These are the things to consider when buying a robotic vacuum cleaner



[ad_1]

The first robotic vacuum cleaners appeared in the developed world in the years after the turn of the millennium and gained wide popularity relatively early. These promising machines were sold in the millions, which over time became widespread in Hungary. Nowadays, it is not possible to enter a real or online store without installing a series of disk-shaped cleaning machines. But can these machines really be used? Are they worth buying? And, if so, what to look for and to whom are they recommended?

Robotic vacuum cleaner? What is that?

If you’re unfamiliar with these machines, here’s the point: they’re typically relatively flat, circular or polygonal, wheeled, and self-propelled devices. Thus, they can completely clean a room or an apartment on their own, at least in theory. They are equipped with various sensors (cameras, infrared or laser sensors) that allow them to accurately measure the room and constantly monitor their electronics to see where they have been.

They have a built-in battery that provides the power they need to function, so there’s no need to plug them into a power source. The battery can be charged via a separate base, for which the machine works on its own if you think it needs a little charging. Some models can even be integrated into a smart home system, that is, connect to a phone. This allows them to be controlled from a mobile phone, turn them on remotely, schedule when to go on duty, and also constantly monitor where they went in the room.

The manufacturers promise that it is enough to put these diabolical structures in your path, preferably when no one is home and when we get home, everything is sparkling and flashing, completely empty.

They are useful?

Our answer is clearly yes. We’ve been dealing with quite a few robotic vacuums over the years, and among them have been models that have delivered on their promise. However, it is also a fact that we are not satisfied with all machines. So before making a purchase decision, it is worth carefully. But the point is, there are robotic vacuums that can get the job done.

Performance

The fact is that there are robotic vacuum cleaners that are capable of everything through their performance. So they can even sniff out dirt from your carpet, even dust mites. But not all of them.

The worst, usually nameless, pieces in this area are certainly disappointing, making them completely unnecessary to obtain.

So if someone breaks their minds when buying a robotic vacuum, be sure to pay attention to the power given in watts, quite precisely, so that it reaches 100 watts.

Smart House

If you already have a smart home system, or plan to build one, and want to integrate your vacuum cleaner into it, be very careful to choose a compatible device. Otherwise, you’ll be left there with an ecosystem and a cleaning machine that can’t work together. We believe that smart home connectivity is not vital for a robotic vacuum cleaner, but it is a fact that it can provide useful additional convenience.

Not everywhere and not for everyone

Even the best and most versatile robotic vacuums can easily fail. Also, beyond his own fault. In an apartment or room with many small gaps, tight spaces, they won’t do a good job because they just can’t get everywhere. The same thing happens when cables are wound on the ground or there are many things scattered on the ground. The robotic vacuum cleaner is not a housekeeper, it will not be packed for anyone. You can only do your job if the conditions are right. If you cannot provide this, you cannot cope with this task, the robotic vacuum cleaner will not be able to help either.

Before making a purchase decision, you should also consider the type of flooring. Many types cannot climb on tall, thick, soft carpets. Anyone who has one in the house will do better if they think of a structure that can be pushed out or is strong enough to climb on. If someone has a lot of dust, possibly an animal, then the robotic vacuum cleaner’s small tank may be small. Or it has to be emptied so often that it becomes exhausting.

Convenience has a price

A well-functioning robotic vacuum is a very important comfort factor in a person’s life. It also saves a lot of time, but comes at a price However, the best, really useful pieces cost noticeably more than their traditional manual relatives, which must be pulled by human force onto the parquet or carpet.

This is definitely worth figuring out if someone decides to buy such a small home robot. Our personal experience is that this is generally a group of products that can penetrate a person’s heart very quickly, similar to dishwashers, for example. If it works and the structure is good, then before long we will be there so that we cannot even imagine life without it.

The price difference is huge, as these machines start at 20,000 guilders and the products can go up to 3-400,000 guilders.

In our experience, models that are already worth buying start at 60-80,000 guilders. Here, however, you decide who according to your own preferences.
