Summary
Robot vacuums have improved in recent years and offer convenience in cleaning homes. However, they have less power and flexibility compared to traditional vacuums, and their dustbins are smaller. When purchasing a robot vacuum, it is important to consider factors such as WiFi connectivity and suction power.

Fact

🤖 Robot vacuums are semi-autonomous and only require interaction to turn on, empty dustbins, or untangle them when stuck.

🔌 WiFi connectivity is a key feature in most robot vacuums and allows control via a mobile app.

💪 Higher suction power in robot vacuums will do a better job cleaning carpets, while some machines have a “max” mode which increases suction power.
