- MAX It is used during automatic operation of the device when additional cleaning of an overly dirty place is required and is turned on by a button on the remote control.
If wet cleaning is necessary, the dust compartment is replaced with a water tank, and a napkin is attached to the bottom. It receives liquid from the tank, which makes it possible to wipe the floors.
The robot vacuum cleaner is controlled by buttons on the body or a remote control. Using the timer, you can set the self-start time. The movement of the robot is controlled by sensors that are sensitive to changes in altitude and the appearance of obstacles. Protection against electric shock for the power adapter is class II, for the vacuum cleaner - class III.
