529 of the 557 models we track have this.
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: philips.de · checked on Oct 7
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.
- yes
- Extending side brush
When it matters

- Rooms with many walls and furniture edges.
When it matters less

- no (assumed)
- Dirt detection
When it matters
- Entrances and kitchens, where dirt gathers in one place.
- Pets that leave hair in a favorite spot.

- no
Mopping 5 facts
- Mop type
When it matters
- Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.

When it matters less
- If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.

- no

- Homes with many corners and table legs.
When it matters less

When it matters
- Homes with carpets or rugs that should stay dry.

- no (assumed)
- Water tank in the robot
When it matters
- Large hard floors mopped in one go.
- A robot whose dock does not refill it during a run.
When it matters less
- With a dock that refills the robot during the run, the tank’s size hardly matters.
Source: philips.de · checked on Oct 7
