Fixr Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo T20 (Black, Self-Emptying)

How long does the self-emptying station work without maintenance?

The self-emptying station operates for up to 60 days without requiring bag changes. The 3.5L dust bag capacity handles debris from multiple cleaning cycles whilst the sealed system prevents odours. When the bag becomes full, the app sends notifications and replacement is straightforward with no mess.

Can this robot clean both carpets and hard floors effectively?

Yes, the 2-in-1 system handles hard floors, wood surfaces and low-pile carpets. Four suction levels adjust automatically based on surface detection, whilst the mopping function can be disabled for carpet areas. The floating brush system adapts to different floor heights and textures for consistent cleaning performance.

What happens if the robot gets stuck or encounters obstacles?

The LiDAR navigation system with 360° sensors detects obstacles before collision occurs. Anti-fall technology prevents tumbling down stairs whilst the mapping system learns room layouts to avoid future problems. If the robot does become stuck, it sends app notifications and can be manually relocated or rescued remotely.

How does the mapping and navigation system work?

USLAM Air 5.0 with LiDAR creates detailed floor maps during the first cleaning cycle. The system plans efficient routes to avoid duplicate cleaning whilst ensuring complete coverage. Maps are saved permanently and can store up to three different floor plans for multi-level homes or different cleaning zones.

Is the robot suitable for homes with pets?

The all-rubber floating brush specifically reduces hair entanglement compared to bristle brushes, making it ideal for pet hair collection. HEPA filtration captures pet dander and allergens whilst the powerful suction removes embedded hair from carpets. The self-emptying station prevents pet hair accumulation in the dustbin.

What voltage requirements does this robot have?

The robot operates on 110-120 volts and connects to 2.4GHz WiFi networks only. For use in 220-230V regions like the UK, a voltage transformer is recommended to prevent damage. The charging station and all electrical components are designed for North American voltage standards.

How is the robot controlled and programmed?

Control happens through three methods: the smart phone app, Alexa voice commands, or the included remote control. The app provides the most functionality including scheduling, mode selection, suction adjustment, no-go zone creation and virtual wall setup. Voice control works with basic commands like start, stop and return to dock.

What maintenance is required for optimal performance?

Regular maintenance includes emptying the water tank after mopping, cleaning the rubber brush weekly to remove debris and replacing the HEPA filter monthly. The self-emptying station requires dust bag replacement every 60 days. Sensors should be wiped clean periodically to maintain navigation accuracy.
