It carries out a cleaning cycle in zigzag, then in Edge mode and  Random mode, and finally returns directly to the charging base memorizing the route.Moreover, it changes direction when it finds obstacles throughout its route and it returns to the charging base in a smart and direct way once the cleaning is over. It features the Total Surface function, with which the robot cleans the whole surface and then finishes its battery cleaning in Random mode.Back home mode The Back home mode can be activated at any point of any cleaning cycle. Once it is activated,  the robot will automatically return to the charging base. Recommendation: Remove the Wet & dry tank during charging.Scrubbing mode This robot also features a Scrubbing function. When this mode is activated, the robot moves in a swaying motion, simulating real scrubbing moves. It starts off carrying out a  cleaning cycle in a zig-zag motion, then in Edge mode, and finally returns to the charging base taking the straightest way and memorizing the route. If it runs out of battery before finishing, it will recharge and then resume cleaning until finished.
