If allergies are a concern, here's how to pick the right robot vacuum for you. A top feature to prioritize is the inclusion of HEPA filters, or similar filtration system. These are specially designed to capture even the smallest particles in your home. Alongside this, the suction power of the auto vacuum plays a role, allowing it to effectively pull in all the dust and allergens in your home.
Allergy sufferers are particularly beneficial with robot vacuums with mops. While all smart vacuums pick up dust, mopping ensure even the finest dust particles, which often trigger allergies, are collected.
Navigation is also important. Opt for robot vacuums that use advanced methods like LiDAR to map out rooms and avoid miss spots. The design and size of the vacuum matters, too. Dust tends to accumulate in hard-to-reach places, like under the sofa. A slim vacuum with a compact design will effortlessly fit under most furniture without getting stuck.
Regardless of which robot vacuum you pick, it is always recommended to perform regular maintenance. Over time, filters can become clogged, and regular replacement is required; pick a model where filter replacement is straightforward.
