This vacuum cleaner combines two functions: dry and wet cleaning. The productivity - 2200 Pa, 4 modes of suction. Will help you cope with the cleaning of any complexity. Modes are ideal for cleaning dust, debris and pet hair.

With sensors and water distributor, the smart control unit of the 200 ml water tank controls the water supply to the tank and distributes it uniformly over the floor surface. Thanks to a three-stage filter, it effortlessly removes dust up to three microns thick. According to the developers, intelligent route planning is the ability to plan the cleaning of the entire apartment in real time, without missing a single corner.

The Mi Home app allows you to control the vacuum cleaner from your smartphone and starts cleaning remotely if you can't be at home at the time.

It is possible to control the robot with voice commands, which will save you from unnecessary contact with the device.

Functionality

When dry cleaning, the robots pick up debris under the bottom with the end brushes under the suction extension tube. The rubber shield makes the frame fit snugly and prevents dirt from getting on the floor.

Hair clinging to the carpet is easily removed with a soft brush.

Stiff petals are used to clean dirt or dust from the floor. They remove the dirt clinging to the floor and throw all the debris into the dust collector. Deep cleaning of medium pile carpets, picking up stones and small metal objects is done with the suction force of 2200 Pa.

For the robot to start wet cleaning, you need to attach a mop with a pre-moistened cloth soaked in water to the bottom. From the tank built into the vacuum cleaner, water flows through the nozzles in the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. Dosing is done by electric pumps and there is no stopping the wetting of the napkin. As soon as it stops - the wipe stops wetting.

Automatic cleaning will turn on automatically if you press the button on the body. If you want to get the most precise setup of the robot, you need to synchronize it with the Mi Home app on your mobile device. In order to control, the user is offered a number of options.

• automatic cleaning "snake" is introduced;
• spiral cleaning is triggered at a distance of 1 meter;
• the power and wetting of the wipe is regulated;
• the work schedule for the week ahead is made;
• the direction of movement is changed using the joystick;
• the created map is viewed;
• the robot is located by the sound it makes.

A 6-axis gyroscope and an odometer allow you to determine its location and the distance traveled. This simple way allows you to make a map-chart in the application. You should know that when the wheels slip, signs are drawn on the map, the vacuum cleaner thinks it has traveled more than it should. Thanks to the soft rubber bumper with tactile sensors, obstacles are recognized. Sensors prevent it from stepping on the landing or falling off the balcony.

Battery vacuum cleaner is able to work within 50-70 minutes without recharging and processes up to 120 square meters.

Customer Reviews

Elena

Unfortunately, I could not connect to wi-fi on the first try. Gave out wi-fi, set up the tablet and connected to the internet. After which the vacuum cleaner updated and started working without problems. Washes well, vacuums great. Sometimes the shock sensor stops working, then you need to tap it lightly with your fist, likes to swallow the wire. Cleans up clean and is generally a good thing. Is great friends with Alice, she can draw a plan of the room and remember it, as well as draw a map of the room. For the money it is a godsend.

Great turbo brush, carpets clean better than an expensive vacuum cleaner. The carpets wash well as well. Quality assembly and disassembly.

Vlad

Even a novice user can cope with it, as it has an intuitive interface. Qualitatively and without problems vacuums, wipes the floor of dust. I was afraid for not getting over the threshold - jumps easily. Cares about the quality of the work being done. Goes over the same place many times. Goes over twice in "perimeter" mode. Easy to clean carpeting. Can be programmed to clean at a specific time for her.

Overall, all is satisfied.
Selects suction mode for herself. Runs into carpet, turns on turbo mode.
There is one peculiarity - when it runs out of water, it takes longer to clean. Can go through the apartment three times.
