Lifehacker and ILIFE talk about why a robot vacuum cleaner will change your life for the better.

1. You have a lot of hazardous dust at home

Scientists have found The ecology of microscopic life in household dust in ordinary house dust 2,000 species of molds, 7,000 species of bacteria and 45 Not Just Dirt: Toxic Chemicals in Indoor Dust from different classes. The dust irritates the eyes Health effects of dust, causes coughing, aggravates the symptoms of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases.

To avoid breathing bacteria, mold and chemicals, you need to clean up more often, but you won't do it every day. Unlike a robot vacuum cleaner.

It can work really long: from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the model. For example, the robot vacuum cleaner ILIFE A40 is cleaned without interruption within two hours due to the battery with a capacity of 2 600 mAh. And after three hours of recharging, it will be ready to fight dust again.

2. You don't have time for yourself

Five minutes to sweep, ten minutes to vacuum the carpet - if you do this every day, it’s almost two hours a week. This time can be spent on something more enjoyable.

The robot vacuum cleaner requires almost no maintenance. Even the trash can can not be changed every day. The containers of most of the newer models hold about 0.5 liters. If your robot does not have to clean up mountains of garbage, a volume of 450 ml, like the A40, will be enough for a week. Well, you can start it in a couple of seconds - with one click of a button.

3. You haven't cleaned carpets for a long time

To clean a carpet well, it is not enough to simply remove the dust. Hair, food particles, matted animal hair - all this gets clogged between the fibers of the carpet and requires a deeper cleaning.

But this is not a problem if the robot vacuum cleaner has enough resources. For cleaning carpets, models with a turbo brush, the ability to drive over obstacles, a battery with a capacity of more than 2,000 mAh and a high suction power are suitable. If the robot is weak, it simply cannot handle the carpet.

Additional brushes, like the A40, will not be superfluous. The V-shaped bristle brush in combination with the Nidec® brushless motor provides high suction power and deep cleaning of carpets. In addition, the A40 has an edge sensor on the left side of the case. Therefore, it cleans well not only the middle, but also the edges of the carpet, passing along them clockwise.

4. You have a child

You are watching a movie with the whole family, eating chips, and then someone knocks over the whole plate with one awkward movement. Little crumbs all over the carpet, the film is paused, and you crawl across the floor with a brush, cursing everything in the world. Sound familiar?

With a robotic vacuum cleaner, you don't have to scrub the carpet crumbs for a long time. Some models, including the A40, have a spot cleaning mode. You set the exact area for deep cleaning and continue watching your movie while the robot is cleaning. It is always easier to humor a situation when you know that the robot will clean up its consequences, and not yourself.

5. You hate cleaning the floor with a rag

There is an opinion that a robot vacuum cleaner is a pampering and it will never clean up as well as a good old rag. Perhaps this was the case with the first models: they constantly got stuck, fell, hung near the walls and could not clean the dust in the corners. In the latest models, these problems are solved with the help of sensors, special modes and more advanced brushes.

Sensors will prevent the vacuum cleaner from slipping, encountering a child's toy or a corner on the way. Modern robotic vacuum cleaners are not afraid even of stairs: cliff sensors prevent them from sliding down the stairs, so you don't have to put barriers for them.

When it comes to the quality of cleaning, vacuum cleaners pick up small debris and cat hair much better than a wet rag that just smears it all over the floor. Due to the suitable length, the brushes do not just sweep across the floor, dispersing dust, but press tightly and collect debris in an airtight container.

The ILIFE A40 has 10 optical sensors, and triple side brushes fight debris and dust.

6. You are afraid to look under the sofa

More dust accumulates under sofas and cupboards than in open spaces. Robot vacuums do it even better than a mop, and certainly much more often.

For such work, you need to choose a robot with a thin body. Usually robotic vacuum cleaners are already low: within 8-10 centimeters. But when they need to crawl under the closet and not get stuck there, every inch counts.

The A40 robot is only 7, 6 centimeters high - it will easily move under cabinets and sofas. And if the place is too narrow, a special anti-jam sensor will work.

7. Do you like your furniture

The legs and corners of furniture often suffer during cleaning: they can be touched by the pipe of a vacuum cleaner or spoiled with water from a wet rag. Robot vacuum cleaners treat furniture much more carefully. Sensors help them clean without bumping into furniture legs and cabinets. And in case this does happen, new models of robots are equipped with soft pads. On the front of the A40, there are 4mm thick soft rubber pads. So, even if the robot touches your furniture with the body, no traces will remain on any of the participants in the incident.

8. Your cat is bored

The robot vacuum cleaner will not harm your pet, even if he fell asleep on the floor in the middle of the room. But it may well diversify his leisure time. And you will laugh when the cat is hunting or riding a vacuum cleaner.

9. You just have no time to clean up. Or laziness

Probably the main advantage of robotic vacuum cleaners is that you are freed from cleaning, and your apartment does not turn into a dusty crypt. The vacuum cleaner cleans up when you are at work, when you leave for the whole weekend, or when you go on a trip, when you are sick or just so tired that you don’t think about cleaning.

Came home from work, pressed a button - the robot began to clean up, and you can rest. Robot vacuum cleaners work almost silently and will not interfere with your watching TV or taking a nap.

If you want to always come to a clean house after work or an active weekend, choose a robot with a cleaning function according to a plan, like the LIFE A40: you set a cleaning cycle, and the vacuum cleaner works when you are not at home.

10. You have always dreamed of having your own robot

Most people don't even think about a robot vacuum cleaner, considering it an expensive toy. Five years ago, robots really cost space money, but now the situation has changed. Due to the great competition, new robots with capacious batteries, different modes and a bunch of sensors have become more affordable. Here's what to look for when choosing a robot vacuum cleaner:

• Battery capacity. The more mAh, the longer the vacuum cleaner will take away.
• Charging time. Vacuum cleaners usually charge in 5-12 hours depending on the model.
• Vacuum cleaner height. The higher the vacuum cleaner, the less chance it has to crawl under the sofa and not get stuck.
• The presence of sensors. See how many collision and breakage sensors your vacuum cleaner has.
• Suction power. A vacuum cleaner with a power below 45 W is unlikely to be able to clean a carpet.

The A40 robot vacuum cleaner is not inferior in characteristics to competitors, but it costs much less - 8 840 rubles. It will save you time and hassle. Order your vacuum cleaner through official sales channels to be eligible for warranty service.
