For TSA precheck, the module does not need to be removed and the entire bag can be scanned together. NOVO is classified as a smart bag with a removable battery.

Are there different cleaning cycle options for the system?

There are three cleaning cycles to choose from; Light (30 minutes), Normal (45 Minutes), and Heavy (60 Minutes). When your cycle is running, the app will highlight the stage it is on and show a countdown timer until completed. The button on the NOVO system will also flash different colors, corresponding to the current cycle stage it is on. You are advised not to open the bag during the first two stages flashing teal and magenta, in order to maximize cleaning performance. When the light begins flashing green in the final stage, you may end the cycle early and open the bag before the cycle is complete.

How often do you need to replace the filter cartridge?

Each cartridge is good for about 30 items - the cartridge stays fresh for up to 45 days after opening.

How long is the battery life?

You can use the USB chargers from the exterior side pocket.

Can I charge my phone while the system is in-use?

How easy is it to connect the bag to my smartphone?

We have made the process of connectivity seamless for new users; after receiving your NOVO, you’ll be asked to download the free DRESSFRESH Connect app. When launching the app, you will be directed to create an account and pair your NOVO. The app will additionally show you battery life, cartridge life, in-cycle progress and important notifications.

ionclean™ Technology

How is DRESSFRESH technology different from a typical laundry cycle?

Unlike traditional laundry cleaning cycles which remove dirt and stains, ionclean™ technology will sanitize and refresh your clothes, shoes, sports gear and more, without the use of water, heat or sprays. This eco-friendly process runs in two stages; the first charges air to create ionized oxygen, a powerful natural cleaner that eliminates anything living at the microbial level, effectively neutralizing odor molecules on your items. The second stage then filters the air through a scented cartridge to complete the refreshing cycle, while leaving behind a nice aroma.
