What is the cleaning quality of a robot vacuum cleaner?
In short
| Cleaning route | With a systematic cleaning route, the robot doesn't skip any area. |
|---|---|
| Middle brushes | That's how the robot removes pet hairs and dust clouds from the ground or carpet better. |
| Dirt detection | Is the floor really dirty? The robot recognizes this and cleans more thoroughly. |
| Side brushes | The robot better vacuums dirt from corners and along the baseboards. |
| Navigation method | How does the robot scan the room? The better the navigation method, the smaller the chance the robot will skip parts. |
Cleaning quality top class
You should buy a high-end robot vacuum if you want to use your canister vacuum as little as possible. A robot vacuum with high-end cleaning quality has at least 70% of the specifications listed in the table above. These robots distinguish themselves by the navigation method and dirt detection. High-end cleaning quality robot vacuums have the smallest chance on skipping parts of the house.
Cleaning quality middle class
The robot vacuums with a mid-range cleaning quality have at least 50% of the specifications listed in the table above. For example, these robots move through your house according to a systematic cleaning route but don't have dirt detection. A mid-range robot vacuum won't skip parts soon, but you do still need a canister vacuum often for coarser dirt.
Cleaning quality basic class
Robot vacuums with a basic cleaning quality have less than 50% of the specifications listed in the table above. For example, these robots don't follow a systematic route through the house, but just move randomly. They often skip parts in the house. But you also notice this in the price. Do you still want to use the canister vacuum on a regular basis? A robot with basic cleaning quality is suitable for you.
