Appearance
The design of the floor polisher is unusual and unique among all known vacuum cleaners in the series. The round body is made of high-strength and shock-resistant plastic. The manufacturer guarantees a service life of 5-6 years without destruction of the case. The main color is black. A drop of steel shade is drawn on top - the location of the only control button for the device. There is also the company logo in white. There are no sharp corners, the movements of the robot polisher are smooth, without jerks. This prevents the robot from colliding with objects of the environment, protection from scratches of the case.
The central part of the body is framed by a transparent round container. It is used to damp the floor. A filler cap and two wicks for wetting a white cloth are visible on the container. A network adapter connection is mounted around the circumference.
Bottom overview. Rubberized wheels, visually reliable enough. There are small smooth casters to increase adhesion to smooth flooring - marble or ceramic tiles, laminate, linoleum, carpet. Height sensors and battery compartment. You can see special Velcro straps on the bottom of the fluid reservoir. They are designed for attaching rags - blue or white.
This is what you will not see in the SC-MR83B99 - the garbage collection compartment. He is absent.
Functionality
It turns out that even with one indication button, which is responsible for the old and shutdown of the robot polisher, you can comfortably operate the equipment. The gadget is set in motion by pressing the button twice. After 2-3 seconds, SC-MR83B99 starts working. To turn off, the button is held down for 1-2 seconds. Pause - quickly press and release the button.
Indicator signals mean:
- Permanent, non-extinguishing - everything is normal, the battery is full, ready to work.
- Blinking - the battery is charging or the battery is running out, needs recharging.
How SC-MR83B99 works
Two napkins of different colors are included in the package - blue and white. Blue - for dry cleaning, collecting dirt, dust. The special surface of the cloth keeps the collected debris.
White with a smooth surface. Designed for wet wiping of the floor.
Rags (blue or white) are attached to the bottom of the base of the case, then a water tank is attached to the top. The power button starts the polisher, starts to move and wipe the floor, collect dust and dirt. For a blue rag, the reservoir is left empty.
If a white tissue is used, water is poured into the reservoir. The robot polisher does wet cleaning.
At the end of the processes, the cloth is removed, washed or machine washed, dried.
The fastening of napkins is convenient and simple. The rag is laid on the floor with a smooth surface up. The body is installed on it. The Velcro straps hold the napkin firmly and securely to the bottom.
How a white wipe is moistened
In small portions, water is supplied to the capper. To keep the moisture constant, special holes have been made at the base of the structure. They match up with the water tank rag wicks. Through them comes wetting. User advice - to wet the napkin first, wring it out and then fix it. Otherwise, the robot will perform part of the work dry until fully automatic humidification. It is forbidden to collect puddles from the floor. This is reported by the remark to the user in the instructions. The gadget itself does not leave puddles, using water sparingly. If you try to touch the cloth, then it is moderately damp.
The movement of the robotic cleaner is like a dance - step forward, turn. A step back is a turn. Visually, the trajectory looks chaotic, but the algorithm has been worked out by the developers of the model so that the device can move long distances on its own.
The round shape, compact dimensions will allow the floor polisher to reach and moisten all hard-to-reach places - under pedestals, sofas, armchairs.
Approaching the edge of the stairs, the robot stops and drives in the other direction. When completely detached from the surface, the gadget stops working automatically.
