Introduction
It’s no secret that robot vacuum cleaners are becoming more and more popular according to Charlie Cipriano, owner of Charlie Vacs in Delray Beach Florida. They’re high-tech devices that can help you keep your home clean without much effort on your part. But it’s important to know that these smart vacuums aren’t as powerful as traditional ones, and they don’t always do a good job at cleaning carpeting. If you’re looking for a vacuum that covers all your needs, a traditional vacuum cleaner is a better choice overall than a robot vacuum according to Cipriano. If you are looking for a break from using your traditional vacuum, a Roomba is a great little helper that extends the time between having to drag out the “big guns”.
Robot Vacuums are not as powerful as regular vacuums
Robot vacuums are designed to perform regular maintenance on your floors, but they won’t do a deep clean. If you have a lot of pet hair or dirt stuck in carpeting, or if you have kids and pets who track in mud and dirt all the time, then a robot vacuum is not going to be able to get your floors as clean as a regular vacuum cleaner. You’re going to need something more powerful than that. Robot Vacuum cleaners are might have trouble getting under furniture. In fact, according to Charlie Vacs, the number one complaint is that these little robots often get stuck under furniture and don’t have the power to get themselves out. Also, they also don’t tend to go into corners as well as traditional upright vacuums where you can use a crevice tool.
Robot Vacuum Cleaners don’t deep clean carpeting
While robot vacuums can certainly clean up loose debris and dust from your hard floors, they don’t have the suction power to deep clean carpeting. If you have a lot of carpeting in your home and want a vacuum cleaner that can do both hard flooring and carpeting, then you may want to invest in two separate models: a robot vacuum for your hard floors and another regular model for carpets.
In short, robot vacuums are best used as an additional cleaning tool when you need them for convenience, such as when you don’t have time to do a thorough cleaning with your regular vacuum. They aren’t meant to replace traditional vacuums altogether, just like how smartphones don’t serve all the same functions as laptops or desktops do. It all depends on what kind of experience you want out of your home technology!
Robot Vacuum Cleaners can get stuck under furniture
While the prospect of having a robot vacuum cleaner is exciting, it’s important to remember that these little machines aren’t perfect. In addition to having lower suction power, They can get stuck under furniture or in tight corners and you may have to lift them out yourself. Even the most expensive robot vacuums are still having navigational problems. Charlie Vacs advises customers to set their expectations a little lower than all the commercials on TV would have you believe.
If you’re looking for a vacuum that covers all your needs, a traditional vacuum cleaner is a better choice
If you’re looking for a vacuum that covers all your needs, a traditional vacuum cleaner is a better choice. The best robot vacuums can only clean one floor at a time, and they don’t have any attachments or accessories that allow them to reach places like under the bed or deep in corners. The good news is that robot vacuum cleaners are inexpensive—you can pick one up for around $300. Of course, there are robot vacs that are trending over $1000, but we haven’t seen much of a performance difference when it comes down to actual cleaning that would have us recommend more expensive models. The added dollars get you a few more fancy bells and whistles like a camera view on your smartphone of the vacuums cleaning path, or a robot that will return to a docking station to empty it’s contents. But overall, cleaning on all robots that we have come across remains mediocre.
Conclusion
At Charlie Vacs, we like to say, “robot vacuum cleaners aren’t ready for prime-time.” All in all, if you’re looking for a vacuum that does everything, there are better options. A traditional vacuum cleaner will give you the power and versatility that robot vacuums can’t offer. Robot vacuums are very interesting to watch the first time you use them, but you soon realize we are quite a way off from replacing traditional vacuum cleaners with robots.
