As a pet owner, you probably already know that cleaning your home is crucial for maintaining a healthy and pleasant environment for all family members, including your furry friends. Robot vacuums are an excellent solution for efficient and easy maintenance of cleanliness, saving you time and effort, while ensuring top-notch results.

In this article, we will highlight the key features you should consider when choosing a robot vacuum to ensure your home is cleaned as effectively as possible, especially if you have pets whose hair requires extra attention.

Roborock robot vacuums are known for their power, technology, and functionality, placing them among the best on the market.

• Suction power, measured in “Pa” units, is one of the most important features of robot vacuums, as it reveals the suction strength of a particular model. For comparison, traditional electric vacuums have about 20,000Pa suction power, while the best robot vacuums currently offer around 2,800Pa. Although this difference may seem significant at first glance, keep in mind that robot vacuums move much slower, causing less dust to be raised, and are assisted by side brushes and a main brush. Therefore, in practice, despite the lower suction power, the robot vacuum is more effective. For optimal home cleaning efficiency, we recommend models with 2200Pa or higher. This power will be sufficient for both smooth surfaces (wood floors, laminate, tiles, vinyl) and carpets.
• Path planning and navigation algorithms are another crucial feature that directly impacts the speed and effectiveness of cleaning. The best models on the market use the S.L.A.M. algorithm in combination with LDS (laser distance sensor) sensors, which precisely and efficiently calculate movement throughout the space, ultimately leading to the fastest and most effective cleaning. Built-in sensors also help with obstacle recognition, route planning, and alerting to any issues in the space or with the vacuum itself. The best models come with over 10 different sensors for optimal performance.
• Functionality and features of robot vacuums provide insight into how we can use them. Higher-end models, in addition to traditional floor cleaning, also allow wet mopping, which is extremely useful as it can largely replace the traditional method of floor cleaning with rags. Some models even automatically detect carpets (S7) and increase suction power for optimal results. With some robot vacuums, we can also electronically control water usage for wet cleaning, and they may allow us to define specific areas for cleaning, set cleaning sequences, and restrict zones where we don't want the vacuum to operate.

• Additional accessories and consumables are also very important. Some models come with additional accessories and consumables included in the package, such as brushes, filters, mop cloths, etc., allowing you to use them for up to 2 years without worry. When it comes to consumables, it's important to ensure they are available at a low price and are easily accessible. We must also check that the spare parts are compatible with our robot vacuum. A particularly important feature is the HEPA filter, available on all Roborock models, which ensures long life with easy and quick cleaning and can be easily washed.
• Overcoming obstacles is another important feature, especially when we have high thresholds between different rooms in the house or apartment. All Roborock robot vacuums can overcome obstacles up to a maximum height of 2 cm, which is more than sufficient for most room transitions. If the height difference is greater than 2 cm, it will be necessary to place a small ramp before the threshold to enable the vacuum to move between spaces.
• The battery of the robot vacuum is important in terms of operation, which can affect the cleaning speed as well. Roborock robot vacuums can clean areas up to 320m2 in size, and if the vacuum detects it won’t be able to finish the cleaning, it will return to recharge and top up the battery only as much as needed to complete the job.
• The mobile app is now a major factor in the user experience, offering a multitude of additional features that can elevate the robot vacuum to the next level. Through the app, you can monitor the vacuum's operation, status, and statistics, control it, adjust suction power, cleaning modes, set cleaning schedules, manage maps, designate areas, set cleaning and no-go zones, and take care of advanced settings. Roborock is proud to have an extremely user-friendly app, available for both iOS and Android phones or tablets.
