Choosing the right Robot vacuum cleaner is no different then any other purchase. You need to:
There are many brands of robot vacuum cleaners such as the and Infinuvo CleanMate Robot Vacuums, and other generic brands. Allow me run you through a little market research.
Assess Your Needs...Some Questions To Ask Yourself
Fundamentally, it's the surface area to be covered that will steer a customer to a specific brand and model. Here are a few questions you might ask yourself:
How many rooms are to be covered by the robot vacuum cleaner?
To answer this question your best bet is to refer to our robot vacuum cleaner comparison chart made available through our support center (see website address below). You may also direct your attention to product specifications provided by the manufacturer.
Are these surfaces or rooms separated by stairways?
Unfortunately, Roomba and Infinuvo CleanMate vacuum cleaners are not designed to manage their way through stairways. If you wish to have a robot vacuum clean all your surfaces, you will have to plan for a robot per floor. You can always carry it from level to level if you wish.
Do you expect your robot vacuum cleaner to manage itself following a preset schedule? Perhaps you don't mind it running when started manually?
IRobot models Roomba 560, 570 and 580 are designed with onboard scheduling capability. Some of the Discovery Series models Roomba 415, and Roomba Red, , are scheduling capable through a remote control. The remote is sold separately. Infinuvo CleanMate vacuums do not have scheduling capabilities.
Roomba vacuum cleaner shoppers, will you be needing the virtual wall and/or lighthouse technology?
You may want to refer to our comparison chart for this issue. The rule of thumb suggests planning for a virtual wall at every doorway or access to off limits areas of the property. Otherwise, virtual walls can easily be moved around if you wish to avoid extra expenses.
Lighthouses will contribute to your robot's efficiency by improving room to room cleaning. These units should preferably be accounted for when choosing your robot vacuum. Especially if you plan to have your robot vacuum run on a schedule while away. Once again refer to our robot vacuum cleaner comparison chart to determine your needs. Your property's or office's architecture will have to be taken into account when looking up this option. In doubt, refer to our Support Center or Forum, where a specialist will be happy to provide you with good support.
Is odour removal an important feature to you?
If so, Infinuvo CleanMate robot vacuums are designed with odour removal and UV light disinfection devices.
Do you need to wash your floors?
If so, look up for a Scooba floor washing robot for or a Roomba and Scooba combo kit.
Set Your Budget
This part mainly belongs to you and your ability to save money for future investments such as Robot product(s) of your choice, car, travel, clothes and so on.
Expect to pay a minimum of $200 for a Robot vacuum cleaner, depending on your desired product efficiency. It's no different than cars, as you move from the GL to the LX and on to the SI the price rises and so does your comfort and peace of mind!
Respect your budget, yet don't loose sight of your needs!
Do your SWOT analysis: See What's Out There
You will notice there are many brands and models. Within these, you will also observe you can get a standard robot vacuum cleaner to a fully loaded model that literally takes a bite out of house cleaning! Roomba and Infinuvo CleanMate are the two brands we carry and trust most. Perhaps it would be best to refer you to our comprehensive robot vacuum cleaner comparison chart.
It is recommended to be cautious when shopping for generic or less popular brands of robot vacuums. The price is slightly lower. They usually do have a similar look on the outside but unlike the fashionable style, things under the hood are perhaps not as reliable. If you do choose to steer to generic brands, make sure you get a few testimonials from current users and look up the warranty conditions provided by the store and the manufacturer. You know, the fine print!
Investigate Market Prices, warranty and ongoing customer service after your purchase
Some retailers will sell a product for a set price and others will provide the exact same model for a higher price. Bare in mind that price isn't everything! Look at product warranty and customer service or support. In many cases a $20 price difference will be worth great support and a reliable extended warranty.
Your shopping experience is another good clue. When shopping online, did you find the information was available or hard to find? Look at what other customers have to say. If you have questions about the product or the company, take a minute to write to the customer or support center. It's really a great way to test drive customer care by keeping an eye on response time and the quality of the information you receive.
Make an Educated Decision
Now that you have gathered a lot of intelligence, it is time to call upon your free will.
You have:
