SPECIAL FEATURES
Random "Z" Type
Spiral Along the wall Spiral Spiral
First of all, it is our pleasure you have made a wise choice of this RV-14 Robotic
Vacuum Cleaner with Docking Station.
Its epochal revolutionary automatic vacuum cleaner, professionally designed remote
control and dusting paper make it best suitable for cleaning the house floor, including
wooden tile, synthetic plastic tile, ceramic tile. RV-14 Robotic Cleaner is definitely an
automatic housing helper. Once the RV-14 Robotic Cleaner is started up, it runs in
four courses of movement, random-->spiral-->along the wall-->spiral-->"Z" type-->
spiral-->random... Its movement covers every corner of the room. When it confronts
obstacles such as wall and furniture, it will continue moving along the side of wall or
the furniture. The side brushes will excavate the dust and ashes and collect them in
the dust bin. After finishing one wall, it will repeat running in four courses of movement
to clean another one. This movement ensures a thorough cleaning of the room.
With the docking station, when the battery soon runs out of power, it will automatically
find the docking station to be charged for next mission.
