The smart way to clean: the latest innovations in vacuum technology

From smartphones to smart TVs, modern technology has dramatically changed the way we live and things that once seemed impossible are now achievable at the click of a button.

Technology has also made its way into our homes and gives us the ability to clean our houses with little or no effort.

In this article, we’re going to take a look at some of the latest innovations in vacuum technology that can offer you the smartest way to clean. If you decide to invest in some new smart devices for your home, make sure you check out this AEG discount code to get yourself a brilliant deal. 

Robot vacuums

Robot vacuum cleaners are not an entirely new trend, but advances in technology have significantly improved them in recent years. The biggest advantage of using a robot vacuum is that it can save you a great deal of time and effort.

Many models are completely autonomous so you can let it do its job, and while you focus on other chores or activities, it will go about its business to clean your floors and carpets. You can also find robot vacuum cleaners that areauto-emptying, meaning you don’t even have to think about emptying it when it’s full!

Efficient charging

Since most vacuum cleaners run on electricity, having an efficient and reliable charging dock or station is a must. Many of the latest models, especially robot style vacuums, also include a smart charging system.

Some are even intelligent enough to automatically return to their charging station when they’re running out of power to effectuate the necessary recharge. 

Smart navigation

Innovative vacuum cleaners also use the latest technology to navigate effectively throughout your home.

They have special features installed that allow the device to “see” or “feel” their surroundings. This means that they can complete their job without running into any items of furniture or other objects around them, and continue to vacuum without interrupting the process. 

Combination cleaners

Once your floors have been vacuumed, by a robotised device or other, the next step would traditionally be to use a mop and bucket, or other similar equipment, to give them a good scrub.

Recent inventions mean that you can finally throw away the old mop and bucket for good! It’s possible to find a 2-in-1 machine that will clean your floors after the vacuuming phase, for a completely hassle free cleaning solution. 

Bagless vacuums

It’s not so long ago that the very first bagless vacuum cleaner was introduced, and this also revolutionized the way we clean our homes. Cutting out the traditional bags that were part of previous models has many advantages.

Firstly, it saves money on replacing used bags, which is always a plus and is muchbetter for the environment. Secondly, they use special technology and high quality filtration systems to create a high level of suction power, and this makes them much more efficient.

They are also generally more hygienic than bagged vacuums and are particularly recommended for people who suffer from allergies.

Another feature that many consumers seem to enjoy, is the fact that the chamber that captures the dirt is usually transparent. Seeing the level of dust and debris that is collected can strangley be very satisfying, and it’s also easy to know when it’s time to empty the chamber. 

The vacuum cleaner has a long and interesting history, dating all the way back to 1901 when the very first version of the vacuum cleaner is said to have been invented.
