However, many newcomers still have lingering questions when they get introduced to these smart vacuum cleaners. They have some reasonable doubts about the abilities and efficiency of these little machines. Read on if you have the same questions because we are going to put them at rest.
Do Robot Vacuum Cleaners Work?
Yes, according to experts at The King Live. Forget everything you have heard about robot vacuums before. The industry has witnessed tremendous advancements in this area. They are just some bumper machines that people often found lacking before. Connectivity issues also gave them a bad look.

Recent models manufacturers have put out to the market are the real deals, especially when it comes from high-end brands.
It is still true that traditional designs like uprights can do a more thorough job. The suction of robot vacuums can't really match their older competitors due to their less powerful motors. As a result, there is a big gap in cleaning performance, especially in a single pass.
High-end robot vacuums, however, are often equipped with advanced detection features. They can help the machine to find out areas they need to pay extra attention to and clean again. This can make up for the drop in suction power to some extent.
Additionally, recent models have better navigation systems. They have upgraded sensors and algorithms, allowing them to map your flooring with ease.
Robot vacuums in the first generations typically relied on the "hope for the best" approach. They move on a random pattern to try as much flooring area as possible. This isn't really an efficient method, and it still results in some missed spots.
Smarter models don't do that. They plan movement paths based on your mapped floor and follow side-by-side lines, just as when humans clean with a traditional vacuum.
If you vacuum your floor on a daily basis, then a vacuum can do that too. Even when it misses an area today, it may catch it tomorrow and you will still have a clean floor.
Are Robot Mops Safe For Bare Floors?
There are plenty of reasons to be meticulous in the use of your expensive hardwood floors. You should worry about debris and dust as much as wine spills or shoe prints.
There is no need to panic about robot vacuums or mops, however. Most of them can work on bare floors without scratching them. Thanks to the gentle rubber brushes and wheels, they don't gnaw on your hardwood floors.
Robot mops mostly use water to get the trick done. This should alleviate your concerns about damaging cleaning ingredients like alkaline-based products, ammonia, or vinegar. You don't need to put in soap either since it can mess up with the interior parts of a vacuum cleaner.
They can also come in handy in other situations, such as when you have yellow stuff on your floor. To remove it, follow the guide on How to clean discolored Vinyl flooring.
Conclusion
You should have no trouble using a robot vacuum cleaner on your hardwood floor. The vast majority of them are safe for bare floors while providing a convenient cleaning method for a lot of households.

The Quechua Base Seconds stopped being made a few years ago. I have come across a very similar looking tent online but don't know of anybody that has bought one. It looks pretty much like they copied the Quechua tent.

We use the Screendome. The decision about separate tents is whether you have 2 volunteers running it. 2 in one tent with say 3 people around would get claustrophobic even pre-social distancing.
We bought 3 tents and usually use 2. They've been no trouble. It's worth the extra few £ for the storm kit (extra guys), we lost our previous tent in a gale in the soft South of England.
We find it easy to erect and pack away. There's a video on their website showing 1-person erection in 1 minute. That's doable if said person has arms as long as mine, but no problem with 2 normal people.
When we bought ours (Nov 2019) there was a very good offer, something like 50% off if you bought 2. Worth asking.
