Are you looking for the best robot vacuum cleaner for your floor? Then it's important to know that not every robot vacuum cleaner performs equally well on every floor type. Hard floors, carpet, or a combination of both all place different demands on a robot vacuum cleaner. In this article, we explain what to look for and which models are most suitable per floor type.

🪵 1. Hard floors (laminate, parquet, tiles, PVC)

Almost every robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for hard floors, but some models offer better performance and extra convenience. The ideal robot vacuum cleaner for hard floors has:

• Direct suction nozzle or soft brush roll (prevents scratches)
• Good side brushes for cleaning corners and edges
• Mopping function for extra freshness

Recommended features:

• Low noise production
• Compact design (fits easily under furniture)
• Adjustable suction power

Tip: Do you have a delicate floor such as parquet? Then choose a model with soft rubber wheels and a protective cleaning technique.

🧼 2. Carpets and rugs

Carpet requires more suction power and a different approach. The best robot vacuum cleaner for carpet has:

• A rotating central brush or turbo brush that removes dirt from fibers
• High suction power, especially for thicker carpet
• Automatic floor recognition (the robot increases suction power on carpet)
  

Recommended features:

• Anti-tangle brush (useful for hair)
• HEPA filter for capturing fine dust particles
• Threshold recognition (to drive over carpet edges or thresholds)

Please note: Not all models with a mopping function are suitable for carpet. Choose a model where the robot automatically avoids the carpet, for example Bep 5.0, or is automatically lifted, as with the Willem 2.0.

🐾 3. Mixed floor types + pets

Do you have different floor types and pets? Then it's smart to choose a hybrid robot vacuum cleaner with powerful suction performance and a brush that handles hair well.

Essential functions:

• Suction nozzle without main brush (to prevent tangled hair)
• Powerful motor with adjustable suction power
• Good navigation for complex spaces

A good example of this is Bep 5.0, which only vacuums and handles hair well with a powerful motor. You can optionally order an additional mopping system to mop the floor as well.

🔎 Which robot vacuum cleaner best suits your floor?

Because every home is different, we have developed a handy selection guide. This will quickly help you discover which robot vacuum cleaner best suits your floor type, family situation, and personal preferences.

Whether you have an apartment with tiles, a house with wooden floors, or a home with carpet and pets — there is always a robot vacuum cleaner that perfectly matches your situation.

Conclusion: match your robot vacuum cleaner to your floor

The best robot vacuum cleaner for your floor is the one that is tailored to your living situation. Hard floors require precision and gentleness, carpet requires power and deep cleaning. Do you have both? Then choose a versatile model with automatic adjustment.

Do you want to be sure you make the right choice?

Then use our selection guide and find the robot vacuum cleaner that best suits your floor type in just a few clicks.

Many models offer wet cleaning, but the convenience and effectiveness vary greatly.

For example, Willem 2.0 and Bep 5.0 can thoroughly scrub the floor with rotating mops. This ensures the best cleaning result.

Willem 2.0 can even clean the mop and lift it as soon as it encounters carpet. Both robots are available in different variants, so select the correct version for you.

Jannie 4.1 can also mop, however, this is a damp cloth that picks up small dirt but doesn't really scrub the floor. See below for more information about mopping with a robot vacuum cleaner:;

What determines whether a robot vacuum cleaner mops well?

A robot vacuum cleaner can often do more than just vacuum. In addition to dust, the mopping function also removes stains and fine dust from your floor. Are you looking for the best mopping function for you?

Then pay attention to the robot's points below. We determine how thoroughly a robot vacuum cleaner mops based on various functions. This way, you can easily choose whether you want a basic, good, or very good mopping class.

What determines whether the robot mops well?

• Mopping method
  The mopping method indicates what kind of mop the robot has: passive, reciprocating, vibrating, or rotating.
• Mop rotations
  The higher the mop rotations per minute, the more thoroughly the mop scrubs stains from the floor.
• Pressure on the floor
  The firmer the mop presses on the floor. The more thoroughly it mops.
• Mop lift
  The mop is automatically lifted when the robot vacuum cleaner encounters carpet. Your rug therefore remains clean and dry but is vacuumed.
• Along the edges
  The robot's mop gets well along the edges, so it doesn't miss any spots.

Very good mopping function
Robot vacuum cleaner with mopping function
Do you want a really clean floor and want to do as little as possible yourself? Then choose the mopping robot Willem 2.0 with very good mopping properties. This robot scrubs powerfully, puts firm pressure on the floor, and automatically lifts the mop when it drives over carpet. It also takes care of corners. In the base station, it washes its mop with hot water. This way, you don't have to clean dirty mop pads yourself.

Good mopping function
Robot vacuum cleaner with rotating mop
Are you looking for a robot that removes stains from your floor, but don't mind if it sometimes misses spots? Then choose a robot with a good mopping class, for example a Bep 5.0. This robot has rotating mop cloths that clean thoroughly. It rotates up to 180 times per minute and puts extra pressure on the floor. This way, it scrubs away dirt, even stubborn stains.

Basic mopping function
Robot vacuum cleaner with wet mop
Do you want your robot to occasionally wipe the floor with a wet cloth? Then a robot with a Jannie 4.1 suits you well. This robot drags a wet cloth across the floor. This is useful for daily maintenance, such as dust or light stains. Just don't expect a thorough cleaning. Stubborn stains often remain. This robot mainly helps you if you are just looking for some extra help with keeping clean.

Conclusion

Do you want the best cleaning result without having to worry about your robot vacuum cleaner? Then go for a Willem 2.0 with a self-cleaning station with a very good mopping class. This cleans thoroughly, even in the corners. It also cleans its mop automatically. Don't mind cleaning the mops yourself? Then the Willem 2.0 with mop without a self-cleaning station is a good option. If a simple damp cloth is sufficient and you are mainly concerned with vacuuming, then choose the Jannie4.1 with a 2-in-1 dustbin.

The basic robot vacuum cleaners form the entry-level class in the range. They ensure that your floor is vacuumed, so you can skip this task. Please note that these robots often move randomly through the house, which can mean that they sometimes miss parts of the floor. In addition, you usually cannot operate these robots via a mobile app, and they often stop abruptly as soon as the battery is empty. The price of these models is generally lower than that of more advanced robots. Zoef Robot only has robot vacuum cleaners with structured cleaning and all can be operated with the app.

A good robot vacuum cleaner

Better robot vacuum cleaners offer more advanced functions, especially in the field of cleaning and charging. They clean more systematically and use a navigation method, so they skip fewer spots. These robots often return independently to the base station when the battery is almost empty. If you expect a little more than random vacuuming and it is important that the robot brings itself to the charging station, then a better robot vacuum cleaner is a good choice for you. A Jannie 4.1 would suit you well in this case. Just a very good robot vacuum cleaner with excellent quality.

The best robot vacuum cleaners

The top models of robot vacuum cleaners have the most advanced technologies and functions. They scan the room with lasers and can be fully controlled via a mobile app. Our robots constantly scan their environment and can detect (larger) obstacles before colliding with them. When the battery is empty, these robots drive independently to their charging station, charge, and then continue cleaning where they left off. The Willem 2.0 and the Bep 5.0 fall into the category of best robot vacuum cleaners

I never have to vacuum again

Unfortunately, that's not entirely true. No matter how advanced a robot vacuum cleaner is, there are always places it cannot reach, such as baseboards, stair treads, windowsills, and behind the radiator. For these types of vacuuming jobs, you will still need a traditional vacuum cleaner. The robot vacuum cleaner does ensure that you have to use it less often. In addition, it is important that you make the room 'robot vacuum cleaner-ready' beforehand, by moving obstacles such as chairs and plugs a little to the side.

Do you want to know which robot vacuum cleaner suits you best? Then check out our choice helper

Robot vacuum cleaners are a convenient solution for thoroughly cleaning your room, including tricky spots like along baseboards and between chair legs. However, it's important to observe the robot vacuum cleaner the first time and adjust any obstacles for an effective cleaning.

At Zoef Robot, there are two different navigation methods.

• Jannie 4.1 uses a gyroscope and even creates a floor plan of the room. However, she only uses this map to clean completely and systematically. This is not remembered and cannot be edited.
• Willem 2.0 and Bep 5.0 use a Laser for navigation. This is the best method and offers the most possibilities.

While robot vacuum cleaners without navigation methods are cheaper, there is a risk that they skip parts, which is why we do not have them. We do not have robot vacuum cleaners with cameras because we do not consider this wise due to privacy concerns.

If you want to know more about navigation methods, look below;

Navigation and Cleaning Routes

Robot vacuums can operate in your home in different ways. Basic models drive randomly, while advanced models use systematic, cameras or lasers. They are able to clean the entire room, including baseboards and tricky spaces, and maneuver smoothly between chair legs. Some models even create a floor plan of the room. Random vacuum robots cost less, but can skip spots. Systematic robots follow a zigzag route to reach every part of your home.

Navigation and collision avoidance are crucial for a good user experience.
An important distinction between robot vacuum cleaners is the way they navigate. We cover the four most common navigation systems, starting with the simplest and ending with the advanced technologies we see today.

1. Random navigation

The simplest (and often least efficient) way of navigating is random movement. With these robots, the vacuum cleaner moves through the room without a plan. Although the price of these models often seems attractive, you should not expect much from the navigation. These robots are generally quite inefficient. Due to the random movements, the robot does not know where it has already been, which means that it sometimes cleans parts twice and skips other spots. The result is often unpredictable: good one time, less good the next.
Robot vacuum cleaners with random navigation usually only have basic sensors. If the robot hits an obstacle, the sensor detects this and sends the robot in a different direction. With stairs, a sensor often comes into action that prevents the robot from falling.

Since the robot has no memory of the already cleaned areas, it only stops when the battery is empty. Some robots can find the charging station using an infrared sensor, but most just stop somewhere randomly in the room. This not only makes energy consumption inefficient, but also less sustainable.

2. Systematic navigation

A step further in technology is the robot vacuum cleaner with systematic navigation, often made possible by a gyroscope, which acts as a kind of internal compass. This allows the robot to understand where it is in the room. uses this technique.

Thanks to the gyroscope, the robot can clean systematically and remember where it has already been. This makes the robot more efficient than models with random navigation. It avoids double work, is less likely to skip spots, and only stops when the cleaning job is actually finished.

Many robots with systematic navigation, such as Robotstofzuiger Jannie 4.1, cannot save this memory from session to session. However, some more advanced models (such as Jannie 4.1) can create a floor plan of your home and become increasingly efficient the more often they clean.

3. Visual navigation (camera)

Visual navigation is a more advanced technology that uses a camera, as found in more expensive models of well-known brands. This camera is often called a "ceiling camera" because it looks upwards to map the room.

Technology in development
The camera makes it possible to recognize obstacles and navigate around them, but the technology is still in its infancy. The camera processes an enormous amount of data, and the current technique is not always perfect. In addition, all this data and images create a privacy risk for the user. That is why Zoef Robot does not use this technique.

4. Laser navigation

The most advanced navigation technology at the moment is Lidar laser navigation. This technique is similar to the technology behind self-driving cars. The use of Lidar is more developed than visual navigation and makes it possible to process data extremely quickly and accurately.

Problem-free navigation
The invisible laser continuously scans the room and navigates through the house without problems. After one round through the room, the robot vacuum cleaner creates a detailed floor plan that is available via an app. The robot works very accurately and is rarely disturbed, even with new or moved obstacles. Lidar navigation currently offers the best performance and can be found in models such as Bep 5.0 and Willem 2.0

Choosing the right robot vacuum cleaner can be a challenge, especially since every home, person, and situation is unique. What works perfectly for one person may not be the best choice for someone else. Therefore, it is important to find a robot vacuum cleaner that perfectly matches your specific needs and living situation.

At Zoef Robot, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you have a large house, an apartment, a pet, or allergies, there is always a robot vacuum cleaner that fits your situation perfectly. That's why we offer a wide range of models, so you can choose from different options that work for you.

Why is the choice so personal?

1. Size and layout of your home: Do you have a small apartment or a large house? Some robot vacuum cleaners are better suited for smaller spaces, while other models are ideal for larger homes with multiple floors.
   
2. Type of floors: Do you mainly have carpet, hard floors, or a combination of both? Not all robot vacuum cleaners are equally effective on different types of floors. There are models specifically designed for carpet, while others are better suited for hard floors.
   
3. Pets: If you have pets, it is important to choose a robot vacuum cleaner that can handle hair and extra dirt well. Many models are equipped with special brushes and powerful suction to thoroughly remove pet hair.
   
4. Allergies and dust sensitivity: Do you suffer from allergies? Then it is important to choose a robot vacuum cleaner with a high-quality filter system, such as a HEPA filter, to effectively filter dust and allergens from the air.
5. App control: See if you would also like a remote control, all robots work with the Zoef Robot smart app.

A robot vacuum cleaner is a smart, automatic vacuum cleaner that independently cleans floors without you having to do anything. But how exactly does a robot vacuum cleaner work? In this article, we explain step-by-step how this handy household helper operates, what technologies it contains, and what you can expect from a modern robot vacuum cleaner.

1. Navigation and sensors

One of the most important components of a robot vacuum cleaner are its sensors. These ensure that the robot:

• Detects obstacles such as furniture and walls
• Avoids stair edges and height differences
• Navigates efficiently through the room
  

Depending on the model, a robot vacuum cleaner can use simple infrared sensors, or advanced laser or camera technology (such as LIDAR) to create a map of your home. Smart models remember the floor plan and adjust their route accordingly for more efficient cleaning.

2. Cleaning technique

The robot vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt, dust, and hair using:

• Side brushes that sweep dirt from corners and along baseboards inwards
• A central roller brush or suction opening that picks up the dirt
• A dustbin where all the dirt is stored
  

Some models also have a mopping function, which also wet-cleans your floor after vacuuming.

3. Automatic operation and control

A robot vacuum cleaner operates fully automatically. You can:

• Set a cleaning schedule, so it starts when you want it to
  
• Control the robot via an app on your smartphone
  
• Integrate the vacuum cleaner with smart home systems such as Google Assistant or Alexa
  

As soon as the battery is almost empty, the robot vacuum cleaner automatically returns to the charging station, and some models even automatically resume cleaning where they left off.

4. Smart functions

Many modern robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with smart extras, such as:

• Map view of your home in the app
• Zone cleaning, where you select specific rooms or areas
• Virtual walls, with which you define areas where the robot is not allowed to go
• Automatic dirt disposal into a separate collection bin at the charging station (with advanced models)
  

Why choose a robot vacuum cleaner?

A robot vacuum cleaner takes daily work off your hands and ensures that your floors are always clean, even when you are not home. Whether you have a busy family, pets, or allergies – there is always a model that suits your situation.

A robot vacuum cleaner has quickly become an indispensable helper in many households. And for good reason. These smart devices offer convenience, save time, and ensure your floor is always clean — without you having to lift a finger. But what exactly are the advantages of a robot vacuum cleaner? We've listed them for you.

1. Fully automatic cleaning

The biggest advantage of a robot vacuum cleaner is that it works completely autonomously. You no longer need to use a manual vacuum cleaner. Set a cleaning schedule or press a button, and the robot does the rest – even when you're not home.

2. Time-saving

Instead of vacuuming daily or weekly yourself, the robot vacuum cleaner takes over this task for you. This leaves you with more time for more important or enjoyable things, such as your family, hobbies, or relaxation.

3. Always a clean floor

Because you can let the robot vacuum cleaner run regularly (even every day), your floor remains constantly clean. Especially useful for people with children or pets, where dirt and hair quickly accumulate.

4. Ideal for allergies

Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with HEPA filters or similar systems that filter dust, pollen, and allergens from the air. This means you breathe cleaner air – ideal for people with a dust allergy or asthma.

5. Suitable for various floor types

Robot vacuum cleaners work excellently on hard floors such as laminate, parquet, or tiles, but many models can also clean low-pile carpets. Some models automatically adjust the suction power depending on the type of floor.

6. Reaches hard-to-reach places

Thanks to their compact size, robot vacuum cleaners can easily get under sofas, beds, and cabinets — places you often skip with a regular vacuum cleaner.

7. Smart navigation and technology

Modern robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with advanced technology such as:

• 
  LIDAR or camera navigation for efficient routes
  
• 
  Virtual walls to avoid certain zones
  
• 
  Automatic return to the charging station
  
• 
  Map view in the app to see where cleaning has already been done
  

8. Low maintenance

Robot vacuum cleaners are generally low-maintenance. The only things you need to do regularly are empty the dustbin, clean the brushes, and sometimes replace a filter.

9. Controllable via app or voice

Most models can be controlled via a user-friendly app on your smartphone. You can start, pause, set zones, or adjust the cleaning schedule. More and more robot vacuum cleaners also work with Google Assistant or Alexa, so you can control them with your voice.

10. Mopping function possible

Some robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with a mopping function, so they not only vacuum but also wet clean. Ideal for extra hygiene in kitchens, hallways, or bathrooms.

In short: why a robot vacuum cleaner?

A robot vacuum cleaner is a smart investment for anyone who values convenience, time-saving, and a clean home. Whether you have a busy family, pets, allergies, or simply don't feel like (or have time for) daily vacuuming — there is always a model that suits your situation.

Curious which model suits you best? Use our handy selection guide and discover in a few clicks which robot vacuum cleaner best meets your wishes and living situation.

How quiet a robot vacuum cleaner is during use depends on the model and the suction power setting. In general, robot vacuum cleaners produce:

Between 55 and 70 decibels (dB)

• 55-60 dB: Relatively quiet – comparable to a normal conversation or background music. Ideal for use while you are at home, without being disruptive.
  
• 60-70 dB: Audible, but still much quieter than a traditional vacuum cleaner (which often produces 75-85 dB).

Our high-end models have different suction power settings, allowing you to precisely choose the sound and suction power. Our Zoef Robot models also have a "silent mode", where the noise level is lower because the suction power is temporarily reduced. This is useful for use in the evening or while working from home.

If you invest in a robot vacuum cleaner, you naturally want to be sure that you choose a device that not only cleans well, but also lasts a long time and continues to perform reliably.

Robot vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly smart and efficient, but one of the most important components remains, of course: the suction method. Because how exactly does a robot vacuum cleaner ensure that dust, dirt, and hairs effectively disappear from your floor? In this article, we explain which suction methods robot vacuum cleaners use and what the differences are.

🌀 1. Direct suction

The simplest and quietest method is direct suction. Here, dirt is sucked up directly through a suction nozzle, without a rotating brush. This method is especially effective on:

• Hard floors such as laminate, parquet, or tiles
• Smaller spaces with few obstacles
• Households without a lot of pet hair

Advantages of direct suction, such as the Bep 5.0 robot vacuum cleaner has, are less wear and tear and fewer tangled hairs, but on carpet or with coarser dirt, this method is often slightly less powerful.

🧹 2. Central brush with suction power

Many robot vacuum cleaners use a central rotating brush, often in combination with a suction opening. This brush:

• Lifts dirt from carpet
• Sweeps dust and crumbs towards the suction nozzle
• Is effective against pet hair

This suction method is more versatile and powerful, making it suitable for both hard floors and (low-pile) carpet. For households with pets, this is often the best choice.

🌀 3. Turbo brush + side brushes

In more advanced models, the central brush is supported by:

• Turbo brushes: extra powerful, for deeper cleaning
  
• Side brushes: sweep dirt from corners and along baseboards inwards

This combination ensures that no speck of dust is missed, even in hard-to-reach places. This method is used in the Jannie and Willem robot vacuum cleaners.

Suction method + mopping function

Our robot vacuum cleaners can also vacuum with mopping at the same time. Here, the robot first sucks up the dirt, after which a damp cloth is pulled over the floor for an extra fresh finish. These models are ideal for hard floors and are becoming increasingly popular in modern households.

Conclusion: robot vacuum cleaners have smart and efficient suction methods

Whether you choose a model with direct suction, a powerful brush roll, or a combination with a mopping function — Zoef Robot's robot vacuum cleaners are designed to clean your floors thoroughly and autonomously. Thanks to smart sensors and powerful motors, many models even automatically adjust the suction power to the type of floor.

Are you unsure which suction method best suits your home?

Use our selection guide and discover in a few steps which robot vacuum cleaner best suits your wishes and situation!

When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, it is essential to understand the differences between the models.

They can be divided into three categories: good, better, and best. In the "good" category are basic robot vacuum cleaners that vacuum the floor but drive randomly through the house and may skip parts.

The "better" models clean more systematically, have a navigation method, and automatically return to the charging station.

The best robot vacuum cleaners offer advanced features, such as laser scans and app control, allowing them to detect obstacles and automatically resume cleaning after charging.

Still having trouble choosing? Then go to our choice helper and find your robot vacuum cleaner.

The best price-quality ratio in the "better robot vacuum cleaners" category is without a doubt Jannie 4.1.
In the "Best robot vacuum cleaners" category, Willem 2.0 is the best choice when it comes to price-quality ratio, and Bep 5.0 is the best choice for people with pet hair.

Yes, all our models can be used with Alexa and Google assistance. However, it may be necessary to use an app other than the Zoef Robot Smart app for this.

All robot vacuum cleaners from Zoef Robot work with our own "Zoef Robot Smart App". This is easy to use and, of course, in Dutch.

Can I set schedules and zones?

Yes, with the accompanying Zoef Robot smart app for your robot vacuum cleaner, you can easily set schedules for when the robot should start cleaning. This means you can have the robot vacuum automatically at certain times, without having to think about it yourself. You can also set specific rooms or zones, so the robot focuses on certain areas in your home, while other parts are skipped (This is not possible with Jannie 4.1).

Dutch Voice

Our robots all speak Dutch, recorded by our own employee, so instructions and notifications are all clearly understandable. Also very useful for our visually impaired and blind fellow human beings.

Floor Plans

Our models Willem and Bep are equipped with a laser and can therefore create floor plans of rooms and floors.
In the app, you can view the floor plan of your house that the robot vacuum cleaner has scanned. This gives you a visual overview of the areas that have already been cleaned and those that still need to be cleaned.
It is possible to save multiple floor plans for different floors, so the robot vacuums where you want it to.

No Go Zones and Virtual Walls

With the app, you can set NoGo Zones and virtual walls. This means you can mark certain areas where the robot is not allowed to go, such as near pet bowls or delicate furniture. Virtual walls are particularly useful for blocking rooms where you prefer the robot not to enter.

Jannie 4.1 creates a map with its gyroscope, however, this is not saved and is only to allow Jannie to drive efficiently through the room. Passages can be blocked by means of a magnetic strip (optionally available).

Adjust Suction Power and Water Quantity

Depending on the floor and the dirt level, you can adjust the suction power and the amount of water the robot vacuum cleaner uses via the app. This allows you to optimally set up the robot for different cleaning needs, from light daily cleaning to intensive cleaning of stubborn dirt.

Emptying Station and Self-Cleaning Station

Our Bep 5.0 and Willem 2.0 are also available with an emptying station and Willem 2.0 with a self-cleaning station. With these versions, you can, for example, set in the app how often they empty and clean. Of course, they will give notifications if there is too little water when emptying.

Yes, all robots automatically return to the charging station to recharge for the next cleaning.

Our robots Bep 5.0 and Willem can continue where they left off because they create an accurate map of the home. Jannie 4.1 cannot do this.

All robots automatically return to the charging station to recharge for the next cleaning session.

Battery life varies by model and is listed on each model's product page under specifications.

Our models Willem 2.0 and Bep 5.0 have extra large batteries, allowing them to work longer and clean large areas. Up to 250m2.

The robot vacuum cleaners with only a vacuum function and large dustbin have a capacity of +/- 700mL.

For the versions with a mop, the dust capacity is between 300 and 400mL.

The Bep 5.0 and the Willem 2.0 are both versions with a mop and can also be expanded with an emptying station.

Every Zoef Robot robot vacuum cleaner has its own advantages. For example, Jannie 4.1 is a very good robot vacuum cleaner that excels in simple operation with a remote control and ease of use.

Bep 5.0 is our specialist for people with a lot of pet hair and our Willem is the premium model which is equipped with extensive maps and navigation, a large battery and can be expanded with an emptying station or self-cleaning station.

Below are the most important features at a glance;

Jannie 4.1:

Gyroscope ensures structured cleaning without repeated spots.
2-in-1 dustbin/water tank enables simultaneous vacuuming and mopping.
Smart navigation and optionally available magnetic strips.
Remote control for easy operation.

Bep 5.0

Especially for people with pets. Thanks to its extreme suction power of up to 20000Pa, it sucks all hairs in.
No tangled hairs around the main brush. Extensive navigation and maps with room layouts and virtual walls and No-go zones.
Assemble your own version so you get exactly what you find important.
For example, choose a version with a rotating mopping system for extra good mopping.
Or the version with an emptying station or just with only a vacuuming function.

Willem 2.0

Very powerful robot vacuum cleaner with extensive laser and maps with many functionalities.
Choice of different versions so that it perfectly matches your wishes. For example:
Standard version equipped with a large 700mL dustbin
Rotating mop version which lifts the mops as soon as carpet is detected.
Emptying station so you don't have to worry about emptying the dustbin.
Self-cleaning station which automatically fills the robot with water, empties the dustbin and cleans and dries the mops.

Unfortunately, that is not true. When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, it is essential to consider your expectations and needs.

More luxurious models better meet high expectations. However, there are always places where a robot vacuum cleaner or robot mop cannot reach, such as baseboards, stairs, window sills, behind the radiator, and so on. For these vacuuming jobs, you still need a vacuum cleaner.

The robot vacuum cleaner does ensure that you have to use it less often. In addition, it is important that you prepare the room yourself and make it 'robot vacuum cleaner-ready'. This means that you move obstacles a little out of the way, such as chairs and plugs. This ensures that the robot vacuum cleaner can do most of the work without problems.

Zoef Robot offers various robot vacuum cleaners that help you clean your home. Proper installation and regular maintenance ensure that your robot vacuum cleaner continues to perform optimally. The popular model, Willem, is (optionally) equipped with an emptying station where the dust is automatically emptied, making maintenance even easier. Below you will find step-by-step instructions for installation and maintenance tips to keep your Zoef Robot in top condition.

1. Unpacking the robot vacuum cleaner and Placing the charging station / Emptying station / Self-cleaning station
   Place the charging station on a flat surface with enough space in front and on the sides and no objects in the way. This gives the robot enough space to easily dock and start.
   Connect the charging station to a power outlet. Make sure the charging station is stable and receiving power.
2. First Charge of the robot vacuum cleaner
   Place the robot vacuum cleaner on the charging station and let it fully charge. It is best to fully charge the robot vacuum cleaner the first time for a better battery life, but this ensures optimal battery operation.
3. Emptying station (for Willem and Bep 5.0) or Self-cleaning station (Willem 2.0)
   Willem and Bep 5.0 are optionally equipped with an emptying station, which automatically empties the dustbin after each cleaning session. The emptying station is also a charging station where the robot vacuum cleaner automatically recharges itself after each vacuuming. Make sure the emptying station is properly connected and placed. This makes manual emptying of the dustbin unnecessary, which provides more convenience.
   
   In addition, Willem has the option of a Self-cleaning station that also takes over all tasks for mopping, such as cleaning your mops and filling the robot with water. So just fill the self-cleaning station with water, connect it, and let Willem do the work for you.
4. Installation of the Zoef Robot smart app
   Download the Zoef Robot smart app and connect the robot to your Wi-Fi. This allows you to control the robot vacuum cleaner remotely, set cleaning schedules, and view cleaning reports.

Regular maintenance is important for a long lifespan and good performance of your Zoef Robot robotic vacuum cleaner.

How often you perform this maintenance depends on the usage and the environment in which the robot is used.

Below are the most important points for maintaining a robotic vacuum cleaner:

1. Emptying the Dustbin (for models without an emptying station or self-cleaning station)
   If your robotic vacuum cleaner does not have an emptying station or self-cleaning station, you must manually empty the dustbin. It is best to do this after each cleaning session or at least weekly.
   Remove the dustbin, open the lid, and empty the contents into the trash. If necessary, wipe the inside of the bin with a soft, dry cloth.
2. Emptying Station Maintenance (for Willem and Bep 5.0)
   For the Willem model, the emptying station automatically empties the dustbin. Check the dust bag in the emptying station monthly, or when the device indicates it is full, and replace the bag if necessary.
3. Self-Cleaning Station
   For the Willem 2.0 model, the Self-Cleaning Station automatically empties the dustbin. Check the dust bag in the emptying station monthly, or when the device indicates it is full, and replace the bag if necessary.
   In addition, there is a clean water tank and a dirty water tank. The clean water tank must be refilled as soon as it runs empty. The dirty water tank must be emptied occasionally so that the self-cleaning station can clean the mops again. Of course, you will automatically receive notifications about this in the Zoef Robot Smart app.
4. Cleaning and Replacing Filters
   Zoef Robot vacuum cleaners have filters that collect dust and keep the airflow clean. Clean the filters weekly by gently tapping them out. Replace the filters every 2-3 months for best performance.
5. Maintaining Brushes
   The side brushes and main brush collect a lot of dust and dirt during cleaning. Check the brushes weekly for accumulated dirt, such as hair, and remove it. Replace brushes if they are worn to ensure your robotic vacuum cleaner continues to operate efficiently.
   

By following these steps, you ensure that your Zoef Robot robotic vacuum cleaner functions optimally and has a longer lifespan.
