Suction and brushes 4 facts
- Anti-tangle brush
When it matters
- Long hair and pet hair, which wrap around a bristle brush.
- Homes where you would rather not cut hair off the brush.
When it matters less
- Short hair and few pets hardly tangle anyway.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
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. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Extending side brush
When it matters
- Corners and edges along baseboards, where a round robot leaves a strip of dust.
- Rooms with many walls and furniture edges.
When it matters less
- In open rooms with few corners it adds little.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
The side brush swings out in a corner or along a baseboard, so the dust there is swept in too. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Suitable floors
When it matters
- Homes with mixed floors: tiles, wood and carpet.
- Delicate floors such as waxed wood or natural stone.
When it matters less
- On ordinary hard floors nearly every robot does the job.
Source: amazon.nl · checked on Oct 26
The floors the maker says the robot cleans well: hard floor, wood, low-pile or high-pile carpet. High pile is where most robots struggle.
- hard floor, wood, low-pile carpet
- Filter type
When it matters
- Dust allergy or asthma, where the exhaust should not blow fine dust back into the room.
- Pets, whose dander floats in the air.
When it matters less
- Without allergies a simple filter catches what you can see.
Source: amazon.nl · checked on Oct 26
The filter the exhaust air passes through. A HEPA filter holds back fine dust and pollen, which counts if someone at home has an allergy.
- HEPA
Mopping 4 facts
- Mop type
When it matters
- Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
- Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
When it matters less
- If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Mop extends to the edges
When it matters
- Kitchens and hallways where dirt gathers along the baseboard.
- Homes with many corners and table legs.
When it matters less
- In open rooms the strip it leaves along the wall is small.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Automatic mop detach
When it matters
- Homes with carpets or rugs that should stay dry.
- High-pile rugs that no mop lift clears.
When it matters less
- Without carpets the mop can stay on.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Mop refreshed while mopping
When it matters
- Large hard floors, where a mop that is never rinsed spreads dirt around.
- Kitchens with sticky spills.
When it matters less
- In a small home the mop does not get dirty enough in one run for it to matter.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
The robot returns to the dock during a run to rinse the mop, instead of pushing dirty water around. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
Navigation and obstacles 1 fact
- Climbing system for high thresholds
When it matters
- Door sills higher than most robots can take.
- Thick rugs and raised doorsteps between rooms.
When it matters less
- In a home without sills it decides nothing.
Source: Manual · checked on Oct 27
