Functionality
Kitfort KT-503 robot, belongs to vacuum models. It effectively cleans any floor covering by picking up debris with the side brushes to the suction port and from there into the dust container. The smallest dust settles in the container, because the polluted air goes through the cleaning process using filters. There is no turbo brush in the equipment, but the cleaning efficiency remains high due to its high suction capacity. The trash compartment is a plastic box with a lid and a handle. It is easy to remove and clean. The fill level is controlled by an indicator.
Small dimensions give the vacuum cleaner the ability to drive under furniture, in hard-to-reach places. The vacuum cleaner has several modes:
- Auto. The robot starts cleaning on its own route.
- Local. It is removed only in one contaminated area. It moves in a spiral.
- Along the walls. The vacuum cleaner runs along the perimeter of the room, entering the corners.
- Manual. The movement and direction are set by the user.
- On schedule. The robot turns itself on on the specified day and time, performs cleaning, and returns to the station.
To carry out wet cleaning, it is necessary to install a special device with a microfiber napkin on the bottom, fill the tank with water.Liquid is supplied to the cloth from the reservoir by the drip method through special holes. In this case, the robot is able to collect excess liquid from the floor. The volume of the tank is enough for cleaning 50-60 square meters of floor.
The orientation of the robot in the room is provided by a competent set of sensors that sensitively detects obstacles on the way or exit to another level. You can control the device using buttons on the case and a remote control. If you need to delimit some area from cleaning, you should use a virtual wall.
