Want to purchase a robot vacuum cleaner?  

You’re in the right place.

In this blog post, we'll discuss the features to look out for when choosing a robot vacuum, and take a look at some of the best robot vacuum cleaners available in Singapore.

Here are a few features to keep in mind when buying a robot vacuum cleaner:

Firstly, one of the most important features to look out for when choosing a robot vacuum cleaner is suction power.

This is pretty straightforward: the higher the suction power, the more effective the vacuum cleaner will be at picking up dirt and debris.

We recommend looking for a vacuum cleaner with a suction power of at least 1500Pa.
 

Another important feature to consider is battery life.  

Again, this isn't rocket science: the longer the battery life, the more cleaning the vacuum cleaner will be able to do before it needs to be recharged.

Generally speaking, you want a vacuum cleaner with a battery life of at least 90 minutes.

A good robot vacuum cleaner should be able to navigate around your home without getting stuck.

Makes sense, right? If you need to keep rescuing your vacuum cleaner and ‘babying’ it, then you might as well use a manual vacuum cleaner instead. 

To make your cleaning as hands-off as possible, look for a vacuum cleaner with sensors and mapping technology – these help it to navigate around obstacles and avoid collisions.

If you live in a multi-level home, also look for a feature called “drop off detection” - this allows the robot vacuum to detect edges, preventing it from falling down the stairs.
 

Here are some popular robot vacuum brands in Singapore:

Now that you’re clear on what to look for in a robot vacuum, here are some of the best robot vacuums in Singapore to choose from:
 

The Samsung Jet Bot is a great option for deep-cleaning.

The Jet Bot can mop and vacuum, and it comes with 3000Pa suction.

Samsung vacuums feature advanced mapping capabilities, with sophisticated mapping algorithms and sensors.

This translates to improved navigation, better coverage, and more efficient cleaning patterns.

Features:

Advanced sensors and cameras for precise mapping and cleaning

3000Pa powerful suction for picking up debris and pet hair

Self-cleaning brush feature

You'll like the Jet Bot if:

You have a big household or one that’s susceptible to mess and dirt

You need to deep clean regularly or have pets

You have a complex or non-open home layout which may be difficult for robot vacuums to navigate 

Shop the Jet Bot on Singtel (and pay in 12, 24, or 36 month instalments).
 

The Yeedi Cube is a robot vacuum that can mop and vacuum with an 8mm Auto-Lift Sonic Mopping system and a maximum suction power of 5100Pa. 

It also includes a Cube Station, which is a self-emptying base. 

When the robot vacuum completes its cleaning session, it automatically transfers the collected dirt from its dustbin into a larger dustbin within the Cube Station – which you’ll only need to empty out every 2 months. 

Additionally, the Yeedi Cube can wash and dry itself in the Cube Station after every cleaning cycle. 

Plus, you can merge and divide rooms as well as select cleaning sequences for the robot vacuum via the Yeedi app. 

Features: 

Mops and vacuums 

Auto emptying, washing and hot-air drying features 

Up to 200 min runtime

Increases the suction power when it encounters carpets

Voice controlled with Alexa or Google Home Assistant 

You’ll like the Yeedi Cube if: 

You’re a busy bee with little time to clean 

You prefer controlling smart home devices with either your phone or voice commands 

Your home has a lot of carpets 

Shop the Yeedi Cube Self-Empty and Self-Wash Vacuum Mop Cleaner on Singtel (and pay in 12 , 24, or 36 month instalments).
 

The cost of robot vacuums in Singapore varies depending on the brand, model, and features.

Generally, you can find basic robot vacuums starting at around $300 to $500, while more advanced models with features like mapping technology, self-emptying bins, and advanced sensors can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more.

If you’re looking at the very cheapest robot vacuums, you can find robot vacuums for $200-$300 on Shopee. These are mostly brands from China, including TP-Link and HXR.

For those tempted to buy a cheap vacuum cleaner, do note that these may not have the same durability, suction power, or features as more expensive models. They may also break down more quickly or require more frequent maintenance.

Additionally, cheap vacuum cleaners may have limited warranty coverage or customer support.

Bottom line? Opting for a cheap vacuum cleaner may help you save money, but you’re definitely taking a risk when it comes to reliability and performance.
 

If we were to describe robot vacuums in one word, it would be... life-changing.

Once you buy your very first robot vacuum cleaner, you’ll never go back to your non-robot vacuum era 😉 

Of course, make sure you do your due diligence, and find a robot vacuum that suits your needs.
