INTRODUCTION
Explore the benefits of your own robotic vacuum at a cost that makes sense. Ultra-
compact at just over 3" tall (3.34"), the MP Cadet Robot Vacuum will easily clean under your
furniture with the dual side brushes giving you a wide cleaning path. The 10-watt motor is
powerful enough to tackle pet hair, carpet, and hardwood floors. It is loaded with features
you would find at prices over 4 times higher. The anti-drop sensor enables the vacuum to
easily navigate around stairs or other precarious zones. The anti-collision bump sensor will
keep your vacuum from shifting your furniture, such as chairs or other small objects,
around your home.
