Let’s face it, vacuuming is a chore most of us would like to avoid if we could. And now, thanks to robot vacuum cleaners, we can. The Good Guys have a great range of robot vacuums to choose from as well as all the latest in stick, barrel, handheld and pet vacuums and all the accessories to go with them. If you’re looking for the best in all things vacuum cleaners, you’ve come to the right place.
A robot vacuum cleaner is, as its name suggests, a vacuum cleaner which operates on its own without the need for a human to push it. Some robot vacuums use spinning brushes to get into hard to reach places and may have a number of cleaning features over and above basic vacuuming. For example, the ability to mop hard floors. The latest models use artificial intelligence and deep learning for better mapping (learning where your walls and furniture are located) and can vary suction power as needed.
Let’s examine the very best robot vacuums for your specific floor type and home.
If you have a lot of carpet The iRobot Roomba i2 Robot Vacuum is for you! With flexible rubber brushes and unique treads to loosen and lift debris, it hugs the surface of the floor to carefully clean carpet and hard floors. Not to mention, picking up hair and allergens with the help of its ingenious Power-Lifting Suction.
When it comes to hardwood floors, obviously you’ll want to avoid scratching them with your vac. Meet the intelligent and stylish Ecovacs DEEBOT X1 PLUS Robotic Vacuum and mopping cleaner packed with advanced features such as the YIKO Voice Assistant, Auto-Empty function, and powerful AIVI technology. It effortlessly tackles dirt and grime, making cleaning a breeze. Perfect for hardwood floors, it both mops and vacuumes, ensuring a pristine finish every time.
We all love our pets but none of us love the hair they shed around the house. When it comes to finding a robot vacuum to help deal with pet fur, one of the most important considerations is suction power. Most robot vacuum manufacturers talk about power in pascals (Pa), which is the metric unit of pressure (but iRobot doesn't always make this information easy to find). In general, the higher the Pa the better, especially if you have carpet. However, battery life and obstacle avoidance capabilities also play a big part in overall performance.
The iRobot Roomba Combo J7+Robot Vacuum is a powerful robotic vacuum which can analyse and remember information about the space it cleans. Keeps a variety of surfaces cleaned while you’re away from home and has hard floor, carpet cleaning, and mopping abilities, perfect for families with furry friends running around!
Lugging a cumbersome vacuum around can now be a thing of the past. Read on for the latest tech in robot vacs.
Self-emptying robot vacuums are a game-changer for busy homes! With automatic dustbin emptying, they save you time and hassle, ensuring consistent cleaning without interruption. Enjoy cleaner floors effortlessly, with less maintenance and more convenience!
This technology uses cameras, AI or infrared to enable your vac to avoid obstacles commonly found on the floor such as shoes, clothes and power cords (all of which would trip up robots with simpler navigation systems).
Some robot vacs also have a mop and sweeping option, meaning you really don’t have to lift a finger to clean your floors.
Drop-sensing technology is a must-have feature for any robot vacuum! By detecting cliffs and stairs, it prevents accidental falls, keeping your vacuum safe and your floors spotless. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your vacuum is equipped to navigate your home safely and efficiently, without any mishaps.
Most Wi-Fi robot vacuums can be programmed and controlled remotely using your smartphone. Many can even be activated with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands.
If vacuuming isn’t your thing, then yes, buying a robot vacuum cleaner is well worth considering. Just how good they are largely depends on what you want to use them for. They are a godsend for busy working people because they can be set to patrol the home all day long, picking up dust, dirt and any pet hair along the way. And they save the one thing we all desperately want more of: time! As we’ve outlined, there are certain things you need to consider when it comes to their functionality and features. However, these clever little devices are efficient, quiet and do all the hard work for you.
The Good Guys have a great range of all the latest robot vacuum cleaners and other vacuum cleaners to suit both your wallet and lifestyle. Explore the selection either in-store or online and make your floors sparkle with minimal effort.
