Wi-Fi and app setup for home vacuum devices

Twelve makers, one question each: what does the device need to get online? Every record names the app, the network it expects and how the phone passes it the details.

Lookup

App lookup

Each maker button opens a short summary: the app, the maker’s own domain and the route by which the phone hands over the network details.

A maker’s summary appears here once its button is chosen.

The directory below carries the same details for all twelve makers in a single table.

The directory lists every record with the device type, the app and the Wi-Fi bands its devices accept.

Method

How the records are compiled

Every record is drawn from the maker’s own setup articles, manuals and app store listings, with news coverage where a maker no longer publishes. Each fact carries a numbered note linking to its source, and every record shows the date it was last checked.

Records describe what a device needs and how its pairing works. What appears on screen, and in what order, is decided by each maker’s app and changes with its updates.

Safety

Before any setup conversation

  • No remote controlGenuine vacuum setup never hands a computer or phone to someone else to operate.
  • No numbers from adverts or pop-upsSetup starts in the maker’s app. A phone line printed in a pop-up, an advert or a surprise text leads somewhere else entirely.
  • No gift cards, crypto or wire transfersSetting up a vacuum costs nothing, and those payment methods are the ones impersonators ask for.

Impersonation of a vacuum maker is reported to national consumer and cybercrime bodies:
