Power
La Conga 1790 Ultra is part of the new generation of ultra-powerful robots from Cecotec (as its last name suggests). Although it is a mid-range robot, Its suction power is very high, reaching 2.100 Pascals, a figure that places it above competing models that double or even triple the price..

In addition, the design of the wheels and the damping system allows you overcome obstacles up to 2 centimeters high, so carpets of a certain thickness are not a problem.
Navigation
The navigation system is based on gyroscopic technology. The gyroscope is a kind of digital compass, which allows you to orient yourself and know where you have gone and where you have not.
Its SmartGyro 3.0 technology has proximity, anti-shock and anti-fall sensors, providing the robot with orderly and fluid movements, so that It is very efficient, cleaning the entire surface and doing it in less time.
La Conga 1790 Ultra Make a map of the home every time you go out to clean (that is, it does not save it or allow you to interact with it, like other higher-end robots from the brand itself do).
It does save it in the cleaning history, so you can see what it has cleaned, and it allows you to have Total Surface technology: If it doesn't finish cleaning, it returns to the base and, once loaded, leaves again to finish it.
It also has GPSHome technology, which allows you return to the charging base quickly and directly, reducing time to a minimum.
On the other hand, the 1790 Ultra It is not an excessively tall robot (especially when compared to laser models, which have a protruding turret), so it cleans under furniture with ease.
Brushes
La Conga 1790 Ultra features two side brushes, which sweep the dirt towards the center, where the rotating central brush and its great suction capacity do the rest, trapping the dirt inside.
The robot It has two central brushes, which you can exchange depending on your needs:

One, exclusive for solids, perfect if you don't want to scrub, since this way you have a good capacity, enough to clean a medium-sized home more than once.
The mixed tank, for those cases in which you want to vacuum and scrub, which has two compartments, one for water and another for the dirt that it vacuums up.

As for scrubbing, the Conga 1790 Ultra includes Scrubbing technology, the most advanced scrubbing system on the market in the field of multifunction robots.
Thanks to Scrubbing technology, The robot performs intensive scrubbing, with palm-shaped back-and-forth movements, similar to what people do when scrubbing., achieving a better result than robots that simply wipe with a wet mop while driving.
In addition, Its iWater technology allows you to dose the water flow, so we can choose between 3 levels: low, when we want to do light scrubbing; medium, for day-to-day cleaning; and high, for those situations in which there is a greater degree of dirt.
