What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A quality robot vacuum will keep you on top of pet hair, lint, and dust on a daily basis. Many robot vacuums work with apps that allow you to schedule cleaning sessions. You can also set virtual boundaries or 'walls,' to ensure that the vacuum is kept away from areas you don't want cleaned.

Other models, like the iRobot Roomba j7+, have more sophisticated AI obstacle avoidance, which uses cameras and processor-powered smarts to see and avoid items like lamp cords, shoes, socks, and pet waste.

Robots that are more advanced can develop their own maps and keep track of the arrangement of your home from one cleaning session to the next, preventing them from getting lost or stuck.

App Control
