Commissioning of the Conga 1890

As usual, It is recommended to fully charge it before using it for the first time, carrying out a long-term charge (for example, leaving it charging overnight). Subsequently, it will take between 3 and 4 hours to fully charge it.

The location of the base will preferably be in a central place in the house, and in an area where you have room to maneuver. Nevertheless, Thanks to its intelligent navigation technology and optical sensor, the robot will find the charging base and return to it via the best path, unlike other models on the market.

Like practically all robots on the market, the 1890 can be started from the button on the top. It is also possible to operate it from the remote control or through voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home), Although the best thing, to get the most out of it, is to use the app, which will allow access to all functions and greater information about the operation of the robot.

Therefore, in addition to charging the robot, The first thing we must do is install the app Conga 1690 1890, available for iOS and Android, and create an account if you don't have one. The app itself will guide us through the installation process, which is very simple.

It is recommended that the robot be close to the router while this first installation process is being carried out., to facilitate the connection.

Operation of the Conga 1890

La Conga 1890 is an ultra-powerful robot, and it shows. With 2.700 Pascals, its suction capacity is clearly above other competing robots, even high-end ones., with prices that multiply by two or three (or even more) that of this device.

Thanks to this power and the design of its brushes, The 1890 effectively captures dirt on all types of surfaces. In addition, a good job of sound insulation has been done and the new generation of motors are quieter, so that noise remains at a very contained level, below 64 decibels, being compatible with the performance of other tasks.

Moreover, It has 3 power levels, which allow you to choose the most appropriate one at all times. Already at the lowest level, the robot provides sufficient power in most cases, and higher than the highest of many competing robots.

The brushes that this model comes with are an important advantage compared to other competing devices. Typically, the vast majority of robots include a single central brush, suitable for all types of floors. The Conga 1890 includes three brushes:

La Conga 1890 has iTech SmartGyro Eye intelligent navigation technology, combining a gyroscope with an optical sensor, for a better result.

The gyroscope is a type of digital compass that allows the robot to map the room, so that the robot knows where it has passed and where it has not. This way, cleans 100% of the surface, and is more efficient, because it does not go through the same site several times, like robots with random navigation.

In addition, The inclusion of the optical sensor allows greater precision when cleaning, which results in an even more orderly cleaning. The robot will clean the rooms by drawing large straight lines and traveling through quadrants until it is finished. The optical sensor also provides better location to the robot, so as not to get lost and to better find the charging base.

Through the application, we can see how the robot is cleaning all the rooms (although we will not be able to interact with it, as in the high-end models, equipped with lasers).

With the 1890 we can define a restricted area, using the magnetic stripe that comes with. This can be useful to prevent the robot from accessing a baby's room, the pet's feeding bowl, the children's play area or, for example, if we are going to scrub and want to prevent it from climbing on a carpet.

This robot has a 2.600 mAh lithium battery, which provides it with good autonomy, up to 160 minutes. This is more than enough to clean medium-sized or even large homes. It must be taken into account that the 1890 is extremely efficient, thanks to its advanced navigation system.

As usual, when it is running out of battery, it returns to the charging base on its own. If you have not finished cleaning the home completely, the Conga 1890 has loading and continuation. Thanks to technology Total Surface, the Conga 1890 will return to base and once loaded, will resume cleaning where it left off.

On carpets, Conga 1890 does a great job. Its high power, the design of its brushes and the Turbo Clean Carpet technology, which activates maximum power when it is on a carpet, allow it to leave them impeccable.

Furthermore, thanks to its suspension system It is capable of overcoming obstacles up to two centimeters high, so rugs of a certain thickness are not a problem.

Its tank has a good width, more than enough to carry out several cleaning cycles, and it is easy to empty.

On the other hand, the height of the robot is not excessiveIts 8 centimeters allow it to slip under furniture without problem, to clean the dirt that usually accumulates there.

Using the app

To get the most out of the robot, it is recommended to use the mobile application, which allows greater customization of cleaning.

If your router is dual, that is, if you have two networks, one 2,4 GHz and one 5 GHz, keep in mind that you must choose the 2,4 GHz one (the 5 GHz one will have 5G or similar).

Through the app, you can choose between different cleaning modes (which we tell you in detail in the next section).

In addition, you will be able to program the robot in a very detailed way, defining aspects such as, for example, power and water flow, thanks to All-TimeTable technology.

Cleaning modes

La Conga 1890 It has a very high level of cleaning customization, you can define a multitude of parameters to do it to your liking. In addition to having 3 power levels and 3 scrubbing levels, it includes up to 10 cleaning modes:

Scrubbing, the most advanced scrubbing technology

Cecotec has been incorporating scrubbing technology into its robot vacuum cleaners for years.. Many robots only include the vacuum function, and some of those that mop cannot do it at the same time as vacuuming. In the case of the Conga, they can perform their functions simultaneously.

Even if you don't care about the mopping function, the inclusion of the mop provides an advantage, and that is that it traps dust better on hard floors; If we add to this the effectiveness of the Jalisco microfiber brush, we will obtain exceptional work on this type of surface. And if you also spray the mop with a specific spray, your floors will be clean and shiny.

In the scrubbing section, the Conga incorporates the most advanced system on the market, Scrubbing technology. The robot makes a back-and-forth movement, in the shape of a palm tree, moving back and forth, similar to what people do when scrubbing.. In this way, it helps to leave the floor cleaner and even removes some stuck-on dirt.

Moreover, the 1890 also has an electronic water flow dosing system. This way, you can set the flow of liquid you want, according to your cleaning needs: low level, for light scrubbing or, for example, for varnished wooden floors; medium, for daily cleaning; or high, when you have a higher degree of dirt.

Its Twin Floor mop, made of two materials, also contributes to the good results., providing a professional cleaning result in two stages.
