Pros and Cons of Using a Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Home cleaning is a topic that concerns many house owners. The cleaning schedule of it is also something that has been on the mind of many dedicated home cleaners who just want to do a good job. And recent discoveries and inventions are constantly in motion, always managing somehow to throw a spanner in their works. One of the most recent fads in house maintenance is the robotic vacuum cleaner, the little circly fellow that spins about your house in search for dust mites to swallow. But how does that fit in your cleaning routine and how do you avoid disruptions in the schedule when you have this little helper?
The Pros of the Robot Vacuum
What is the best thing you can do for your home to keep it as clean as possible? Maintenance! And what is one of the best types of maintenance? Well, that would be the 15 minutes a day you should be spending with a vacuum cleaner in hand, doing dusting on the floors and some upholstery. This saves you the trouble of dealing with dust mites and other such pests that eventually cause respiratory problems. And what’s even better you can take out the 15 minutes a day and let the little Roomba take care of the cleaning for you. It can do all the dusting, all day long, and you don’t have to lift a single finger while enjoying all the benefits of a nice clean floor or carpet.
The Cons of the Robot Vacuum
But however useful a Roomba would be, it is still a mechanical advice which has its limits. The practical application of the robotic cleaner is basically a cleared out floor. It will hardly be able to overcome stairs, or even bigger crevasses in the carpet or rug. And then there is the wall corner problem – it is the Roomba’s kryptonite and it ever stays dirty if you only rely on the robot for the cleaning there. So it might help you with a hallway, but a living room, with all the obstacles it won’t do such a good job with. Whatever you let your Roomba do, you still have to think about its limitations. It can be useful, but you still have to work around it and finish what it started every now and then.
The Robot Vacuum Cleaner’s Place in Your Schedule
When you endeavour in house cleaning, leave the robot aside. Its job is to make the day less dusty and help you walk around a mostly clean floor. What you need to do with it is let it do its job during the week. And when time for a thorough cleaning arrives, let it rest and do the rest yourself. Actually, the robotic fellow does neither interfere, nor help your cleaning schedule – it’s simply there, moving about the house and collecting dust. The only way it affects it is that you will be required to do less floor cleaning since it did all that for you. So when you want to be an active home cleaner, set the small helper aside and go wild on the home.
The Roomba is a cute idea and the result is a cute little helper which you could find adorable as it floats about the house, sucking up all dust and scaring your cat. It makes for a cleaner home and less dust-related health problems, so owning one is more of a healthy solution than not. It has its practical side and you will be amused with such a small thing around your feet. Just watch your step.
