The Ultimate Guide to Robot Vacuum Cleaners

The endless daily chores can be time-consuming and boring. You might spend hours every single day doing housekeeping, especially cleaning the floor: dust and hair fall not long after you’ve finish cleaning, messing up the floor again. It’s time to try a robotic vacuum cleaner! 

A robotic vacuum cleaner can automatically and orderly clean the floor from room to room, making your floor brighter and cleaner. Most importantly, when this little meek servant runs into your house, you can take a break or do your own things.

Nowadays, vacuuming robot is getting more popular as intelligent home device. Many want to invest in one to experience its convenience and high-efficiency cleaning and enjoy a fresh house without dust, allergens, and bacteria that hide in the dark corners.

However, the market is flooded with various models and different features, which is overwhelming for buyers.

Here is a guide to robotic vacuum cleaners, which can help people who are not familiar with the product. Read and see which model is right for you.

What to Look for in a Robot Vacuum

It's hard to precisely pick an ideal robotic vacuum cleaner if you don’t know some practical features of vacuuming. Here we list several crucial features that homeowners should look for when choosing a robot vacuum.

• Mapping system

Today, the mapping function has become a basic capability for most robot vacuums. Each upgraded robotic vacuum needs to learn the house’s layout before pitching into the cleaning work, and the mapping function can let the little robot understand and remember the position of rooms and objects like sofa, carpet, and bed. Generally speaking, the exact mapping function is also linked to the excellent navigation system.

• Navigation and boundaries

All the advanced robot vacuums work on a combination of sensors, which laid a solid foundation for smooth navigation. If your robot can’t navigate with sensitive sensors, you can find it looks a little clumsy for bumping into objects frequently and spinning in the wrong areas, which largely decreases the cleaning efficiency. In a word, excellent navigating capability and a sensor system can help a vacuuming robot set clear boundaries so that it won’t crash any objects.

• Automatic scheduling

Many robotic vacuum cleaners have scheduling functionality built-in. If you want to embrace a refreshing house every time after work, schedule the floor-cleaning work in advance, and your smart housekeeper will execute the plan on time.

However, some basic models need you to manually program it by using buttons. Other more advanced robots like ECOVACS have combined scheduling functions into the exclusive app, allowing its users to control or schedule DEEBOT through a smartphone.

• Voice control

The most popular robot vacuum cleaners are capable of voice control. Smart robot can recognize your instruction and then automatically begin cleaning work, giving you a totally hands-free experience: you can command it to clean specific areas at anytime and anywhere.

• Mopping function

A vacuum robot with a mopping function is suitable for people who have deep cleaning demands. Sometimes, vacuuming is not enough to clean the stains that are firmly stuck to the floor. A vacuuming robot with a mopping function can conduct centralized cleaning with wet wipes, leaving no dust or spot on your floor.

Equipped with OZMO Turbo 2.0 rotary mopping system, it has two wiper attachments that rotate at 180 revolutions per minute and exert up to 6 N pressure downwards for more efficient stain removal. The powerful mopping can make the surfaces of the floor shine again.

Likewise, DEEBOT X1 OMNI also provides both vacuuming and mopping functions. With two side brushes and a floating main brush, its integrated sweeping and suction function as well as a powerful mop can easily remove stubborn stains on the floor.

Is It Worth Getting a Vacuum and Mop Robot?

Robot vacuums have become prevalent in the last few years. The earlier models that would circle in the same place are gone. Plus, with the most advanced technology, some models like DEEBOT X1 Family have achieved automatic cleaning, which means it can go back to its dock, charge, self-clean the mopping pads, and then continue the cleaning work where it left off.

Maybe you are still hesitating about purchasing a robotic vacuum cleaner. After all, it seems more expensive generally than traditional vacuums. However, a vacuuming robot can offer you more than cleaning. It allows you to have more relaxing time with no worry about the dirty floor, which has changed the old lifestyle to make your life simpler and easier.

Therefore, vacuuming robots are definitely worth having.
