Legee D8 is a vacuum mop robot designed for cleaning floors in the home. The robot combines front suction with a reciprocating mop pad that presses against the floor to remove stains. An eco compactor trash bin compresses the collected dirt, so the bin holds up to five times more and is emptied less often. This solution removes the need for a large dust collecting base and for disposable dust bags. The tangless suction inlet picks up hair before the brushroll, which keeps maintenance simple. The mop pad lifts to avoid wetting carpets.

Unique Properties
Legee D8 goes green with its patented eco friendly concept. While it stands out from other cleaning robots due to efficient vacuuming and mopping, and easy maintenance, its most unique feature is the eco compactor trash bin, which can retain five times more dirt than other cleaning robots. The frequency of emptying the trash bin is noticeably reduced, eliminating the need for the users to sacrifice the space to fit the bulky dust collecting bases, nor the usage of disposable dust bags.

Design Challenge
In order to incorporate a strong and stable enough compressor into the trash bin, the wind resistance and mechanical strength are carefully calculated by the engineers. After the prototype is made, fine changes followed by a series of experiments helped the team to ensure the trash compression goes smoothly while clearing the filter seamlessly. The material of the part is extra durable, and the realization of the design is precisely executed to ensure the quality of the final products.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2022 in Taiwan and finished in December 2022 in Taiwan, and was launched in Taiwan in December 2022 and will be available globally in March 2023.
Operation Flow
With its front suction and brushroll to clean with 5000pa suction and reciprocation mopping to shine the floor, it also leaves no tangled hair on the brushroll, making it easy to maintain after use. A built in eco compactor trash bin of leegeD8 that can free up to 5 times more capacity by squeezing the trash and clearing the filter to maintain strong suction at the same time. This feature eliminates the need for an extra dust collecting base, making it an eco friendly choice for users.
Research
In this applied research, the objective is to simplify the maintenance experience while also minimizing the environmental impact. The design team observed that most of the dirt in the trash bins is often loosed. After calculation and experiments, the additional flap inside of the trash bin is designed to compress the dirt and clears the air channel. The design eliminates the need for a dust collecting base and the disposable dust bag waste, making Legee D8 a green choice for user and the planet.
Inspiration
Legee D8 eco compactor is a leading go green design of vacuum mop robots. Drawing inspiration from rubbish trucks, its built in trash pressor allows the trash bin to contain up to 5 times more dirt, extending its usage span after each empty. Unlike other brands that require a dust collecting base that can take up much space, Legee D8 eco compactor offers the same convenience within its compact mechanism and does not require a dust bag. It brings both efficiency and sustainability for cleaning.
