Functionality
Neato Robotics XV-21 has a high suction power. Due to it, in conjunction with a specific brush and a high-quality filter, the vacuum cleaner provides effective cleaning of any surfaces and various debris without polluting the surrounding air.
The device moves with a snake, making movements back and forth, or along the walls. The mode is selected after turning on the device with the desired button. The robot is equipped with laser scanning of the area to be cleaned using a rotating device on the top panel. The robot vacuum cleaner, having examined the room, makes a map and develops its own most acceptable path of movement. And optical sensors and sensors indicate obstacles and exit from one level to another.
On the vacuum cleaner, you can set a delay for the start of cleaning and its programming. When you change the mode, turn on and in a number of other cases, it produces sound alerts.The whole complex of these functions, complementing each other, makes the robot a good helper in cleaning rooms.
