Three tips when buying a robot vacuum cleaner

Much of the joy and serenity that comes from no longer needing to vacuum will be ruined if you inadvertently buy a noisy robot vacuum cleaner. You may get some idea if you have the opportunity to try out the cleaner in store – otherwise look for comments about the noise level in product reviews and search for video reviews.

The size of your home affects what you should look for in a robot vacuum cleaner.

  • Small homes If you live in a small flat or house, you can save money by choosing a vacuum cleaner with a shorter battery life and manual emptying. If your small home is very cluttered, it may be worth investing in a vacuum cleaner that’s good at navigating, so it can access all areas of your home.

  • Large homes. If you live in a large home with a lot of open spaces, you’ll want a vacuum cleaner capable of cleaning for longer and which can hold more dirt or even empty the dirt automatically. Otherwise hunting down your robot vacuum cleaner and emptying it could very well turn into a new chore for you.

Robot vacuum cleaners are hugely popular with dog and cat owners. If you happen to be one of them, look for models that are good at the notoriously difficult task of vacuuming up pet hairs.

Vacuuming is just one part of keeping your home sanitary. Here you can find some tips for how to improve the air quality in your house.

ROBOT VACUUM

FAQ

When you buy a robot vacuum, it’s important to consider which functions you need in your vacuum, how large the area of your home is and how easy the surfaces are to clean. If you have pets and thick rugs, you should prioritise good suction, while a model with a mop function can be a good priority if you don’t have rugs in your home.

The robot vacuum is powered by a smart navigation system that assists the vacuum in sensing obstacles in your home, such as furniture and walls. To make this possible, all you need to do is programme your robot vacuum to learn the layout of your home, and when you boot it up for the first time, it’s saved in the memory of the machine. Some models have a built-in camera to differentiate the obstacles in your home, but the most common way for the machine to navigate through the rooms is with a laser.

Robot vacuums can often cross thresholds, but it depends on how high they are. Today, most models can cross thresholds up to one centimetre in height. For some models, even two centimetres are okay to cross. If you have a threshold higher than this, however, it can prove more difficult. The robot vacuum might need several attempts to cross, which can lead to the machine getting stuck or not crossing at all.
