Functional capabilities
This review of the device allows you to familiarize yourself with its functionality and technical specifications. The AQUA-Series 01 robot vacuum cleaner from Clever Clean operates in several modes. The main ones include:
- Automatic. In this mode, the robot operates until the battery is completely discharged. During operation, the robot vacuum cleaner automatically determines its path. If necessary, it can be adjusted manually.
- Manual mode. This function is activated only after the robot has started working automatically. The device can be controlled using the buttons on the control panel or the remote control.
- Spot cleaning. This feature allows the device to clean a specific area of the room that requires special attention. Simply place the device in the desired location and turn on this mode.
In addition to the basic modes, there are additional ones. For example, the Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 01 robot vacuum cleaner can clean a room according to a user-defined schedule at specific days and times. It also easily cleans corners and debris along baseboards, and thanks to its compact size, it can even work under low furniture.
Charging on the base
The device's water tank allows for wet wiping. To do this, attach a special cloth to the bottom of the device and fill the tank with water and detergent.
The presence of multiple sensors allows the device to navigate obstacles and avoid collisions with furniture and other objects in the room. This is considered another advantage of a robotic vacuum cleaner.
Operating instructions
To ensure your robot vacuum cleaner serves you well and that you can troubleshoot even the most basic problems yourself, we recommend that you carefully read the user manual included with the device before using it.

Summing up
A description of the model's operation and characteristics allows for an overview of its key advantages and disadvantages. The Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 01 offers the following advantages:

- Automatic water supply to the cloth during wet cleaning ensures high-quality work, without interruptions or delays.
- Overcoming low obstacles and determining elevation changes.

- No control via Wi-Fi.
In addition to the aforementioned shortcomings, it should be noted that the Clever & Clean AQUA-Series 01 robot vacuum cleaner is already outdated, and many more functional models have appeared on the market.

Analogues:
We have a dog who sheds constantly at home. We bought the Clover Clean Aqua because, on the one hand, it doesn't have a turbo brush. So, you don't have to brush it out. On the other hand, it has a water tank for a full-fledged wet cleaning. Its cloth is large, unlike other robot vacuums. We've already cleaned the carpet. I chose it based on these factors, and it was a good choice. I still have to clean the floors myself, but much less often than before—once every 2-3 weeks. The robot can't get everywhere, after all. But it picks up pet hair, small debris, and dust well. With it, the house is much cleaner than before, and I don't have to clean it myself as much.
