Choosing the right robot vacuum can be a daunting task. There are so many options, and each comes with its pros and cons. But don’t worry—we’re here to help you navigate the sea of options and find the perfect fit for your home. But first, you need to consider the following:
1. Type of Flooring
You should understand what kind of flooring you have in your home. Are there rugs, carpeting, tiles, hardwood floors, or laminate? Your flooring will dictate which robot vacuum is best for your needs.
You don’t need to worry about getting a robot vacuum with suction power or power brushes if it’s smooth hardwood floors. You’ll want one that’s light enough so the wheels don’t sink into deep carpeting. If you have rugs, carpets, or both, you’ll want to look for one with suction power and a brush roll because those two things work together to pick up dirt from all surfaces.
2. Floor Layout and Furniture
You should consider what kind of floors you have in your home and whether you have stairs or any other tricky areas that could get in the way of your new robot vacuum. The Ecovacs Deebot 901 is ideal for homes with bare floors and few obstacles.
3. Size of Your Room
The size of your room dictates what you want to clean before selecting a robot vacuum. A robot vacuum with a smaller battery will probably be sufficient if you have a small space. However, if you have a larger room or more than one floor in your home, you’ll need a more powerful model with more battery life.
4. Consider If You Have Pets
If you have a hairy pet, you should seek a robot vacuum with a tangle-free silicone brush and a prominent dust cup. It will ensure that all the hair is removed from the brush’s bristles and that it doesn’t clog up your vacuum’s filter. You can invest in the Ecovacs brand that has this feature.
How to Choose a Suitable Robot after Consideration
When you’re looking for a robot vacuum, there are a few characteristics to have in mind:
1. First-Rate Machinery
First, ensure it has some advanced technology. The most common technology used by robot vacuums is infrared sensors that can sense obstacles in front of them and avoid them if possible. Some models will also have cameras to detect walls and other obstacles. It is essential because it means you won’t have to help the robot when it gets stuck on something frequently—it can do it.
2. Perfectionism
How does this model work? Does it require constant supervision and constant cleaning because it misses spots? Or is it able to clean your home on its own without supervision? If you’d like a little help along the way, look for a model that includes remote control options. But ensure they’re easy enough for you to use without any prior technical experience.
3. Complete Set
Robot vacuums, including carpets and hardwood floors, can be used in almost any environment. It would be best if you considered an all-in-one cleaning robot vacuum. With this device, you do not need to buy bulky cleaning tools such as mops, brushes, and hoses. It is also straightforward to use because all you need to do is press a button and let the robot do its job.
4. Worth
It would be best if you considered the robot vacuum’s value. It is determined if it’s worth the price; you need to think about how much time and money it will save you in the long run. It can be hard to measure, but if you do the math and think about the cost of replacing individual items (like vacuums) over time, you’ll get an idea of what kind of return on investment you should expect from your purchase.
5. Computerization
Look for a fully automated vacuum that cleans your entire house with just an app. Seek one that is compatible with smartphones. That way, you can do personalization and scheduling and set virtual restrictions to be cleaned using your phone.
