How we keep pages current
We update guides when model availability changes, firmware/app behavior shifts, or real-world ownership patterns repeat. Each page includes “Last updated” notes so you can trust freshness.
What we evaluate
The criteria behind every pick| Category | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Mapping reliability, obstacle handling, room coverage | Fewer missed spots, fewer “stuck” moments |
| Pickup | Debris pickup on hard floors and carpets | Better daily cleanliness with less babysitting |
| Mopping | Stain handling, edge reach, water control | Cleaner floors without over-wetting |
| Maintenance | Brush tangles, bin emptying, filter availability | Lower ongoing hassle and cost |
| Noise & usability | Sound levels, app stability, scheduling control | Better day-to-day experience |
