• Mostly hard floors (laminate, tiles, wood, PVC)3, 3 models
• A mix, with rugs or some carpet3, 3 models
• Mostly carpet0, 0 models

With carpet and rugs the robot must lift or drop its mop, or the rug gets wet. Or you put the rug in a no-go zone, so the robot skips it and does not drive on it.

• Yes, long hair (no pets)0, 0 models
