Functionality
The vacuum cleaner cleans the surface with side brushes that sweep the debris toward the suction port. Pile stands for the body, which allows the brushes to get farther than the robot can advance, for example, in corners or along baseboards.
The suction port is located under the dust container where debris is screened out by double filtration. One of the filters (HEPA) helps get rid of even allergens. A container with a handle, which makes it easy to remove for cleaning, which will often have to be done due to its small volume.
The vacuum cleaner must be put on the floor, turn on the button on the side, then click on the button on the body or select the desired mode using the remote control. There are three options for its operation:
- Auto. The robot itself chooses the route of movement, taking into account the dimensions and congestion of the room.
- Edge. It moves along the walls with the approach to the corners (around the perimeter).
- Random. Cleaning at random. The vacuum cleaner starts to move in a zigzag fashion, then changes routes to accommodate obstacles.
