About HouseholdRobot.net

What We Are

HouseholdRobot.net is a technical database, not a traditional review site. We collect, verify, and present objective specifications for household robots across six categories: robot vacuums, robotic lawn mowers, pool cleaners, window cleaners, robot mops, and companion robots.

Think of us as the Rtings.com meets Wikipedia for home automation. We prioritize:

• Measurable Data: Suction power (Pa), battery life (minutes), navigation technology, dimensions, noise levels
• Objective Comparisons: Side-by-side spec tables, no subjective "overall ratings"
• Technical Accuracy: All specs cross-referenced with manufacturer datasheets and verified at trade shows (CES 2026)
• Zero Marketing Fluff: We describe what a robot does, not how "amazing" it is

What We Are Not

We are not a traditional product review site. You won't find:

• Subjective "overall scores" out of 10
• Paid placements or sponsored "best of" lists
• Affiliate bias (all robots presented identically regardless of commission rates)
• Marketing language ("revolutionary," "game-changing," "must-have")
• Video reviews or unboxing content

Our Philosophy: The "100/100" Approach

Speed is a feature. We reject heavy JavaScript, excessive animations, and bloat. Every page on this site is designed to achieve a 100/100 Google PageSpeed score through:

• Zero-JavaScript architecture (pure HTML + CSS)
• System fonts only (no web font downloads)
• Text-first content structure (no images above the fold)
• SVG icons instead of photo graphics
• Optimized for mobile-first experience

We believe the fastest way to deliver information is through well-structured text and data tables. Users searching for technical specs don't need animations—they need answers.

How We Review Robots

1. Data Collection

We build structured datasets (CSV/JSON format) containing:

• Technical specifications from manufacturer datasheets
• Measurements from trade show demonstrations (CES, IFA)
• Firmware capabilities and software features
• Price history and market positioning

2. Verification

Every specification is cross-referenced against:

• Official product documentation
• Manufacturer press releases
• Third-party testing results (when available)
• User manual technical appendices

3. Comparison Generation

Once verified data enters our database, we programmatically generate:

• Category pages: All robots in a category sorted by key specs
• Comparison pages: Head-to-head matchups highlighting differences
• "Best For" guides: Filtered results for specific constraints (pet hair, steep slopes, budget)

4. Monthly Updates

The household robot market moves quickly. We update our database:

• When new models launch
• After major firmware updates that change capabilities
• When prices change significantly (>15%)
• Following manufacturer spec corrections or recalls

Why We Started This

Existing robot vacuum review sites suffer from three problems:

1. Affiliate Bias: "Best" lists skewed toward high-commission products
2. Subjective Scoring: A "9/10" rating tells you nothing about whether it works on your carpet type
3. Missing Specs: Reviews focus on unboxing experience instead of technical capabilities

We believed there was space for a data-first approach. Users who know they need "LiDAR navigation for 2,500 sq ft with 180+ minute battery life" shouldn't have to watch 10-minute YouTube videos to find that information.

Revenue Model Transparency

HouseholdRobot.net uses Amazon affiliate links on product pages. When you click "Check price on Amazon," we may earn a small commission if you purchase.

Important: Our database structure is identical for all products regardless of affiliate commission rates. A robot with a 1% commission receives the same data presentation as one with 8%. The specs decide the ranking, not the payout.

We believe this approach maintains editorial integrity while sustaining the site's operation and database maintenance costs.
