Appearance

Kitfort KT-512

The design of the vacuum cleaner meets the corporate identity, it differs little from the previous models. The body has the shape of a regular circle, made of black plastic with a matte and glossy finish. The design is strict, the robot looks much more expensive than its cost.

On the top cover in the center there is a control panel that combines three touch buttons and a display. Above the display is the IR receiver of the remote control signals, just below the proprietary inscription and the button for removing the garbage collection container.

A soft bumper with a rubber pad is placed on the front side part, it softens the blows if the vacuum cleaner does not notice an obstacle and crashes into it. In the central part there are a pair of contacts for connecting to the base to replenish the charge. All around the collision sensors are covered with transparent plastic. On the back side there is a ventilation grill, behind it is a fan, it requires periodic cleaning and dismantling, it can be removed by pressing a button. On the right side of the bumper there is a cable connector and a mechanical power button.

At the bottom are large drive wheels and a swivel roller, a battery compartment cover, side brushes and a central one, a place for mounting a napkin holder mount, a suction hole. On the bottom there is a differential height sensor. Slightly below and to the right of the roller is a UV lamp for surface disinfection.

The main wheels of the vacuum cleaner are removed, installation is carried out on two screws, in the inside there is a motor. They are equipped with a disconnect switch, when the robot is on the floor, the contacts are closed and the robot moves, if the wheels come off the surface, their movement stops, and the vacuum cleaner goes into standby mode.

Functional

Kitfort KT-512

The robot is suitable for daily use on smooth, dry surfaces and light-pile carpets. The volume of the dust container is small, it is better to clean it after each cleaning cycle. On hard surfaces it works as a floor polisher - a frame and a moistened napkin on it are fixed to a special mount.

The control system is simple and intuitive. On the body, in the side of it, there is a start and stop button.The remote control is used for programming the schedule and setting the cleaning parameters, it is also used for manual control. The robot has built-in optical and IR sensors. On the bottom of the body there are sensors for viewing the room and building an optimal route.

The kit includes a special device for limiting the movement of the virtual wall. It has a built-in IR sensor that creates virtual barriers - invisible lines beyond which the vacuum cleaner cannot go.

The robot independently finds the charging base and connects to it. Sensors for finding the docking station are infrared, located at the bottom. The functionality includes the following cleaning modes: automatic, manual, local, scheduled. The optimum path for the robot is determined independently by the electronics.

The function of programming cleaning for each day of the week at a specified time is available. The main distinguishing feature of the model is a side brush that protrudes outside the body to collect litter in hard-to-reach places. Together with a brush equipped with bristly bristles and a scraper, a UV lamp, a nozzle for wet floor cleaning, the vacuum cleaner shows good cleaning results.
