Robot vacuums can be better than standard vacs at cleaning hard-to-reach spots such as under the bed or sofa. This makes them useful for people who have mobility issues or if you just don't want to spend your time lifting or moving heavy furniture to clean the floor underneath.

One of the biggest downsides of robot vacuums and other battery-operated cleaners is that they can run out of charge in the middle of a cleaning session. This can be extremely inconvenient, as you have to wait for a while for the battery to charge-up again before you can continue the task.

Most owners believe that running their robot vacuums four times per week is sufficient to keep the floors dust-free. However, if you have children or pets, you should use your robot vacuum more frequently. Daily vacuuming is recommended if you suffer from seasonal allergies.

All Roombas are equipped with cliff sensors on the underside which detect if it's near a ledge, stair or any other drop off. Roomba will back safely away, every time.

Roomba® uses Dirt Detect™ Technology that allows it to focus its cleaning effort in dirtier areas. When your robot finds more dirt than usual concentrated in one (1) area, it will activate Dirt Detect™ and work harder to clean the same area until the sensors detect fewer dirt particles in that particular area.

Since they're smaller than regular vacuums, robot vacuums can't hold as much dust and debris and must be emptied regularly. “Due to their compact size, robot vacuums typically have smaller dustbins, meaning they may need more frequent emptying, especially in homes with pets or high traffic,” Rubin says.
