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.
Consumables: no dust bags to buy, the station collects the dust in a bin.
Suction and brushes 2 facts
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Suitable for pet hair
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
- yes
Dock 8 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
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- yes
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 45 days
- Washes the mop
The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.
- no
- Dries the mop
The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.
- no
- Hot-air drying
Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.
- no
- Dispenses detergent
The dock mixes detergent into the water itself, from its own bottle.
- no
- Plumbing hookup
The dock can be connected to the tap and the drain, so you never fill or empty a tank. It does need a connection nearby.
- no
Navigation and obstacles 1 fact
- 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
Robot 1 fact
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with an auto-empty dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 190 ml
Battery 1 fact
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.

Smart features and warranty 2 facts

- 1 year
- Scheduled runs
You set days and times, and the robot starts by itself, also when you are not at home.
- yes
