FAQ About Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Do robot vacuum cleaners have virtual walls?
Yes, many robot vacuum cleaners come with virtual walls, which are devices that emit a signal that the robot vacuum cleaner will not cross. Virtual walls are useful for preventing the robot vacuum cleaner from entering certain areas of the home that you don't want it to clean.
Virtual walls work by emitting an infrared or radio frequency signal that creates a boundary that the robot vacuum cleaner cannot cross. Some virtual walls come with adjustable settings that allow you to set the boundary to a certain distance, so you can control how close the robot vacuum cleaner can get to the boundary.
Virtual walls are particularly useful for blocking off areas that the robot vacuum cleaner may have trouble navigating, such as areas with lots of cords or furniture that it could get stuck under. They can also be used to prevent the robot vacuum cleaner from entering rooms that you don't want it to clean, such as a room with a pet's food and water bowls.
Not all robot vacuum cleaners come with virtual walls, so it's important to check the specifications of the model you're considering if this is a feature that you're interested in. Some models may also offer alternative methods of boundary setting, such as using magnetic strips or setting up virtual boundaries through a smartphone app.
