How does the OmniGrip mechanical arm actually work during cleaning?

The five-axis OmniGrip arm uses dual cameras, LED lighting and precision sensors to identify objects up to 300g. When it encounters items like socks, tissues or small toys, it gently lifts them using weight sensors to prevent damage. The arm moves these objects to a safe location, cleans the area underneath, then returns items to their designated spots as programmed in the app. This happens automatically during the cleaning cycle without requiring manual intervention.

What makes the 22,000Pa suction more effective than lower-powered models?

The 22,000Pa suction generates significantly more airflow than standard robot vacuums, typically rated between 2,000-5,000Pa. This powerful suction lifts embedded dirt from deep carpet fibres and extracts fine dust particles from hard floor crevices that weaker models leave behind. The FreeFlow Main Brush design channels this suction efficiently whilst preventing hair tangles, maintaining consistent performance throughout the cleaning cycle.

How does the hot water mopping system compare to regular mopping?

The 80°C hot water system breaks down grease, sticky residues and bacteria more effectively than cold water mopping. Hot water dissolves stubborn stains faster and provides better sanitisation of floor surfaces. The dual spinning mops apply consistent pressure whilst the integrated water tank maintains optimal temperature and dampness levels. This results in cleaner floors with reduced drying time compared to traditional cold water systems.

Can the robot handle different floor types in the same cleaning session?

Yes, the AdaptiLift Chassis automatically adjusts to different surfaces during cleaning. When transitioning from hard floors to carpets, it lifts the mop up to 22mm to prevent contamination whilst maintaining vacuum suction. The system can climb thresholds up to 4cm and recognises surface types through its sensors. The FlexiArm Riser components extend to clean edges and corners on all floor types effectively.

What maintenance does the Multifunctional Dock 4.0 require?

The dock requires minimal maintenance thanks to its self-cleaning capabilities. You need to refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank periodically. The detergent dispenser requires occasional refilling. The dock automatically washes itself at 80°C and dries components with 55°C warm air. The dust collection bag needs replacing approximately every 7 weeks depending on usage. All other maintenance functions are automated.

How accurate is the StarSight navigation system without LIDAR?

The StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 uses advanced camera technology and VertiBeam lateral obstacle avoidance to achieve precision comparable to LIDAR systems. It recognises 108+ obstacle types and creates detailed room maps quickly. The system excels in complex layouts with multiple obstacles and provides reliable navigation even in low-light conditions thanks to integrated LED lighting. The ultra-slim design allows access to areas traditional LIDAR-equipped robots cannot reach.

What pet-specific features does the Saros Z70 offer?

The robot includes comprehensive pet-friendly features including video calls to monitor pets remotely, pet and pet area recognition that pauses the main brush to avoid frightening animals and automatic suction boosting around pet areas for thorough hair removal. It captures pet snapshots during cleaning and includes a search function to help locate pets throughout the home. The zero-tangling brush system handles pet hair effectively without maintenance issues.

How long does the battery last and what is the coverage area?

The lithium-ion battery provides up to 420 hours of runtime, though actual cleaning time varies based on suction settings and floor types. The robot automatically returns to dock when battery levels are low and resumes cleaning after recharging. Coverage area depends on home layout and obstacles, but the efficient navigation system and powerful suction ensure thorough cleaning of large homes. The auto-return and resume function ensures complete coverage even in extensive floor plans.
