How the Roborock Flexi Pro works
This type of devices provide great versatility, since they are capable of vacuuming solid, liquid and semi-liquid dirt, being able to do several things at the same time.
The Roborock Flexi Pro is ideal for “lively” homes, where there are pets and/or small children, or where there is a garden, for example, since it allows you to solve various problems that may arise with a single device and in one go: spilled coffee or milk, baby food, porridge, sauces, juices, leftover fruit, cereals, crumbs from snacks, footprints, dirt , mud, or even a raw egg.
The versatility provided by this device is very high; In many of these situations, we would need more than one tool to solve the problem: a broom, a dustpan, a vacuum cleaner, a mop... with the Roborock Flexi Pro it is solved in one go!

What's more, The head incorporates a powerful light that offers clear illumination, making cleaning under furniture, sofas or beds easier and more effective.
Double water tank
The operation of this type of device is based on a double water tank, one for clean water, and another in which dirty water and the remains of solid dirt that are collected are collected.
Thus, you can always scrub with clean water; The resulting dirty water ends up in the corresponding container, so it does not mix with the clean water, achieving a more effective and hygienic result than with traditional scrubbing (in which, after just a few passes, the water used is already dirty).
The tank capacity is quite good, since it reaches 730 milliliters for clean water and 450 for dirty water (as a comparison, those of the well-known Tineco Floor One S3 are 600 and 500 milliliters, respectively).
Mopping with the Roborock Flexi Pro leaves the floor slightly damp, drying in a few minutes, making it very practical to combine efficiency and speed.
Power
