ZACO W450 Robot Floor Cleaner User Manual

1. Introduction

The ZACO W450 is an intelligent robot floor cleaner designed exclusively for hard floors. It features distinct clean and dirty water tanks, ensuring that clean water is always used for mopping and dirty water is efficiently separated, preventing streaks and residue. Equipped with a powerful 2900 mAh Li-Ion battery, the W450 offers extended cleaning sessions of up to 80 minutes, covering areas up to 60 m² on various hard floor types.

Its precise 360° PanoView camera navigation with gyroscope ensures systematic and accurate cleaning paths, effectively removing dust, pet hair, and even stubborn dirt. Fall protection and obstacle sensors safeguard furniture and prevent the robot from entering carpeted areas. The W450 utilizes a 4-stage hybrid cleaning system for thorough results.

Control is convenient via the remote control, the ZACOHome app, or smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home. The app allows for customization of water flow, movement speed, and roller speed to suit different floor types (e.g., parquet or tiles). Cleaning progress can be monitored in real-time and reviewed in the cleaning history.
