Product Features
Two-way virtual blocker (not included for Hovo 700 or Hovo 750)
The virtual blocker creates an invisible barrier that the cleaner will not cross. This can
confine the cleaner to a particular room or area.
The cleaner can control the water seeping speed of the water tank automatically. You can
select the water seeping speed through the remote control to achieve the optimal uniform
wet mopping effect. While charging, water seeping will be shut off automatically to prevent
water leakage.
Intelligent voice message for power-on, malfunction, dust bin full, improper operation,
water tank empty, etc.
One large capacity dust bin (0.9L ) used for normal vacuum cleaning, and a 0.6L capacity
water tank combined with one small dust bin (0.2L) used for vacuuming & wet mopping.
3D UV kills bacteria on floors, the suction inlet, and inside of the dust bin.
Patent V-shaped brush made of soft wool suitable for tiles, marble, and wood floors. Also
includes a rear brush made of rubber suitable for carpet deep cleaning.
The 3D conditioning level filter (effectively preventing clogging when the dustbin is close to
full) + HEPA filter prevent secondary air pollution. The dust bin and 3D filter can be
washed directly.
Hovo 780 model package includes two dust bins:
Patent intelligent programmable water tank (for Hovo 780 only)

The cleaner has an interchangeable roller brush and suction inlet designed to avoid getting
tangled on carpet. Refer to page 15-17 for details on swapping between the suction inlet
and the roller brush.
Product Features
The suction power of the cleaner is up to 40W and can pick up fine dust on turbo mode.
When the cleaner detects lots of dirt, it will adjust the suction power automatically, which
greatly improves the cleaning efficiency saves as much as 30% on electricity on normal
mode.
When detecting dirt or debris, the cleaner will automatically increase suction power. When
dust bin is full, the cleaner will give a voice alert and light up the " " icon on the display
panel.
