For wet cleaning, the dust collector is removed, and a block with a combined tank filled with water is installed in its place. The liquid flows onto a microfiber cloth attached to the bottom of the appliance. When passing through the room, the napkin wipes the floor.
The device can be controlled by the remote control or using the buttons on the device itself. It has overheating protection. When a working robot is lifted off the floor, it automatically turns off.
