TOP 10 best robotic vacuum cleaners for home according to customer reviews

Every year, robotic vacuum cleaners are being modernized and models with improved functions, navigation systems and characteristics appear. In order not to be unfounded, we have compiled the TOP 10 robotic vacuum cleaners for the home. Make a rating of the best vacuum cleaner robots years, we were helped by customer reviews and experts in household appliances.

What to look for when choosing?

To choose a robot vacuum cleaner for the home, you need to determine which items are most important for high-quality cleaning.

Number of sensors

Sensors help an automated vacuum cleaner navigate in space. The more of them, the better the trajectory of movement will be. Almost all models are equipped with collision sensors, obstacle recognition. The former change the path when they collide with furniture or walls. The latter see the obstacle from afar and avoid collision. Usually, sensors are infrared. They use the beam to estimate the distance to the obstacle. More advanced robots may have additional sensors:

• ultrasound - are considered to be better in comparison with infrared;
• laser - scan the space with a laser beam;
• contamination - determine the level of surface contamination for re-passing through the site or to increase the suction power;
• coatings - some models can recognize a change in the floor surface, which allows you to change the power for high-quality cleaning (for example, increase on carpets).

Number of operating modes

Almost all robot vacuum cleaners have automatic and local modes of operation. The first provides for the independent passage of the vacuum cleaner room along its own trajectory. The second is intended for cleaning dirty areas (mainly with a spiral). Also, almost all cleaners can walk the room around the perimeter, entering the corners. These are the main modes, the presence of which is necessary for high-quality cleaning.

There are models with special modes such as overpower or underpower. In the first case, a more thorough cleaning takes place, in the second, the work is distinguished by a low noise level. There is also an accelerated mode for quickly passing through the apartment or designed to clean only one room.

If the vacuum cleaner allows you to schedule work, it will turn on automatically at a certain time and clean according to the selected mode, for example, every other day or on certain days. Simpler robots only allow you to set the time by a timer, i.e.cleaning will take place every day at the same time. A good feature is the ability to limit cleaning times.

Dust box volume and autonomy

The larger the capacity of the waste container, the longer the vacuum cleaner can work without having to empty. When it is full, the robot will not be able to continue cleaning. On average, containers are 0.4-0.6 liters, which is enough to clean the entire house with an area of ​​up to 80 sq.m.

Particular attention should be paid to the type and capacity of the battery. The larger it is, the longer the robot will be able to function autonomously. If the battery sits down, the device will return to the base for recharging (if there is such a function). Some models are then able to continue working from the stopping point. Batteries are:

• Ni-MH: require full discharge before installing on the base (otherwise they will quickly lose capacity);
• Li-Ion: charges faster and lasts longer;
• Li-Pol: Eco-friendly, lighter but more expensive.

Wet cleaning function

Some vacuum cleaners can wipe the floor with a rag. To do this, you need to fix a napkin on the bottom. In advanced models, a water reservoir is provided, from which liquid is supplied to the napkin evenly (automatically). Sometimes it comes in drip, in which case wet marks may remain on the floor.

The water tank can be immediately fixed in the housing, i.e. the floor is wiped together with the collection of dust, or inserted instead of the dust collector (dry and wet cleaning occur alternately). Some vacuum cleaners do not have a reservoir. The rag must be moistened manually. This function is practically useless, because the napkin will need to be constantly wetted, stopping the device.

Wet cleaning is suitable for any hard surfaces: tiles, laminate, linoleum.

Height of overcome obstacles

Robot vacuum cleaners are able to overcome thresholds, which allows them to clean the entire apartment, freely penetrating from room to room. The higher the vacuum cleaner has, the better. This means that he can also go on the carpet, "slip" through some random object on the floor, etc. On average, robots overcome thresholds up to 1.5-1.8 cm, but there are models that go through a height of up to 2.5 cm.

Shape and height

Almost all robotic vacuum cleaners are round. This increases their cross-country ability and maneuverability. Side brushes collecting garbage from corners, along the baseboards. Some manufacturers are developing oval and rectangular models, explaining this with greater efficiency. But there are no reliable facts about the influence of the form on the quality of cleaning.

The height of the robot plays an important role when there is a lot of furniture in the house that needs cleaning. On average, vacuum cleaners have a height of about 7-10 cm, but there are also models of 3-6 cm, which allows them to penetrate even under the lowest furniture.

Suction power

The suction power of the robot affects the ability to pick up larger debris. In some vacuum cleaners, this parameter can be adjusted or it changes automatically, taking into account the type of surface, the degree of its pollution. So, the enhanced mode is used mainly on carpets for better cleaning. Also, at high power, cleaning is much faster.

Noise level

Since the vacuum cleaner can take a long time to clean, the constant hum can be annoying. Therefore, it is better to choose a robot with a noise level of up to 50 dB. If the cleaning will take place automatically in the absence of the owners, you can especially not pay attention to this parameter.

Equipment

In addition to everything necessary for work (battery, dust compartment, power adapter), vacuum cleaners can be equipped with spare brushes, filters, napkins for wet floor cleaning. Such a spare set of consumables will be very useful. Some models have a cleaning zone limiter (virtual wall), special devices for cleaning the trash can, a cloth for cleaning the case, etc.
