Smart Mapping

Utilizing navigation tools such as sensors and lasers, robot vacuum cleaners work their way through your home, sucking pet hair, crumbs and dirt into their bins from hard floors such as laminate, wood, and tile and low-pile carpets and area rugs. The most sophisticated robots can map your house, so that they can remember where they have been and avoid hitting obstacles like chairs, sofas and bookshelves you might want to keep out of the way. You can also set up no-go areas using your smartphone to alert your robot to avoid areas you don't want it to clean.

It does have some disadvantages when compared to the Roomba S8 and J7.

It is very maneuverable and can reach places that the majority of stand-up vacuums are unable to, such as under beds and couches. It comes with a 500-ml dustbin, great suction and a time of over two hours. However, it lacks the ability to create no-go zones in the app and its detection of objects is a bit hit-or-miss which means that we saw it bump into things occasionally during our tests (resulting in a few tipped vases).

This allows them to resume the same place they left off if they have to return to the charging dock.

Self-Emptying

A vacuum cleaner that automatically empties its bins of dust once it is full is a great benefit. Some models even have windows so you can see when the bin has to be empty. This is a great feature for those who have pets or children, who tend to make a lot more mess than adults.
