Auto Mode

Auto Mode utilizes DPC Technology™ (Dynamic Power Control Technology), which uses infrared sensors to automatically detect the amount of dust and debris that is traveling through the vacuum, and then adjusts the suction power to accommodate the amount of dust. If there is more dust, the suction power will be higher, and if there is less dust, the suction power will be lower.

Care & Maintainance

FAQs

Q: What makes the VortexIQ vacuum “smart”?

A built-in dust sensor that gauges particle concentration powers the vacuum’s Intelligent Auto Mode. It maximises cleaning efficiency and battery life by automatically increasing suction when more dirt is found and lowering power while cleaning lighter surfaces.

Q: How long does it take to fully charge the vacuum?

Usually, charging takes four to five hours. The battery’s LED indicators will display the charging status. After the battery is fully charged, unplug it for the longest possible battery life.

Q: Can I replace the battery?

Indeed. With the removable and replaceable battery pack of the VortexIQ LSV-VF401-AUS, you may change the batteries for longer cleaning sessions or future replacements. For compatibility and safety, only use approved Levoit replacement batteries.

Q: Can I use the vacuum on all types of floors?

Indeed. Hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet can all be safely vacuumed. The LED lights aid in illuminating dirt on dark floors, and the multi-surface motorised brush automatically adapts.

Q: How do I maintain the brush roll?

Remove the hair and dirt from the roller, disconnect the floor brush head, and, if a cleaning instrument is available, use it. To keep the suction functioning and avoid tangling, clean it every one to two weeks.

Q: Can the VortexIQ be used as a handheld vacuum?

Indeed! For cleaning furniture, car interiors, stairs, and confined spaces, it effortlessly transforms into a portable, lightweight device. For focused cleaning, use the 2-in-1 dusting brush or crevice tool.

Q: How do I know when the filter needs replacing?

It’s time to clean or replace the filter if you observe a decrease in suction, a lingering smell, or a filter alert icon (if visible). For optimal fit and filtration, only use authentic Levoit filters.
