Myths and facts about robotic vacuum cleaners | SEGS

The way we perform various household tasks has changed thanks to technology and smart home devices. Now, it is much easier to implement them than before through smart devices, such as robotic vacuum cleaners, which have various features, allowing you to automate tasks such as sweeping and mopping. However, there are still some myths about this type of device and hence, we have prepared a small guide to provide the facts about each and every one of them. paying off:

Myth: Robotic vacuums harm surroundings

Wrong: Samsung robotic vacuum cleaners were created to clean different types of floors in the house accurately, without damaging the things around them, as they contain sensors that direct them in their path.

For example, the POWERbot-E vacuum cleaner has a Smart Sensing system, which consists of several sensors to determine the best path taking into account unevenness and items that may be in the way, avoiding collisions with furniture, climbing objects, falls or stairs. . The Jet Bot line has a built-in LiDAR sensor, which scans rooms1, gathering information about objects in space and the distance between them to cover a larger area without causing damage to the objects.

Myth: These devices don’t absorb all the dirt

Wrong: Samsung robot vacuum models feature brushes made of fine filaments of soft fabrics and high-efficiency extractors that vacuum up things like pet hair, cat litter, and food crumbs without tangling or damaging them.

The Jet Bot line, for example, has a Digital Inverter Motor, which maximizes suction power and Smart Control that identifies surface type and dirt level, and automatically adjusts suction power to thoroughly clean each floor. POWERbot-E, in turn, includes a 2-in-1 cleaning system, which vacuums and mops tough items when turned on, as well as a Digital Inverter Motor that captures all particles with high suction power.

Myth: You need to charge your devices more often

Wrong: Samsung robotic vacuum cleaners are designed to clean the house continuously and for long periods, as they contain long-lasting batteries that maintain their power for up to 150 minutes2, in the case of POWERbot-E, and 90 minutes, in the case of Jet Bots.

Myth: Robotic vacuums aren’t smart enough

Wrong: Samsung’s POWERbot-E and Jet Bots allow users to save time cleaning their homes remotely, as they connect to the Internet and can be controlled remotely with the SmartThings3 app, and can be turned on and off, with programmable time runs and even adjustments in suction levels, Among other functions 4.

In addition, Jet Bots can be controlled via user preferred assistant such as Samsung Bixby5, Amazon Alexa6 and Google Assistant7. The models provide functions such as a live cleaning report, which automatically provides a map of where the robotic vacuum cleaner has already been cleaned, pause cleaning or even command it to stop, and Go and No-Go zones functions, without having to put in the barriers of physics to determine distances. The Jet Bot™ AI+ model also has SmartThings Pet Service functionality, which streams live feeds from the front-facing camera and detects your pets’ movements so you can know if they’re safe and happy. It can also play music and access other smart devices to keep your pets comfortable or entertained.

Myth: The machine only cleans in one direction

Wrong: POWERbot-E cleans every corner of the house, it has four 8 cleaning modes: Zig-Zag, Auto, Edge and Spot, which allow you to reach every corner, so that the floor is always clean, without complications.
