Bagless Robotic Sweepers
For some, robot vacuums like Scuttle Bug or RoRo have become the family pets. They even play hide-and-seek with their owners!
Robot vacuums and mops are self-cleaning machines that you can set up. They'll last for years with little maintenance, like emptying the bins and cleaning the brushes.
1. Powerful suction
Bagless robotic sweepers have suction capabilities comparable to that of traditional vacuum cleaners. They are equipped with different features that allow them to deal with different kinds of floors and sizes of homes. The most effective robots allow you to schedule cleaning for certain rooms and set limits on areas you want or don't want it to clean. You can use an app to change the intensity of your robot's cleaning and track its progress as it moves.
Another feature that many users appreciate is the ability to alter the direction in which your robot sweeps in and from where it begins. This feature is particularly useful in areas with lots of corners and doors, based on the arrangement of your home. Many robots also come with a docking station that lets you switch out disposable or reusable dustbins and recharge the robot between uses. Some even feature an auto-emptying base that eliminates the need for purchasing disposal bags.
The biggest drawback with bagless hands-free vacuum robotic sweepers is that they can be very expensive. This is particularly true of models that have a base that can be self-emptied which can add substantial amounts to the price of the device. However, these devices are becoming increasingly common and can be an excellent option for homeowners who are exhausted of manually cleaning their floors or battling with pet hair.
While the Eufy 11s does a good job of general vacuuming and getting into my home's nooks and crevices, it does have some flaws in the area of picking up pet hair. It comes with an anti-tangle tool which is designed to shred and cut up hair. However I found myself constantly picking and rearranging hair of dogs and cats. The robot could also become stuck on carpets and become trapped by soft, high pile fibers.
Some of the more expensive models I tried (such as the Shark Matrix Auto-Emptying Vacuum) featured superior pet hair collection and navigation. Their dual dustbins that can be switched between to take in different amounts of debris, are more effective at collecting fur and are easier to empty. Their square shape lets them navigate around corners better than circular robots, too. They have excellent object recognition and can consume Cheerios and oatmeal, as well as piles of it and even fake dog turds while navigating cords for lamps and fake dog turds.
2. Cleansing with adaptability
The ability to adapt to changes in the environment is one of the most important characteristics you'll discover on any robot vacuum. This is especially true for bagless smart sweepers model. Your robo-vac will be able to recognize, for instance, what type of floor that you have in each space, whether it is soft or hard. It will also learn how to maneuver around obstacles such as stairs and furniture. The more information your robo-vac can gather more information, the better equipped it is to clean your entire home.
A robotic cleaner that is smart can also reach into corners that traditional brooms and dustpans can't, as well as under beds and other high places that require your knees and hands. Some robots, depending on the model that you select, can be programmed to clean specific areas or rooms during specific times of the day.
The top robot vacuums will remove fine particles such as baking soda and sand and heavier debris such as heaps of oatmeal, orzo pasta, nuts and screws made of metal and even fluffy items like pet hair effortlessly. They are also able to be able to get into tight spots where a stick broom could be difficult to reach. They're also quieter than conventional upright or canister vacuums, and can be set up to be running in the background while you read or watch television.
Some models can sweep and mop floors as well as vacuum. These robots require special attention. You'll have to take off the mopping pad and wash it (and let it dry) before reinstalling. If the manufacturer recommends you do this you should clean and rinse the filter regularly (and allow it to dry).
Most mops are reusable multiple times, but make sure you buy one with a large tank of water and a lot of mopping pads (the Dreametech W10 for example, which won a Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning and Organizing Award in the past, holds up to 12 mopping pads as well as 5 gallons). Some of the more sophisticated models have charger docks which can replenish the tank and empty the bin.
3. Efficient
Robot vacuums have developed faster than any other household appliance. In the beginning they were a collection of overpriced devices that sat on the stairs and were suffocated with pet hair and cat litter, but now there's an amazing selection of models in every price bracket that come with self-emptying bins, mapping capabilities mopping functions, and much more.
The robotic vacuum has been enhanced by incorporating better obstacles avoidance. This is the ability to detect and avoid obstacles that cause problems like tangled cords furniture legs and piles dog waste (catch the hall-of-fame CNET article for more details on this issue). Even the best robot vacuums can't always avoid them all the time, meaning they can still get flustered by them and end up snagged or scattering poop across your floors, causing a mess expensive and time-consuming oops.
More advanced robots use gyro-, camera-, radar- and laser-(laser distance sensor, also known as LDS) guided systems to trace the floor plan of your space to ensure that they're getting a thorough cleaning and not missing any spaces. They can also keep and update multiple floorplans. This makes them more productive and cuts down on time they have to spend cleaning the same areas or repeating steps.
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that you can set and forget, the iRobot+ is the best we've ever tested. It topped all competitors we tested when it came to mapping, establishing virtual boundaries, and avoiding obstacles making it the ideal "set it and forget it" robot vac.
If, however, you're more looking to save cash and don't require features like mapping or a self-emptying bin check out our budget pick for the year: the Eufy 11S. It is suitable for flooring with a low pile and hardwood floors and cleans up cat litter, pet hair and dust. Its onboard dustbin holds up to 45 days of dirt, and when it is full, it will automatically return to its charging dock for emptying.
4. Easy to maintain
Robotic vacuums and mops must be cleaned regularly as does any other household appliance. How often you clean it will depend on the needs of your household and the model. You'll need to empty your dust bin regularly and you might also need to clean the brushes or the wheels, depending on the model. The maintenance manual that is included with all robots will tell you how to keep it in good condition.
You can, for instance, rinse the bin with water and wipe it with a slightly wet (not dripping) melamine spong to remove any dirt that has been caked on. You can also clean the wheels and filters to keep it running smoothly. Nasrallah suggests that you inspect the wheels at least once a week to ensure that they're clear of threads, hairs, and other debris that could get in the machine and cause it to malfunction. It is also recommended to clean the main brushes under your robot -- the left and right drive wheels, and the side brush -- every once a month to keep them free of any debris and functioning correctly.
Some models can do double-duty as automated robot mops, which adds mopping as part of your home cleaning routine. If you are planning to make use of this feature, vacuum-proof your room thoroughly prior to turning on the mop robot. This will prevent the robot from being sucked into the vacuum by pet toys or socks which have not been secured.
Other features worth looking for include self-emptying bases that make it easier to take out the trash, a high-efficiency filter that helps reduce the amount of allergens in the air, as well as smart mapping technology that aids the robot to understand the layout of your rooms so it can clean them in a systematic way. Some models let you create areas that the robot won't clean. This is ideal if your children tend to pile their shoes on the hallway.
To determine the best bagless robot vacuum and mop for your home, Real Simple consulted experts like Forrest McCall, co-owner of the blog Mama Needs a Project; Alvin Pullins, CEO and founder of Nerd in the House; and Michele Jones, associate brand marketing director for ECOVACS Americas. The experts evaluated the items on the basis of the setup, efficiency and the level of noise. They also assessed the ease of maintenance, features, and maneuverability.
