Vacuum cleaners vs. robot vacuums - which one is better for cleaning laminate floors?

Vacuum cleaners vs. robot vacuums - a topic that never gets old. There are many reasons for people to support one of these cleaning machines. Today, we will compare one of the best rated vacuums: Shark Apex Upright Vacuum, with one of the best robot vacuums: Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum. Which one is better in terms of cleaning laminate floors? Let the battle begin!

Round 1: Cleaning test

For team vacuum cleaners, Shark Apex Upright is a powerful model which has the amazing DuoClean technology. Typical models usually have issues with cleaning big debris. Despite having strong suction power, those vacuum cleaners scatter piles of debris around like a snow-plow truck. Then collect them one by one instead of collecting them all right away. But this is not the case for the Shark Apex Upright. Thanks to DuoClean technology, this Shark vacuum cleaner can collect various debris on the first try, no matter big or small. The front roller that contacts laminate floors is soft, so the surface is safe from the cleaning process. The self-cleaning brush roll is also a plus point for the Shark Apex Upright. No one likes to clean a hair-tangled brush roll in the middle after a tiresome cleaning session.

However, team robot vacuums are not less competitive in the cleaning test. Known as one of the best vacuum cleaner brands in the robot vacuums category, Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum cleans faster and more efficiently than any other model. Robot vacuums don’t create snow-plow action on piles of debris, but not all models can collect as much debris at first go like the Roborock S5. This model has suction power as strong as famous professional handheld vacuums. This robot vacuum has self-adjusting brush technology, which will protect your laminate floor’s smooth surface. Even though the Roborock S5 doesn’t have a self-cleaning brush roll, the thing is simple to clean due to its size and easy to detach.

In conclusion, team vacuum cleaners have the upper hand in this round.     

Round 2: Polishing test

When it comes to polishing, once again, we have to thank the soft front roller of the Shark Apex Upright. This baby can clean and polish your laminate floors simultaneously. The front roller collects all debris and sends them to the back brush roll. At the same time, the soft material gives the material’s surface extra shine. Some customers say the same result happens to hardwood floors. But if you want a better polishing result, you have to use a different method to really pop up the shiny effect of laminate floors.

On the other hand, the Roborock S5 has more advantages in polishing laminate floors. With the Bionic Mopping System, this baby is the best rated vacuum to make your laminate floors shiny. The robot vacuum controls water level while mopping to protect laminate and also hardwood floors, so you don’t have to worry about streaks or dull spots on your flawless surface. The best part is, you can choose a specific spot you want this baby to mop instead of doing the whole thing yourself.

The result is, team robot vacuums are the winner of this round.

Final judgment

Both Shark Apex Upright and Roborock S5 have their ups and downs in the battle. But we can’t deny they’re the best vacuum in the world for cleaning laminate floors. If you want to clean more than just floors, especially above-ground areas, then the Shark Apex Upright is the right choice for you. But if you want all the conveniences of cleaning laminate floors, then there’s no better machine like the Roborock S5.
