Functionality
Vacuum cleaner Samsung NaviBot-S SR8980 is designed to collect dry debris from floor coverings. With the help of the side and main brushes, dust is directed to the suction port, from where it enters the dust collector. Dust is sifted out using a HEPA filter. The robot works in 4 modes:
- Auto. The vacuum cleaner moves randomly, cleaning the entire accessible area until the battery is completely discharged.
- Local. Cleaning a separate heavily soiled area.
- Manual. The movements of the device are set by the user from the remote control.
- Turbo. The robot increases the suction power and the center brush starts rotating at a high speed.
The device can be controlled by a remote control or touch buttons on the body panel. Indicators show the operating mode and battery level.
The camera and 12 sensors, by their well-coordinated work, help the robot assess the features of the room, draw up a sequential cleaning map, store it in memory and choose the appropriate path of movement. The device is also equipped with a sensor that allows you to determine the degree of floor contamination in order to clean individual areas more thoroughly.
Allows you to select the cleaning time for a specific day. To limit areas dangerous for the vacuum cleaner, two virtual walls are used. After finishing the work, the robot goes to the base and throws the collected debris into its dust compartment. The device is charged automatically.
