Notes on Robot Vacuums
So we’ve been thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner ever since we moved to a bigger 1 BHK apartment in Abu Dhabi. We have a decently sized hall with lots of empty space, and cleaning is a hassle. I work from home while my wife goes to the office, so home is my workspace and I love a tidy environment. But the reality is that I don’t enjoy the cleaning part. With construction going on nearby and the dusty weather in the UAE, the house needs sweeping at least every two days, plus there’s the amount of hair my wife sheds (I’m bald, so it’s definitely not mine!). Long story short, we need a robot vacuum and don’t mind doing occasional deep cleaning. We don’t have pets or kids, so something mid-range or budget-friendly would work for us.
When I started searching for robot vacuums, I was overwhelmed by the plethora of options and confusing naming conventions. I’m no expert, but the folks at r/RobotVacuums were incredibly helpful during my research. Think of this guide as notes or lessons I learned during the process - most are probably obvious to seasoned users. If you find any mistakes or outdated information, please comment or reach out, and I’ll keep updating this post.
