1. Daily Maintenance

Daily care takes just a few minutes but significantly extends your robot's lifespan and ensures optimal suction performance.

Empty the Dustbin

Empty the dustbin after each cleaning session. Even with a self-emptying dock, check that the bin is emptying properly.

Brush Check

Quick visual inspection of main and side brushes. Remove larger debris and visibly tangled hair.

Wheel Check

Check that no large debris is caught in the wheels that could prevent the robot from moving properly.

Pet Owner Tip

Pet Households

If you have pets, check the brushes daily. Pet hair tangles quickly and reduces vacuuming efficiency. We also recommend more frequent filter changes.

  • Daily brush check for tangled hair
  • More frequent filter changes (every 2-3 months)
  • Empty dustbin after every cleaning session

2. Weekly Maintenance

Once a week, give your robot more thorough care. It takes about 10-15 minutes but significantly impacts cleaning quality.

Main Brush

Remove brush and use scissors to remove tangled hair. Clean the bearings.

Side Brushes

Unscrew side brushes and remove tangled hair. Check for damage.

Clean Filter

Remove filter and tap out. For washable filters, rinse and let dry 24h.

Clean Dustbin

Wipe dustbin with damp cloth. Check the seals.

Important Warning

Never insert a wet filter back into the robot! Moisture can damage the motor and cause mold growth. Always let the filter dry completely for at least 24 hours.

3. Monthly Maintenance

Once a month, perform complete maintenance of all robot components.

Clean Sensors

Gently wipe all sensors with a soft dry cloth – cliff sensors, bumpers, LiDAR, camera.

Charging Contacts

Clean contacts on both robot and dock with a dry cloth or cotton swab.

Clean Wheels

Turn the robot over and thoroughly clean all wheels from tangled hair and debris.

Check Wear

Inspect condition of all consumable parts and plan their replacement.

4. Mopping Maintenance

If your robot mops, this feature requires special care.

After Each Mopping

Empty remaining water, remove and rinse the mopping pad, let it dry.

Weekly Mop Maintenance

Rinse tank, wash pads in machine (40°C, no softener), clean seals.

Self-Cleaning Docks

Regularly empty dirty water, clean inside the dock, refill clean water.

5. Consumable Replacement

Regular replacement of consumable parts is key to maintaining robot performance.

Consumable Part Replacement Interval Signs of Wear
HEPA Filter 2-6 months Reduced suction, odor, visible damage
Main Brush 6-12 months Worn bristles, noise, reduced efficiency
Side Brushes 3-6 months Bent or missing bristles
Mopping Pads 1-3 months Loss of absorbency, permanent stains
Dust Bags 1-2 months Full bag, app indicator
Battery 2-3 years Significantly shorter runtime, unexpected shutdowns
Original replacement parts
Money-Saving Tip

Original vs. Alternative Parts

Buy original replacement parts directly from the manufacturer. Cheap alternatives can damage the robot and shorten its lifespan.

  • Original parts have guaranteed compatibility
  • Cheap alternatives often don't match exact dimensions
  • Low-quality filters can reduce suction power
  • Warranty may be voided when using non-original parts
