The Ziglint D5 is a simple robot vacuum released in 2018, in the budget segment.
Replacement-parts listings for this exact model turn up an interesting detail: JJ
Neumann, ibspot, and several eBay/Ubuy sellers sell the D5’s filters and brushes
as “compatible with the Tesvor X500,” and some listings group in the
Mamibot Exvac660 as well. There’s no official source confirming this, but it
fits a familiar pattern: the same base hardware sold under several brand names is
common in the budget segment.
Suction power is 1,800 Pa. In today’s active catalog it ranks
169th out of 181 devices, near
the bottom of the list. Most competitors have passed this figure since 2018.

The noise side looks better. At 60 dBA it ranks 23rd
out of 66 devices, in the top third. An unexpected result
for a seven-year-old, budget device.

Body height is 7.0 cm (2.9 inches), matching the manufacturer’s own
“super thin” claim. Across today’s entire active catalog
(204 devices), it trails only
Coredy R550 Ultra. Even today, the D5 is one of the better choices for
clearing low furniture.

The self-maintenance side is what you’d expect for the era: no mop, no
automatic dirt disposal, no water tank refilling; a normal limitation for 2018. It
does have a HEPA filter, a genuine plus. It offers four cleaning modes (auto,
scheduled, edge, spot), but according to Vacuum On Autopilot’s 2020 review the internal map resets
whenever the robot loses power, with no saved profile to fall back on. In a larger
home, that means remapping from scratch every time.
Highlights from user reviews
- Some owners who kept the D5 for over a year reported the mapping feature lost
room memory entirely; the internal map resets whenever power is lost, with no
saved profile.
- Strong on hard floors and thin, light-colored carpets; inconsistent on thick
or dark-colored rugs.
- At least one owner noted the robot still pulled up dust right after they had
vacuumed themselves, an observation that matches the suction numbers above.
- Some owners reported the battery failed outright after about a year (a sealed
2,500 mAh pack).
Buying one today means buying an orphaned product. There’s no manufacturer to
turn to if the battery fails, no firmware updates, and replacement parts come from
third-party sellers piggybacking on Tesvor/Mamibot compatibility, not from Ziglint
itself. D5 listings have carried a “no longer available” notice at various
retailers since at least 2021, and the brand doesn’t appear active in this
category any more.
Still, it holds a narrow edge. In today’s active catalog it’s nearly the
thinnest model around and sits in the quieter third for noise. For anyone after a
cheap, disposable dry vacuum that needs to slide under low furniture and stay quiet,
those two numbers are what it still has going for it.
