Why We Chose These Models

Our selection process is 100% data-driven using objective metrics from our robots.json database:

  • Filtering: Models with carpet boost mode and 15,000Pa+ suction
  • Ranking: Sorted by primary performance metric for this category
  • Verification: All specs cross-referenced with manufacturer datasheets
  • Updated: Database refreshed monthly with new models and price changes

Buying Considerations

  • Measure furniture clearance: Most robots are 9-11cm tall. Measure your lowest furniture before buying.
  • Home size matters: 120-minute battery covers ~1,500 sq ft. Larger homes need 180+ minutes or auto-resume.
  • Obstacle avoidance: AI camera systems detect cables and pet waste. Basic sensors only detect walls.
  • Price range in this category: $799 - $2,499

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often do I need to empty the dustbin? Self-emptying bases: every 30-60 days. Bin sizes range from 400ml to 500ml in these models.
  • What does 30,000Pa actually mean? Pascal (Pa) measures air pressure. 10,000Pa is adequate for hard floors, 15,000Pa+ recommended for carpet. Our winner has 30,000Pa.
  • Does mopping actually work? Rotating pad systems scrub effectively. Vibrating pads are moderate. Static drag pads only wipe. Our picks use Rotating single pad and Extending dual pads.
