The iHome AutoVac Halo (Model iHRV7) is a robotic vacuum cleaner designed for automated cleaning and hands-free maintenance. It features advanced laser navigation technology and multiple sensors to create a virtual map of your home, allowing it to avoid obstructions and cliffs. The device is equipped with a 2-in-1 Dustbin/Mop tank, enabling both vacuuming and mopping functionalities.
Function Description:
The AutoVac Halo is designed to intelligently clean your home by vacuuming and mopping. It uses advanced laser mapping to create a navigational map, which is updated with each clean cycle to account for changes in furniture or other obstructions. Once cleaning is finished or the battery is low, the Halo automatically returns to its Auto Empty Base to charge and empty its dustbin. The device can be controlled via a physical remote control or through the iHome Clean App, which offers advanced features like setting virtual boundaries, viewing cleaning history, and creating cleaning schedules.
