How Does a Robot Vacuum Work? Everything You Need to Know!

A clean house without having to vacuum yourself? That sounds like a dream! Fortunately, this is possible with a robot vacuum cleaner. This smart cleaning aid takes the hard work off your hands and ensures that your house is always tidy. But how does a robot vacuum cleaner actually work? In this blog we will explain it to you!

What is a robot vacuum cleaner?

A robot vacuum cleaner is an automatic vacuum cleaner that cleans your floors independently. It moves through your home using sensors and advanced software. Some models even have a mopping function, so that your floor remains not only dust-free, but also spotlessly clean.

How does a robot vacuum cleaner work?

A robot vacuum cleaner works with smart technologies such as sensors, navigation systems and sometimes even artificial intelligence. These are the most important parts and functions:

1. Navigation and sensors

The robot vacuum cleaner uses sensors to avoid obstacles and move efficiently through your home. There are different types of navigation systems:

• Random navigation : The robot moves around randomly and changes direction when encountering an obstacle.

• Systematic navigation : The robot uses a map of your home to work more efficiently and not miss any spots.

• Lidar or camera-based navigation : These advanced models scan your home and create an accurate floor plan.

2. Suction power and brushes

Most robot vacuum cleaners have rotating brushes and a powerful suction motor. This ensures that dust, crumbs and pet hair are effectively sucked up. Especially if you have pets, it is important to choose a model that is specially designed for this.

3. Robot vacuum cleaner with mopping function

Some robot vacuum cleaners can not only vacuum, but also mop. This is done with a water tank and a microfiber cloth. Handy if you have hard floors and want that little bit of extra cleaning convenience!

4. Control via an app

Most modern robot vacuums are app-controlled. With a special app on your smartphone, you can set cleaning schedules, have specific rooms cleaned and monitor progress. Some models even work with voice assistants such as Google Assistant or Alexa.

5. Automatic charging function

When the battery runs out, the robot vacuum cleaner automatically drives back to its charging station. Some advanced models even resume their cleaning route once they are recharged.

Buying a robot vacuum cleaner: what should you pay attention to?

If you want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, there are a few important things to consider:

• What kind of floors do you have? Not all robot vacuums are as good on carpet as they are on hard floors.

• Do you have pets? Choose a model with strong suction and anti-tangle brushes.

• Do you want a robot vacuum cleaner with a mopping function? Then it is important to look at the size of the water tank and the mopping possibilities.

• Is an app controllable model important to you? This can bring a lot of convenience.
  

Do you have pets, is mopping a must and do you find APP control handy? Perhaps the RoboCleaner 1400 is your best choice.
