Functional capabilities
The POWERbot series of robotic vacuum cleaners can operate in the following main modes:
- "Auto": Automatically cleans specified areas of the room once until the battery is almost completely discharged.
- "Area": Performs intensive cleaning of a specific area. This mode is suitable for picking up small debris scattered on the floor.
- "Repeat cleaning": if automatic cleaning is completed within 15 minutes, the robot will clean again until the battery is completely discharged.
- "Manual": the robot vacuum cleaner cleans the required area, while its movement can be controlled manually using the remote control.
Building a map of the premises
The Samsung VR10M7030WW also has additional features, an overview of which is provided below:
- Smart Cleaning: When a carpet is detected during normal operation, the robot vacuum cleaner's suction power will automatically increase.
- "Along Walls": When the Samsung VR10M7030WW detects a wall or corner thanks to a special sensor in the "Auto" or "Area" mode, an automatic shutter is triggered, and the vacuum cleaner moves to the wall or corner to remove accumulated dirt with a wide central brush.
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a FullView Sensor™ 2.0 navigation system, which allows it to scan the space and recognize all surrounding obstacles, including small objects over a large area.
Operation of sensors
Thanks to the Visionary Mapping+ system, the Samsung VR10M7030WW/EV robot creates a room map using sensors and a digital camera on its body, allowing it to calculate and plot the most optimal cleaning path. The robot features a timer and scheduling functions, which can be controlled via the remote control or via a smartphone via Wi-Fi.
Controlling a robot from your phone
The robot vacuum cleaner is easy to use and maintain. It features CycloneForce technology, which helps maintain maximum suction power over a long period of time. This technology creates centrifugal forces that remove dust from the air and direct it into the dust collector, keeping the filter clean.
Operating instructions
The user manual is included with the main components and contains information on the list of components, precautions, installation of accessories, charging, use and care of the device, as well as a description of technical characteristics and functionality.
