Before choosing a floor scrubber, we still need to make a clear judgment on our needs. Do you also have doubts about which smart cleaning tool to choose, a sweeping robot, a vacuum cleaner, a steam mop or a floor scrubber? How much do you know about these smart cleaning tools, how practical are they, and how to choose?
Which is more practical, a floor scrubber or a sweeping robot?
The sweeping robot is fully automatic and can clean up some garbage such as dust or debris. The sweeping machine can actually be understood as a broom, which can collect the garbage and dust on the ground in the trash can, but it cannot clean the dirt, oil and other stains on the ground. The sweeping machine is suitable for places with a lot of garbage and a large area.
The floor scrubber can clean both dust and stains, even if the dirt on the ground is very sticky. The floor scrubber is a superposition of the triple functions of a vacuum cleaner, an electric mop, and a floor scrubber. The floor scrubber has a perfect mopping function that the sweeping robot and vacuum cleaner do not have. One-button self-cleaning can also make the use process easier. If you need a one-stop service of sweeping + mopping + disinfection + self-cleaning, the floor scrubber is different from the sweeping robot and vacuum cleaner in that it can handle all kinds of dry garbage, wet garbage, and dry and wet mixed garbage, and realize the automatic classification of dry and wet garbage, which can save you the trouble of garbage classification.
The functions of the floor scrubber and the sweeping robot have their own advantages, and the specific practicality should be combined with the actual situation of the family and selected as appropriate.
Summary: If the family only needs to clean dust, large garbage, etc., and there are fewer stains with strong adhesion, you can choose a sweeping robot. Compared with the family, which not only has dust and debris but also oil, mildew, and various stains with strong adhesion on the ground, and pursues sterilization and disinfection, the cleaning of the floor scrubber is undoubtedly more effective and practical.
How to choose a suitable floor scrubber
Cleaning capability
Cleaning ability is undoubtedly the most important condition for choosing a floor scrubber. Cleaning ability depends on suction and roller brush. A household floor scrubber with high suction can remove large particles, and a good roller brush is not easy to entangle when cleaning hair, etc. The cleaning range should also be checked clearly. Some floor scrubbers can only clean floor tiles. If your home has wooden floors or carpets, such floor scrubbers cannot clean. Buying such a single-purpose floor scrubber is a waste of money, so you should choose one that is suitable for cleaning multiple floors.
There are two types of floor scrubber discs, namely disc brushes and roller brushes.
These two different brushes have their own advantages and corresponding scope of use, so when using them, you need to know which one to use to avoid mistakes and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The advantages of disc brushes are: large contact area with the ground, high pressure on the ground, thorough cleaning, hard brushes, soft brushes, and various scouring pads from soft to hard can be selected for different types of floors, and the scope of application is very wide.
The advantages of roller brushes are: the structural principle is basically the same as that of roller brush sweepers, some large garbage can be cleaned during cleaning, and some functions of sweepers can be replaced. At the same price, the higher the roller brush speed, the better, and the better the roller brush material, the longer it lasts.
Anti-entanglement ability
Hair entanglement is a headache, especially for girls with long hair. If there is no anti-entanglement design, it is very easy to entangle the roller brush multiple times, causing the suction channel to be blocked and unable to be used normally. If you want to clean it, you need to manually remove it, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, when purchasing a floor scrubber, you must pay attention to whether it has anti-entanglement technology.
Water tank capacity
The water tank of the floor scrubber generally includes a clean water tank and a sewage tank, and the water tank capacities of the two are completely different.
The clean water tank mainly stores clean water and is responsible for clean water when mopping the floor;
The sewage tank mainly stores sewage after the floor is cleaned.
The two water tanks are separated and have dual water outlets, which can avoid cross-secondary contamination and ensure that we use clean water every time we mop the floor. When the machine collects a mixture containing sludge, they tend to accumulate in the water tank and emit an unpleasant odor, so it is very necessary to clean the water tank of the floor scrubber with running water. The capacity of the water tank also affects the applicable area to a certain extent.
Intelligence
The current level of intelligence of floor scrubbers has been greatly improved. Not only can voice reminders display the gear position in real time, but also the APP can be used to control and monitor the status of the floor scrubber. For example, when a fault occurs, the screen will prompt abnormal problems such as "sewage tank full", and when the battery is low, it will prompt charging in time. Products with higher intelligence have a higher sense of comfort and are more conducive to cleaning work and maintenance of floor scrubbers.
However, if there are elderly people in the family or those who are inconvenient to intelligent control, ordinary floor scrubbers can also meet general needs.
Battery life
The most direct correlation with battery life is the battery capacity. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the working time. For a family with an area of 120 square meters, a battery capacity of 2500nAH can meet the needs.
The general charging time is 4-8 hours, and the battery life is maintained for 30-80 minutes in different modes. Choose wireless or wired according to the area of the family. The price of wired will be lower than that of wireless and the power will be greater than that of wireless; wireless is very convenient, and sufficient power can also continuously clean the whole house.
Of course, wireless is more convenient, and there is no need to worry about power issues with wired. Consider the convenience of plugging in the socket and the convenience of the operator in the use environment. If the use area is small and the socket can meet the needs, choose a drag-line floor scrubber;
If the area is large and the socket is inconvenient, choose a battery-type floor scrubber.
Self-cleaning and sterilization function
Be sure to choose a self-cleaning machine, so that you don't need to wash the mop by hand. You can clean all the components inside the machine with one button, and then you only need to dump and rinse the dirty water box. For floor washers without self-cleaning function, you still need to clean each part in time, which is not convenient to operate. Self-cleaning really frees your hands.
The sterilization function is a unique function of floor washers. Different floor washers have different sterilization degrees. UV ultraviolet sterilization and high temperature sterilization have better and more obvious effects and are safe.
Noise
Noise exceeding 70 decibels can make people irritable and inattentive. Therefore, when purchasing a household floor scrubber, you should pay attention to the size of the working sound, or feel it on site and choose one that you can accept.
It is best to choose a household floor scrubber that uses eddy current noise reduction technology. The working sound of this household floor scrubber is much lower than the noise of a vacuum cleaner.
Floor scrubbers and sweepers have their own strengths. When choosing, you should decide based on your actual needs and living environment. Whether you are pursuing the convenience of daily cleaning or the need for deep cleaning of the ground, there are corresponding products on the market to meet your needs. Through careful comparison and weighing, users can find the cleaning equipment that best suits their family and enjoy the cleaning convenience brought by technology.
