App and account

Which app, and whose account

The maker’s product page lists what the connection brings: the iLoop sensor’s dirt readings in real time, control of self-cleaning and maintenance notices during and after use1.

The link is held by the account. According to the product Q&A, deleting either the device or the account means connecting the machine again from the beginning1.

Network advice is brief: a stable 2.4 GHz connection1.

Inside

The parts that matter during setup

Numbers on the drawing match the descriptions below it.

  1. Display and iLoop ring

    The display reports status, and on many models the ring around it shifts colour with the dirt detected.

  2. Two tanks

    Clean water feeds the roller; used water returns to a separate tank.

  3. Tray

    Self-cleaning and charging happen with the machine standing in it.

After setup

What the app handles once connected

  • Live dirt readings
  • Self-cleaning

Imitations

A fake notice, taken apart

A reconstructed fake notice. No real number or link appears on this page.

Each numbered sign opens the reason it gives the imitation away.

Self-cleaning belongs to the machine and the app; nothing needs renewing by phone.

Genuine maintenance notices appear in the app.

Switching a feature off to force a call is a classic pressure tactic.

The wider pattern behind notices like this one is set out in the setup-scams guide.

Questions

Short answers

Is the app needed to clean?
No. The machine works by hand; the app adds readings and notices.

A steady 2.4 GHz connection, per the maker.
