How we choose
See what we check when comparing robot vacuums, including layout, floor type, maintenance and automation, plus what you should still verify before buying.
Choose the shortlist that best matches your floors, household and preferred level of automation.
A broad starting point before narrowing by budget, floor type, pet hair, mopping or dock automation.
For tighter budgets, with extra checks on navigation, suction claims, app setup and consumables.
For buyers prioritising less day-to-day emptying and enough space for a larger dock.
For homes with pets, with extra attention to brush maintenance and mixed-floor trade-offs.
Use them to narrow your options, then confirm current specifications, app requirements, consumable costs, price, stock and returns with the retailer.
