Introduction
Over time, the suction motor may experience a decline in its performance, leading the vacuum to necessitate more frequent maintenance. If your robotic vacuum encounters difficulties in maintaining suction, exhibits irregular behavior during operation, or doesn't operate at its full suction capacity, these are indicators that the suction motor may be deteriorating.
Adhering to proper maintenance practices and following the manufacturer's guidelines can extend the lifespan of the suction motor. Additionally, advancements in motor technology provide more robust replacement options.
