Robot Vacuum Reviews – How to Keep Your Robot Vacuum Clean

Many robot vacuums can be used with apps that let you control the device without having to hold it. These apps let you plan cleaning sessions, set boundaries and no-go zones.

Several of the robots we reviewed can automatically return to their base and recharge during a cleaning session which is beneficial when you have a huge house. Certain robots come with water tanks and a dust bin which can be cleaned to ensure they are clean and reduce allergens.

Battery Life

If you have a large house, consider the best robot that can run for an hour or more in normal operation. Most models also include a “eco” or lower-power cleaning mode that conserves battery life, yet is capable of removing dirt and dust from floors and carpets.

If your home is a small space, you can still find many options to keep the place tidy. For instance, our top pick for small spaces, the Neato Botvac 11S Max, can run for around 60 minutes on floors with no flooring in normal mode, and up to 90 minutes in Eco mode. It’s shorter than many of the other robots we tried which makes it more able to slide under furniture and into corners.

It is a good idea to select a model that has smart features that allow you to customize your robot’s cleaning preferences according to the amount of traffic certain areas get. You can create zones that receive a lot of traffic to get stronger suction or more water levels. Certain apps also provide the option of changing the settings for each room, or even the the floor of your home.

Apart from selecting a robot that is tailored to your needs for cleaning, you should also perform routine maintenance tasks, such as emptying and refilling the dustbin, checking brushes for hair knots, and cleaning and draining the water tank. It’s also a good idea to use the software updates provided by the manufacturer. These updates can improve navigation algorithms and reduce unnecessary power consumption, thus extending the battery life of your robot.

Depending on the level of activity in your family, it may be necessary to run your robot three or every week. Emily Rairdin is a vacuum expert from University Vacuum & Sewing. She says that a robot can last between three and five year. However, the life span of yours will depend on how well you maintain it and how often you use it.

Some of the more sophisticated models we have reviewed in our top robot vacuum reviews can be connected to smart speakers such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant which allows them to operate completely hands-free. This is a great convenience, but you will need to give up some personal data.

App Control

Many robots come with a range of control options through apps that let you set up specific cleaning tasks, change preferences, and schedule sessions. Some also integrate with digital assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and other voice-controlled smart home systems to provide a hands-free experience.

Robots navigate by using a combination of cameras, sensors and lasers. They are designed to clean off pet hair dirt, sand and other debris on hard floors like laminate, wood, tile and carpets with low piles and area rugs. They’re also designed to avoid obstacles, like furniture legs and pet food bowls when they move through your space.

It is crucial to keep up with your robot, just like any other electronic device. This will ensure that it functions effectively. So long as you keep your rotating brushes clean (they can get tangled with pet hair and dust) and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on using and maintaining your robot. You should also replace the batteries, filters, and wheels, most models last the same amount of time as a traditional full-size vacuum.

The majority of robots available on the market are capable of mapping and understanding the space around you using sensors, which can help them plan an efficient way to get you through every cleaning session. Some models allow you to set ‘no go zones’ for areas that you don’t want your robot to clean, for example pet food bowls and expensive rug.

A increasing number of robots come with ‘targeted rooms’, which allows you to instruct the robot to focus on a particular or a couple of areas of your home. This is a great option if you have lots of clutter you want to clean up, or if you have rooms that require extra attention, such as a guest bedroom.

In addition to allowing you to alter the map of your robot’s and cleaning preferences, the majority of app-controlled robots also offer various automated features to make daily maintenance easier. Some robots come with self-emptying bins, which return to their docks when they’re full.

While the app-controlled Dreametech L10s Ultra did a great job of managing our test course however, it was unable to see obstacles that were blocking its path and was unable to handle clogged rug tassels. It’s still a good option to keep a small home or studio clean.

Cleaning Options

When the wheels of your robot vacuum become dirty or covered in dust, hair or other debris, they are unable to move smoothly. This could cause it to slow down or even stop. Clean them regularly with a soft cloth, to ensure they are working well. For robots that mop also, it’s important to take the mopping pads off after each cleaning session, wash them in water and allow them to dry before reinstalling them. If you’re concerned about the maintenance required, choose a model that is able to wash and dry mopping pads following each cleaning session.

Certain robots are built to automatically empty their trash bins when they are full and can be a real boon when you have pets or children. For the majority of models, it is recommended to empty the bin manually to make sure that it is ready for the next load. Choose a model that has an ample bin that is easy to remove and dump, and make sure the base can hold the entire bin without blocking your home.

The quality of the sensors on your robot can also affect its lifespan. These are the devices that sense furniture, walls and other household objects and assist the robot to navigate around them. Find a robot that has high-quality sensors that can quickly respond to changes in floor surface and are accurate enough to not get caught in tight spots like the nook between the toilet and bathtub or under your desk chair’s legs.

It could be worthwhile to invest in a robot that is able to charge itself and continue to clean where it left off when the battery gets depleted. This is especially useful for larger homes and makes it easier to keep a consistent and clean look throughout the house.

Noise Levels

The level of noise produced by robot vacuums varies by model and can be affected by other factors, too. Some manufacturers may list the quiet mode or low-noise operation speed however, you must be aware of how the device is rated to understand what these numbers mean. Any sound above 85 decibels is considered to be high and can cause hearing damage over time.

To find the most quiet robot vacuum, search for one that has advanced noise reduction technology or has a low-noise operating mode. These features can dramatically reduce the operational noise and make it easier to continue conversations or even rest during a cleaning session.

Certain models are also constructed with sound-absorbing or insulated materials to further decrease the operational noise. These features are important for people who live in noisy areas or have children at home.

Other factors that affect the level of noise are the navigation system and the obstacle detection capabilities of a robot vacuum cleaner. Certain robots utilize laser or camera-based mapping technology to avoid bumping into walls and furniture when cleaning. These technologies can cut down on the amount of noise that a robot cleaner makes during its cleaning process. They do this by eliminating unnecessary bumps and collisions.

While the latest robot vacuums are getting quieter, they still generate significant amounts of noise in normal operation. The noise they create can be distracting, especially for those who have small children or work at home. Additionally, continuous exposure to loud noises is known to create stress and increase blood pressure levels.

If you notice your robot vacuum producing loud noises, there are a few things you might try prior to calling the customer support of the manufacturer. First, inspect the machine for any visible damage. A damaged or cracked housing or component can increase the sound level and cause it to sound like freight train. You should also regularly clean and replace filters, because they can get clogged with dust and debris which can increase the noise level.

A sensor that is dirty or damaged can also be a source of noise that isn’t normal. Dirty or damaged sensors can send a robot vacuum on a shaky and confused journey across your floors, which can result in hitting objects and causing a racket. If this happens, clean or replace the sensors, and then reconnect to Wi-Fi, if needed.
