So, you just came back late at night from a long day out. You enter your home, ready to clean yourself up and sleep only to realise that you caught sight of hair clumps in some corners of your house. What do you do?
- Grab your broom and sweep that devil away.
- Use a microfiber tissue to take them away.
- You go to sleep; you’ll deal with it on your next cleaning day.
Whichever of the options you chose, it’s still a tiring chore to do. Well, if you value your time and wellbeing as well as appreciate your clean space, you need a robot vacuum.
Is a Robot Vacuum Really That Great?
While they are definitely not affordable at first glance, a robot vacuum is worth the investment in the long run as they save you something you cannot earn back - your time spent.
On the first run, from the charging dock, the robot vacuum will make a virtual map of your home’s floor plan by navigating and exploring your space. They typically have a sensor to identify obstacles in order to avoid minor accidents and falling off heightened platforms.
After the first run, they will be able to swiftly clean your home and even be scheduled for timely cleaning sessions. What’s left for you is to clear the bin and clean the robot vacuum’s parts once in a while, which the vacuum will notify you verbally when maintenance is needed. Best of all; you can control them via mobile apps too!
So yes, you technically have a “maid” to clean your floor!
6 Signs You Need a Robot Vacuum Cleaner
We understand that these items are an investment. Therefore, if you’re still not convinced, try identifying if you actually should get one via these obvious signs (based on our experiences, of course!).
1. You have a lot of hair and dust to sweep every week
It’s part of human nature to shed hair daily. But think about it; you have many family members in the house, let alone your pets, all shedding their hair and fur onto the floor. Who’s going to have the time to constantly clean the floor?
Well, the robot vacuum is perfect for such a task. Whether it’s the feeling of walking on hair or coming across hair clumping in one corner, you’ll never need to walk around just to look for and clear these pesky sights anymore.
2. You simply have no time to clean and are always out of the house
Have you ever felt too tired to clean your house after a long day out? The last thing we want is to come back to a mess of a house and put off housekeeping duties.
When you get home, just simply press the robot vacuum’s start button for it to initiate cleaning. Or better, utilise their automated scheduling feature and you wouldn’t need to activate them on your own which is a Godsent.
After setting your ideal cleaning schedule once, just sit back and enjoy your rest time while the robot vacuum cleans your home.
3. Your floor just doesn't feel as clean as you'd like
It is true that certain floor materials will be easier or more difficult to clean. Some are even difficult to spot dirt and fine debris, making it harder to eyeball when your floor needs cleaning if not on a scheduled basis.
Not only that, but it can be tiring to keep sweeping your floor with a broom or so, only to find that your floors don’t feel as clean as you’d want them to be.
Luckily, most robot vacuums today have very strong rated suction power, averaging at 20,000Pa. That’s a rating many have said is equivalent to picking up two AA batteries.
Especially with the motor technology equipped in many robot vacuums, they can easily pick up debris as fine as hairs and also pet fur off the floor. No more walking on invisible hair anymore!
4. Your house is big
So you’ve just recently moved in and are enjoying your big house. As comfortable as that may seem, walking on dirt does not feel so. Ironic, huh?
On average the typical robot vacuum is capable of cleaning for up to 1 and a half hours. That is almost 2,000 square feet worth of space (based on our experiences). Instead of spending an hour cleaning your floor, why not go on with your other chores while this nifty cleaner does the dirty work?
5. You keep forgetting to charge your cordless vacuum
Smart devices are efficient at helping you to keep to your schedule. Want to set an automated night light? Go ahead! Need your rice cooker to start warming up food at a certain time? That’s doable too. And if you have a cordless vacuum, you’re probably happy with all of its smart analysis features and such.
But for several reasons, we might just put off charging them after each use be it rushing to somewhere else or to conserve electricity at home.
Here’s where the robot vacuum excels in independency. They are typically designed to return to their charging stations after a cleaning session. This also applies when in the middle of a cleaning session; if they self-detect low battery levels, they’ll self-charge too.
6. You prefer to clean your home often without changing your schedule
Even if you are satisfied with a cordless vacuum or your usual ways, there’s one big advantage to owning a robot vacuum: flexibility. How often do you suddenly get an emergency or get called away to settle family, friends or work obligations?
Need to suddenly dash out the door until late at night? Just use the robot vacuum’s schedule system to activate cleaning. Even if you don’t want to schedule anything, just turn the vacuum on while you prepare to go out.
