Vacuums when you're not home
Are you gone often, but do you like coming home to a clean house? A robot vacuum is something for you. The robot cleans your floors independently. That way, you won't lose your night to vacuuming or mopping. You can set the cleaning cycle yourself, so the robot cleans exactly where and when you want it to. Robot vacuums don't clean in every corner. That's why they only take the daily cleaning tasks out of your hands. You'll have to clean hard-to-reach corners and baseboards yourself from time to time.
Mops spills and stubborn stains
After vacuuming, many robot vacuums can mop as well. That way, the robot can also clean spilled food or drinks and stubborn stains. How well the robot mops, differs per model and mopping method.
Cleans under furniture
Robot vacuums can easily move under low furniture thanks to their thin design. That way, they can also clean the dust under your couch. Keep in mind that robots differ in height. Some robots are 8 to 14cm high.
Useful if you have pets or kids
Even if you have a pet, a robot vacuum can be useful. For example, do you have a pet that loses a lot of hair? Choose a robot with an anti-tangle brush, so it can easily vacuum long hairs. The robot also mops away muddy paw prints when your pet loves running through the forest.
Self-cleaning base station
Do you want to spend even less time on household tasks? Choose a robot with a base station. In the base station, the robot charges automatically. The robot gets a clean in there. How well the base station cleans, depends on the model.
Carpet
In addition to hard floors, some robots can also clean your carpet with a high suction power from 25,000 pascal. Does the robot clean your carpet after mopping your floor? It's important that it lifts its mop enough. Keep in mind that you choose a robot vacuum with a high mop lift if you have carpet as well.
