What is a Robot Vacuum Cleaner?
A robot vacuum cleaner, also known as a robovac, is a self-moving and controlling vacuum cleaner that allows it vacuum without human supervision or control. It can be programmed to perform vacuuming tasks in a scheduled manner. Also, it has some element of artificial intelligence that helps it to analyze and understand the layout of your house in order to plot the optimum plan for its vacuuming tasks.
Beyond vacuuming, some robot cleaners can also mop floors as part of their programming. A robot vacuum cleaner is also much smaller than traditional ones, which make them less bulky and easier to store. Another advantage is that it is much quieter in operation than a manual vacuum cleaner. What this means is that you can leave it to do its work and still be able to enjoy relative peace and quiet in your home.
Why Do You Need a Robotic Vacuum Cleaner?
Home is for rest and relaxation. You should be lounging on the couch and watching some Netflix while sipping on some hot tea on the weekends. Or going out with your significant other for a fun and casual date. Or bringing your kids out to the beach to enjoy some family time.
What you shouldn’t be doing is spending 3 hours mopping and vacuuming your home every single weekend! Time is precious. If a simple home appliance can help you free up more time to enjoy life, definitely consider getting it!
History of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
Surprisingly, robot vacuum cleaners have actually been introduced into the market since 1996 by Electrolux. However, the technology behind it was not as advanced as it is now. This led to problems such as it being unable to accurately detect the areas to vacuum which led to poor performance and unclean floors. It was eventually discontinued after poor consumer responses.
The resurgence of the robot vacuum cleaner came in 2002 when iRobot introduced the Roomba. Suddenly, it became a viable household appliance as technology allowed it to sense and adjust its movements more accurately. A robot vacuum cleaner could actually perform as well as one controlled by a human. This led to other consumer electronic companies entering the market as they saw potential in it. Now, you can find a range of brands from Samsung, Xiaomi, Philips, Dyson and many others.
Tips for Choosing the Best Robotic Vacuum Cleaner for Your Home
Consider Your Home Layout and Flooring
Every home is unique in their layouts, furnishings, and flooring. When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, you will have to consider whether it is the best fit for your house. You can control it by using the remote control provided. Also, you will be able to schedule when you want it to clean your house, any time you want.
With regards to floor types, most robot vacuum cleaners are designed to be effective on all types of common flooring like marble and ceramic. However, if your home is carpeted, you may require a cleaner that has a more powerful engine to generate sufficient suction. If your house is very cluttered with furniture, it may also be a challenge for the robot cleaner to be thorough in its vacuuming. To solve this, perhaps you could consider a robot vacuum cleaner that is lower in height that will be able to fit between the spaces. If you want to outsource your mopping to your robot as well, get a robot vacuum cleaner that has the mopping functionality.
If you live in a multi-storey house such as a terrace, you should know that robot cleaners are unable to move from floor to floor by the staircase. You will need to bring it down to the next level for it to continue its vacuuming. Some owners also purchase a vacuum for every level for the sake of convenience. With the lower costs of robot cleaners nowadays, that is actually quite a viable solution. But do not worry, robot vacuum cleaners are very smart and can adapt to most house layouts without any major issues.
Battery Life
This is important especially if your model does not have the AI to automatically return to the charging station after its battery is depleted. If it does, you won’t have to worry as it will just recharge at its base and return to vacuum once it is charged up. However, if it does not have this automatic charging function, you may have to look out for one with a better battery life so that it can finish vacuum the entire house before it is drained.
Hands-off Functionality and Ease of Use
You are thinking of getting a robot vacuum cleaner because it takes away the mundane task of cleaning. You do not want to be spending that free time on manually configuring and figuring out the robot cleaner on a regular basis. You want to set it and forget it.
Therefore, your robot vacuum should be easy to use and manage. You should look out for a model that is not overly complicated in configurations. Some robot cleaners can also be controlled by an app which means you can control it remotely, even when you are at the office.
Warranty and Repairs
As you will likely be using your robot vacuum on a very regular or even daily basis, it is important to get one with a reasonable warranty period. The daily usage can be very taxing on the battery and motor, especially if your home is bigger. Most vacuum cleaners have a 6-month warranty with some going up to 1 year. In our view, 6 months is usually a decent period as any clear problems with the device will likely surface within that time.
