The holidays are almost here, and if you're hosting family or friends this year, you'll want your home to look its cleanest. Cleaning up around your home can be a real hassle, especially during the time of year when your to-do list seems to grow by the hour. Thankfully, iRobot has a way to make cleaning up around the house easier than ever. iRobot produces high-quality robotic vacuums that can clean up messes before you even know they're there. Read on to find out more about iRobot's Roomba and how it can help you make cleaning a breeze.

What Is a Robot Vacuum?

Robot vacuums have the ability to function automatically and clean up messes without you needing to operate them yourself. iRobot's Roombas use sensors to efficiently roam around your home without bumping into nearby walls or furniture. These sensors also alert the Roomba of any nearby messes. With their amazing autonomous functionality, all you have to do to get your Roomba on the move is set it up and turn it on.

How Effective Are Roombas?

The efficiency of the Roomba is what has earned it its glowing reputation over the years. When you compare them to traditional vacuums, Roombas have a lot going for them. They can seek out messes that you may not even know are there, and clean them before you ever would have noticed them. When it comes to their day-to-day cleaning processes, Roombas are able to pick up dirt and crumbs, and will leave your home looking tidier. With their automated functionality and their efficient vacuuming tools, a Roomba can keep your house clean just as well as a conventional vacuum can, all without needing you to do anything past setting them up.

Can a Roomba Mop?

At this point we all know that Roombas are able to vacuum up virtually any mess, but are they able to mop up messes too? Believe it or not, iRobot does make mopping devices as well. Select models feature an interchangeable combo bin that can be swapped out when it's time to mop. Simply install the Roomba Combo Bin and the machine will switch from vacuum mode to vacuum and mop mode. If your Roomba model does not have the mop option, it does have the ability to communicate with a separate unit - the iRobot Braava - to let it know when a mess may require a mop rather than a vacuum. With a Roomba and a Braava Jet under one roof, you've got yourself an automated cleaning crew that can assist each other to clean up any mess you throw at them.

What Else Can Roombas Do?

You already got a taste of the kinds of things a Roomba vacuum can do in the last few sections, but there is still so much more to learn about these robotic vacuums. Select Roomba models are able to connect to WiFi, giving them additional functionality and allowing you to control how they work right from your phone. Some models also come with voice control, allowing hands-free operation. There are also some models that will return to their charging station after they complete a job so that they are always ready to clean. Some Roombas can even empty their own bags, leaving you with very few responsibilities when it comes to keeping them running smoothly.

During one of the busiest times of the year, a robotic vacuum can help make cleaning up around the house easier than ever. With a Roomba, you'll have more time to do the things you love, like spending time with friends and family, and making the most of the holiday season!
