so while we've talked a lot about how robot vacuums navigator room we haven't talked a lot about how to create custom cleaning spaces for your robot vacuum I'm Meghan Willerton frissina and this is a how-to so I'm here with the neato bought back 85 the iRobot Roomba 880 and the LG home bot square and each of these robot vacuum brands have different names for the same thing Rito uses these magnetic strips they call boundary markers this is probably the most simple and straightforward method so basically you just put it down and it won't pass that threshold when it comes in contact with that magnetic barrier it'll turn around and go back the other way so the advantage of the boundary marker is that it's really simple there's no batteries no setup you just plop it down and it does its thing the disadvantage is that it's kind of an eyesore iRobot uses these virtual walls it's a bit more advanced than nito's boundary marker it requires two C batteries but it works pretty much the same way set the distance and it works as an invisible wall that the robot vacuum won't cross I like that you can set the distance on this but I don't like that it requires two C batteries LG's solution is a bit more quirky it doesn't have a physical boundary marker or a virtual wall barrier but it does have a feature called MySpace's on the remote control the way that my space works is you can drive the robot vacuum around using these arrow keys and create a perimeter of your own within any room the advantage is that you can use this via remote and you don't have any extra accessory the disadvantage is that it's kind of a novelty it might wear off pretty quickly so while these technologies are all different each one offers a solution for sectioning off your house thanks for watching I'm Megan wheeler 10% comm you
