Main features & measurement units 

Learn about the basic measurement units of all the necessary characteristics for your purchase.

1. Drum capacity

The drum capacity is measured in liters. Prefer a drum larger than 400ml to reduce the emptying of the drum!

2. Absorption power

Pascals (Pa) calculate the maximum absorption power of the vacuum cleaner. Most robot vacuums, with today's data, average between 2000 and 2500 Pa.

3. Noise level

Decibels (dB) are the unit of measurement for sound intensity. The lower the decibels, the quieter the vacuum cleaner operates. For example, a vacuum cleaner with 69 dB or less is likely to be a low-noise option. .

4. Battery

The autonomy of the robot vacuum will not be a problem for you, as most have autonomy for about 1 hour. If you live in a small/medium apartment or house, 30-60 minutes of autonomy is enough, while if you live in a larger space, you should look for a vacuum with 60-90 minutes of autonomy, so that it can cover the entire house with one charge. There are models with autonomy of over 2 or even 3 hours. Some smarter models return to the charging base on their own when the battery is depleted.

Also, check the required time for your vacuum to recharge! Some models take several hours before they can operate again.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner & Accessories Cleaning

Cleaning

To keep your robot vacuum in good condition for a long time and to function properly, you should clean it frequently!

Empty the dustbin and clean it with a cleaning brush. Also, once a week, remove and carefully clean the filter, which we recommend replacing every 6-12 months. Also, clean the drop sensors of your vacuum every 3 months with a soft cloth.

Mopping

If your vacuum has a water tank for mopping, rinse it after each use! For cleaning the mop pad, you should remove it and clean it with water. After it dries well, put it back on the vacuum. We recommend replacing it every 3 to 6 months.

Oh! Don't forget to get some of the various accessories for your robot vacuum, such as a mop pad, replacement brushes, and replacement water tanks.

Additionally, you can also get a virtual wall that prevents the vacuum from passing through the area where it will be placed, to limit its action to the specific area you choose.
