When you’re busy with a full-time job, a family, and so many other responsibilities, it can be hard to prioritize cleaning your home. Nevertheless, it is impossible to ignore those dusty floors and carpets. Add to that a pet that sheds enough fur to create another pet, and cleaning can become a nightmare.
Although a traditional upright or canister vacuum is an excellent way to clean your floors, it still requires you to take time out of your already-busy schedule. So, why not try a robot vacuum instead?
Robot vacuums do the cleaning for you, even when you are away from home. They take care of the mundane task of maintaining your floors so you can spend your time on more fulfilling activities. The technology they employ has seen tremendous advancements throughout the years, and there is a wide variety of models to suit all kinds of cleaning needs. Some are equipped with a high suction power and other advanced features designed for homes with carpets.
Before you buy the perfect robot vacuum for your floors, there are a few things to keep in mind.
One of the most important things to look for in a robot vacuum cleaner for carpets is its suction power. A robot’s suction power is typically measured in Pascal (Pa). The higher the Pa, the greater the robot’s ability to pick up dust, debris, fur, and other dirt from your floors and carpets.
The following chart shows the distribution in suction power among the robot vacuum cleaners. According to our findings, the lowest suction power is 900 Pa, while the highest is 5100 Pa.
The right suction power will also depend on the height of your carpet. It is safe to say that most robot vacuums will do well on low-pile and tight-woven carpets. The challenge is with medium and high-pile carpets whose fibers are thicker and looser because they increase the robot’s chances of getting stuck. So, make sure to look for a robot vacuum that can accommodate the type of carpet you have in your home.
Some robot vacuums can move from one surface to another thanks to their barrier-cross height. While this is not a must-have feature, a robot vacuum that can seamlessly transition from hard floors to carpets will be able to clean with minimal supervision.
The size of a robot vacuum’s dustbin is key, especially when you have thick carpets or a pet that sheds heavily. Since a lot of dust and fur gets trapped between the carpet’s fibers, you will need a large dustbin if you don’t want to empty it too frequently. Alternatively, you could get a robot vacuum with an automatically self-emptying dustbin that will clean without interruption.
Filtration is super important when it comes to cleaning. If anyone in your household has asthma or is allergic to dust, fur, pollen, or other allergens, a robot vacuum with a HEPA-grade filtration system will be the best choice. HEPA stands for “high-efficiency particulate air.” With the help of special microfibers, HEPA-grade filters can get rid of pathogens, allergens, and other particles in the air.
If you have a lot of low-lying furniture in your home, you will need a robot vacuum whose height is low enough to fit underneath it without getting stuck. A height of three inches or less would be ideal.
Carpet boost mode automatically increases the robot vacuum’s suction power to the maximum level when it is cleaning a carpet. It recognizes the carpet by sensing an increase in resistance compared to hardwood or tile floors and increases suction to clean it more thoroughly.
Once the robot is back on a hard floor, it senses the decrease in resistance and lowers its suction power. It is important to note that the ability of a robot vacuum to detect the difference between carpet and floor depends on the bristles of the main brush. When the bristles get worn out, the automatic carpet boost might not work anymore.
While this feature is not a necessity for carpets, you will find that the carpet boost mode prolongs the robot vacuum’s battery life by only using extra power on carpets.
