With carpet and rugs the robot must lift or drop its mop, or the rug gets wet.

Most robots cross 0.8 in (2 cm). Higher thresholds need a climbing system. Measure under your couch too: a low robot fits underneath.

Counts only models with at least 20 reviews: with fewer, the average says little.
Hair
Hair wraps around the brush. An anti-tangle brush prevents that; a camera that recognizes droppings prevents the other well-known accident.
Mopping
- Does not matter0, 0 models
- Not needed0, 0 models
- Freshening is enough0, 0 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 matter0, 0 models
- Emptying the bin myself is fine0, 0 models
- As little as possible: it may empty itself0, 0 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 pricier it is.
Clutter
A robot with a camera recognizes small items and drives around them. Without one it drives over them or gets stuck.
Low furniture
It must also fit under low furniture (less than 3.5 in, or 9 cm, of room)
Plumbing hookup
The dock must connect to the water supply and the drain, so I never fill or empty a tank (with a separate kit on some models)
