Appearance

It's also black, but its dimensions are slightly larger: 300 x 300 x 80 mm versus 280 x 280 x 75 mm. However, its height remains low, allowing it to clean hard-to-reach areas in rooms.

Fall protection
For dry floor cleaning, the robot uses two side brushes that sweep up debris and sweep it toward the enlarged suction chute. The chute collects debris and dust into the dust collector, a 300-milliliter container with a dual filtration system (coarse filter and fine filter).
Cleaning technology
The dust bin is easily removed by the handle, making it easy to clean. The Kitfort KT-563's suction power is automatically adjusted based on surface dirtiness thanks to a dedicated dust sensor.
Dust collector
The robot vacuum cleaner has the following operating modes:
- auto;
- in a spiral;
