We all adore our pets, but shedding can be a major pain. An additional member of the family, no matter how small and cute, always means extra work. In that case, you might want to consider investing in a robot vacuum that can do a daily sweep for you.
There's no shortage of models on the market, but finding one that works well, offers the features you want, and fits within your budget can be a bit of a challenge.
In this write-up, Electrolux Korea will guide you through a deeper look at five things to consider before buying a robot vacuum for cat owners.
1. House conditions
Your living conditions will likely have impact on the decision of what type of cat-friendly robot vacuum you should purchase.
Different homes and lifestyles will benefit from different types of cleaners. Pondering what you need and take a close look at some conditions of your house including house structure, house size, and type of floor…will come down to the most proper decision-making.
2. Sensor feature
It’s rare for a room to be completely empty with your small buddy running around, so a robot that can safely navigate your home in its cluttered, lived-in glory is essential. Thus, sensor feature is key factor into a decision-making of choosing a robot vacuum for home with cats.
Many robot vacuums are equipped with a series of sensors such as dust sensor, obstacle detection, floor detection, and 3D sensor. Sensor feature helps stop the cleaner from bumping into any furniture, people, or animals (particularly your lovely kitty) it encounters, which in turn also protects the robot vacuum itself from possible damages.
Other sophisticated models will map out a room using laser-guided scanners or a combination of cameras and sensors.
For example, our Electrolux robot vacuum PI92-6DGM introduces 3D Vision System, which can scan the room to accurately steer clear of obstacles without getting stuck or stranded. When combined with the 3D mapping navigation, cleaning is carried out in a structured and efficient manner to avoiding covering the same area multiple times.
