Functionality

The Polaris PVCR 0826 has a high suction power, which is maintained at a constant level by the cyclone technology, thereby increasing the life of the motor. The air, once in the dust collector, is subjected to triple filtration, and the HEPA filter also absorbs harmful allergens, preventing them from penetrating outside. The robot can work in five modes:

1. Normal cleaning, when the vacuum cleaner automatically sets a route for itself.
2. Local cleaning of a specific area with heavy pollution. Cleaning takes place in one place, the device meticulously deals with only the specified area.
3. Cleaning around the perimeter of the room above the walls and near the baseboards.

5. Quick cleaning lasts 30 minutes. During this time, the device manages to clean a room with a small area.

The work of the cleaner is controlled by a remote control. The vacuum cleaner is charged at the base, where it automatically returns at the end of the program or when the charge runs out. In this case, he himself calculates the time it takes him to get a full charge. In addition, recharging is also possible through a power adapter from the mains.

The robot perfectly cleans a smooth surface, but with carpets with a pile length of more than 2 cm, it has difficulties. Orientation in space to the device is provided by a set of specially selected sensors.
