Are you considering buying a cleaning robot? Then you will
find the review of the four cleaning robots to be useful. Here, you will also
find tips on how to choose a cleaning robot and how to clean your home if you
have pets or are suffering from allergies. There are many different kinds of
cleaning robots in the market. This is why choosing one can be a daunting task
especially for people who have not used a cleaning robot before.
iRobot Roomba 980 Vacuum Cleaning Robot
One of the things that I have noticed about the iRobotRoomba 980 Vacuum Cleaning Robot from previous Roomba models is that it really
does a better job when it comes to room navigation. Compared to old models, the
980 is really smart thanks to its simultaneous location and mapping feature.
What this means is that it builds a map as it goes along and then refers back
to the map when needed. This does not mean though that the 980 does not bump
into walls and furniture anymore like other cleaning robots. It still does,
especially during the first few times of operation. After all, this product is
not perfect. But after a few passes, it seems to have learned its lessons.
Another nifty feature of the 980 is that it is Wi-Fi enables
and that it is powered by an app that you can download for free. This means
that you can control it anytime and from anywhere. Through the app, you can
control the robot cleans your home such as whether it will use one or two
passes. You can also use the app to turn on features such as final edge clean
and the carpet boost. The last is a feature that allows the Roomba to increase
the performance of its motor to better clean carpets and rugs and get rid of
even the hardest to reach dirt and dust. The app also allows users to schedule
cleaning time with the Roomba.
Another improvement in the 980 is battery life. It can go
for 2 full hours without needing a charge. Again, this is largely because of
the ability of the 980 to navigate rooms well. It translates to better energy
efficiency.
What consumers really want to know for sure is if the Roomba
gets it the job done. You will be delighted to know that yes it does. It is
definitely more efficient than other robots in the market and past Roombas and
it does not skip a spot.
So if you already are a Roomba user and want to upgrade or
even if you are buying a robot cleaner for the first time, this product is
highly recommended.
iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets and
Allergies
If you have pets or if you regularly suffer from allergies
then an ordinary vacuum cleaner may not be able to deliver the deep cleaning
that you need. You should seriously consider getting the iRobot Roomba 880Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets and Allergies.
What makes this different from regular vacuum cleaners and
even other Roombas? The 880 is actually a very powerful cleaner. It allows for
deeper cleaning thanks to its revolutionary AeroForce Cleaning System that
delivers up to 5x the air power of other vacuum cleaners. This means that pet
hair, dander and other allergens surely won't be able to hide from this monster
of a cleaner. Add to this the fact that the 880 is just 3.6 inches tall. This
means that it can got under almost any type of furniture. This solves the
problem of not being able to reach allergens that are located in small spaces
under furniture.
Like the 980, the 880 is also Wi-Fi enabled and app powered.
This means that you can also control this cleaner remotely using your mobile
device. Through the app, you can also schedule the 880 to run up to 7x per
week.
But before you think that the 880 is one perfect robot
cleaner, let me discuss weaknesses of the product. First of all, a word of
warning. If you have severe allergies then you should avoid getting near this
cleaner while it is operating. It seems to be throwing dust and allergens into
the air especially with its side brushes. Just get out of its way when it is
working. Another thing that you should know is that even though the Roomba 880
is a very efficient cleaner, you should still do some room prep if you really
want to have a totally spotless room, especially if a room is extremely dirty.
You should also remove small objects such toys in its path. This objects can
block the rollers of the Roomba.
These issues are minor though compared to the benefits that
the 880 brings. If you suffer from allergies, this could be the answer to your
problems.
iRobot Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets
It's nice to have pets but pet owners will be the first to
admit that keeping animals at home can cause some problems especially for
people who are prone to allergies. Ordinary vacuum cleaners do not seem
effective in getting rid of pet hair and dander. The answer to the problems of
pet owners can be found in the iRobot Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for
Pets.
It has the features of the 980 and 880 that has become
standards in Roomba cleaning robots such as the iAdapt Responsive Navigation
that allows the robot to smartly navigate around rooms, clean around clutter
and avoid stairs. It also has low profile design that allows it to go easily go
under furniture such as beds, couches and kickboards. It is also very simple to
operate. AI you need to do is to press clean and the robot will start working
already. You can also schedule the robot to operate up to 7x per week. Like the
980 and 880 it also features a 3-stage cleaning system that uses a combination
of brushing, agitation and suction. It also has a spinning side brush that lets
it clean wall edges and even corners. Unlike the 980 and the 880 though the 650
is not app powered and it is not Wi-Fi enabled. To preset cleaning schedules,
you need to do so with the unit itself or through the remote provided.
The best feature of the 650 though is its cleaning ability.
You will be surprised by the amount of dirt, dust and pet hair that this unit
is able to collect. It really is a very powerful cleaner and can even suck dirt
that clings to surfaces. The 650 has a big dust bin so it can hold in more dirt
compared to other cleaners. The size of the 650 also makes it easier to clean
compared to other cleaners.
Overall, the 650 is a very good cleaner. The only problem is
that it seem to get stuck more often unlike other Roomba units. This unit is
also quite noisy but it is bearable.
iRobot Roomba 770 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets and Allergies
Like the 880, the iRobot Roomba 770 Vacuum Cleaning Robot
for Pets and Allergies is a very powerful cleaning robot making it also an
ideal choice for people who have pets and who suffer from allergies. But what
is the difference between the two? The 770 has the added feature called Dirt
Detect Series II. This feature allows the robot to identify the dirtier areas
of your home and acts accordingly. The cleaner is able to achieve this thanks
to its optical and acoustic sensor that can detect high concentrations of dirt,
dust, pet hair, etc. in a particular room. After finding the dirtiest spot in
your home the Roomba will then perform what is known as focused cleaning.
Like the 880. the 770 can help act rid of all types of
allergens includina dust. dander and pet hair. And like other best-selling
Roomba models, it also features a one-touch system. Al you need to do to get
started with the 770 is to press the "Clean" button. You can also
schedule the 770 in advanced for up to 7x per week. It works on all floor types
and has the low profile design that many people come to love about Roomba
cleaners. Like the 650 though, it is also not Wi-Fi enabled and is not powered
by an app. But that is probably the only weakness of this product. If you can
call it a weakness.
Another thing that you will love about the 770 is that it is
so quiet. Other Roomba machines are actually notorious for producing noise. But
this one is different. This feature alone may be enough for some people to
choose this product over others.
But as they say, the testing of the pudding is in the
eating. So does the 770 work? The answer is a resounding yes. Many long-time
allergy sufferers have experienced an improvement in their condition after
using the 770.
Types of Robot Cleaners
As you can see from the review above, there are many
different types of robot cleaners. You have just read reviews of 4 Roomba
cleaners and they are very different from each other. You can classify robot
cleaners based on their cleaning power. As you see above, there are basically
two types of robot cleaners based on cleaning ability: regular robot cleaners
and cleaners for pets and for allergens. The latter is more powerful and is
designed to get rid of even the toughest type of dirt to get rid of such as pet
hair, dander, dust and other allergens.
You can also classify cleaning robots based on features.
There are robots that have more advanced features such as being Wi-Fi enabled
and app powered. Such cleaners can be operated remotely using an app and Wi-Fi
connection. So even if you are in your office for example, you can operate your
cleaner with the use of an app and your Wi-Fi connection at home. Obviously,
such features are geared towards busy individuals who are looking automate the
small tasks in their daily lives.
How to choose the best
Choosing the best robot cleaner will depend mostly of your
need. After all, people have different needs. What might be best for one person
may not be necessarily the best for other individuals. So in choosing the best
robot cleaner, always consider your needs. For example, if you are someone who
has pets at home or if you are suffering from allergies, then it is highly
advisable that you get a powerful cleaner. One that has the ability to clean
allergens such dirt, pet hair, dander, etc. As you can see from the reviews
above, Roombas actually has cleaners designed specifically for people who have
pets at home and for those who are suffering from allergies.
You should also consider your lifestyle when choosing robot
cleaners. If you are a very busy individual then you would benefit well from a
robot cleaner that is Wi-Fi enables and can be controlled using an app. These
types of cleaners can be controlled remotely through an app that you can
download to your mobile device. You can also schedule these cleaners ahead of
time so you won't need to manually press their buttons every time you need your
house cleaned. It is also important for busy individuals to get cleaners that
are virtually maintenance-free or at least a machine that requires very little
maintenance work.
How to clean for pets and carpet
Pets and carpets are not a very good combination. We all
know how hard it is to clean pet hair in carpets. But there are cleaners in the
market that are specifically designed for people who have pets. These cleaners
have very powerful motors that can easily suck even the finest of pet hair,
even if they are stuck in a carpet. The Roomba 650, 880 and 770 are
specifically made for people who have pets in their houses. The 980, on the
other hand, has a feature called carpet boost that allows for thorough cleaning
of carpets.
Conclusion
Cleaning robots are not something that you would call
necessities. But they do offer convenience especially for very busy
individuals. If you are planning to get a cleaning robot, make sure that you
consider your needs and your lifestyle first and based your decision
accordingly.
