 In the age of development of all kinds of technologies, a person has to be surprised less and less. So, just a century after the first mechanical vacuum cleaners appeared, the range of household appliances has expanded thanks to such a novelty as a robot vacuum cleaner. Every year the number of people wishing to acquire such an assistant is increasing. But these new items are still inferior in terms of sales to their standard counterparts. The reason for this lies in the huge number of low-quality goods of this kind, as well as in the lack of information.
A robot vacuum cleaner is a special device that can keep your home clean by wet and dry cleaning. The main advantage of this unit lies in the automated method of cleaning, which can even be carried out in the absence of a person. The robot vacuum cleaner can be designed for wet cleaning, for dry cleaning, for both, as well as for additional functions, such as collecting wool and fluff from pets. The robotic vacuum cleaner, capable of dry cleaning, was the first well-established type of robot.
It is characterized by uncomplicated controls, a fairly wide range of models and a very reasonable price. Such a vacuum cleaner outwardly resembles a washer, the diameter of which does not exceed forty centimeters. Such a robot vacuum cleaner can equally well clean tiles, linoleum, carpets, parquet, and carpet. But the pile of the carpet should not be more than one centimeter. More expensive options can also clean two centimeter pile. The vacuum cleaner works on the principle that the main brush will direct dust and debris into the dust container. Side brushes will increase the size of the cleaned surface due to the collection of dust and debris near the walls. A number of models also have a base in the kit, which is a device to which the robot itself returns after completing the cleaning program. After that, as a rule, the battery starts to charge. The quality of cleaning in general will be determined by the quality of the material from which the brushes are made. As a rule, they are made of silicone or high-tech nylon.
Sometimes electronic devices are equipped with a "virtual wall". In this case, a special type of device is built into the body of the vacuum cleaner, which can recognize individual areas on the surface. You yourself can program them so that they will be disabled for the robot to work. Sometimes there are robotic vacuum cleaners with a magnetic tape included. This tape should be applied around the perimeter of the area that you want to protect from the cleaning process. When the robot hits this tape, it will change its direction. Those robot vacuum cleaners that can perform wet cleaning are similar to the type described above in terms of their structure. But they differ from them in the way of installing the program for the activity. The person must carry out dry pre-cleaning himself. The volume of the container intended for water in such models can vary from a quarter to one liter. Those robot vacuum cleaners that have the function of collecting pet hair are equipped with two containers inside. Down and wool will be collected in one of them, in the other - all the rest of the garbage. Any robot vacuum cleaner has a control panel on its body.
It allows you to set different trajectories along which the vacuum cleaner will subsequently move. According to experts, a product that is very popular and has the ability to carry out the maximum number of useful functions will sell well.But all the positive reviews about robotic vacuum cleaners are almost half written by the sellers themselves. According to them, the robot vacuum cleaner is able to completely free a person from the need for daily cleaning. Of course, such a vacuum cleaner will clean the floor on its own. However, regardless of the specified trajectory, not a single device itself can qualitatively clean corners and hard-to-reach places from dirt and dust. Even the most compact types of such vacuum cleaners are unlikely to be able to get under the closet, bed and other pieces of furniture. The robot vacuum cleaner will only be your loyal assistant when you want to clean your floors in a simple way. However, you will still have to do the general cleaning. In addition, not all models of such vacuum cleaners intended for collecting animal hair can withstand the inevitable curling of long hair on the brush.
And the silicone brush most often stops working just because of the hair wrapped around it. These brushes should be cleaned every week. Many people believe that the more features a robot vacuum cleaner will have, the better. A vacuum cleaner that can combine wet and dry cleaning is considered universal. However, there are also disadvantages here. If the device performs many functions, then their quality generally decreases. It is important to always pay attention to the type of material from which the robot vacuum cleaner is made. The most widespread is a special type of plastic. It will have shockproof characteristics. Also, such plastic is able to protect furniture from various mechanical damage. But the body of the robot itself can be prone to scratching. It should be noted and such an important circumstance that about eighty percent of all robotic vacuum cleaners are made in China.
However, backlash against Asian manufacturers is not always appropriate. Recently, such manufacturers have begun to pay more attention to the quality of goods. But before the purchase itself, you still need to make sure that you have a warranty coupon, the ability to purchase spare parts for the device in the event of an unexpected breakdown. The seller must check the performance of the vacuum cleaner before your eyes, as well as the functioning of all of its modes. Before you go to the store for a robot vacuum cleaner, determine the area of the floor that you are going to clean this way. The range of models that will suit you ideally will also depend on this characteristic. In order for the robot vacuum cleaner to work flawlessly for as long as possible, systematically clean the brushes from accumulated hair and dust, do not replace the battery and other parts yourself. It is also recommended to remove objects from the floor before turning on the vacuum cleaner that may interfere with the movement of the device. Modern people want to keep pace with the development of technology. Therefore, the possession of innovative products is a completely natural desire. But when choosing another novelty for your home, be sure to use common sense. This will allow you to enjoy your purchase to the fullest.
