In the world there are so many interesting things that you do not want to spend time cleaning . At the same time, any dwelling has the ability in a matter of days to accumulate a huge amount of dust. Live for your own pleasure, not overgrown with dirt, a robotic vacuum cleaner will help. What is this device and what robot vacuum cleaner to choose for home use will tell our article.
How to choose a good robot vacuum cleaner for home?
If you believe the advertising brochures, the purchase of any model of an automatic vacuum cleaner can at times raise the quality of life, permanently saving someone from participating in the cleaning process. The real picture is slightly different from the ideal one. Firstly, not all robotic vacuum cleaners do equally well with cleaning in rooms of different footage and different levels of clutter. Secondly, not all of them are able to independently return to the base for recharging, so periodically they will have to be searched and "returned to life" manually. Thirdly, the power of such units is several times lower than that of conventional vacuum cleaners, which means that the quality of their cleaning depends not so much on the characteristics of the engine as on the design and material of the components: brushes, rollers, etc. In addition, the robotic vacuum cleaner spends much more time cleaning, which requires an adequate battery capacity and a reduced noise level. Considering all this it is clear that choosing a good robot vacuum cleaner for a home is not as easy as it seems at first glance. To simplify this task, we compiled a small guide on the main manufacturers of such equipment:
- IRobot is the world's most popular manufacturer of automatic cleaners. Characterize the production of this American brand can be three words - reliable, high-quality, expensive.
- "Yujin Robot" is a South Korean company, the latest developments of which - iClebo Arte and iClebo Pop - currently make a strong competition for iRobot products, favorably differing from it at a more democratic price.
- "Neato Robotics" - all models of this manufacturer's robots differ little in technical terms, being essentially a modification of the same vacuum cleaner.
- "XRobot" is a Chinese brand whose products are often found on various sales. Robots-vacuum cleaners of this brand belong to the low price segment, which could not but affect their service life and quality of cleaning.
- "Panda" is another Chinese brand, which is actively developing now on the domestic market. As in the previous case, the quality of this Chinese fully corresponds to its more than democratic value: sucks badly, breaks quickly.
How to choose the right robot vacuum cleaner?
When choosing an automatic cleaner, you need to start from two basic parameters:
- Area of the dwelling. With cleaning rooms less than 50 square meters more or less successfully able to cope with any robotic vacuum cleaner, even from inexpensive models with chaotic movement. For large dwellings (up to 80 square meters), a model with a map or with a chaotic movement and cleaning time of at least 2 hours is required.
- Height of the interior thresholds . It should be understood that inexpensive robotic vacuum cleaners can hardly cope with overcoming height differences. Therefore, they need to either run in each individual room, or be prepared to fork out for the unit from the higher price segment. So, with obstacles above 16 mm will cope only vacuum cleaners iClebo and iRobot.
All other parameters, such as suction power, availability of various additional functions (ultraviolet radiation, mud detection system, garbage disposal base, etc.) have no significant effect on the quality of harvesting, being more marketing chips to attract buyers.
