5.3 Smart iQ Technology (iQ, Floor, and Edge Sensors)

The vacuum features Smart iQ Technology, which uses three sensors to optimize cleaning performance:

  • iQ Sensor: Detects the amount of debris and automatically adjusts suction power. The iQ indicator lights on the handheld unit change color (green for low, yellow for medium, red for high) to visualize debris levels.
  • Diagram showing iQ indicator lights and vacuum head with iQ sensor detecting debris

6. Maintenance

6.1 Automatic Dust Collection

When the vacuum is placed on the automatic dust collection dock, it will automatically transfer collected debris from the vacuum's dust cup to the dock's larger dust bag. This reduces the frequency of manual dust disposal to approximately once a month, depending on usage and environment.
