How this report is made
- A price is an offer a buyer could order that day. A sold-out day is no price, a failed check keeps the price before it, and a price our checks hold back as unlikely is left out.
- The price change follows each model at the same shop from that shop’s first day in the month to its last, and averages the changes (a geometric mean). A shop we read on fewer than 14 days of the month is left out of it, so a shop new to us never reads as a price drop.
- Only shops based in the Netherlands count, at their own prices. A foreign shop that delivers here is left out, with its estimated delivery and tax.
- The shops in the price change, with the first day we read each: Amazon.nl (17 Sept), Coolblue (17 Sept), Dreame (brand store) (17 Sept), iRobot (brand store) (17 Sept), MOVA (brand store) (17 Sept) and Roborock (brand store) (17 Sept). Read too briefly for the price change, but counted in the prices at the end of the month: eufy (brand store) (18 Sept), Narwal (brand store) (18 Sept), bol.com (28 Sept), Bosch (brand store) (29 Sept), CAPS (29 Sept), CoolSound (29 Sept), EP (29 Sept), Expert (29 Sept), Rowenta (brand store) (29 Sept), tink (29 Sept) and Xiaomi (brand store) (29 Sept).
- Our prices here start on 17 September 2026, so this report measures 14 days and not the whole month.
- Made on 5 October 2026 from our own price checks and not changed since, so a figure quoted from it stays true.
