Vacuuming carpets is essential for health, esthetics and prolonging the life of your carpet.
Unfortunately, some vacuums are heavy, cumbersome or awkward.
They can be difficult to carry upstairs, tough on your back and wrists
And exceptionally noisy - not to mention taking up precious time
Which could be better used for something else.

Thankfully, there is now a solution to all these issues!
Robotic vacuum cleaners are becoming more and more popular, more affordable,
And more efficient as technology develops.

What Are Robotic Vacuum Cleaners?

Robotic vacuum cleaners, sometimes known as ‘robovacs’ are automatic vacuum cleaners.
This means that there is no need for a person to hold the vacuum cleaner
Or expend any energy cleaning carpets.
The robotic vacuum cleaner is usually a fairly flat, round piece of equipment
With spinning brushes which is controlled by programming and proximity sensors
Which enable the machine to change direction when bumping into walls or furniture.

Do Robotic Vacuum Cleaners Suit Everyone?

Robot vacuums come with all sorts of features and are priced accordingly.
If you live in a carpeted house, for instance, a robotic vacuum
Which specializes in hardwood floors won't be right for you.
Look for a vacuum that can detect what sort of surface it’s on
And adjust suction accordingly.
Battery life tends to be around one hour before the vacuum needs recharging,
So you’ll also need to consider the size of your home.
Furthermore, robotic vacuums are revolutionizing senior citizens’ lifestyles
And the lifestyles of homeowners who have pets and therefore vacuum more regularly
Along with those with mobility issues or people pressed for time.
Needless, to say, robovacs are an exceptionally convenient alternative
To traditional vacuum cleaners.

Do Robotic Vacuum Cleaners Work Well?

Bear in mind that lower-end models of robotic vacuum cleaners may
Have less suction power than a traditional cleaner.
However, increasingly, robotic vacuums are keeping up with
Traditional vacuum cleaners in terms of suction and cleaning power
And some even deliver a better performance.
You don’t need to follow the robovac around the house while it cleans
And they are so convenient that this alone makes them worth the investment.

Owning a robotic vacuum cleaner probably won’t mean that you
Never need to get the vacuum out again.
However, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks
And having to charge the robovac after each use is a small price to pay
For the benefit of only having to get the upright vacuum
Out once or twice a month.
