Floors

• Mostly hard floors (laminate, tiles, wood, PVC)188, 188 models
• A mix, with rugs or some carpet188, 188 models
• Mostly carpet136, 136 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.

Hair

• Yes, long hair (no pets)136, 136 models
• No188, 188 models

Hair wraps around the brush. An anti-tangle brush prevents that. A camera that recognises droppings prevents the other well-known accident.

Thresholds

• Up to 2 cm, or none188, 188 models
• Higher than 2 cm, up to 4 cm14, 14 models
• Higher than 4 cm6, 6 models

Most robots cross 2 cm. Higher thresholds need a climbing system. Measure under your sofa too: a low robot fits underneath.

A robot with a camera recognises small items and drives around them. Without one it drives over them or gets stuck.

Mopping

• Does not matter188, 188 models
• Not needed188, 188 models
• Freshening is enough185, 185 models
• Yes, real mopping106, 106 models

Mopping freshens the floor. Real stains rarely come off. Spinning or roller mops paired with self-cleaning stations deliver the most effective floor cleaning.

Upkeep

• Emptying the bin myself is fine188, 188 models
• As little as possible: it may empty itself183, 183 models
• Nothing: everything automatic, mop included106, 106 models

A station can empty the bin, wash and dry the mop and refill water. The more it does, the bigger and dearer it is.
