Does a robot vacuum cleaner clean carpets?

Robot vacuum cleaners enjoy the well-deserved love of consumers, as they greatly facilitate the work of cleaning the house. They have relatively low power and not all spaces are accessible to them, for example, between furniture and in corners. But despite this, a self-working vacuum cleaner is an excellent daily cleaning assistant.

After recharging, it can rid quite large rooms of dust - from 100 to 200 square meters. Perfectly cleans parquet, laminate, linoleum. But buyers still have doubts, the main one being whether it can clean the carpets of dust. Let’s say right away: they can, but not always! Let's look at this issue in more detail.

Device capabilities

If it is possible to purchase a variety of tools for cleaning the house (including carpets), then A robot vacuum cleaner will come in very handy.

Of course, it cannot replace a large vacuum cleaner with different types of brush attachments in performing all the work. And an ordinary broom and dustpan will sometimes turn out to be much more effective for cleaning up large debris. But a vacuum cleaner “on its own” is an excellent tool for daily cleaning of dust under the bed, carpeting and individual products.

The disadvantages that may interfere with cleaning work include the following.

• High pile from 3 cm (they will not rise on it).
• Inconvenient furniture and wires (the vacuum cleaner will be in an inoperative position).
• Unstable objects (floor vases, light shelves and stands, etc.) that he can easily knock over.

REFERENCE. The power of the robot vacuum cleaner allows you to suck in not only dust, sand, pet hair, hair, but also small objects: rings, Lego pieces, bones, etc.

The dust container of the device is very easy to clean, and the device is programmed for cleaning. Therefore, daily cleanliness of the apartment and carpet will be ensured even in the absence of the owners during the working day.

It is well suited for women with small children and the elderly. However, it cannot replace a full-fledged general cleaning and thorough cleaning of the carpet, especially in hard-to-reach places.
