5 Things to Know About Robot Vacuum Mapping

Mapping vacuums create a digital floor plan of your home in the app. This lets you see the layout and control cleaning zones.

You can tell the vacuum to clean specific rooms or areas. It will skip rooms you mark as off-limits.

Mapping improves cleaning efficiency. The vacuum follows a logical path instead of bumping around randomly.

Most mapping vacuums save multiple floor plans. This is useful if you have a multi-story home.

Mapping is the main reason to pay more for a robot vacuum. Without it, you lose the ability to control where it cleans.
