Pet hair is a maintenance question
Robot vacuums can help with routine pickup, but pet hair changes brush cleaning, bin emptying, dock placement and filter maintenance. Check the chore you are buying into.
Check floor type and thresholds
Mixed flooring, rugs, thresholds, cable clutter and pet bowls can all affect whether the robot fits the home. Map the route before comparing features.
Check no-go and obstacle needs
Some homes need strong no-go controls or obstacle handling. Others only need simple daily pickup. Do not overpay for features that do not solve your actual layout.
