We all want to find ways to save time. With more and more "intelligent" technology - it was just a matter of time before the dreaded chore of vacuuming joined the club. A robot vacuum cleaner was once thought of as a futuristic prototype but is more and more commonly becoming an accepted member of the closet of household tools. But are they worth the investment? Are they good gifts for the holidays?

Arguably, the convenience of robotic vacuum cleaners requires wonderfully little effort. Just set it up and forget it. They can be programmed to clean on a schedule in specific rooms at specific times. You don't even have to push the start button - saving you time and effort vs. a traditional vacuum cleaner. They get to hard to reach spaces, under tables and counters, eliminating the need to move furniture or even get off the couch.

But the downside needs to be considered as well. The battery life for robotic vacuum cleaners is not long. It requires a lot of energy to be charged for hours, and if you have larger rooms, the cleaning could take hours to complete and could stop midway through. They are easily clogged up by objects like paper, string, pennies, or buttons - requiring you to walk around each room first to look for these objects every day, and it can't do your stairs.

Robotic vacuums have significantly improved over the years. Now is a perfect time to purchase these little helpers because they make great gifts for the holidays coming up. This technology can vary in price but can cost upwards at a few thousand dollars.

You'll want to research the brand and reviews carefully should you choose to purchase a robotic vacuum and keep up on your routine scheduled cleanings from Gator Clean. If we can answer any questions you might have in deciding on a robotic or upright vacuum, us today.
