Zcwa BR151 Robot Vacuum And Mop Combo (Blue)

What floor types can this robot vacuum clean effectively?

The BR151 works on hard floors, wood floors, tile floors and low pile carpets. Its large wheels allow smooth transitions between different surfaces and can navigate thresholds up to 1.5cm high. The dual functionality means it can vacuum carpets effectively whilst mopping hard surfaces during the same cleaning cycle.

How do I set up the WiFi connection and app control?

Download the Tuya app on your smartphone and ensure your WiFi network operates on 2.4GHz frequency. The robot only supports 2.4GHz WiFi connections, not 5GHz networks. Follow the networking guide included in the package to connect the robot to your home network. Once connected you can control cleaning modes, schedule cleaning times and monitor the robot's status remotely.

How long does the battery last and how does charging work?

The lithium-ion battery provides 100-130 minutes of continuous cleaning time. When the battery level drops too low the robot automatically returns to its charging base without manual intervention. The charging base connects to the included power adapter and the robot will dock itself for recharging between cleaning sessions.

What maintenance is required for the water tank and filters?

Empty and refill the 230ml water tank as needed for mopping functions. The included mop pad is washable and reusable. The 220ml dust collector should be emptied regularly and the high-efficiency filter can be cleaned or replaced. The package includes spare side brushes which should be replaced when worn to maintain cleaning effectiveness.

Can I control the water flow rate during mopping?

Yes, the electronic water tank allows you to set two different water flow levels through the app or remote control. This lets you adjust the mopping intensity based on your floor type and cleaning requirements. Lower flow rates work well for light cleaning whilst higher flow rates tackle more stubborn stains and dirt.

How does the zigzag cleaning mode work?

The zigzag mode can be activated through the app or remote control and provides methodical cleaning coverage. Unlike the default random cleaning path, zigzag mode follows a systematic pattern that reduces missed areas and improves efficiency. This mode works best in open areas without too many obstacles that might interrupt the planned cleaning path.

What happens if the robot encounters stairs or furniture?

The robot uses 10 sensors to navigate safely around your home. Three ground sensors detect stairs and edges to prevent falls. Five infrared sensors identify furniture and walls, causing the robot to slow down and change direction. Two anti-collision sensors detect moving objects like pets or people and adjust the cleaning path accordingly.

Is voice control compatible with my smart home system?

The robot works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands. You can start cleaning, stop the robot or send it back to the charging base using voice commands. The robot must be connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi network and linked through the Tuya app for voice control functionality to work properly.
