Hairpets
Hair wraps around the brush. An anti-tangle brush prevents that; a camera that recognizes droppings prevents the other well-known accident.
Moppingnot needed

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

- Mostly carpet0, 0 models
With carpet and rugs the robot must lift or drop its mop, or the rug gets wet.
Upkeep

- 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.
Thresholds
- Does not matter0, 0 models
- Up to 0.8 in (2 cm), or none0, 0 models
- Higher than 0.8 in (2 cm), up to 1.6 in (4 cm)0, 0 models
- Higher than 1.6 in (4 cm)0, 0 models
Most robots cross 0.8 in (2 cm). Higher thresholds need a climbing system. Measure under your couch too: a low robot fits underneath.
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)
