FAQ
Learn more about stick vaccum and robot vacuum and choose the right cleaning partner for you
1. What is the main difference between a robotic vacuum and a stick vacuum?
A robotic vacuum is an autonomous device designed for hands-free, daily maintenance cleaning, while a stick vacuum is a manually operated, cordless vacuum for quick spot cleaning and deep cleaning tasks. The key difference lies in the level of human effort required: one cleans for you, and the other gives you direct control.
2. Which one should I buy if I have a home with different floor types (hardwood, carpet, tiles)?
Both types can work well on different floor types. However, a stick vacuum with a powerful motor and specialized brush heads is generally better at deep cleaning thick carpets. A robotic vacuum is excellent for maintaining hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets, with some models featuring automatic suction boost on carpets.
3. Are robotic vacuums as powerful as stick vacuums?
In general, stick vacuums tend to have more powerful suction than robotic vacuums. This makes them more effective for deep cleaning, especially on carpets, and for picking up stubborn debris. Robotic vacuums are optimized for consistent, daily cleanup of surface-level dirt and pet hair.
4. How long does the battery last on these vacuums?
The battery life varies by model and usage mode. Robotic vacuums typically run for 60 to 180 minutes on a single charge and will return to their charging dock automatically. Stick vacuums usually offer a shorter runtime of 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the power setting, and must be manually recharged.
5. Are robotic vacuums good for homes with pets?
Yes, they are excellent for homes with pets. Many robotic vacuums are specifically designed to pick up pet hair and dander on a daily basis, helping to keep floors clean and reduce allergens. Some advanced models even feature obstacle avoidance technology to steer clear of pet messes.
6. Do I have to empty the dustbin and clean the filters often?
Yes, regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. You should typically empty the dustbin of a stick vacuum after each use and a robotic vacuum every few runs. Filters should be cleaned or replaced periodically, usually every 3-6 months, to maintain suction power and air quality.
7. Is a cordless vacuum's battery life (e.g., the S13 Pro's 55 minutes) sufficient for cleaning my entire home in one go?
A 55-minute runtime is enough for a thorough cleaning in most small to medium-sized homes. For larger homes, you can make use of its fast-charging feature or clean the house in sections.
