Vexilar W9 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (Black, 6000Pa Suction)

How long does the W9 take to map my home initially?

The W9 uses advanced LiDAR technology to complete full-home mapping in just 15 minutes. During this initial mapping process, the robot systematically navigates your home using laser sensors to create a detailed floor plan with millimetre-level precision. This map is then stored and used for all future cleaning sessions to plan the most efficient routes.

Can the robot handle different floor types in one cleaning session?

Yes, the W9 automatically adjusts between floor types including carpets, hard floors, tiles, wooden floors and marble. It features carpet boost technology that increases suction power when detecting carpets and the 3-in-1 system allows you to set different water levels for mopping hard floors whilst vacuuming carpets in the same session.

How quiet is the robot during operation?

The W9 operates at just 50dB in quiet mode, which is equivalent to a whisper or light rainfall. This makes it perfect for cleaning during the night, early morning, or when children are sleeping. The brushless motor technology ensures consistently quiet operation without sacrificing cleaning performance across all three power modes.

What happens when the battery runs low during cleaning?

When the battery drops below 15%, the W9 automatically returns to its charging dock, recharges to full capacity, then resumes cleaning exactly where it left off. This breakpoint continuous cleaning ensures your entire home gets cleaned even if it takes longer than the maximum 150-minute runtime.

How many no-go zones can I set up?

You can create up to 15 no-go zones through the smartphone app. These virtual boundaries prevent the robot from entering specific areas like pet feeding stations, delicate furniture, or children's play areas. You can also set up virtual walls and customise room boundaries for more precise cleaning control.

Does the robot work with voice assistants?

Yes, the W9 is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri voice commands. You can start, stop, or schedule cleaning sessions using simple voice commands. The robot connects via 2.4GHz WiFi networks only, so ensure your smart home setup uses this frequency for voice control functionality.

How often do I need to empty the dustbin and water tank?

The 0.5-litre capacity dustbin typically needs emptying after 2-3 cleaning sessions for average-sized homes, though this varies based on debris levels and pet hair. The water tank lasts for approximately 150 square metres of mopping. Both containers feature easy-release mechanisms for quick maintenance without tools.

Can the robot clean under furniture effectively?

With its compact 9.8cm height, the W9 easily navigates under most furniture including beds, sofas and cabinets. The LiDAR navigation system detects low clearances and adjusts accordingly, whilst the side brushes extend reach into corners and edges that the main body cannot access directly.
