Getting started
You can quickly get up and running with our step-by-step guide.
Fully charge before first use
For the best experience, we recommend fully charging your machine, and any additional batteries, as soon as you open the box and after every clean. This is because the battery and monitoring system's algorithm 'learns' over time, and fully charging your batteries helps it to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.

Frequently asked questions
The screen on your machine will remind you when it's time to clean your filter. This will usually be around once a month, but may be more frequent if you use your machine heavily. After cleaning your filter, always leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Ensure it's completely dry before refitting on your machine. We strongly recommend following the cleaning instructions and cleaning by hand. The filter is not suitable for dishwasher use.
A full charge takes up to 3.5 hours.
We recommend fully charging a spare battery soon after purchase, and alternating batteries regularly to prolong battery health.
Your battery has been designed to be left on charge, so it’s fine to leave it plugged in after charging.
We recommend fully charging your machine after every clean. This helps your vacuum's battery and monitoring system's algorithm to more accurately calculate and display remaining run time.
