Just like a typical robot-based vacuum cleaner, the i5 Robot Vacuum comes with a three-stage cleaning system. The spinning side brushes, Central rolling brush, and a 1000pa suction helps in both sweeping & vacuum the dust. The 120-degree camera in the center helps to watch & record the activities at home, which can also be considered as an in-house security device.
