Robot vacuum cleaner guide for beginners

by Jodie Franklin 05/07/2023

Vacuuming the floor can be a real hassle, as there’s many other chores to do around the house and distractions around every corner that can break you away from the task. 

Investing in a robot vacuum cleaner can potentially save you time and allow you to use your energy elsewhere.


Do robot vacuums really work?

Robot vacuum cleaners are well known for their effectiveness in keeping carpets spotless. With a high suction power, they can collect pet hair, pet waste, dust and more with ease. 

Some of these devices are equipped with smart mapping, which maps out the layout of your home, so no floor space is left uncleaned.


Factors to consider

Before purchasing a robot vacuum, first consider your needs and your budget. If your budget is limited, there are many affordable robot vacuum options available with excellent cleaning power and battery life. However, a cheaper robot vac may not come with a sensor to map your home’s floor plan. 


How long do robot vacuums last?

The lifespan of a robot vacuum cleaner depends on its quality and how often it’s used. Most devices have a lifespan of around 4 to 6 years. 

To help preserve your device, keep it away from direct sunlight and stored in places where temperatures aren’t too cold or hot. This helps to keep the battery in great condition as you put the device to use. 

Tired of years of cleaning with short lasting and heavy vacuums? Robot cleaners take away the effort of lugging along a heavy device and keep your space clean. Consider checking out robot vacuum options at your local home supply store to find a device best fitting your needs.
