- Alright, so you got home from the store,
you bought your R95, what comes next?
(amusing piano intro)
- I'm Christopher, Brian from
Customer Support at Ecovacs
is along with me, we're
basically gonna walk you through
what's in this box, how to
set up your robot correctly
so you can have the best
cleaning experience,
so Brian, kind of walk us
through what is actually in here?
Let's open this up for
everybody, let them see
what's in here, and this
is what you'll see when
you originally get your R95.
Obviously, the top of the
unit, this is the fabulous
mapping unit we talked
about; all of the information
you need in here, and you
probably want to start
with the Quick Start Guide,
but we're gonna quickly
kind of roll through what's
in the Quick Start Guide,
some good housekeeping for what
works and what doesn't work,
and basically get you off
and running through DEEBOT
as quickly as possible.
Now, when you first get your
DEEBOT, one of the things
you're gonna notice, Brian,
is that there is this strange,
little, white thing that
is on top of the DEEBOT;
what is that?
- [Brian] That's the protector,
this protects the front
bumper during transport,
because the front bumper,
it's integral to finding
its way around your house
and what the front bumper
does, if the front sensors
don't pick up on an object,
it's going to actually
bump into this and have
the robot change direction.
- And that's how we keep
them knocking over your
Mom's tea tables, so, what
we're basically gonna do
is we're gonna open up the
hatch, here, and you will see
there is a power switch,
not terribly surprising.
More importantly, when you
turn this on, you're gonna hear
these lovely sounds and
you're then, at this point,
gonna download the app that
allows you to connect the app
to the DEEBOT and start
activating the mapping function
and the advanced features
that are in this robot,
but first, you need to
reset it, so it can acquire
your Wi-Fi; how do we do that, Brian?
- Well (laughing)
Chris, we find a pin laying
around your house somewhere
and we put the pin right in
there to reset the DEEBOT
to start the connection
to your Wi-Fi system.
- Excellent, so that starts
the connection, by the way,
once again, we will
point out that like many
consumer electronic devices,
this product runs on two
point four gigahertz router,
so if you have a five
gigahertz, be aware that those
routers do have two available
radios, and in your app, you
can select the two point four
gigahertz option, so that
will allow you to make sure
you make that connection.
So please remember, two point
four gigahertz on the router,
not five; now, there's some
other pieces of hardware
in there, Brian, can you kind of
walk us through what else
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Is here?
- So, the robot comes with
two sets of side brushes
and what these side brushes
do is attach to the bottom
of the robot and with these
side brushes, they help sweep up
as the robot's going around;
you put in the red one on
the red side, the green
one on the green side,
they actually clean at
two different levels,
so you try and suck everything
into the bottom of the robot.
This also comes with a mopping
unit, and what this is,
it's a mop on the in the
front, and it's a drying pad
in the back and then you
actually fill it up with water
right here, you snap it
onto the back of the robot,
so actually while it's
vacuuming, you can have it
mopping at the same time,
so as it's moving forward,
it's vacuuming and then mopping
and then drying the floor as
it goes around your house.
- So when we talk about two stage mopping,
that's what we're talking
about is the ability to mop,
and then dry on in one pass.
- That's right.
- Excellent, so there's
another box that's here,
let's talk a little bit
about what's in that.
- So, this box contains
our charging station
and the charging station is
where the robot goes back to
after it's done charging and
it's battery is running low,
and what you do is you
plug this into an outlet
in your house, preferably
in a hidden spot,
but one easy enough for the robot to find,
and what the robot will
do is go out on a run for
about an hour, an hour and 15
minutes, and as the battery
gets low, it will go back
to this charging station
and recharge in about three to four hours.
- So that first time it goes
out, it's not really mapping,
it is building that
floor plan of your house,
so it can understand the
most optimal cleaning
pattern it can go on.
- Correct.
- So, that sounds like
it's very important,
you want to make sure that
the first map, if you will,
gets completed; what are some
handy helps or tips for that?
- Yeah, I mean, the
first thing you should do
when you set up your robot
is actually just look
around your house and look
for any obvious obstacles
that the robot might run into,
whether it's loose cables,
or fringe on an area rug,
maybe just clean it up
a little bit, get it out
of the way, so it has
an optimal area to run in
first, to create that map.
After it creates the map,
then you can actually set
up barriers using your app
to make sure it doesn't
go over those cables, or
doesn't go under that rug,
or actually, you can map off
entire areas of your house
where it won't go cleaning into.
But first, we want to create
that map, so that it learns
where and where it can't go,
and then you can set that.
- And those enhanced features sound great,
so with this product, you
don't actually have to setup
the hardware or the strips
on your floor to keep
the robot away from
certain rooms or areas;
you can do that on the app.
- That's right, the app
and the robot will learn
your entire house, and then
you'll never have to worry about
setting up guidelines or
markers, or putting shoes
to block doors; the robot will know where
and where not to go.
- And can you do scheduling
in the app, as well?
- Absolutely, you can schedule
it, daily, at any time
of the day, you can
schedule it once a week,
whatever you like and there's
a great log where you can see
when your robot goes out cleaning and when
it doesn't go out.
- And you can activate that
no matter where you are?
You just basically
- Yup, anywhere in the country
- Fire it up, and off it goes.
- You can interact with your
robot, you can actually track
this robot on the map, you
can see what room it is in,
and if you're across
town or across the world,
you can see where your robot
is, where it's cleaning
and where it's not.
- Well, that's excellent,
these have definitely
come a long way in a very
short period of time;
thank you, Brian, we appreciate it.
- Absolutely.
- And all of you have a a great
time with your R95 DEEBOT.
