This clever cleaning solution provides a total hands-free cleaning service in your home. With the capability to clean both carpeted and hard floors, the mop pads are self washed in water, then dried with 45°C (113°F) heated air to prevent bad odour. Its dust bin is emptied into the station's 2.5L dust bag, which only needs to be replaced every 2 months. The 3L clean water tank provides enough water to mop a 1,500-2,000 sq ft (150 sq m) home 2-3 times. It's also clever enough to dodge obstacles like toys and the roller brush can loosen hair wrapped around the rotating brush by itself!
