What is a Mini Robot Cleaner?

When you talk about a mini robot cleaner, you should discuss 3 main criteria:

• The Size
• The Noise It Produces
• How Noticeable It Is During Vacuuming

The Size

The smaller the size of the mini robot cleaner, the more it suits the cause.

Size is measured by the 3 main dimensions of the robot cleaner, and it’s measured in inches.

The ideal size for a mini robot cleaner would be (>13 x >13 x >3) inches, meaning that as long as it’s less than those ideal numbers, it can be considered a mini robot cleaner.

The Noise

The less noise the vacuum produces, the better it is for any kind of vacuum, not only the mini robot cleaner.

The noise is measured by the level of sound it produces while operating, and that comes in dB.

The ideal noise level should be less than 58-60dB, for that to be considered a mini robot cleaner.

How Noticeable It Is During Vacuuming

The main problem with a robot cleaner doesn’t always about the noise it makes or its size, it can be about other noticeable features.

For instance, robot vacuums can run out of battery really fast, while others can operate for 2 hours straight.

If you don’t want to obtain a robot cleaner that’s not noticeable, you should look for ones that don’t clog, don’t take much time to completely vacuum a room, and ones with larger dustbins that don’t get filled much often.
