Commissioning of the Conga 1090
Although the robot comes partially charged, it is advisable to perform a first long-term charge to ensure that it is fully charged before using it for the first time. From there, 3-4 hours will be enough to fully charge the robot.
The charging base must be firmly supported, and preferably located in a central location in the house, where the robot has enough space to detect the base and to maneuver. As a guide, there should be 1 meter towards each side of the base and 2 meters forward (not mandatory, but advisable).
Once the robot is loaded, we can start it using the button on the top, through the app or through voice commands.. This versatility allows great comfort when putting it to work.
With this Conga 1090 connected, we no longer need to be close to the robot, we can give it orders through Alexa or Google Home, or connect through the app and have it clean the house for us, while we are at work, in a cafe or at the street.
Operation of the Conga 1090 Connected
La Conga 1090 Connected has a similar operation to other robots Conga, which have conquered the market thanks to a good combination of features and functionalities.
To start with, this Conga, like others, It is a 4-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner, which means it sweeps, vacuums, mops and scrubs. And, also, unlike other robots on the market, it can do all four things at the same time. This way, you will be able to clean the house more completely and efficiently. It will finish in less time, and it will be more economical.
Its navigation is random, that is, it does not map or remember where it has passed. Nevertheless, The navigation software has been improved compared to the previous model, making it more organized and efficient.
La Conga 1090 Connected has two side brushes, which effectively collect the dust where the robot passes, and specifically, doing a good job where dirt tends to accumulate, in corners and corners.
The dirt is directed towards the center, where its rotating central brush (which can be the traditional one, made of bristles and silicone, or the BestFriend Care, made of rubber) collects it towards the interior, where its powerful turbine does the rest.
The 1090 Connected has 3 power levels: from 800 Pascals in Eco mode it does a good job; With the 1.200 Pa in Normal mode, day-to-day cleaning is easy; and with the 1.400 of the Turbo mode (which is activated automatically on carpets), there will be no dirt that can resist.
Finally, its high-efficiency filtering system keeps dirt inside, obtaining a cleaner environment.
If we have pets, the Conga 1090 Connected can be of great help, thanks to its BestFriend Care technology. The robot incorporates a rubber brush, specially designed to catch pet hair; Furthermore, like the rest of the range, the connected version of the Conga 1090 is quite quiet, so it will not bother people or animals.
La Conga 1090 Connected is a carpet specialist. In addition to its high suction power, Turbo Clean Carpet technology is added, which activate the turbo automatically when it detects that it is on one, maximizing its effectiveness.
In addition, Its rubber brush does a great job on carpets, allowing the dirt that gets between the hairs to be removed. And it is also notable that this robot It is capable of overcoming obstacles of up to 2 centimeters, so carpets of a certain thickness are not a problem for him.
Programmable
By supuesto, Conga 1090 is programmable. Programming is done easily through the app, as if an alarm was programmed on your mobile.
In addition to being able to schedule the robot's work at any time of the day, 7 days a week, Thanks to the app, various parameters can be established in programming (in its predecessor, with the remote control, it could not be done), such as the suction power or the scrubbing level.
The app is called Conga S1090/1099, and is available for iOS and Android.
If you follow the steps in the video and still have problems configuring the connection, it may be a matter of your phone's settings. If this is the problem, keep in mind that on Android, an option called “Activate WiFi automatically” or similar (depending on the version) will normally be activated, which automatically connects to quality WiFi networks, and can cause problems.
To turn it off, go to Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi > WiFi Preferences and turn off “Turn on WiFi automatically.” Return to the app, start the process again and when “Sending a message to the robot” appears, go to Settings > Network and Internet and connect to the network with a name similar to “Conga_***.” After returning to the app, in a few seconds you will see how it connects.
Voice assistants
With the Conga 1090 Connected you can enjoy the comfort of controlling the robot using voice commands, thanks to its Virtual Voice technology. Start cleaning, stop, go to the charging base or, for example, locate the robot, are things you can do using Alexa or Google Home.
Conga, the robot that scrubs
One of the defining characteristics of Conga They are robots that scrub. Already with the Excellence 990, Cecotec demonstrated that it was possible to have a robot capable of performing four functions at the same time and, furthermore, doing them well.
The 1090 Connected continues along the same lines, but also incorporates some new features. Of course, It has the new bi-material mop, capable of effectively trapping dirt.
In addition, it has electronic water flow metering, thanks to Wash4You technology, which allows you to exactly set the desired water level and distribute it more homogeneously.
Thus, There are three levels of scrubbing, which we can use according to the needs of the moment.: Low, when we simply need a light scrubbing, or for delicate surfaces; Medium, ideal for everyday scrubbing; and High, if we need a more thorough scrubbing.
La mixed tank technology It allows the robot to mop at the same time as it vacuums, since the liquid tank also includes a section to store solid dirt.
The tank capacity is quite good. The solids one offers 500 milliliters, enough for several cleaning cycles. For its part, the mixed tank offers 200 milliliters for water and about 350 for solids.
We can add a little non-corrosive floor cleaner to the water (approximately, in a proportion of 10 milliliters per 100 of water, and thus we will have the house clean and scented.
Many users are also delighted with the use of the dry mop. Thanks to its two materials, it traps dust and removes some dirt, achieving great results on porcelain and varnished wood floors. If we impregnate it with a little mop spray, the result can be spectacular.

Hello, María, thank you for coming to our website.
As for the Wifi connection, you couldn't do anything if yours is only 5G, it has to be 2,4 GHz.
This model is basically the same as the 1099 connected, but the 1099 includes the remote. We have not seen that they have the remote control for sale on the website, but you can contact the Cecotec SAT, at 96 321 07 28, and request it as a spare part.
All the best
Hello! I have bought the conga 1090 connected, but it does not connect to Wi-Fi because it is 5G. I have an iPhone system and this model does not have a remote control. What I can do?
Thanks. All the best,
Hello, Garbiñe, thank you for coming to our website.
We imagine so, because this model is basically the same as the 1099 connected, but the 1099 includes the remote. We have not seen that they have the remote control for sale on the website, but you can contact the Cecotec SAT, at 96 321 07 28, and request it as a spare part.

I have bought the model Conga 1090 Connect for my parents and they can't figure it out with the application... Is there any possibility of buying a remote control for this model so that they could operate it via remote control?
Hello, Ana, thank you for visiting our website.
When you put it to clean, do it from the charging base, let it come out from there, so that it can be located correctly. As far as possible, do not carry the robot in your hands, so that it does not become disoriented. You can also try to relocate the base to another area of the house, in case where it is now it does not detect it perfectly (and have it clean from the base).
All the best
Hi, I just bought a conga 1090 connected and after connecting it and downloading the application, when it starts cleaning and you press return home it is not able to reach the base. What could be the problem?
