Household equipment has made significant progress in recent years. Thanks to the increased use of IoT networks, developers have focused on smart devices that make housework easier. Adaptable, remote-controlled light switches, self-storing refrigerators or autonomous robots are gradually replacing tools familiar from our grandmothers' homes.
Several key factors will make choosing an autonomous assistant easier. The main one is the type of floor the device is intended for. If your apartment is mostly carpeted, choose models with higher suction power, i.e. at least 2,000 pascals, and a rotating brush. On the other hand, for hard floors such as linoleum or floating floors, lower power will suffice.
Another important criterion is the sophistication of the built-in navigation. Cheaper models move around the designated areas essentially randomly, while better devices are equipped with a LiDAR laser mapping system or a camera, thanks to which they are able to cover and clean the entire designated area more effectively.
An important parameter is the height of the selected vacuum cleaner. If your furniture is placed on low legs, measure to make sure whether the selected device will fit under it at all. Another piece of information that needs to be paid attention to is the volume of the dust container. For larger spaces or places where it is necessary to vacuum more often, choose a vacuum cleaner equipped with a larger container or an automatic emptying station..
Some models also offer a mopping function, but not all of them can really handle this task. You also need to focus on battery life. For larger rooms, choose a longer vacuuming interval, typically around two hours.
A robotic vacuum cleaner can be controlled either using buttons located on the device itself or using a remote control. However, more advanced models offer the option of control via a mobile application, or even using voice commands using systems such as Google Assistant or Alexa in the case of Apple products.
A key factor in choosing a properly functioning air purifier is the size of the room in which the device is to operate. The air flow, so-called CADR, must correspond to the given space, for example 200 to 300 m³/h for a room with an area of 20 to 30 square meters.
It is also necessary to verify the filtration method, when the best is the HEPA H13 or H14 system together with a carbon filter, which removes not only dust or pollen and other allergens, but also unpleasant smells. If the device is intended for residential premises, it is also necessary to monitor its noise level, which ideally should not reach 50 decibels and even less after switching to night mode.
Air purifiers also offer some smart functions, such as automatic mode, sensors for monitoring and evaluating air quality or control via a mobile application. The declared energy consumption is also an essential data, when long-term operation should be as economical as possible.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for a traditional handheld vacuum cleaner, your ideal assistant will be the ultra-quiet and highly efficient Orava Volcano vacuum cleaner, which can hold up to four litres of waste. It is equipped with an energy-saving ECO motor, reaching a suction power of an impressive 160 watts, which you can regulate according to immediate needs. In addition, the noise level at full power reaches only 68 decibels. The device has a working radius of nine meters, of which six meters is the length of the power cable.
Washing windows can be made much easier with the Orava Lautus-1 cordless window cleaner with dirt extraction, which is designed for convenient and quick cleaning of smooth and flat surfaces, not only windows, but also mirrors and ceramic tiles or paving stones. Thanks to the almost 30 cm wide squeegee, you can clean windows much faster. The time required to fully charge a discharged battery easily exceeds three hours, after which you can work again for a decent 40 minutes.
Therefore, let's not be afraid of cleaning and let's not look at the quantity!
