Read MoreTo change the bag or dustbin on a bagged robotic vacuum, you first need to locate the dustbin or bag. Depending on the type and model of the robotic vacuum, this may be accessed by pressing a button, pulling a lever, or removing a latch on the side of the unit. Once the dustbin or bag is removed, you can replace it with a new dustbin or bag.
High end models can have up to 180 minutes of battery life, which is plenty to clean an entire floor. When the battery does find itself empty, this isn't a problem for the more sophisticated robot cleaners, as they are equipped with a docking station they automatically return to when their battery is about to die. Once fully recharged, the robot will continue cleaning where it left off. Cheaper bots will need to plugged in to recharge.
The steps for setting up a robotic vacuum for the first time will vary depending on the specific model, so it is important to refer to the user manual for the correct instructions. Generally, the steps are as follows: 1. Place the charging dock in the area you want cleaned and plug it into an outlet. 2. Place the robotic vacuum on the charging dock and make sure it is connected properly. 3. Turn on the power switch on the vacuum and read the instructions on the display. 4. Follow the instructions to program the robotic vacuum, including setting a cleaning schedule, configuring cleaning modes and areas, and mapping the area. 5. Once the setup is complete, press the start button and let the robotic vacuum begin its cleaning cycle.
It is not recommended to use a robotic vacuum on shag carpets or high-pile carpets. Robotic vacuums are designed for low-pile carpets or bare floors. The brushes on a robotic vacuum may get tangled in the fibers of a shag carpet or high-pile carpet and cause damage.
