The folks at Solenco, the company that imports Hobot exclusively in Mzansi, revealed a brand new robot vacuum cleaner today with the Hobot Legee D7. This robot aims to simplify the robotic vacuum and mop experience – as quick as possible, with as little interruption as possible to the life of the user.
This device has what the company calls “a floor-type sensor” which the mop plate lifts 6mm when it senses carpet and water spray stops. In addition, thanks to a new ultrasonic carpet recognition system, also has the ability to tell the difference between a variety of surfaces. As such, it’s able to switch “seamlessly” between surfaces like hardwood and carpet.

This new model Legee D7 works with an “upgraded” main brush with a maximum 2700Pa of suction. This model works with Siri and Google Home abilities through a connected smartphone or tablet. This version also delivers smart mapping abilities and real-time reports with the app.
With a 4900mAh battery, this Legee D7 cleaning robot claims up to three hours of uninterrupted cleaning. That’s specifically in quiet mode, mind you – not in the heaviest of modes.

The Legee D7 is approximately 340 × 339 × 97.5 mm in size. It’ll be made available in white or black, with a dust bin capacity of 500ml. Each model works with a 320ml water tank capacity (for mopping).
The Legee D7 cleaning robot is on sale already at MSRP R8999.
