No matter the bells and whistles, using an electric vacuum cleaner just feels supremely outdated. They are bulky to carry around, loud, and the whole rigmarole of not getting the power cord tangled feels like its own job. Thankfully, the growing array of robot vacuum cleaners entering the market offer an approach more aligned with our smart-everything era. You can activate the devices from your smartphone, set up a specific room or area to be cleaned, and ta-da, you’re done.
The crown jewels of these smart devices is certainly the Roborock line, which have a bevy of futuristic features. The automated robot vacuum cleaners can be scheduled to clean in advance and know exactly which areas to vacuum in and which not to based on no-go zones you specify in the app. Furthermore, select models pack a powerful one-two punch with dual vacuuming and mopping capabilities.
And even after all that, Roborock is still one step ahead of the game with their advanced features. After sitting back and watching my Roborock vacuum do all the work for me, BDG Studios came up with five reasons why you should break up with your push vacuum and embrace the next wave of futurist cleaning.
1. There’s no need to get up from your couch…
The future of cleaning is all about ease and convenience. That’s why Roborock cleaners can be activated by simple voice commands and cleanings can even be scheduled days in advance. These features come particularly in handy if you’re away on vacation or prefer to have your space cleaned while you’re away at work. (Or, if you’re like me, just super forgetful.) With Roborock, vacuuming and mopping can become a task you truly don’t have to think about. Which means more time for focusing on the things you love, which is the whole point of new technologies.
2. Roborock cleaners take their jobs very seriously…
Here’s the thing about robots: eventually, they become better than humans at doing tasks. Just look at the slew of computer programs able to easily best the top human chess players in the world. And Roborock cleaners only get better with time, as they develop multi room mappings and automatic room recognition. These HAL 9000-esque features allow the cleaners to become more efficient with each use, cleaning living spaces more thoroughly in less time. If that’s not impressive enough, the cleaners also have the ability to detect when they’re on carpeted surfaces and ramp up their suctioning power. Basically, Roborock cleaners are the vacuuming pros you’ll never be.
3. They use lasers (yes, lasers) to navigate your home
Lasers automatically have a cool factor about them. They have always played a major role in sci-fi — from a team of Russian scientists using lasers to shoot down approaching asteroids to soldier characters blasting off laser guns. Roborock’s employment of lasers is less end-of-the-world focused, but still very impressive. Their cleaners use laser navigation to map out rooms and avoid obstacles. This means you won’t have a device that’s constantly bumping into stuff or getting stuck in corners.
4. The sleek designs look fit for a spaceship — and your home
Aesthetics are one of the most important elements of a brave new world. What’s the point of having a bunch of cool stuff if it doesn’t look cool? Thankfully, Roborock cleaners — the S4 Max especially — come in compact, minimalist designs and are totally worthy of a snap for your internet feed. The Roborock S4 Max, which is dedicated exclusively to vacuuming, offers the sleekest design from the brand. Because hiding your eyesore of a vacuum in a storage closet is totally a thing of the past.
5. You can have total control from your phone
Our phones have become hubs for practically every aspect of our lives. So it’s cool that in-between texting your friends, checking your bank account, and shooting off a work email you can turn on your vacuum cleaner with just a few taps. The dedicated app for Roborock cleaners allows you to perform advanced functions like displaying a map of your home (which is mapped out by the cleaner the first time you turn it on) that allows you to partition off rooms for the vacuum to focus on and set up cleaning schedules. Also, Roborock is continually improving the app and beefing up functionalities. Which, in turn, makes the vacuum get better and better over time.
