1 (war damage from many years of operation), cloud whale J4 (the latest cloud whale), talk about how much cloud whale has improved in the past 4 years from 2019 cloud whale J1 to 2023 cloud whale J4. (Cloud Whale J4 has a water version and a water tank version,The comparison here is the water tank version,Because Cloud Whale J1 is only the water tank version,To Cloud Whale J2 There is a water version at the beginning) From Cloud Whale J1 to Cloud Whale J4,In the eyes of the old illiterate,It is a classic family design。 Whether it's a base station or a sweeping robot, it's all one word, "mellow". 
Since J1, Cloud Whale has embodied humanized design everywhere. As can be seen from the outer packaging box, Cloud Whale adopts a typical upper and lower stacked placement, with a robot on the top and a base station on the bottom, a total of two layers. The packaging size is not large, and it is easy to store at home in the later stage. 
In addition, the cleaning tray position is fully stored inside the machine, and the free accessories can be stuffed in. Since there is no need to assemble and clean the base, in the later stages of normal use, such a design also leads to a problem of hygienic dead ends. Even if the entire mop tray is removed, it cannot be completely cleaned. 
There's also a better cosmetic change, that isBase station handle。In the past, Cloud Whale J1 was particularly troubled by moving the base station, and there was no focus point at all, while Cloud Whale J4 has increased the position of the handles on both sides of the base station on the appearance of the base station, which is convenient for movement. 
There are also noticeable differences at the base stationCloud Whale J1 is button + display control, Cloud Whale J4 is touch screen control. 
The size of their lid is similar (Cloud Whale J4 is a little taller), that is to say, the only suitable for Cloud Whale to be embedded is the water version, and the water tank version cannot be embedded. 
It is also worth noting that,Cloud whaleJ1The sweeping robot is oval,And the cloud whaleJ4The sweeping robot is round,It can be said,The machine is not even the same shape。 
A simple list of the parameters of the cloud whale J1 and the cloud whale J4 comparison,In fact, it is very simple to see that the cloud whaleJ4 has better functions (after all, it has been iterated)。 
However, what I said above may be reflected in the actual feelings, and more can be felt is the difference in use:2.1 The core of Cloud Whale J1 is the base station, and the core of Cloud Whale J4 is a robotIn fact, it can be seen from many aspects,Cloud whaleJ1At the beginning of the design, in order to distinguish the sweeping robot of the charging pad style,The direction with the base station as the core was set。 But when it comes to Cloud Whale J4, because the all-round base station has been rolled out, it has returned to the robot-focused design. I won't talk about a lot of details,For example,Cloud whaleJ1Mapping can only be controlled by the base station,Every time you start the sweeping robot, the base station is connected to send instructions。 The cloud whale J4 directly operates the robot through the APP, which can be easily achieved remotely. 
2.2 Cloud Whale J1 is a class electrical appliance, and Cloud Whale J4 is a class electrical applianceIn the comparison of the two generations of cloud whales, I found a very interesting place, their plugs are different, this difference refers not to the shape, but to the "plug" is different. According to the national standard GB 47061-2005 Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances Part 1 General Requirements", Class electrical appliances generally must have grounding wires (ground wires) to protect safety. Class II appliances generally have double insulation or reinforced insulation, so ground wires can be omitted. In general, it is thought that the safety of similar appliances will be better than that of similar appliances. 
2.3 From the manual replacement of the cloud whale J1 to the sweeping and mopping integration of the cloud whale J4Starting from the Cloud Whale J1, the Cloud Whale's family-style mops all use the Lelo triangle shape mop, which can effectively cover the clean walking area. From Cloud Whale J1 to Cloud Whale J4MopThe biggest improvement isIt's easier to get cleanNow,Cloud whaleJ1The mop is easy to turn black,It's not clean when it's black,Cloud whaleJ4The mop is easier to wash。
Moreover, their sweeping and mopping structure has undergone significant changes:Cloud Whale J1Either mop or side brush, main brush or vacuum port. Cloud Whale J4Directly is a bilateral brush + double mop + main rubber brush,The configuration is directly full.
2.4 Cloud Whale J1 robot only has a dust box, Cloud Whale J4 has a dust bag, dust box free matchingCloud Whale J4 is different from the common all-round base station sweeping robot on the market, his dust bag is packed inside the machine, and it is said that it can be changed for 30 days. Of course, the dust box that started from Cloud Whale J1 still retains optional items and needs to be replaced manually.
2.5 The Yunjing J1 water tank is large, but the function is basic, and the Yunjing J4 water tank is small, but the function is powerful (silver ion module, sterilization solution, etc.).Cloud Whale J1 to Cloud Whale J4 In fact, there are great changes in the base station, take the water tank version as an example, the internal design of the water tank has changed differently:The Cloud Whale J1 tank is larger; Cloud Whale J4Although the water tank has become smaller, it is also to make room for automatic addition of detergent. Moreover, the cloud whale J4 also added one inside the clear water tankSilver Ion ModulePlacement to achieve antibacterial waterways.
Cloud whale J4The water and water version is to add the water and water components,Replace the original water tank space,Two water tank accessories are still for you)2.6 Cloud Whale J1 washes the mop only with cold air, and Cloud Whale J4 washes the mop with hot airThere are many differences between the Cloud Whale J1 and the Cloud Whale J4 on the base station, however, compareIt's easy to missThat's it,Cloud Whale J4 hot air drying mop. Since the cloud whale J1 is cold water washing and cold water drying, the hot air drying function has been connected since the cloud whale J2, and the effect has been good, and it has been continued to this day (cloud whale J4). Judging from the measured situation, the hot air drying of Cloud Whale J4 takes half an hour to reach the working temperature, which is about 221 °C until the end of the program drying. ( There is a small regret that the cloud whale J4 only has hot air drying, no hot water washing, and the oil stain is difficult to clean itself.) ）
2.7 Cloud Whale J1 has plan management, Cloud Whale J4's AI intelligent function is fully upgraded, Whale Spirit hosting, timed tasks, and even support shortcut task combinationsCloud whale J1 has very few functions,Planned cleaning is the order of cleaning the room,Either the whole house,Or select the room。 And casual cleaning is marquee cleaning, which is a very basic function.
Cloud Whale J4It's a comprehensive evolution, and there are not many functions, but he is fully handed over to AI hosting, and AI (Whale Spirit) automatically adjusts the material, adjusts the intelligent path, and adjusts the amount of water output; It also supports self-formulated combinations, self-set timing tasks, and can arrange the itinerary of the sweeping robot at will, which is very convenient.
2.8 The Cloud Whale J1 sensor is different from the Cloud Whale J4 sensorDue to the different obstacle avoidance schemes of Cloud Whale J1 and Cloud Whale J4, the sensors configured between them are also different. Most of the Cloud Whale J4 has switched to structured light recognition. Also, the number of sensors they have is not the same, the more obvious of which isCloud Whale J4 has more ultrasonic carpet sensorsto be able to identify the carpet and apply a response.
Due to the comprehensive upgrade of intelligence + changes in the sensor, the use of Cloud Whale J4 in the cleaning process is far more than the feeling of Cloud Whale J1:3.1 Cloud Whale J1 goes straight and straight, Cloud Whale J4 slips around like a fish, and twists its ass. "Twist the "cleaning along the edge+ whale spirit hosting and lifting capacityIn the past, Cloud Whale J1 did not have a regular edge filling function, and there was no whale spirit hosting, and the machine was only scanned once according to the original function. And the biggest feeling that Cloud Whale J4 gives me is, twisting your ass + walking around. This is a scene that you won't see on the Cloud Whale J1. This twisting method is Smart-Swing, when the edge sensor next to the body senses the wall, it will automatically "twist the butt" and let the mop twist to the wall to clean.
Moreover, the cloud whale J4 is equipped with IPS40 whale inspiration system,Let the sweeping robot automatically drag and sweep,So you often see cloud whaleJ4 wandering around,It's not mopping and sweeping,Constantly filling in the leaks and cleaning。 (ps: I personally feel that the effect is good, and you can also see the veritable "whales" swimming around, but the cleaning time is too long).
3.2 Cloud Whale J1 is only outstanding in mopping, and Cloud Whale J4 has stronger suction and cleaning abilitySince the cloud whale J1 only has 1800pa suction, either mopping or side brushing, the effect must be average, and for a long time in the past, individuals just used him as a "mopping machine". And the cloud whale J4 is 7800pa suction, the main brush of the rubber brush + bilateral brush + double mop, so many combinations, the cleaning effect must be much stronger than the cloud whale J1. I won't test too much here to avoid wasting your time. 3.3 Both the Cloud Whale J1 and the Cloud Whale J4 have anti-winding designs, but the Cloud Whale J4 sacrifices lessIn fact, looking back at the cloud whale J1, it can be seen that the initial products of the cloud whale have taken into account the problem of hair entanglement, so the vacuum inlet design is directly adopted, and the hair is directly sucked into the dust box. However, such a design will lead to poor cleaning effect, and it will be difficult to deal with the stubborn dust on the ground. The Cloud Whale J4 adopts a single-sided buckle design (the position without buckle is the dust collection port), and the main brush with air flow diversion pushes the hair to the dust collection port, which can avoid the hair from being entangled in the roller brush for a long time. (However, the hair will also be blocked in the air vent, but this will sacrifice less cleanliness.) ）
3.4 Small details,Cloud Whale J1 Go back directly to the base station,Cloud Whale J4 will sweep it after returning to the base station。 Let's talk about a small detail here, because the side brush mop of the cloud whale J1 is directly into the cleaning tray, and the dust outside will be stuck in the position where the tire walks through the chassis. And cloud whaleJ4When entering the base station,It will automatically sweep a few times,Clean the chassis,This design does take into account the actual use of cleaning problems,Praise。
Cloud Whale J1 Because it is an infrared + collision plate obstacle avoidance scheme, it feels like he is always like a tireless "bumper car", and Cloud Whale J4 is a two-way 3D structured light + IPS40 whale inspiration system, for obstacle avoidance will learn slowly, and will become more and more clever in the future. Of course, Cloud Whale J4 has to think for a long time in the early days, like a slow "old woman". 4.1 Cloud Whale J1 only has "reckless" for wall edges and right angles, and Cloud Whale J4 has its own practice for wall edges and right anglesThe most obvious is the direction of the corners, the edge sensing and the collision plate of the cloud whale J1 seem to belong to different departments, sensing the edge of the wall, and directly passing over. After that, I realized that I wanted to collide and perceive my position.
And the cloud whale J4 will think about the position,Adjust your position at a distance,Walk against the wall at the distance closest to the wall。
4.2. The obstacle avoidance of cloud whale J1 is about equal to none; Cloud Whale J4 thinks and turns on its ownCloud Whale J1's obstacle avoidance trigger feels like it's by colliding.,Collision to.,Oh,There's a wall there.,Change the position and hit it again.。
And the cloud whale J4 has its own thinking,Think about whether to hit the wall first,Even if the calculation position is a little slow,But at least the complex obstacle avoidance can also walk through。
4.3. Cloud Whale J1 does not have carpet recognition, and Cloud Whale J4 has carpet recognition that can be controlled by AICloud Whale J4 has more ultrasonic carpet recognition sensors than Cloud Whale J1, when it comes into contact with the carpet, it will automatically identify the length of carpet wool, divided into long hair, short hair, spanning, carpet four modes. At the same time, the carpet will also be displayed on the APP map after recognition, which is very intelligent.
4.4、Cloud whale J1It is difficult to avoid the forbidden area,It is best to put the magnetic stripe manually,Cloud whale J4 can be easily drawn to avoidCloud WhaleJ1The random device comes with a magnetic stripe,This makes the sensor feel that it will not cross the magnetic stripe,It is also the early sweeping robot, everyone basically uses this method。 And Cloud Whale J4 due to the AI intelligent upgrade (obstacle avoidance scheme has also changed),So you only need the mobile phone APP to demarcate the forbidden area。
4.5 The obstacle crossing of the cloud whale J1 can be called a disaster, and the obstacle crossing ability of the cloud whale J4 is strongCloud whaleJ1The obstacle crossing really has to complain,Cloud whaleJ1When the side brush module is installed,15mmThe obstacle crossing can be passed,And after changing to a mop,The robot is stupid,Because you can't lift the mop,It's very difficult to cross the obstacle at a little height。
Cloud Whale J4 does not need to change modules, and it can reflect his 20mm obstacle crossing ability on a daily basis. (Since the Cloud Whale J4 anti-drop mode will be turned on, the obstacle crossing ability will be further improved, but it will cause other troubles, and it is generally recommended not to turn it off.) ）
4.6 Both of the anti-drop functions are equally strong, so I won't introduce this much. The Cloud Whale J1 has four anti-drop sensors, and the Cloud Whale J4 has five anti-drop sensors, and they all work very well. Among them, the anti-fall of the cloud whale J1 can not be turned off, and the anti-fall of the cloud whale J4 can be turned off.
In general,Cloud WhaleJ1The core is the base station,Cloud WhaleJ4The core is a sweeping robot,There are obviously different styles between them。 However, because the base station function of Cloud Whale J4 is also stronger (richer) than Cloud Whale J1, it has become Cloud Whale J4 and is far beyond Cloud Whale J1 many, many more....However, it is as strong as Cloud Whale J4, and there are also many flaws:1. Slow, sweeping and mopping is too slow. The AI whale spirit will adjust the number of re-sweeps according to the dirt on the ground, making the whole sweeping and mopping process extremely slow. Although the frequency can be adjusted faster, a few hours of repeated cleaning can be a bit lengthy. Given that it does clean up, there are pros and cons.
And,What's very strange is that the cloud whale J4 has made a lot of progress,But the cloud whale J1 and the cloud whale J4 have the same mapping speed。
2. You also need to pay attention to the wires at home, otherwise you will be entangled. There are times when you can't get out of trouble automatically and get stuckThis is good to wait for the firmware to be upgraded.
3. It has an anti-winding function, but only for the main brush, and the side brush will still wrap around the hair.
4. The tray will still have lint and needs to be cleaned manually.
5. Don't turn off the anti-drop, it's too good to climb the cabinet if you cross the obstacle, it is recommended to turn it on by default.
6. There is no hot water to wash the mop, and in the same price product, the cloud whale J4 cannot be self-cleaned by the base station. 7、Cloud WhaleJ1Sometimes the network is disconnected,The robot and the base station can't be connected,Cloud WhaleJ4 has improved a lot,But sometimes when cleaning the mop, it will be disconnected from the base station,Reposition。 Cloud whale J4There are a lot of improvements,And there are giveaways in the New Year,From the perspective of the old illiterate individual,It's still very cost-effective。 Publish a collection of dragon cards to share millions of cash
This is the physical object after the old illiterate individual arrives, that is, there are gifts that arrive together, but they are separated from two couriers).
