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 schedule cleaning sessions, create boundaries and no-go zones.

Some of the robots that we reviewed are able to automatically return to their base after cleaning and recharge, which is useful when you live in a large home. Some robots come with a water tank and a dust bin that can be empty to keep them clean and lessen allergens.

Battery Life

If you own a large home, look for a robot that can run for a full hour or more during regular operation. Many models also have an "eco" or lower-power cleaning option that saves battery life but still performs a fantastic job of removing dirt and other debris from floors and carpets.

You can still keep your home clean even if you have less space. Our top choice for small-sized houses is the Neato Botvac 11S Max can be used on floors that are unfinished for up to 90 minutes in Eco mode. It's smaller than the majority of the robots we tested, so it can fit under furniture and into corners.

It is a good robot vacuum idea to pick a model with intelligent features that allow you to personalize your robot's cleaning preferences in accordance with the amount of traffic certain areas receive. You can set up zones that are prone to traffic to ensure better suction and higher water levels, for example. Some apps allow you to alter settings based on room or floor.

In addition to selecting a robot that meets your specific cleaning needs it is essential to stay on top of routine maintenance tasks such as emptying and refilling the dust bin, examining brushes for hair tangles, and draining and rinsing the water tank. It's also an excellent idea to utilize the software updates offered by the manufacturer. These updates can improve navigation algorithms, decrease unnecessary power consumption and assist in prolonging your robot's battery life.

Depending on how busy your family is, it may be necessary to run your robot three or four times per week. Emily Rairdin is a vacuum expert from University Vacuum & Sewing. She says that a robot is expected to last between three and five year. However, the longevity of yours is contingent on the way you maintain it and how frequently you use it.

Some of the latest, more advanced models in our top robot vacuum reviews can be connected to smart speakers such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant and can operate completely hands-free. While this is a wonderful convenience, remember that you'll have to hand over certain personal information.

App Control

Many robots have a variety of app control options that let you set specific cleaning jobs as well as change preferences and schedule sessions. Some also integrate with digital assistants such as 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 vacuum out pet hair dirt, sand and other debris on hard floors such as wood, tile, laminate, as well as carpets with low piles and area rugs. They're also designed to avoid obstacles, such as furniture legs and pet food bowls as they travel across your space.

As with any electronic device it's essential to keep up with the maintenance of your robot to ensure it's operating properly. As long as you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to use and maintain your robot, replace the batteries as well as the filters and wheels, and clean the rotating brushes (they are prone to getting tangled with pet hair and dirt) Most models will last longer than traditional full-size vacuums.

The majority of robots can map and learn your space with sensors. This allows them to design a more efficient cleaning route. Some models let you create 'no-go zones' for areas that you do not want the robot to clean, like pet food bowls and expensive rug.

A growing number of robots also feature 'targeted rooms' which allows you to tell the robot to concentrate on a particular or a couple of areas of your home. This is a great option for homes with many clutter items and you want to get rid of it, or if a certain room requires more attention, such as a guest bedroom.

The majority of robots controlled by apps offer a variety of automated features that make daily maintenance more simple. Some robots come with self-emptying bins that return to their docks when they're full.

The app-controlled Dreametech L10s Ultra navigated our test course well, but it had trouble spotting obstacles in its path and was unable to handle rug tassels which were clogged. However, it's an affordable and efficient choice for keeping a studio or small homes tidy.

Cleaning Options

If the wheels of your robot vacuum get dirty or caked with hair, dust or other debris, they won't spin smoothly. This can cause it to slow or even stop. Clean them regularly, using a soft cloth, to ensure they are functioning properly. For robots that mop also, it's important to take the mopping pads off after each cleaning session, wash them in water and let them dry before reinstalling them. If you're concerned about maintaining this maintenance, choose one that is able to wash and dry the mopping pads after each cleaning session.

Certain robots are built to automatically empty their bins when they are full, and this can be a real boon for those with pets or children. But for most models, the best way to ensure that the bin is prepared for an additional load of dirt or other debris is to empty it manually. Find a model with a large bin that is easy to empty and remove, and make sure the base is able to hold the entire bin without causing obstruction in your home.

The quality of the sensors on your robot could also impact its life span. These sensors detect furniture, walls, and other obstacles in your home and direct the robot vacuum cleaners best to avoid them. Find robots with top-quality sensors. They will be able to recognize any changes in the floor quickly and precisely, and avoid getting stuck in tight spaces, such as the nook in between the bathtub and the toilet or under the legs of your desk chair.

Depending on the budget you have and the frequency you'd like to use your robot, it's worthwhile to invest in a robot that can charge itself and then resume cleaning from where it left off when the battery is low. This is particularly beneficial for homes with larger spaces and makes it easier to maintain consistent cleaning throughout the house.

Noise Levels

The level of noise produced by robot vacuums is different for each model and can be affected by other factors too. Some manufacturers may offer the quiet mode or low-noise operating speed, but you'll need to know how the machine is rated to know what these numbers actually mean. In general, sounds that exceed 85 decibels are considered very loud and can damage hearing over time.

To find the quietest robotic vacuum, choose models that feature advanced noise reduction technology or a low-noise operating mode. These features can dramatically reduce the operational noise, making it easier to continue conversations or even rest during a cleaning session.

Some models are designed with sound-absorbing or insulated materials to further reduce operating noise. These features are important for those who reside in noisy areas or have children at home.

Other factors that influence noise levels include the navigation system and obstacle detection capabilities of a robot vacuum cleaner. Some robots utilize mapping technology that is based on lasers or cameras to avoid bumping furniture and walls when cleaning. These technologies can reduce the amount of noise a robot cleaner makes during its cleaning process. They accomplish this by making sure that there are no unnecessary bumps or collisions.

Despite the fact that modern robot vacuums are quieter than they have ever been, they still produce a lot of noise when in normal operation. The noise they generate can be distracting, particularly for those who have small children or work at home. Continuous exposure to high-level sound is known to cause stress and to increase blood pressure.

You may try a few options before contacting the customer service of your robot vacuum if you notice that it is making a lot of noise. First, you should check the machine for obvious damage. A damaged housing or loose component can increase the noise which can make it sound like a freight-train. It is also recommended to regularly clean and replace filters, since they can become clogged with dust and debris which can increase the noise level.

Another common culprit for abnormal noise is a damaged or dirty sensor. Sensors that are damaged or dirty can send robot vacuums in a tense, shaky traverse of your floors, which will lead to hitting objects and causing an eerie noise. To fix this clean or replace the sensor and try reconnecting to your Wi-Fi connection if needed.
