Conquer Every Level: Robot Vacuums for Multiple Floors

2023-04-09
More and more people are choosing to live in multi-floor houses because these homes are usually spacious, well-lit, and suitable as standalone dwellings, often away from the noise. However, the ample living space means daily cleaning tasks can be time-consuming and strenuous, especially for busy professionals who need more energy to clean large buildings after work. Hiring a professional cleaning company for regular cleaning can be too expensive. For those living in multi-floor buildings, robot vacuum cleaners can significantly ease the pressure of daily cleaning.

Robot vacuums are designed to tackle a range of floor types, including hardwood, carpet, and tiles, making them versatile cleaning tools that can be used in different rooms and on different levels of your home. However, not all robot vacuums are equal, and choosing one that suits your needs and home layout is essential. In this blog post, we'll explore the factors to consider when choosing the best robot vacuum for multiple floors and how to use them effectively to keep your home clean and tidy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Robot Vacuum for Multiple Floors


Suction Power and Performance: When choosing a robot vacuum for multiple floors, it's essential to consider the suction power and performance of the vacuum. Multi-level homes may require more powerful suction to clean carpets and hard floors on different levels effectively.

Battery Life and Runtime: Battery life and runtime are essential factors to consider when choosing a robot vacuum for multiple floors. The longer the battery life and runtime, the more time the vacuum can spend cleaning each floor without needing to be recharged.

Cliff Sensor: Currently, robot vacuums cannot automatically go up and down stairs. To ensure the safety of your robot vacuum when running near stairs, it is recommended to purchase a robot vacuum with intelligent anti-drop technology. Good robot vacuums are equipped with anti-drop sensors on the bottom of the machine, which provides complete protection for the robot and eliminates any concerns of it falling and breaking. Anti-drop sensors use ultrasonic waves to measure distance. When the robot vacuum approaches the edge of a step, the anti-drop sensors use ultrasonic waves to measure the distance between the robot and the ground. If the length exceeds a set value, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, which then sends a command to change the robot's direction, thus preventing it from falling.

Navigation and Multi-Floor Mapping Capabilities: Robot vacuums with advanced navigation and mapping capabilities can navigate and clean multi-level homes more efficiently. These features allow the robot vacuum to map out the layout of each level of the house, creating a cleaning path that covers every inch of the floor. The robot vacuum with multi-floor mapping capability can save more than one map, making the floor cleaning robot more convenient.

Compatibility with Smart Home Systems: Some robot vacuums are compatible with intelligent home systems, allowing homeowners to control the void with their voice or through an app. This feature is handy for multi-level homes, as it will enable homeowners to control the vacuum on different floors without needing to move it physically.

Designated Cleaning Zones: Some robot vacuums have designated cleaning zones that allow homeowners to set specific areas for the vacuum to clean. This feature is helpful for multi-level homes, as it will enable homeowners to create different cleaning zones for each level of their homes.
Scheduled Cleaning Times: Scheduling cleaning times can be helpful for busy homeowners who want their robot vacuum cleaned at specific times. This feature is handy for multi-level homes, as it allows homeowners to set different cleaning schedules for each level of their homes.

Maintenance and Cleaning: It's essential to consider the maintenance and cleaning requirements of a robot vacuum before purchasing one for a multi-level home. Some robot vacuums have more complex cleaning and maintenance requirements, while others are simpler and more user-friendly.
 

How to Use DEEBOT Robot Vacuum on Multiple Floors


If you have a DEEBOT robot vacuum and you want to use it on multiple floors, you can follow these steps:
 
  • Keep floors clear of clutter and obstacles: This is a crucial step to ensure that your robot vacuum can effectively clean your floors. Before running your robot vacuum, make sure to pick up any small items or objects that may be on the floor, such as toys, shoes, or cords. Also, remove any large or heavy objects that may obstruct the robot vacuum's path, such as furniture or rugs. This will not only help your robot vacuum clean more efficiently, but it will also help prevent it from getting stuck or damaging any objects on the floor.
 
  • Create maps for each floor: DEEBOT robot vacuum has multi-floor mapping capabilities; you'll need to create a map for each floor before your first cleaning. DEEBOT can save at most three fixed maps plus one new temporary map. Every time you clean your multi-floors, you don't have to rebuild the map. You only need to enable the multi-floor map function to manage the multi-floor maps. Then move the DEEBOT to a room where the map has been saved for cleaning, and the DEEBOT will trigger the relocation. After the relocation is successful, DEEBOT will automatically switch to the corresponding map.
 
  • Set up virtual boundaries: If there are areas on each floor that you don't want the DEEBOT robot vacuum to clean, you can set up virtual boundaries using your robot vacuum's app or remote control.
 
  • Set a schedule: Once you've set up maps and virtual boundaries for each floor, you can set a cleaning schedule for each floor in your DEEBOT robot vacuum's app. Make sure the schedule is separate from floors.
