Investing in a small appliance always brings with it doubts the moments before the purchase, it is not usually a small expense and the fear of not getting it right can always be present. Especially if they are relatively recent products in our lives, such as robot vacuum cleaners.
With this in mind we have consulted an expert colleague To break down the possible pros and cons of these ”stand-alone vacuums,” here are their takeaways:
Advantages of a robot vacuum cleaner
To bring some light about the advantages or not of investing in a robot vacuum cleaner We have consulted with our fellow expert Jose Manuel Gallego (Compradiccion and Xataka) and he has told us the following:
A robot vacuum cleaner is an almost essential complement in cleaning the home. Especially if we have pets. It is important to bet, if our budget allows it, on models with intelligent navigation. This will allow the robot to perform its task more efficiently. For example, some have laser sensors that create a virtual map of our house to plan cleaning routes and avoid obstacles.
Intelligent navigation is undoubtedly an essential point if we want to get hold of a really useful robot vacuum cleanerso it is an important feature to take into account before buying, even if it means an increase in spending, as José Manuel confirms.
It is true that there are very cheap devices but, without intelligent navigation, they would wander in a reckless way hitting our furniture. And, although many models include a “mopping function”, it is nothing more than a wet mop. Perhaps it is advisable, if we really need it to also perform this task, to acquire a specific robot.
Possible cons of a robot vacuum cleaner
As for the cons, Jose Manuel has little to add beyond what we mentioned before the smart navigationdetail that can increase the list of cons:
For me it is a perfect complement at home. Perhaps, that it does not avoid deep cleanings. If we do a general cleaning, for example, every weekend, then the robot can do that daily maintenance. And if there are pets that shed hair, it is a great help.
In conclusion, they are an ideal purchase to complement daily cleaning at home –thinking that they will do all the work is unrealistic, but they help with that perfect maintenance and considerably reduce fluff, crumbs or pet hair on the floor…
