Electrolux EL520A Trilobite Automatic Vacuum Cleaner

Be the first to own a Trilobite, Order Now! The Trilobite?« is the world?s only series-manufactured, automatic vacuum cleaner. The first prototype was presented to the public in 1997 on the BBC TV program ?Tomorrow?s World.? The Trilobite?«, which will be on the market in May of 2004, has extensive research and development behind it. The Trilobite?« is a totally new product compared to the prototype that was presented in 1997. The product that soon will be available in shops has a charging station where the vacuum cleaner docks by itself, three cleaning programs (normal, quick, and spot vacuuming), a reusable dust box (no dust bags are needed), flexible drive wheel suspension and an LCD display. The Trilobite?« now also has improved sonar for navigation (more microphones and enhanced frequency), which improves its ?sight,? a new fan system and high-performance, environmentally friendly batteries (nickel-metal hydride). The actual vacuum cleaner system has also been improved in several ways, resulting in reduced noise levels and other benefits. Ultrasound Navigation The vacuum cleaner navigates using ultrasound just like a bat. The sonar that emits the ultrasound vibrates at a rate of 60,000 Hz and is coated with a thin gold plate for best performance. The Trilobite?« has no problem avoiding collision with things placed on the floor for example the dog?s water bowl. Special magnetic strips can be placed in doorways and other openings. These act as a wall, keeping the Trilobite?« in the room. The machine contains sophisticated electronics and four motors one for each driven wheel, one for the brush and one for the vacuum. Automatic Stair Sensor The new version of Trilobite?« contains a built-in infrared stair sensor helping it avoid falling down stairs without the need for magnetic strips or ?virtual walls.? Finds its own charger The Trilobite?« can find its own way back to the charger. On a full charge, the machine can clean for 60 minutes. If the cleaning hasn?t been completed when the vacuum cleaner needs to be charged, the Trilobite?« continues cleaning when charging is finished, after about two hours. Once cleaning is completed, the machine returns to its charging station and recharges automatically. Three Cleaning Programs The Trilobite?« has three cleaning programs normal, quick and spot. One charge is sufficient for one hour?s cleaning. Normal: The machine cleans first along the walls and then all open areas. When it scans the wall, the Trilobite?« creates a picture of the room. The wall phase then forms the basis for calculation of the time required for independent cleaning. Quick: Skips the wall phase and carries out independent cleaning directly. Spot: Cleans an area of approx. 10 sq feet twice.
