Before first use, the sweeper requires an initial charge. Plug the AC charging adapter into a standard wall outlet and connect the other end to the charging port on the sweeper. A full initial charge takes approximately 16 to 20 hours. The indicator light will show when the unit is charging. Do not operate the sweeper while it is charging.
5. Operation

To turn the sweeper on, press the power button located on the handle or main unit. Press it again to turn the sweeper off.
5.2 Sweeping Floors
- The sweeper features a powerful brush-roll action that effectively picks up debris from various surfaces.
- Its swivel head allows for easy maneuverability around furniture and obstacles.
- The low profile design enables cleaning under furniture and hard-to-reach areas.
- A powered side brush helps to clean along walls and into corners, directing dirt into the main cleaning path.
- The brush roll has a view window, allowing you to monitor the debris being collected. This window can also snap off for direct application of bristles to baseboards and corners.
5.3 Handheld Conversion
The main sweeper unit can be easily detached from the handle to convert into a handheld unit. This is ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or inside automobiles.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Emptying the Dirt Tray
The sweeper features a large-capacity dirt tray that collects debris without the need for bags or filters. To empty, simply remove the dirt tray from the main unit and dispose of the contents. Reattach the tray securely after emptying.
6.2 Cleaning the Brush Roll
Periodically inspect the brush roll for tangled hair, strings, or debris. To clean, turn off the sweeper and carefully remove any obstructions from the brush roll. This ensures optimal cleaning performance.
7. Charging the Battery
To recharge the sweeper, plug the AC adapter into the charging port. A full charge typically takes 16 to 20 hours. Once fully charged, the sweeper provides approximately 30 to 45 minutes of runtime, depending on the type of use and surface.
- Ensure the sweeper is turned off before charging.
