Advantages of buying a robot vacuum cleaner

Due to its incredible autonomy, it is possible to program the robot to wake up and start cleaning your house while you are away. Practical, right?

Autonomy

Also, as we have already commented previously, the robot charges by itself, which means that it will not stop cleaning halfway due to a lack of battery. Needing more charge, the robot returns to the base alone, recharges, and continues cleaning where it stopped, all without any help.

Carpet cleaning and small obstacles

It also has the occasional functionality to detect the dirtiest areas with dirt that your pet has brought, the scattered food, and so on. They also go up and down the rugs that we have without any problem, it does not detect it as an obstacle and it cleans it just like the floor. The robot will only get out of there when its sensors no longer detect dirt.

Most are programmable

Now we leave you the main disadvantages that we can run into with who can be one of our best friends.

Noise

As it is a mobile dust extractor , if you work or spend a lot of time at home, it could end up disturbing the noise of the robot. But if you program it during your work day , you avoid listening to it during your stay at home.

He takes his time cleaning

The robot needs a good time to clean an entire house, especially if the space is very large or you have too much furniture in the rooms, since each obstacle makes the robot have to recalculate its trajectory, looking for another way to get to where you need to go.

Maintenance

No products found.

It is necessary to clean the brushes and change the filter of the vacuum cleaner regularly so as not to get home expecting to see the floor clean and find the robot at its base issuing a filter alert filled with the floor clean in half.

They do not absorb liquids (only specific models)

Whoever has a more modern vacuum cleaner has already got used to seeing how it sucks liquids from carpets and other fabrics, right? Only, unfortunately, vacuum robots have not yet reached that level (at least the cheapest). In this way, only dust and other dry residues can be vacuumed without major problems.

With this we finish our article of advantages and disadvantages about the Roomba (robot vacuum cleaner). Do you think they are correct or do you think there are other advantages or disadvantages that we have not mentioned?
