How do I store my vacuum?

We recommend storing the vacuum in the charging dock or on the wall-mounted dock that comes with the vacuum. You can place the main body of the vacuum on any flat surface.

How to store the battery if not use the device for a long time?

If the device is not being used for a long time, we suggest putting the battery in a cool and dry place. Please ensure that the battery is fully charged before storage and charge the machine at least every three months to refresh the battery.

How should I charge the battery?

You can charge the battery on the machine or take the battery out of the machine and charge it separately.

How long should I charge the vacuum?

The charging time is around 4~5 hours. When the indicator light turns to green from red, the vacuum is fully charged.

How long is the battery life?

Normally, the battery needs to be replaced after around 500 charging cycles. If you charge it three times a week, the battery can work for around three years.

Battery care

Use high power mode less

JIMMY vacuums are designed to be used in Auto or Normal mode for everyday cleaning. Turbo or Max modes are meant for powerful, intensive bursts of spot cleaning. Using them constantly speeds up degradation of the battery. If your machine has Eco mode, run time is maximised for a longer clean.

Avoid use in extreme hot or cold temperatures

Hot environments speed up battery aging. Try to avoid use in extreme hot weather or leaving your vacuum in rooms that experience direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The same goes for cold porches and garages in winter.

Store your vacuum at room temperature

Heat sources, such as radiators, can damage the battery. We recommend that you store your vacuum at temperatures between 18°C–28°C, away from direct sunlight and out of boiler cupboards. Do not store the battery in areas prone to extreme cold weather such as a garage, porch or shed.

Let it cool, but not too much

You can preserve the life of your battery by letting your machine cool down after use – before connecting it back up to the dock to recharge.

Give it a break

Let the battery run down to totally discharge, perform this at least once a month, you'll help to prolong its life. If you have a spare battery, we recommend you swap them out from time to time, so that they both have time to naturally discharge.
