Criterias of choice
The purchase of household appliances is a crucial step. When choosing, you need to focus on the input parameters, take into account the type of movement, additional characteristics.
Control method
Robot vacuum cleaners have 2 types of control:
- Mechanical type. When the selection of programs is carried out by pressing the keys on the case.
- Remote type. When the robot can be controlled remotely. Programs are set via the remote control or an application installed on a smartphone.
Smart smart appliances connect to a smartphone thanks to Wi-Fi technology and completely obey the commands coming from the phone. This technique is in demand when implementing flagship programs in the home electronics market.
Operating time without recharging
Stand-alone models run on a fully charged battery. They can work without electric recharging for 2 to 4 hours. Work for 100 minutes is considered a good indicator. A convenient function, users consider the presence of a special indicator on the case, which makes it possible to know about the critical value of the charge.
Coating types
When buying, you should pay attention to the functionality of the device. Some models are capable of working only on flat surfaces, while others can easily clean carpets with a short pile
Long pile carpets are a problem for robotics. Small polishers' bodies are often entangled in such coatings, and the cleaning settings get confused. Floor washers are designed to move on any type of flat surface. They clean tiles, cork, linoleum, parquet, laminate, marble.
Navigation
The model's ability to map the area deserves special mention. Contact polishing vacuum cleaners detect obstacles in the form of furniture and move along a set path. Non-contact models draw up a movement map in advance, based on data obtained using the built-in sensors.
