Functional capabilities
The Foxcleaner Up robot vacuum cleaner is convenient and easy to operate. Its design incorporates a popular cleaning system, consisting of two side brushes and a suction module. The side brushes direct debris collected along baseboards under the robot and toward the suction module. The absence of a central brush simplifies cleaning, eliminating the need to remove pet hair.
The vacuum cleaner's bottom is equipped with sensors that allow it to easily navigate the room, detect obstacles, and detect changes in altitude. Furthermore, instead of a conventional filter, it has a HEPA filter. This prevents dust and allergens from being re-circulated back into the air. They are securely trapped within the filter.
Dust collector location
The robot is controlled using buttons on the body. There's no remote control, but one isn't really needed, as the device operates in two modes: automatic cleaning and room cleaning in 20 minutes. The first mode is selected for cleaning the entire room, while the second is for targeting a specific, particularly dirty area.
