Your floors are cleaned daily by a robotic assistant so that when you wake up or get home from work you have one less thing to do. Unfortunately, the theory doesn\u2019t always translate well in practice.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robot_Vacuums_Have_Real_Benefits\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Robot Vacuums Have Real Benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A robot vacuum is exactly what it sounds like: a small, autonomous cleaning device that deploys itself automatically to clean up after you. Once you\u2019ve made the initial investment, they\u2019re incredibly cheap to run and require only periodic attention from you in the form of emptying them as you would a standard vacuum.<\/p>\n<p>Robot vacuums are much smaller than your standard cylinder, upright, or stick vacuum cleaners. They don\u2019t need to be ergonomic since you won\u2019t be \u201cusing\u201d them in the traditional sense. Since they don\u2019t have to be human-proof, they can also forego much of the metal tubes and hard-wearing plastic that you might find on a Hoover or Henry.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-763897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/irobot_roomba_s3.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iRobot Roomba s3+\" width=\"650\" height=\"465\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">iRobot<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By far the biggest draw of a robotic vacuum cleaner is that they clean your floors so you don\u2019t have to. Most allow you to program or manually deploy them, often using a smartphone app or web interface. They operate on a set-and-forget basis, and if you work out of the house in the day you might never cross paths with one in your hallway.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do they clean your house automatically, but they also return to their charging docks at the end of a cycle so that they\u2019re ready to go next time. You can\u2019t forget to charge a robot vacuum, and most will even notify you when it\u2019s time to empty the dust compartment.<\/p>\n<p>Since they\u2019re a lot smaller than a traditional vacuum, they\u2019re a lot quieter too. They use additional tricks like small brushes that sweep debris towards the main intake and some can even detect the type of surface they are cleaning and adjust as necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is that your cat might just sit on the robot vacuum and gift you with an endless supply of Instagram fodder, as demonstrated in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BWJnOuUhPuv\/\">this post<\/a> from the account reallydumbcats.\u00a0Be prepared for this to go the other way and for your cat to hate you for introducing a new adversary to their domain too.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Abode_and_Life_Must_Be_Compatible\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Your Abode (and Life) Must Be Compatible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By far the biggest question to ask yourself before you invest in a robot vacuum is: is my house, and by extension life, compatible?<\/p>\n<p>Home layout is one obstacle. Not everyone lives in a modern apartment with level carpets and walls at right angles. Some people live in older houses, while others have quirky layouts that may pose a problem.<\/p>\n<p>If your house has a combination of carpet, tiles, and wooden floors you likely have transitions between surfaces. These can be bumpy and uneven, and your vacuum might not be able to navigate them. You may live in a split-level house with steps leading from one living area to another, for which there is currently no solution in the robot vacuum world. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/96881\/dyson-aims-to-fix-the-biggest-issue-with-robot-vacuums\/\">Dyson is reportedly working on the problem<\/a>, however.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-764362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/robot-vacuum-cleaner-on-edge-steps.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Robot vacuum on the edge of a staircase\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/robotic-vacuum-cleaner-on-floor-1303053772\">esp2k\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But layout is only one part of the puzzle. Most of us have a small jungle of interestingly-shaped furniture and objects in our homes like shoes in the hallway or clothes on the bedroom floor. Cables are another unsightly but necessary evil, and if you rent you might not be able to adequately address the problem.<\/p>\n<p>If you have children or pets, you\u2019re probably used to toys and activities cluttering up the floor. These items are like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Czech_hedgehog\">Czech hedgehogs<\/a> for most robot vacuum cleaners, and may cause them to avoid large areas entirely. It\u2019s not always possible to clear the way before your robot does its thing.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t an issue when doing a weekly clean or spot-fixing problem areas. But the whole point of a robot vacuum is convenience, so you might want to consider how much you\u2019ll need to nanny your autonomous assistant for it to work as advertised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/96881\/dyson-aims-to-fix-the-biggest-issue-with-robot-vacuums\/\"><strong><em>Dyson Aims to Fix The Biggest Issue With Robot Vacuums<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Dont_Fully_Replace_Your_Standard_Vacuum\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">They Don\u2019t Fully Replace Your Standard Vacuum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Robot vacuums were never designed to be the only vacuum you own but rather to help keep the place a bit tidier.
