How does the zero-tangling system work with pet hair?

The DuoDivide Main Brush splits into two counter-rotating sections that prevent hair from wrapping around the brush. Combined with the FlexiArm Arc Side Brush, this dual system guides hair directly into the suction path rather than allowing it to tangle. Pet owners report significantly reduced brush maintenance compared to traditional single-brush designs, with many noting they rarely need to cut hair from brushes anymore.

What makes the hot water mop washing different from other robot mops?

The dock heats water to 75°C, which is hot enough to kill bacteria and break down grease that cold water cannot remove. Most robot mops simply rinse with room temperature water, but this system actually sanitises the mops whilst removing stubborn stains. The intelligent dirt detection ensures heavily soiled mops get extra washing cycles and warm air drying prevents mould growth.

Can it clean multiple floor types in one session?

Yes, the robot automatically detects floor types and adjusts cleaning modes accordingly. It lifts mops 10mm when moving onto carpets to prevent dampening, then lowers them for hard floors. The Carpet Boost+ system increases suction power on carpets whilst maintaining appropriate settings for hardwood, tile and laminate surfaces. This seamless transition means the entire home gets cleaned in one continuous cycle.

How accurate is the navigation and obstacle avoidance?

The PreciSense LiDAR creates detailed room maps whilst the Reactive Tech system uses structured light to identify objects in real-time. This dual navigation approach works in both bright and dark conditions, detecting furniture legs, cables and even pets. The system learns your home's layout and suggests no-go zones for areas that consistently cause issues, reducing the need for manual intervention.

How long does the auto dust emptying last?

The self-emptying system holds up to 7 weeks of debris for average-sized homes. The actual duration depends on home size, pet hair levels and cleaning frequency. Homes with multiple pets or high-traffic areas may need emptying more frequently, whilst smaller homes with minimal debris can often exceed 7 weeks. The app provides notifications when the bag needs replacing.

What WiFi requirements does it have?

The robot only connects to 2.4GHz WiFi networks and will not work with 5GHz-only setups. Many modern routers broadcast both frequencies, but some newer mesh systems default to 5GHz only. You'll need to ensure your router has 2.4GHz enabled or create a separate 2.4GHz network. VPN connections on your phone during initial setup can also interfere with pairing.

How effective is it on different carpet types?

The Carpet Boost+ system delivers 99% hair pick-up rates across low-pile to medium-pile carpets. It performs dual cleaning passes in a cross pattern with increased suction power. Three carpet settings allow customisation: carpet boost for regular cleaning, deep carpet cleaning for thorough sessions and vacuum-first mode for heavily soiled areas. Very thick or high-pile carpets may require manual vacuuming for optimal results.

What maintenance does the dock require?

The dock self-cleans with hot water after each use, but you'll need to refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank periodically. The detachable base makes this process straightforward. Monthly cleaning of the dock's internal components ensures optimal performance. The warm air drying system prevents mould growth, but occasional manual cleaning of the mop washing area maintains hygiene standards.
