Robotic vacuum cleaner technology specialist Nexaro has unveiled its latest model - the NR1700 - which it says has been developed to meet the demands of larger, more complex spaces than than the existing NR1500.

"The Nexaro NR 1700 is the ideal solution for large-scale and complex applications such as lobbies, showrooms and other complex room structures in hotels, office buildings or retail properties," explained Dr Henning Hayn, general manager.

"It therefore meets the highest requirements in commercial cleaning and at the same time ideally complements the Nexaro NR 1500, which remains the solution for smaller areas and specific applications such as hotel room cleaning."

Equipped with the latest sensor technology, the NR 1700 uses its long-range, high-precision laser distance sensor to navigate areas of up to 1,000 square metres. The machine adapts to different surface structures and thoroughly and cleans a wide variety of carpets and hard floors.

The new custom-made docking station makes it easier to precisely position the device thanks to built-in optical aids and ensures a reliable power supply so the robot is always ready for use. An illuminated on/off switch informs cleaning staff about the status of the docking station at a glance.

Other features include a rugged case with reinforced dust container cover for greater stability and patented auxiliary wheels for electrostatic discharge. The customised side cleaning brush is also designed to increase durability. And the newly integrated bevel behind the bumper also enables a smoother and closer clean around objects says Nexaro.
