Dreame leaves marks or does not vacuum properly: maintenance tips
The Dreame A1 robotic lawn mower is designed to provide precise and effective mowing thanks to its OmniSense™ technology and 3D obstacle avoidance system. However, issues such as marks left on the lawn or ineffective vacuuming may occur. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your Dreame A1 performing at its best.
Regular cleaning of blades and brushes
Blade inspection
The blades of the Dreame A1 should be regularly inspected for any wear or debris buildup. Dull or clogged blades can lead to uneven mowing and leave marks on the lawn. Replace the blades if necessary to ensure a clean cut.
Brush maintenance
The robot's brushes can accumulate grass and other debris, affecting the efficiency of the vacuuming. Clean them regularly to ensure optimal operation.
Checking sensors and the obstacle avoidance system
Sensor cleaning
The Dreame A1 uses 3D sensors to detect and avoid obstacles. Dirty sensors can lead to navigation errors, leaving unmowed or poorly vacuumed areas. Clean the sensors with a soft cloth to maintain their effectiveness.
Calibration of the OmniSense™ system
If the robot does not correctly follow the defined boundaries, it may be necessary to recalibrate the OmniSense™ system. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions.
Battery management and charging cycles
Monitoring battery life
A discharged battery can lead to incomplete mowing. Make sure the Dreame A1 is fully charged before each session. The robot automatically returns to its charging station when the battery is low, then resumes mowing once recharged.
Maintenance of the charging station
Keep the charging station clean and free of obstacles to facilitate the robot's return and ensure efficient charging.
Setting up the Dreamehome app
Defining mowing zones
Use the Dreamehome app to precisely define the mowing zones and no-go areas. Incorrect configuration can lead to unmowed areas or tracks on the lawn.
Firmware updates
Regularly check for firmware updates via the app to benefit from the latest improvements and bug fixes.
Weather and environmental conditions
Avoiding mowing in the rain
The Dreame A1 is equipped with an advanced rain sensor. If rain is detected, it automatically returns to the charging station and resumes mowing when the rain stops. Avoid scheduling mowing sessions during rainy periods to prevent tracks on the lawn.
Managing temporary obstacles
Remove temporary objects such as toys or garden tools from the lawn before mowing to avoid interruptions and ensure an even cut.
By following these maintenance tips, you will optimize the performance of your Dreame A1 lawn mower and maintain a pristine lawn.
