Robot vacuum set up properly so it knows your home and cleans on schedule. I'll connect it to WiFi, map your rooms, set no-go zones, and show you how to use and maintain it.
### Turn Your Expensive Floor Roomba Into an Actual Useful Robot
Bought a robot vacuum expecting futuristic cleaning, but it's either **stuck under the sofa, eating cables, or** sitting in the box because the app setup defeated you? You're not alone. These things are brilliant when set up right, absolutely useless when they're not.
Let me get it working properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The £200 robot vacuums and the £800 ones work on the same principle - mapping, navigation, scheduling. The expensive ones just have better sensors and bigger bins. Setup process is similar for all of them.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple floors?** Most robot vacuums can store multiple maps. I'll set up maps for upstairs and downstairs if you plan to carry it between floors. **Pet hair mode?** If you've got shedding pets, I'll show you the high-power modes and recommended brush cleaning frequency. Pet hair is what kills most robot vacuum brushes. **Smart home integration?** If you've got Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit, I can link your vacuum so you can start cleaning with voice commands. "Alexa, start the downstairs vacuum" is surprisingly satisfying.
Frequently Asked Questions about Robot vacuum setup in Tiverton
What's involved in setting up a robot vacuum?
It's not just unboxing it and pressing go. You need to connect it to WiFi, download and set up the app, run a mapping cycle so it learns your home, set no-go zones for areas you want it to avoid, create a cleaning schedule, and understand emptying and maintenance. Takes about an hour if you know what you're doing.
I've got a Roomba/Shark/Eufy - do you know my model?
Probably - I've set up most brands and models. They all work slightly differently, especially the mapping and scheduling. If yours is brand new and I haven't seen it before, I'll figure it out - they all follow similar logic once you know one.
Can you set it to avoid certain areas?
Yes - that's one of the key things. Set no-go zones for pet bowls, cable areas, rugs that get eaten, rooms you want left alone. I'll show you how to add or change zones yourself too, in case your needs change.
It keeps getting stuck in the same place - can you fix that?
Usually yes. Often it's about setting a no-go zone, moving charging base, or removing obstacles it can't detect (like dark furniture that confuses the sensors). I'll work out what's catching it and sort it.
Will you show me how to use the app and empty it?
Yes - that's half the job. You need to know how to start it manually, how to see where it's cleaned, how to change the schedule, and how to maintain it (empty bin, clean brushes, replace filters). I don't leave until you're confident.
