Robot vacuum cleaner sweeps fur so you don't have to

HOUSE cleaning is more arduous with indoor pets. Cats and dogs, even the short-haired ones, shed regularly, so routine sweeping is necessary or your floor will soon be carpeted with pet hair.

But not everyone has time to always clean after their pets, so your place gets “hairy” before you can pick up the broom and dustpan again. One solution is to use one of these cylindrical robot vacuum cleaners that can sweep your fur littered floor as often as you want.

​Online shops offer a wide range of smart vacuum cleaners that can perform cursory sweeping while you do other things. One of the cheapest brands we found online is the Tocool TC-350 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Remote Control that costs from P2,999 to P3,299 depending on the color. 

This little machine is a life saver as it does the sweeping for you, even in hard to reach places such as under your bed, table and cabinets. Plus it gives pets, cats most especially, some moment of entertainment as they follow the vacuum cleaner around.

The Tocool TC-350 Robot Vacuum Cleaner has two side brushes, a sensor and a wheel at the front and back. It has a dirt collector inside the size of a kid's lunch box. Ideally, we prefer a bigger dirt bin but maybe the more expensive brands and models will have it.

It's a hardworking robot that will keep on going around the room and in every nook and cranny as long as its battery allows. The battery fully charges overnight and then it works for a long time. 

The remote control lets you direct where the Tocool TC-350 should sweep but it's better to just let it carry on with its task so you can do yours, too. So far, we've not seen it get stuck in a corner or tight spot. After some maneuverings, it always finds a way to set itself free and continue sweeping. 

When it's on, this clever sweeper automatically stops working if you pick it up, but instantly resumes when replaced on the floor. Always clean the dirt receptacle, the brushes and the wheels after use as some fur tends to coil around these parts. 

We recommend this or any similar type of robot vacuum cleaner to those with free roaming pets inside their homes. This modern appliance helps keep the fur and other dirt on the floor to a minimum at the push of a button. It's truly the little helper that could.

Here's a short clip during the first time our resident cat reviewer took the Tocool TC-350 out for a spin.

I love my robot and I would like to recommend it to everyone. I have two cats in my house and it picks up the cat hair better than my old vacuum cleaner. I personally purchased this one for my wife, since she seems like she could never get ahead of the cat hair balls all year round. She definitely loves it.

How is it now? Still using it?

Yes, Cyrus, it's still working as intended. We did notice something though after prolonged use: because the dirt collector is a bit small, if you are vacuuming a lot, it gets filled up easily and sometimes fur gets collected outside the pan. When that happens, you'll need to pull the fur and dirt out. We use tweezers to that job.

Thanks for the feedback, I've been scouting around for robot cleaners because my 4 cats are such a furry handful. Glad I read your review before buying the more expensive models on Lazada! Is it also able to pick up bits of kitty litter?

Hi Rezza, yes it can pick up bits of this and that, but it's a programmed thing so it tends to move to another direction even before completely sweeping everything in front of it. It'll get around it after a cycle or two.

Great tips. Another area I try to clean once a month are my wooden shutters. Dust just clings there. I use the swiffer dusters and they work amazingly!
