The box includes a charging dock, a wet cleaning cloth with a microfiber cloth, a spare side brush, a brush for cleaning the robot, user manuals, and a warranty card.
The robot uses an updated Laser Distance Sensor (LDS), which rotates 360-degree. LIDAR is responsible for navigation, an interference detection sensor is located on the front of the mechanical bumper, and the charging contacts are visible from behind.
You will find two buttons on top of the device – The power button which lets you start or pause the robot, and the Home button which forces return to the charging base. The dust collector is located under the top cover as you can see. The filtration system is based on a HEPA filter. The water tank (250 ml) is attached from the bottom of the housing.
