What to look for in an Airbnb robot vacuum
Two customers: cleaner and guest. The vacuum serves your turnover crew ten times for every guest touch. Buy for the cleaner: light, cordless, reliable charge — a dead or clogged vacuum extends every turnover by 20 minutes.
Cordless for turnover speed. Corded uprights clean marginally deeper; cordless sticks clean the whole house before checkout at 11 and check-in at 3. In turnover math, speed wins.
Guests use it more than you'd think. Families with kids and long-stay guests expect a visible vacuum. Its presence reads as 'this place is actually cleaned' — a subtle review-score input.
How many do you need?
One cordless stick per floor (or one plus the spare battery), a broom/dustpan, and a mop matched to your flooring — all in a labeled closet guests can find.
Care and replacement
Empty and rinse filters weekly (turnover crew task), replace batteries at year two, and keep the subscription filter/bag reorder on autopilot.
