คู่มือการเลือกหุ่นยนต์ดูดฝุ่นที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับบ้านของคุณ

Today, buying a robot vacuum can feel like walking through a maze, as there are many models with different advertised functions that make it hard to choose. But don't worry, we are here to help guide you through the steps to choosing a robot vacuum that is perfect for your home.

Cleaning Performance

1. Suction Power

The suction power of a robot vacuum, measured in Pascals (Pa), determines its ability to effectively collect dirt, dust, and debris. Generally, higher suction power means more powerful dust collection and cleaning capabilities. Dust collection rate is the ability to actually pick up dirt, and it is recommended to choose a robot vacuum with a rate of 95% or higher.

In addition, balancing suction power, battery life, and noise levels is also important. Generally, higher suction power drains the battery faster and is louder. If you want a quieter cleaning experience, pay attention to noise levels not exceeding 65 decibels.

The Tapo RV Max Series robot vacuums come with a powerful 5,300 Pa suction, suitable for many types of floors and significantly higher than the market average of 2,000–3,000 Pa. With DeepVac™ technology that features a redesigned air inlet, improved main brush, and air ducts, it achieves a dust collection rate of over 97%, ensuring smooth airflow without clogging. Despite the maximum suction power of 5,300 Pa, the noise level in quiet mode is only 52 decibels, significantly reducing annoyance to people and pets during operation.

2. Auto-Empty Capability

The auto-empty function is a game-changer because the auto-empty base can suck dirt out of the robot vacuum’s dustbin itself after cleaning is finished, keeping your hands clean. It generally comes with a 3-liter, 4-liter, or larger dust bag. All you have to do is change the bag when full, typically about once a month, which also helps contain allergens at all times.

The Tapo RV Max Plus comes with an intelligent auto-empty base with a high suction power of up to 17,000 Pa, achieving an automatic dirt removal rate of up to 95%#. Dust is kept out of sight for up to 2 months# with a 3-liter, tightly sealed disposable dust bag.

3. Mopping Function

Most robot vacuums come with a mopping function, but not all perform equally well. You should choose a mopping robot vacuum that can remove dried-on stains like soy sauce and ketchup, as well as wipe up spilled water without getting itself dirty. Consider an automatic robot vacuum with a mopping function; not only does it save time, but mopping also helps pick up small particles that may trigger allergies.

The Tapo RV Max Plus has three water release levels to choose from based on floor type, along with consistent water pressure, leaving hard floors cleaner than traditional mopping with constant water flow. It can effectively remove dried-on liquid stains and spills like soy sauce.

4. Filtration System

An efficient HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is crucial for creating a clean living environment inside your home. It can capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including common allergens, helping to purify the air and keep surfaces clean. If you want maximum cleaning efficiency, pay attention to the filter inside the dust bin.

Intelligence

1. Mapping and Navigation

Mapping and navigation technology is like the eyes and brain of a robot vacuum. It determines how smoothly and efficiently the robot moves and maps your home. Robot vacuums with mapping and navigation technology can create a detailed layout of your home, including rooms, furniture, and obstacles, allowing you to command the robot to clean specific rooms or zones instead of the entire house, ensuring efficient cleaning without missing spots.

The Tapo RV Max Series uses the Mesh Grid™ system to automatically explore and clean your home in orderly rows, providing more comprehensive and thorough cleaning and effectively preventing missed spots. The Tapo RV30 Max Series uses LiDAR and IMU navigation to map every square inch of your home, detecting small obstacles with high precision, and works well even in the dark. The Tapo RV20 Max Series comes with MagSlim LiDAR navigation that uses a mini-dToF LiDAR sensor embedded within the robot for mapping and navigation, allowing the robot to reach under low cabinets and beds to clean hard-to-access areas.

2. Obstacle Crossing

Door thresholds or door tracks are common in homes. If the robot vacuum cannot cross them, cleaning will be limited to a small area instead of the whole house. Threshold heights can range from 6 mm to over 25 mm, so check the obstacle-crossing capability when selecting a robot vacuum.

Most robot vacuums can only cross thresholds up to 20 mm, but the Tapo RV Max Series can cross thresholds as high as 22 mm, outperforming most robot vacuums on the market.

3. Obstacle Avoidance

What is the point of a powerful robot vacuum if it gets stuck or frequently bumps into furniture? Obstacle avoidance capability is one of the factors indicating a robot vacuum's intelligence. Robot vacuums with intelligent obstacle avoidance systems can navigate around furniture, walls, and other obstacles efficiently and smartly, ensuring thorough and effective cleaning. From traditional LiDAR, line laser, 3D ToF, to visual-based avoidance, choose the one that suits your budget and needs.

Convenience

1. Customized Cleaning and Scheduling

If you want a truly customized experience, look for robot vacuums with smart functions and personalized settings to fully free your hands and mind.

• Personalized Scheduling: Scheduling allows you to sync your robot vacuum's routine with your daily habits. It can automatically start cleaning after you finish eating or leave the house, so you don't have to think about daily cleaning.
• Virtual Walls, No-Go Zones, and Carpet Zones: Define areas you don't want the robot vacuum to enter, such as a children's play area or a bedroom currently in use. This is crucial if your home has fragile items or areas where the robot vacuum frequently gets stuck.
• Multi-Floor Cleaning: Recognize each floor accurately and faster with multiple maps stored in the device; no need to switch maps manually.
• Selective Room Cleaning: Assign specific areas for the robot vacuum to clean. You can customize different vacuuming modes, mopping modes, and cleaning schedules for each room. Customizing cleaning to suit your needs significantly increases efficiency.
• Furniture Spot Cleaning: Simply tap on a piece of furniture on the map to quickly start cleaning the area around it.

2. User-Friendly App and Voice Control

A good app makes it easy to connect your robot vacuum to Wi-Fi, create a home map, add virtual walls or carpet zones, set schedules, or configure cleaning settings for each room. You gain better control and management of your robot vacuum with an intuitive app. For the Tapo RV Max Series, you can even view a 3D floor plan of your rooms and furniture in an instant. Intelligent algorithms allow you to control devices throughout your home with just one tap!*

If you have Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can pair it to control your robot vacuum with simple voice commands. A set of custom skills for Alexa is specifically designed to make it easy for users to control how and when cleaning starts. Enjoy hands-free living.

3. Care and Maintenance

To maintain peak performance, you will need to regularly clean and replace parts of the robot vacuum. It is important to ensure that spare parts are available and that you can access good customer support in case the robot vacuum has serious issues.

Robot vacuums excel at keeping your home free of dust and pet hair. To choose the best one, focus on cleaning performance, intelligence, and convenient functions. Look for models with powerful suction, cutting-edge mapping and navigation systems, and smart features like auto-empty and scheduling. By considering these key factors, you will find an ideal robot vacuum that meets your needs and fits perfectly into your daily routine.
