If you have ever used a robot vacuum cleaner, then you know that this is, if not the most necessary, then a very useful thing in any home. You get used to it very quickly, and at some point it becomes simply irreplaceable. However, not all models of robotic vacuum cleaners are convenient and good, therefore, their choice must be approached carefully.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a brand. There are many brands and models of robotic vacuum cleaners on the market today. Experts also recommend paying attention to the manufacturer "iRobot", which was the first to produce such devices and is dominant in terms of technical innovations. You can, of course, turn to more affordable models, but you may lose some of the significant advantages of the robot vacuum cleaner offered by iRobot.
Step 2
Find out the list of sensors that are present in the selected model of the robot vacuum cleaner. Basically, they are equipped with IR sensors on the front bumper, which detect objects in front, and IR sensors at the bottom, which calculate elevation differences. There are also mechanical sensors that detect collisions with an object and change the direction of movement. If you want to purchase a more advanced model, then it should be equipped with an additional ultrasonic sensor that calculates the distance for the object and, using the controller, reduces the speed of the device and walks around the object neatly. In addition, a number of robotic vacuum cleaners have pollution level sensors.
Step 3
Examine the construction of the cleaning part of the robot vacuum cleaner. It consists of a dustbin, two brushes for large debris, a side brush for cleaning in hard-to-reach places and a suction for ordinary debris and dust. The quality of cleaning depends on what materials were used for the production of these parts. Brushes, for example, should be such that they do not entangle threads, animal hair and hair.
