Vexilar W11 Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum (Black)

How often does the self-emptying station need maintenance?

The 2-litre dust bag typically lasts 60 days with regular use, though this varies based on home size and debris levels. The app sends notifications when the bag needs replacing. Simply lift the station lid, remove the sealed bag and insert a new one. The station requires no other regular maintenance beyond occasional exterior wiping.

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

Yes, the Vexilar W11 seamlessly transitions between carpets, hardwood, laminate and tiles without manual intervention. The sensors automatically adjust suction power and brush pressure based on surface type. You can also set room-specific cleaning modes - vacuum-only for carpets and vacuum-plus-mop for hard floors.

How accurate is the LiDAR mapping system?

The LiDAR system creates highly precise maps by taking 2160 laser measurements per second with an 8-metre range. Initial mapping takes approximately 15 minutes and captures furniture placement, room boundaries and obstacles with millimetre accuracy. The system updates maps in real-time, adapting to moved furniture or new obstacles.

What happens if the robot gets stuck or encounters problems?

Built-in anti-collision and anti-fall sensors prevent most issues, but if the robot becomes stuck, it sends an alert to your smartphone. The app shows the exact location and problem type. The robot can climb thresholds up to 2cm high and navigates around chair legs and furniture automatically. If it does get stuck, simply clear the obstacle and press resume.

How does the mopping function work and is it effective?

The mopping system uses a 0.5-litre water tank with controlled water release onto washable microfibre cloths. Water flow adjusts automatically based on floor type and cleaning mode. The mop effectively removes sticky residues, light stains and daily grime. For best results, sweep or vacuum first, then run the mop function separately.

Can I control the robot when I'm away from home?

Yes, the Wi-Fi connected app provides full remote control from anywhere with internet access. Schedule cleaning sessions, start spot cleaning, adjust suction levels and monitor progress in real-time. The app also sends notifications about cleaning completion, errors, or maintenance needs. Voice control works with Alexa, Google Home and Siri.

How long does the battery last and what's the charging time?

The 10,400mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 180 minutes of continuous cleaning in quiet mode, covering approximately 450 square metres. Charging from empty takes about 4-5 hours. The robot automatically returns to dock when battery drops to 20%, recharges, then resumes cleaning from where it stopped.

Is the robot suitable for homes with pets?

Absolutely. The 6000Pa suction power effectively removes pet hair from carpets and upholstery, whilst the brushless motor design reduces hair tangling. The HEPA filtration system captures pet dander and allergens. The self-emptying feature is particularly beneficial for pet owners, as it contains hair and odours in sealed bags for hygienic disposal.
