Drying systems can use warm air or ambient air, with different cycle times and conditions. Read the exact model description rather than assuming every automatic station contains a heater.

A practical checklist

  1. Check whether drying is heated and whether its duration is adjustable.
  2. Consider ventilation and the room's normal conditions.
  3. Inspect pad dryness and clean the tray instead of judging solely by warmth at the vent.

What this looks like at home

Eufy Omni C20 lists room-temperature drying, while X10 Pro Omni lists warm-air drying.

Keep clean water, dirty water and dry dust separate

Check What matters
Clean-water side Use the permitted water and solution method.
Dirty-water side Empty and clean the removable tank as directed.
Pads, roller and tray Inspect, clean and dry only as the manual allows.

A mistake to avoid

Warm air alone does not establish sterilisation or eliminate the need for cleaning.
