Our verdict
The RoboKlean's argument is service, and on a robot vacuum that is a stronger argument than usual — these are the most failure-prone machines in home cleaning, and most brands will ask you to courier one to another state. KENT will send someone.
The hardware is entry-level and shares the budget-robot weakness: without LiDAR it does not know where it has been. Treat it as a daily maintenance machine for a small, tidy, hard-floored home, and expect to supplement it with a proper vacuum for anything thorough.
What we like
- KENT's technician network is a genuine advantage on a robot, where most brands offer courier-in only
- Handles tiles, marble and carpets adequately for daily maintenance
- Quiet at 65 dB
What we don't
- Gyroscopic navigation means unsystematic coverage and no reliable mapping
- 2,500 Pa is the lowest suction here
- Dragged mop pad wipes rather than scrubs

About KENT
The brand that made 'RO' a household word in India. KENT's mineral-ROTM positioning — RO plus UV plus UF with a TDS controller — is still the template most competitors follow. Strongest on purification hardware and spares availability; weakest on design, where the white-and-blue plastic aesthetic has aged.
