10 Things People Hate About Robot Vac
본문
Top Rated Robot Vacuums
A robot vacuum can keep floors clean enough to decrease the frequency with which you'll need to manually vacuum. Look for one that offers an easy navigation, can clean corners and stairs, and has a large dust bin that requires emptying only once in a while.
There are models that mop and charge themselves, which is a feature essential for families with children or pets. The top performers in our tests also have good obstacle avoidance.
1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The i3+ EVO and its sibling, the i3 EVO are both identical robots that differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying features. The i3+ is a good robot vacuum alternative for those who want a an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but are willing to manually empty the dustbin of the robot after it has filled up.
Both robots excel at picking up surface debris on carpets and hard floors, and they're excellent in getting around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart maps of your home that aid the i3+ EVO to navigate and clean in a manner that maximizes efficiency. However unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots we evaluated the i3+ does not have any obstacle-avoidance features and therefore it could get stuck on things such as socks or power cords and it may have trouble traversing transitions across surfaces, such as from hardwood to carpet.
iRobot recommends clearing areas in which the i3+ EVO will vacuum before you use it, including clearing out any toys or clutter it may come across. It's also a good idea to keep the bin and filter clean so they aren't clogged by dirt. If the i3+ EVO's internal bin is full or the battery is empty it goes back to its docking station and automatically empties its debris into the station's external dustbin and continues cleaning the area where it left off. Battery life is about an hour-and-a-half of continuous use. It takes three hours to charge.
2. iRobot Roomba i7+
The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the top model in iRobot's flagship line, and it comes with all the latest features. It's self-charging, self-navigating, and the most important feature of all -- it has an auto-emptying dustbin, which eliminates one of the primary sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.
The Roomba i7+ is able to remember up to 10 floor plans and their names using Imprint Smart Mapping, a system that allows it to map rooms so it can clean them more efficiently. It also works with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning jobs, and you can control your automatic hoover robot via the app or voice.
The i7+ is quicker and more maneuverable in our tests compared to the eufy RoboVac G30. It also picked up large pet hair pieces from all surfaces, including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy, though, is its best self cleaning vacuum-emptying dustbin, which eliminates a major cause of maintenance and reduces the amount of time spent cleaning.
We were also awestruck by the i7+'s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot to start or stop cleaning sessions and also to move around the room and even vacuum a specific area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ to these services. After being connected, to speak commands to the i7+ such as "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options to manage i7+ settings and evaluating the performance.
3. Dyson Cyclone V10
In a world of vacuums with cords that look like minivans or buses, this tiny Dyson model is an automobile. It's got the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for many households, but it also fits nicely on a coffee table or on a bookshelf where you can move it around like an enchanted tool.
The V10 is powered by a 7-cell energy-dense Lithium-ion battery that produces power without fading for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filter system removes allergens, and then releases clean air back into your home. Its specialized head uses stiff nylon bristles that penetrate deep into carpets, and then pick up large particles or fine dust. It has three different suction modes that can be adapted to the task. It is able to swiftly change from handheld to floor vacuum and vice versa.
The model also comes with an accessory dock that can charge to 100% in about 3.5 hours and provides easy access to two attachments and a Wand clip. This is a major improvement over earlier Dysons that require a long charge and are difficult to store.
The main drawback of the V10 is its limited run time. Its marketing claims that it can last up to 60 minutes of run time are not true as CR's tests show. This is a typical not an extraordinary time for a battery-powered cordless vac. That's still enough run time to get rid of the majority of a typical-sized home but not long enough to clean every area (though a second run-through usually can be effective). That's not to say this model isn't a good choice: It's lighter and mobile than the older cordless Dysons, and its vacuuming performance is significantly superior on carpets with a low pile.
4. iRobot Roomba 694
The 694 is a basic robotic vacuum Cleaner Commercial vacuum that's a great choice for those who don't have lots of money to invest in the latest model of robot. It's capable of sucking up most debris types and sizes during our tests, and it often passes over the same areas multiple times to get a really thorough clean. Its flat front allows it to reach corners and the edges of walls.
Its intelligent navigation system makes use of iAdapt technology to avoid obstacles and help you navigate your home. However, it isn't equipped with the capabilities for mapping of more advanced models, such as our top picks, i3+EVO and j7+ Series. It can get stuck on phone cords or furniture and will often run out of power before returning to its home base.
The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694 because it has fewer parts that require regular cleaning, comes with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtering system, has a lower cost of recurring costs and has more advanced automation abilities and can better navigate itself. It also has a larger dustbin and can charge faster.
The eufy RoboVac X8 has a superior battery longevity than the Roomba 694. It also has physical boundaries strips and can be controlled with your smartphone's voice assistance. It's also more durable, has a stronger motor, and is more effective on floors with bare or low-pile.
5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Samsung is a brand you see on all sorts of electronic gadgets for your home It's no surprise that they're one of the top robot vacuum and mop manufacturers. Jet Bot AI+ has a cutting-edge onboard technology to navigate and avoid obstacles.
The app gives you plenty of options to personalize your robotic cleaner, including virtual barriers, mopping water levels and behavior adjustments docking frequency settings and much more. The app is easy to use and understand, just like other Samsung devices.
In our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors, and it cleaned up 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It didn't do very well in avoiding taller items such as socks or cords. This was disappointing. It's also more expensive than the other models we've tested, and this could be a problem for certain shoppers.
The app allows you to access the camera onboard of the smart vacuum. You can also create live streaming from the robot's cleaning zone. This feature allows you to check in on pets or the kids if you're away from home. The dustbin and filter are washable to make cleanup quick and easy. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with a self-emptying clean station, which helps to keep the robot's bin clear and optimizes suction power.
6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum
Black and Decker robots have been developed specifically for flooring made of hard wood. The robots have an extra wide cleaning path and dust bins that are 2 times larger than other models. This allows them to clean the area for longer. They also include two side sweepers to clean around corners and edges. The POWERSERIES model comes with AutoSense, which automatically adjusts the power level depending on whether it's picking up dirt on the surface or embedded dirt. It also includes a smart application that lets you view the virtual map, and control functions and schedules. You can also track the status of the vacuum and connect it to the dock for charging with the touch of a single button. The app lets you alter the LED lights on the top of the vacuum to determine where it is focused or if it's stuck.
The app also makes it simple to steer the best robot vacuum manually should you need to. My living room rug for example has a dark-colored border which could cause a problem for other robots. However, the HRV 425BL kept moving across the border without registering it as an incline. The ability to program a cleaning schedule for each week is a time-saving convenience.
