How to Keep a Robot Vacuum Clean Robot vacuums can help keep your floors clean Based on the model they may also sweep mop and even vacuum stairs Find models with advanced features such as remote access and app control Apps can be used to schedule cleaning sessions and monitor the progress Some apps allow you to stop and recharge then resume where they were when they left 1 Battery Life With cars that drive themselves drones that navigate the skies and robot vacuums that swiftly move around furniture its safe to say that the future of cleaning is now here But as with any technology it needs some care to ensure its running efficiently The cycle of charging and discharging the battery is the most important factor for the longevity of your robot Keep the dustbin full and empty Be sure to check for furs that have become tangled and stop the brushes from jamming Another factor is the environment in which your robot is kept because extreme heat and cold can impact battery performance You can extend the lifespan of your robots battery by charging it up to 50 and storing it in a cool area Also take it away from the power source when being used The majority of smart devices also come with periodic firmware updates which can optimize performance and battery optimization Check the app to check if there are any updates If you have a lot of hard floors a robotic vacuum is an excellent option It can quickly and effectively take away dirt and other debris and leave your floors sparkling clean However if youre looking to do more than a simple cleanup youll want choose a model that has superior navigation and obstaclesavoiding capabilities Our toprated robot the Ecovacs Deebot T20 blends advanced navigation and an impressive suction system and a variety of mopping functions to provide an extensive thorough clean of your floors It uses LiDAR sensors and cameras to create detailed maps of your home which helps it stay on track and avoid getting caught on furniture legs or power cords It also can detect objects like clutter and shoes to automatically clean around them It also selfempties meaning that you dont have to return the vacuum to its base station to empty its bin every cleaning session 2 More methods are ideal for quick midweek cleaning but lack the suction to replace a plugin vacuum cleaner for a thorough clean Moreover even the best robotic vacuums can become tangled in cords and toys and snooze on piles of dirt near the baseboards and struggle with crumbs on furniture Their onboard dust bins fill up so quickly that they must return to their charging docks in order to selfemptya process that can take up to half an hour for some models It is essential to select a robot vacuum with a large trash bin which can be emptied into the dock without having to return to complete the task You should also consider whether youd prefer bags or a bagless model and if you do opt for a bagless version how much dust will be able to hold before needing to be cleaned In our tests we apply 100 grams of sand to an area of mediumpile carpet and utilize a robot vacuum vacuum it over the surface Weighing the amount of sand in the vacuums dust bin onboard allows us to determine the amount of dirt that has been accumulated A high amount of dirt suggests that the bin could fill up more quickly and may force your robot to pause its cleaning cycle or worse stop working altogether Its a good idea to know that most robot vacuums have large dust bins that can be easily emptied It is also possible to schedule that they empty their bases at least one or two times a day Keep a can with compressed air in your bag to blow out any hairs that are tangled up in the rotating brush and to clean any filters according to the manufacturers instructions 3 WiFi Connectivity The top robot vacuums have a variety of connectivity options to connect to the WiFi network in your home This allows the robot to download and install updates to its software and giving you the option to monitor your robot using an app or via voiceactivated commands Although not required this feature can be useful and personalization features that enhance the overall experience for robot vacuuming To keep them operating at their best the majority of models require some level of maintenance For example emptying the dustbin or cleaning the brushroll Regularly cleaning detaching and examining consumable components will also increase their lifespan Emily Rairdin a vacuum expert at University Vacuum Sewing says that a robots lifespan is typically between three and five years However it can differ based on how often you use it and if you take care of it In order to operate a robot vacuum it has to be able to map out your floors and navigate around obstacles Advanced navigation systems usually include sensors that detect cliffs and alert the robot to a steep drop as well as laser and optical sensors that help it see a rooms layout Some robots also come with mopping capabilities that are specialized that can be helpful for maintaining floors in between deeper cleanings with an upright vacuum The most effective 2in1 robots mop and vacuum and sweep which means you can bypass the need to switch between two types of vacuum The iRobot Roomba 690 is a powerful highly efficient robot vacuum cleaner that can wash its mop pad and clean surfaces with its water tank Its mapping and obstacle avoidance abilities were so effective that it was awarded CRs Best Robot Vacuum Award as well an AVTech Editors Choice Award 4 Cleaning Patterns The best robot vacuums we tested had impressive pickup scores on hard floors and low pile carpets They remove dirt dust and pet hair They also sweep away particles and crumbs from the edges of rooms and along baseboards They cant remove deepseated dirt or tangles of shag fibers such as an upright or a canister They also cant pick up spilled liquids and food particles or screws made of heavy metal and may also be unable to reach certain areas of the house including under furniture Many models come with sophisticated features that make them more userfriendly They typically include an app that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and control the robot remotely They can be integrated with your smart home system so that you can make voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant Some models have multiple modes that let you pick between mopping sweeping and vacuuming They can recharge their docks and continue cleaning the area they left off The technology for avoiding obstacles has improved in recent years however it is still necessary to clean out any cords toys and pet messes before running the robot Before you can map out your room youll need to cover all floorto ceiling mirrors with cardboard The lasers used by certain models could bounce off reflective surfaces causing the robot to bump against walls or floors Certain models that are top of the line use lidar to create 3D maps of your space This helps the robot recognize obstacles and plan the most efficient path around them Some also allow you to define nogo zones so the robot can avoid specific areas such as your pets food bowls or a rug that is expensive 5 App Control You can create an agenda for cleaning and control the robots using an app This lets you take care of your home while you are at work or on vacation Some robots are also able to selfempty into a larger container at the base of their machine which helps reduce dust release and is an excellent feature for people suffering from allergies Some robots such as the more expensive Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can even detect objects on the floor and employ a camera to instruct them to stay clear of obstacles such as power cords furniture legs or pet toys This amazing feature is available on cheaper models However its essential to regularly empty your robots dustbin and check for tangled hairs when they begin to accumulate A highend model can also store multiple floor maps which can be beneficial if you live in more than one level Some models also create 3D models of your home You can then select specific rooms and set digital keepout zones to ensure your robot focuses on what you want it to do instead of wandering around areas that dont require cleaning Robots are great for midweek cleanups but theyre not able to substitute for a fullsized plugin vacuum especially on rugs They are better at removing dirt from carpet than bare flooring but they can not pick up piles close to baseboards and thresholds as well as strangling cords and socks Look for a robot with spot and zone cleaning modes This will allow you to concentrate on specific areas without wasting time There are also models that charge and then resume where they left off This is ideal for large houses
