Frequently Asked Questions

How does a robot vacuum find the charger?

The docking stations of self-charging robot vacuums emit an infrared signal. When the battery is about to die, the vacuum starts looking for this signal. When the robot finds it, it follows the signal back to its station to charge.

How much dust can a robot vacuum hold?

No matter the model of robot vacuum you buy and no matter the price, the basic dust capacity is rather low. You will need to empty it more frequently than your regular vacuum cleaner. The most sophisticated models do have a self-emptying feature, which enables them to empty themselves into a larger bin at the docking station.

How do you change the cleaning solution or water on a robotic vacuum that mops floors?

To change the cleaning solution or water on a robotic vacuum that mops floors, first power off the vacuum and unplug it from the power source. Then, carefully remove the water tank and pour out any remaining solution or water. Next, add the desired new solution or water to the tank and reinstall it on the vacuum. Finally, plug the vacuum back in and power it on.

Can you use a robotic vacuum to spot clean specific areas?

Yes, you can use a robotic vacuum to spot clean specific areas. Many robotic vacuums are equipped with laser-detection systems that allow them to sense where dirt and debris are located. This allows them to be programmed to clean specific areas more thoroughly.
