Preparations Before Using a Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Charge
Remember to fully charge your vacuum cleaner before using it to have a longer cleaning duration. For example, the Roborock H5 offers two charging options: charge via the charging dock or cable charging, and it can last up to 60 minutes after a full charge.
Examination
It’s important to examine your vacuum cleaner before using it. You should often inspect your vacuum cleaner by looking at the filter and dust bin. Keeping the filter and dust bin clean can improve both the vacuuming effectiveness and increase your user experience.
The Roborock H5 features a one-button emptying mechanism, where the dustbin can be emptied with a simple click of a button.
Make way for vacuum to move around
Move furniture or small items to create enough space for the vacuum to move around, rather than moving them while vacuuming. This can save a significant amount of physical labor. Ensure there are no small items like toys or pens in the way, as they can damage your vacuum cleaner.
How to Use Roborock H5

The Roborock H5 comes with Carpet Boost function where suction power is automatically increased by up to 50% when cleaning on carpets.
