3. How do mopping robots work?
Pure mopping robots don't only mop your floors automatically. They are full of modern technology to make your life as easy as possible. In the following, we would like to introduce you to some interesting features of mopping robots.
3.1 Thorough mopping
Floor mopping robots can thoroughly mop your floors and do the work that you don't want to do.
Thanks to the adjustable amount of water, they are suitable for all hard floors, from tiles to PVC and parquet to laminate. Since they absorb their mopping water again, moisture-sensitive floors dry quickly and do not swell.
With practical cleaning functions such as the spot function, stubborn and dried-in stains can also be removed. For hygienically clean floors.
3.2 Navigation and sensors
Mopping robots are equipped with many sensors to help you find your way around your home and navigate. They won't get lost mopping or damage your furniture.
Pure mopping robots like the ZACO W450 have precise 360° PanoView camera navigation with gyroscope sensors. This is how the floor cleaning robot finds its way through your home the smart way.
3.3 Collision avoidance and fall protection
Additional sensors (anti-shock / fall protection, infrared (OBS)) protect your furniture from possible damage from touches and collisions. These sensors are also used to avoid obstacles and collisions, carpet avoidance, etc.
3.4 Simple control with remote, app or voice command
You can control your mopping robot the way you like it best. There are many convenient options:
Of course, you can control your mopping robot directly using push buttons on the mopping robot. Nothing needs to be programmed for this, just start and the robot will drive and mop your floors until it is switched off again.
Operation with a remote control is also possible. In this way, many additional settings can be made comfortably from the sofa.
The pure mopping robot ZACO W450 can also be conveniently operated via the "ZACOHome" app and integrated into the smart home. Even more cleaning cycles and individual cleaning plans can be adjusted via the app.
In addition to app control, voice commands provide even more convenience. Modern floor cleaning robots are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
3.5 What is the advantage of pure mopping robots?
Pure mopping robots are becoming increasingly rare. Combined vacuum and mopping robots that vacuum and mop at the same time are much more common on the market.
The type of robot vacuum you choose should depend on the floor type in your home:
If your apartment or house has both hard floors (laminate, parquet or tiles) and carpets, a combined vacuuming and mopping robot model might be beneficial.
If you have only hard floors, a pure mopping robot can often be the better choice. A big advantage, as with the W450, is separate tanks for fresh water and dirty water. So the floor is always hygienically cleaned with fresh water.
4. Buy a floor mopping robot: which one is the best?
The "best mopping robot" is the one that best suits your needs and your home. You should therefore pay attention to a few criteria when buying a mopping robot and ask yourself what you value most:
4.1 Robot mop, robot vacuum or vacuuming and mopping robot?
This question can only be answered individually with your requirements and wishes for the robot. If you only need a robot that vacuums dust and crumbs in everyday life, a robot vacuum without a mopping function would probably be the best option the best choice.
If you have both hard floors and carpets in your home, a robot vacuum with mopping function ( vacuuming and mopping robot) can be a good option. So you can mop your floors and have your carpets vacuumed at the same time. You can often also thoroughly remove stubborn dirt by mopping.
With only hard floors in the area to be cleaned, a pure mopping robot is often recommended. With additional features such as separate tanks for fresh water and dirty water and a spot cleaning function, hygienic and thorough cleaning is guaranteed.
4.2 Battery life or cleaning time
Especially in larger apartments, attention should be paid to a sufficiently long battery life or cleaning time.
The ZACO W450 offers a battery life of 80 minutes, so that even large apartments can be mopped without any problems which he can handle up to 60 square meters of cleaning area.
Particularly practical: It automatically returns to its charging station as soon as the battery charge level falls below a certain value. So your mopping robot is always ready for use and you don't have to worry about charging the batteries.
4.3 Carpet detection is a must
An important feature of modern floor mopping robots is carpet recognition. What is usually only used for vacuum robots to adjust the suction power is essential for mopping robots. Thanks to their sensors, modern mopping robots can safely detect and avoid carpets. So carpets stay dry and hard floors can be thoroughly cleaned.
4.4 Useful for allergy sufferers
Especially allergy sufferers benefit from mopping robots. While pure vacuum robots collect pollen, pet hair and dust, they sometimes release them back into the air despite their filter. Mopping robots offer a more thorough cleaning.
By mopping, allergens are safely absorbed, bound in the water tank and can be easily disposed of. Therefore, mopping robots are ideal for allergy sufferers and you have peace of mind.
4.5 Value for money
Good mopping robots don't have to be expensive and cost - if at all - not much more than a good conventional vacuum cleaner. In return, they relieve you of tiresome household chores and are therefore a worthwhile investment in your free time.
