What Else Can Robot Vacuum Cleaners Do? 3 Unusual Features

Greetings to all readers of the site robovac.washerhouse.comThis article will discuss unusual ways to use a robot vacuum cleaner around the home. Of course, most robot vacuum cleaners can vacuum and mop simultaneously, navigate large areas, and even navigate specific zones you set yourself. But what else can robot vacuum cleaners do, and how can they be used for unusual purposes? That's what we'll discuss now.

Home surveillance

The first unique feature is an active home monitoring camera. There are already dozens of robots, both budget and premium, equipped with an active camera. You can connect to it to remotely monitor your home from work or while on vacation.

What's this good for? Camera connection mode allows you to check on your pet, make sure you've turned off the iron if you're unsure, and even look for intruders and take a photo if your neighbors report hearing noise while you're away. Some robots are also equipped with a speaker, allowing you to communicate remotely, in addition to an active camera.

Among the current models with an active camera, I would like to highlight Midea VCR08, Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 and very soon this feature will appear in the new Roborock S6 MaxV.

The active camera itself is not an important criterion for choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, but you should know that this feature is available in some models and it expands the capabilities of the robot vacuum cleaner.

An effective alarm clock

If waking up is a problem for you, a robot vacuum cleaner can help you avoid ignoring your alarm. It's very simple. Some models with precise lidar- or camera-based navigation can be configured to clean a specific room on a scheduled basis. So, you can set your robot vacuum to clean your bedroom every weekday, for example, at 6:30 AM.

Although robot vacuums are quieter than regular vacuums, they still produce a fair amount of noise. A robot will clean a room of about 10 square meters in about 10 minutes. You'll likely wake up in that time, unless you close the bedroom door the night before or turn off the scheduled cleaning.

Disinfection of premises

And the last unusual opportunity is disinfection of premises. This is a pressing issue today, given the current global situation. So, the company Trunk, suggests using their window and floor cleaners to disinfect and sanitize the premises.

This is possible because Hobot robotic vacuum cleaners automatically spray liquid onto the surface during the cleaning process.

Window cleaning robot Hobot R3:

The company conducted a series of tests with robotic cleaners and disinfectants recommended by Rospotrebnadzor to prevent malfunctions.

As a result, the following are acceptable for collaboration with robots:

1. A solution of chlorine liquid bleach (without additives or fragrances), diluted in a ratio of 1 part bleach to 100 parts distilled water.
2. Ethyl alcohol 60-70 degrees.

In principle, if you have pets, such a preventative measure will not be superfluous at any time. This economically (1 liter of solution is enough to treat an area of ​​up to 500 sq.m.) and safely (avoid direct contact of your hands with the disinfectant).

The company recommends conducting a preliminary test on a small area to determine the reaction of your floor surface with the disinfectant and avoid leaving any disinfectant residue in the tank for extended periods. After cleaning, rinse the tank and fill it with distilled water, replace the wipes, and restart the cleaning cycle. This will remove any residual disinfectant from the LEGEE system and rinse the treated surface. Don't forget to ventilate the area!

So, we've looked at three unusual features of robot vacuum cleaners. I'd appreciate it if you let me know in the comments whether this information is useful to you and whether it's worth publishing similar articles. Thank you all for your attention!
