The robotic floor polisher is stylish, compact, has a GPS navigation system, easy to use and manage, with an improved battery (li-Ion 2000 mAh) can work autonomously for up to 3 hours. I will talk about the technical and functional capabilities of the model and analyze the pros and cons.

Wet cleaning - cleaning the floor from stubborn stains, dust, debris, it is useful for heavily soiled floors. Time to restore order - up to 120 minutes.
The scheme of starting the robot floor polisher for dry mode:
