Many users complained that the cleaning time in the automatic mode is too short. I decided to find out what affects it. From the manual I know that there is a possibility of extending the cleaning time in the automatic mode, after the scanning mode (wall follow mode at the beginning of each automatic program). Has anyone tried this modification?

Re: Electrolux Trilobite cleaning time...
I have the ZA1, approaching eight years old now.
The Trilobite calculates its cleaning time based upon the distance and angles turned during the perimeter sweep.
However, should the robot become confused, for instance under a dining chair, and cannot escape quickly, it rotates to and fro looking for an escape route. This back and forth swivelling seems to confuse the time calculation.
The best thing to do is to remove the chair. The manual suggested removing small tables. In other words, keep your house clutter free.
