Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews. * Foreign shop: delivery cost and VAT to the Netherlands estimated.

AEG AR81UW3SW specifications

The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.

Climbs thresholds up to20 mm

Mop lift on carpet10 mm

Runtime per charge208 min

Suction and brushes 1 fact

Carpet detection The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.: detects carpet and boosts suction

Mopping 2 facts

Mop type How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.: spinning pads
Mop lift on carpet How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 10 mm a medium pile stays dry.: 10 mm

Dock 5 facts

Empties the dust bin The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.: yes
Washes the mop The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.: yes
Dries the mop The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.: yes
Hot-air drying Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.: yes
Dispenses detergent The dock mixes detergent into the water itself, from its own bottle.: yes

Navigation and obstacles 3 facts

Navigation How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.: LiDAR turret
Obstacle avoidance How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.: AI camera
Climbs thresholds up to The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.: 20 mm
