How to Create No-Go Zones and Virtual Boundaries on a Robot Vacuum

Your robot vacuum cleaner can help you clean exactly where you want and not go where you don’t want it to go. You can set boundaries and create no-go zones with your robot vacuum cleaner to stop it from cleaning areas you don’t want cleaned.

You can set these invisible boundaries with the help of your robot vacuum cleaner’s app. These robot vacuum no-go zones can help to make your cleaning more efficient and protect the sensitive areas of your home.

In this guide, we’ll explain how the virtual boundaries work and how to set them up for the best cleaning experience.

What Are Virtual Boundaries?

It simply means you are putting an invisible wall for your robot vacuum cleaner. You can do this after you map your home. You can use the app of your robot vacuum cleaner to draw these boundaries. Your vacuum robot would then avoid those areas and clean elsewhere.

You can change or remove the virtual boundary using the app of your robot vacuum cleaner.

What Are No-Go Zones?

The no-go zones are where your robot vacuum cleaner is not allowed to go in your house. This can be used for areas in your home that have fragile items.

• You can use it for the area where your pet food is kept
• You can also use it for areas with small toys
• This can also be used to make your robot vacuum avoid areas with loose cables
• You can use it for thick carpets while mopping

How to Set Up Robot Vacuum Virtual Boundaries

You can create a virtual boundary for your robot vacuum cleaner using the app.

Step 1: Complete Home Mapping

You should first let the robot vacuum cleaner map your home completely. The robot would need your floor map to identify restricted areas.

Step 2: Open the Mobile App

Open the app for your robot vacuum cleaner and then choose the map of your floor. Haier’s robot vacuum cleaner comes with 5-map memory and an easy-to-use app system to access them.

Step 3: Select the Boundary Tool

You should choose the restriction you want to put on a certain area.

• No-Go Zone
• Virtual Wall
• Restricted Area

You might have different options based on the model of your robot vacuum.

Step 4: Draw the Restricted Area

You should then create a restricted area or a no-go zone using the app of your robot vacuum cleaner.

• A no-go zone is rectangular
• A virtual wall is a straight line

The robot would then avoid these areas of your house while cleaning it.

When Should You Use No-Go Zones?

You can use the virtual boundary feature of your robot vacuum cleaner in many different situations.

• It can be used around the pet areas
• It can be used for your children’s play spaces
• It can be used for home offices
• You can use it for delicate rugs
• You can also use it for decorative furniture
