Floors

• Does not matter37, 37 models
• Mostly hard floors (laminate, tiles, wood, PVC)37, 37 models
• A mix, with rugs or some carpet2, 2 models
• Mostly carpet2, 2 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)30, 30 models
• No37, 37 models

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

Thresholds

• Does not matter37, 37 models
• Up to 2 cm, or none37, 37 models
• Higher than 2 cm, up to 4 cm0, 0 models
• Higher than 4 cm0, 0 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

• Not needed39, 39 models
• Freshening is enough37, 37 models
• Yes, real mopping0, 0 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

• Does not matter37, 37 models
• Emptying the bin myself is fine37, 37 models
• As little as possible: it may empty itself37, 37 models
• Nothing: everything automatic, mop included0, 0 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.
