Functional

iRobot Roomba 886

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with the latest AeroForceTM dust and dirt collection system, which provides gentle and efficient cleaning of the room. The secret lies in the combination of two technologies:

  1. Conventional turbo brushes with bristled inserts have been replaced with scraper ribs that do not entangle wool and hair. These scrapers easily pick up dust, sand, wool and other debris. The model is suitable for pet lovers, it solves the problem of constantly winding wool on the brush, while the scrapers effectively cope with collecting wool, the vacuum cleaner does not stop due to the clogged brush.
  2. An air accelerator is installed in the robot, it creates a sealed air channel between the brushes, increasing the suction power and the efficiency of collecting small debris.

The outgoing air is cleaned by the H12 HEPA filter, which retains the smallest particles.

The vacuum cleaner operates in two main modes:

  1. Clean - independent movement along the entire perimeter of the room, the vacuum cleaner chooses the route independently, evaluating the area of ​​the room and using the data received from the sensors.
  2. Spot - local cleaning, during which a specific target area is treated. In this mode, the robot moves in a spiral with a diameter of 1 meter.

The Rumba 886 model has a built-in motion coordinator, a contamination recognition system, it consists of optical and acoustic sensors, while driving, they recognize various types of debris.When entering an area with significant pollution, the vacuum cleaner automatically increases the suction power.

The proprietary Wall-Following technology is used for navigation, it recognizes objects and walls in the room, simplifies cleaning in places with difficult access - along baseboards, in corners, under furniture. Side blades are used for cleaning in these areas. The navigation system tells the processor the exact distance to large objects along the way.

On the sides of the vacuum cleaner there are soft molded bumpers, even if a collision with an object occurs, it will not be damaged, as well as on the robot body. The safety of movement is also determined by the height difference sensor, it prevents falling.
