The equipment also includes an electrically operated intelligent water tank and water pump. The device precisely regulates the water outlet and creates enough pressure to prevent it from blocking.
Said chip integrated in the vacuum cleaner can also sense the water level. It intelligently controls the vacuum cleaner and does not move it without water, so that it does not damage the wooden floor for protection.
Higher suction power and a new laser system
The improved model is equipped with a Japanese engine with an adjustable air passage and a suction power of up to 2100 Pa. The equipment also includes the aforementioned laser environment detection system (LDS), which in this version can shoot up to a distance of 8 meters.

Subsequently, it is possible to clean according to these detected rooms. Rooms can be sorted, named and sorted. The cleaning schedule can thus be adjusted to a specific time and to a specific room.
Battery life does not disappoint
