Are robot vacuums a good idea?

Carpets should always last a long time provided they are regularly cleaned. Vacuuming does not take long, but busy people may prefer cleaning to be deleted from their to-do list altogether, with a robot vacuum often an appealing option.

In this blog, we’re investigating whether buying a robot vacuum a good way to save time and effort.

Robot vacuums can be effective in saving time. They can be programmed using a smartphone app to automatically clean the carpet at a set time, even when you are not in the home. Also, most cleaners are self-charging. If the battery is low, it returns to a docking station to recharge.

Some cleaners have adjustable cleaning modes. For instance, they can set to spot clean spills. Robot cleaners often have artificial intelligence (AI) navigation systems that plan cleaning routes and avoid objects.

Some robot vacuums automatically empty the dirt they have picked up into large storage containers at the base station. This means that it can easily vacuum large areas without needing to be emptied by a human.

However, all this smart technology often comes at a cost. A robot vacuum cleaner is likely to cost more than a traditional option. Robot vacuums also have high-tech parts that can be expensive to replace if faulty.

Another issue is that these cleaners cannot climb stairs or clean stair carpets, and some models do not have high suction power.
