Product Features

Auto Charging

When the battery is low, the robotic vacuum cleaner is automatically guided to the charger to enable it to perform a quick auto charge.

Edge-Cleaning Side ROTATING Brush

The edge-cleaning side rotating brush cleans dust from the edges.

Doorsill Crossing

	About 1 cm
Stair type	Vertical type

The robotic vacuum cleaner’s innovative driving system makes it possible for it to cross over doorsills with a height of about 1 cm and clean all rooms. The robotic vacuum cleaner has been designed so that it does not cross over doorsills that are higher than 1 cm for safety purposes.

Anti-Crash

The robotic vacuum cleaner detects and avoids obstacles in 2 stages. First, the 7 obstacle sensors detect obstacles in

stage 1 and if the robotic vacuum cleaner does crash into an obstacle, the 2 bumper sensors absorb the impact.

Auto Cleaning

The robotic vacuum cleaner will move by itself and automatically clean the house until cleaning is completed once.

■ If cleaning begins when the robotic vacuum cleaner is docked with the charger station, the time to return to the charger is decreased since the robotic vacuum cleaner remembers its original position while moving.

■ If the battery level becomes too low while cleaning, the robotic vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the charger station and resume cleaning after charging its battery. (Number of cleaning operations resumed: Once)
