How to choose a robot vacuum cleaner?

Technologies do not stand still and are trying to facilitate the life of modern women, who, in addition to household chores, are engaged in their appearance, career, have different hobbies. If they have enough helpers in the kitchen (dishwashers, harvesters, "miracle stoves" and "super-cookers"), then help in cleaning the apartment can only be expected from a vacuum cleaner and a mop. Finally, and for this purpose, the developers of home appliances came up with a new device - a robot vacuum cleaner. What is it, and which robot to choose? Let's try to understand.

What can a robot do with a vacuum cleaner?

Let's look at the basic functions of a vacuum cleaner-cleaner.

A robot vacuum cleaner can choose the best cleaning route on its own. With the help of a special brush system, he gets to the most inaccessible places. Due to the built-in sensors, the device can not be dropped from a height (for example, from a ladder). Mechanical or IR sensors help the robot to bypass obstacles, anticipate a collision and slow down the speed. When the dust collector is full, the device will reset the debris into the drive, which is located on the base station, where it can also be recharged if necessary. The noise level of a robot cleaner is much smaller than that of a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Choosing a Robot Vacuum Cleaner

In order to determine which robot cleaner is best, you should understand what its functions are important and suitable for your apartment.

If you are the owner of a large apartment, then you are more suitable robot cleaner with the function of automatic battery charging. The initial charge may not be enough to clean all rooms, and then the robot itself will return to the base station and recharge.

Some models of these devices also have a timer. With it, you can program the vacuum cleaner for a whole week, and then every day, coming home, you will enjoy an ideally cleaned apartment.

A convenient option for the robots of vacuum cleaners is the "virtual wall". It is necessary for the device not to go outside the room in which it does the cleaning. This function is practical when in the next room are scattered, for example, children's toys or any small items that are not garbage.

If the floor covering of your apartment is flat, without thresholds and carpets, you can choose low-cost models of appliances with low power. And if you want the robot to clean and carpet, then you need a cleaner cleaner that can overcome the height (but not more than 2 cm).

Still there are robots vacuum cleaners, which have the function of additional disinfection of the floor. It is carried out with the help of an ultraviolet lamp, which is built into the body of the device. Such disinfection will help to get rid of 99% of dust mites and pathogens.

If you are thinking about how to choose a washing robot vacuum cleaner, then keep in mind that wet cleaning is the attachment from the bottom of the body device (behind the brush) of a wet wipe that wipes the floor during cleaning. But this method is not particularly effective, as the napkin dries quickly. It is not advisable to clean carpets at all, and it makes no sense to divide the cleaning stages for different kinds of floor coverings. Why did we buy a robot if we still start cleaning ourselves? Robot vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning is suitable only for rooms with a small area (bathroom or toilet), in which case it will perform its functions in full.

To choose the best robot cleaner for your home, it is not necessary to buy the most expensive models. It is only necessary to take into account the features of the premises and floor coverings.
