What robot vacuum cleaner to choose?

Robot vacuum cleaners have long ceased to be a newfangled toy and turned into full-fledged helpers around the house. They help to maintain cleanliness without daily cleaning by hand, and this is their main advantage. In this regard, when choosing a vacuum cleaner for home, it is better to focus on autonomy and simplicity in work, because it often turns out to be much more useful than additional functions.

The main characteristics that have the greatest value include:

1. suction power;

2. size and shape;

3. dust collector capacity;

4. support for wet cleaning;

5. automatic operation time.

But in the first place you should always put the effectiveness of the navigation system and the possibility of programming the schedule. If a robot vacuum is not well oriented in space, then all its other advantages are reduced to nothing. In addition, the timer and the ability to set the schedule greatly simplify the work.

The leader among all models can be called iRobot Roomba 980 and Neato Botvac D85, which are highly autonomous. But because of the high prices, they are not available to everyone. The Miele SJQL0 Scout RX1 robot vacuum cleaner is cheaper, but you have to manually start cleaning every day.

Of the more available options, you can select Xiaomi Mi Robot, which offers a good set of features, including scheduling programming and control over Wi-Fi. A good set of features offers iRobot Roomba 616, but when wet cleaning will have to regularly add water and prepare for possible leaks.

Panda X500 Pet Series or Kitfort KT-503 can be recommended from budget models. This is a good option for those who want a robot assistant for little money. They do a good job with ordinary flooring, but it’s not hard to require complicated cleaning.
