If a product has entered domestic use with force in recent years, that is the robot vacuum cleaner. Powered by the firm Roomba, for which this device is popularly known, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) and different devices that are offered in specialized establishments to break down their characteristics, as well as the one that presents the best market supply.
Cleaning the house remotely has become a reality thanks to robot vacuum cleaners. What seemed like science fiction a few years ago, today is very common due to these devices with which a person can be sitting on the sofa while the machine works or, directly, not even be at home thanks to the programming function that some models include.
Therefore, comfort is their main weapon, the other is that they hardly require any effort in their use, so vacuuming is no longer an annoying and boring task. In addition, with the advancement of technology, it is increasingly common for these machines to avoid obstacles and map surfaces so as not to leave a single corner uncleaned. Finally, among its positive aspects, it stands out that they hardly consume energy and their environmental noise is minimal.
As it only acts on flat surfaces, this type of vacuum cleaner is not suitable for cleaning upholstery or curtains
However, it is in its cons where the purchase of a robot vacuum cleaner is most doubtful to the point of considering whether it is worth the investment. Generally expensive, the most effective models do not go below 300 euros (), nor do they completely replace traditional vacuum cleaners.
And it is that by having better power than these, they are usually ineffective on carpets and carpets. They also do not completely cover the dirt in cracks and crevices, which a sled vacuum cleaner does absorb and when moving on flat surfaces, they cannot work on curtains or upholstery either. All obstacles that leave in question if this investment could not be made on a conventional vacuum cleaner, much more efficient even if it works with human effort.
Roomba the most popular… and the best
But once its pros and cons have been analyzed, the OCU wanted to point out two models as the best purchase option. Starting with a cheap one (299 euros), given the average price of these products, the popular Roomba brand is the undoubted winner and for this reason its models have become so popular that they are generally recognized as a way of calling robot vacuum cleaners. .
Specifically, the , this device has a tank capacity of 0.55 liters, detects and brakes on stairs and has a virtual wall function to prevent them from passing where desired. Also with voice management, it is one of the models that charges faster (in 110 minutes). Against it, it has little ability to remove fibers in a carpet.
On the other hand, the OCU also highlights the , owned by Vorwerk (the company that produces the Thermomix). Somewhat more expensive, 899 euros, in its favor is that it is very effective in corners and walls, picks up and cleans carpets and can be used from your mobile. On the contrary, its autonomy is only 44 minutes, it takes 144 minutes to charge, and it does not stand out for its ease of use.
