This mode is activated by double-pressing the Start button. This unique mode is made possible by a specially designed body, measuring just 3 centimeters tall. It is truly one of the thinnest robot vacuum cleaners in the world.

Analogues:
I have a small apartment, 42 square meters, with very little open space. The Slim cleans everything thoroughly in an hour, even going under furniture. I empty the dustbin twice during cleaning, and sometimes I clean the brushes, as hair and thread can get caught in them, which can cause the robot to malfunction, causing it to beep and then stop. We don't use anything else to clean the floor, other than a weekly wet mop. It's a good robot, perfect for small apartments.
