Clean Up With Roidmi’s F8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

When it comes to technology, the whole purpose of electronics is to make life easier in one way or the other. But wen it comes to the home, people tend to pass over ways to improve basic tasks that need to be done over time in favor of the latest “shiny” device like a smartphone or TV. But how necessary is it to clean the floors, pick up spills and remove pet hair from where you live? Pretty important, is the answer. And all that requires a vacuum cleaner. Which has evolved from a cumbersome plugged in cord dragging model into battery powered models that even integrate with apps. So when the Roidmi F8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is taken out of the closet and readied for the day’s work, it’s not just about a saner, easier on the back and easier overall way to clean — it’s about doing that cleaning more effectively and efficiently than otherwise could be done.

Driving the F8 is the motor which is of course powered by a rechargeable battery. Recharging takes place on a small magnetic docking device that can be placed anywhere desired, providing that there is a wall outlet for powering/charging the F8 when placed on it. Battery life is of course paramount — otherwise one would quickly get bored with having to use, recharge, use, etc. — and varies thanks to having two speeds, with one providing a lot more power although it does eat up battery life. As to battery life in use, there’s enough power for the average job but of course it depends on the specifics. Just don’t think you can get out of cleaning because there won’t be power after 10 minutes has gone by. And as expected the suction power of the F8 is more than able to handle the tasks assigned to it, being 18500pa potency.

The next thing to consider is how much detriment the F8 can contain, how it does that and whether there’s blowback to the user that says wearing a face mask might be a good idea. It’s not, because this stick stores the junk it’s collected inside a moderately sized cup that can be easily emptied (and so done in the midst of being used or afterwards). A HEPA filtration system aids in filtering out the muck that can be problematic, and there’s no blowback so that face mask idea, which might be a good one if another stick vacuum was in play, just doesn’t carry any weight here.

The F8 is what is now the conventional “stick” shape, where one end has the roller (and can be swapped out for others) and the other end houses the motor and the detriment that is being swept up. For those who have yet to switch from that heavy corded vacuum to a stick, the biggest draw might be how much easier a stick is to maneuver. In the case of the F8, it’s well balanced for pushing against a surface (like a hardwood floor) and continuing to do so because that’s a repetitive task required. Through that balancing act, the F8 doesn’t put a strain on the hand or on the overall neck/back of the person wielding it — enabling the person to use it for longer periods of time without having to take break (or discovering pains in hitherto unknown places later). Because the handle has an ergonomic design, it can be held at the top as well as the traditional way of gripping the handle (this is easier to do than say), and what it means is that maneuvering becomes more efficient and the work of cleaning also.

It’s also highly helpful that instead of having LEDs lighting up all the time at the roller, in this case the LEDs turn themselves on when the illumination is low (or nonexistent).

Finally we get to what enables the F8 to do its job. That’s partly the motor supplying the suction, but it’s also the roller at the end of the “stick” that is being used. This “soft” roller is well suited for hardwood floors and doesn’t give up at small detriment that has fallen into cracks or piled up. Should you wish to exchange it for a “harder” roller that can be used on carpeting (as well as hardwood), you can — but if it’s carpeting that is calling out, it makes more sense to exchange the “soft” roller for the carbon roller. Accessories include a crevice tool (featuring a hose combination that is unique to the F8) as well as others designed to aid in cleaning.

There’s also an app that can integrate with the F8 and perform housekeeping chores (a useful one being to remind you when it’s time to replace the filter). But the app can’t direct the vacuum around on its own — you’re still going to have to be the one “telling” it where to go and when to “attack.”

The Roidmi F8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is not priced at a premium but looks better, has a better “build” and performs significantly better than those so-called budget stick vacuums. A house or an apartment, small or large, the F8 performs its job and just expects you to keep it maintained in order for it to function well.
