Robot vacuums can keep your home clean without much effort. When buying a vacuum, consider , consider the type of flooring you have at home and the amount of furniture it would need to get around. If any of your family members suffer from allergies, pay particular attention to the filter type. What else should you know before buying a robot vacuum cleaner or mop and how do you choose the right one?
ContinueRobot vacuums clean up you home for you. The only thing you have to do is to occasionally empty the dust container. Unfortunately, they are not really suited for carpets, since they lack suction power compared to a conventional vacuum cleaner. They do well if you set them to clean hard floors and carpets with a fibre length up to 1 - 1.5 cm. Due to their low profile, robot vacuums sometimes have problems getting over thresholds and other small vertical obstacles.
Robotic mops are designed for scrubbing hard floors without your participation. They tend to have two types of cleaning wipes - one for scrubbing and one for dusting. Unlike robot vacuums, they don’t actually vacuum anything, but structurally they are very similar. These devices are ideal for cleaning laminate, vinyl, and PVC flooring or tiles.

There are two basic ways of how a robot can navigate around the room. If your rooms have a lot of furniture or a more complex shape, we recommend buying a robot with a mapping technology of some sort.

Robot vacuum cleaners have a lower suction power compared to conventional vacuum cleaners, but it’s enough for routine vacuuming. Of course, they are not suitable for carpets with longer filaments.
Robot vacuum cleaners tend to have a two-stage filtration system - input and output filters. The output filter is the more important of the two, as it affects the quality of the expelled air. Basic output filters are made of fabric, but we recommend choosing certified HEPA filters. These are made of fiberglass and are generally more durable and effective than fabric filters.
Most robot vacuums are equipped with two types of brushes - a side brush and a main brush roll.
Some robot vacuums can be remotely controlled via a mobile app. To do that, the robot must be equipped with a Wi-Fi module. The app lets you set up a cleaning schedule and if you are away from home, the app can show you the current cleaning stage.
Robotic vacuum cleaners have become an integral part of the modern day smart home. They are designed for cleaning wood and laminate floors, vacuuming carpets, tiles and linoleum, and can handle all kinds of dirt.
An essential part of robotic vacuum cleaners is the sensor that allows independent automatic movement, brushing and suction force adjustments. Robot vacuum cleaners can clean hard-to-reach areas, including corners of the room. They operate automatically from the docking station, where they return after they complete cleaning or have a low battery. These popular robotic assistants save you time and energy.
