Ultenic D10 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (Black, 32cm x 32cm)

How does the LiDAR navigation work and what makes it better than other systems?

The LiDAR system uses laser scanning to create precise 360-degree maps of your home, measuring distances and detecting obstacles with millimetre accuracy. Unlike camera-based or random-pattern robots, LiDAR works effectively in all lighting conditions and creates systematic cleaning paths. This technology reduces cleaning time by up to 40% and prevents the robot from getting stuck or missing areas, making it far more efficient than bump-and-go models.

Can the robot handle pet hair without getting clogged?

Yes, the V-shaped brush design with anti-tangle rollers specifically prevents pet hair from wrapping around the brush mechanism. The 5000Pa suction power easily lifts pet hair from carpets and hard floors, while the tangle-free system allows continuous operation without manual cleaning. The 340ml dustbin capacity handles significant amounts of pet hair before requiring emptying, making it ideal for multi-pet households.

How long does the battery last and what happens when it runs low?

The lithium-ion battery provides 150 minutes of continuous cleaning time, covering approximately 200 square metres. When battery level drops below 15%, the robot automatically returns to its charging base using the stored map. After recharging, it resumes cleaning from exactly where it stopped, ensuring complete coverage without user intervention. Full recharging typically takes 4-5 hours.

What floor types can this robot clean and does it adjust automatically?

The robot works on all floor surfaces including hardwood, tile, laminate and carpets up to 2cm thick. The auto carpet boost feature automatically increases suction power when it detects carpet surfaces for deeper cleaning. The 3-level adjustable mop function can be set for different floor types, with sensors preventing water damage by avoiding carpeted areas during mopping mode.

How do I set up no-go zones and virtual walls?

Using the smartphone app, you can draw up to 10 virtual no-go zones directly on the map after the initial cleaning cycle. Simply select areas around pet bowls, cables, or delicate furniture where you don't want the robot to clean. Virtual walls can be drawn as lines to block specific passages. These settings are saved permanently and apply to all future cleaning sessions until manually changed.

Is the robot really quiet enough for night cleaning?

At 50dB, the robot operates quieter than most household conversations (60dB) and significantly quieter than traditional upright vacuums (70-80dB). This makes it suitable for cleaning while you sleep, work from home, or watch television. The noise level is comparable to a quiet library, allowing you to schedule cleaning sessions at any time without disturbing household activities.

How does voice control work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

After connecting the robot to your home Wi-Fi and linking it to your voice assistant through the app, you can use simple voice commands like "Alexa, start cleaning" or "Hey Google, send the robot to the kitchen." Voice control supports starting/stopping cleaning, returning to base and checking battery status. The robot responds to commands from any connected Echo device or Google Home speaker in your house.

What maintenance is required and how often?

Empty the 340ml dustbin after each use or when the app indicates it's full. Clean the washable HEPA filter weekly under running water and allow to dry completely. The mop pad should be washed after each mopping session and replaced every 2-3 months. Wipe sensors and charging contacts monthly with a dry cloth. The main brush may need hair removal every 2 weeks, though the anti-tangle design minimises this requirement.
