What it is: An indicator based on the number of reviews received by the robot vacuum.

When it matters: When you prefer to purchase a product chosen and reviewed by many other consumers.

Cleaning

8.6

Hide

Max suction power

What it is: Maximum suction power is the highest pressure the vacuum motor is rated to produce, measured in pascals.

When it matters: Higher figures can help lift embedded debris from carpet, but brush design and airflow also determine real cleaning performance.

Importance: HIGH

N. of suction power levels

What it is: The number of suction levels shows how many power settings can be selected.

When it matters: More levels give finer control over noise, battery use and cleaning strength on different floors.

Importance: MEDIUM

Motor type

What it is: Motor type identifies whether the suction motor uses a brushed or brushless design.

When it matters: Brushless motors generally offer better efficiency and durability, although complete airflow design still determines performance.

Importance: LOW

Power

What it is: Power is the electrical input rating of the robot or its charging system.

When it matters: It describes energy demand, but it should not be treated as a direct measure of suction or floor-cleaning ability.

Importance: LOW

Cleaning modes

What it is: Cleaning modes are the distinct automatic or targeted cleaning programs available on the robot.

When it matters: A wider choice makes it easier to match cleaning behavior to rooms, spills, edges or quiet periods.

Importance: MEDIUM

Mopping

6.5

Hide

Mopping capability

What it is: Mopping capability means the robot can wipe hard floors with a damp pad or active mop system.

When it matters: It is useful for fine dust and light marks, but it does not automatically mean the robot can replace deep manual mopping.

Importance: MEDIUM

Mopping system type

What it is: The mopping system type describes how the robot applies motion and pressure to its mop, such as a static pad, vibrating pad, rotating pads or roller.

When it matters: Active systems generally scrub dried marks better, while pad lifting and dock washing determine how practical they are on mixed floors.

Importance: HIGH

Mop pad type

What it is: Mop pad type describes the pad shape and attachment used by the mopping system.

When it matters: It affects floor contact, edge reach, replacement availability and whether the pads can be washed easily.

Importance: LOW

Mop pad material

What it is: Mop pad material is the fabric or fibre used to wipe and absorb dirt from the floor.

When it matters: It influences absorption, scrubbing action, durability and how easily the pad releases dirt when washed.

Importance: LOW

microfiber

Mop pressure

What it is: Mop pressure is the downward force the mopping system applies to the floor.

When it matters: More controlled pressure can improve removal of dried marks, although pad motion and moisture delivery also matter.

Importance: LOW

Navigation

8.9

Hide

Primary navigation technology

What it is: The primary navigation technology is the main sensor system the robot uses to understand its position and plan a route.

When it matters: It affects route efficiency, coverage and how reliably the robot returns to its dock, especially in larger or more complex homes.

Importance: HIGH

Mapping capability

What it is: Mapping capability lets the robot create a floor plan instead of cleaning only from moment-to-moment sensor reactions.

When it matters: A saved map is important for room selection, no-go zones and predictable coverage.

Importance: MEDIUM

Real-time mapping

What it is: Real-time mapping updates the floor plan and the robot's route while a cleaning run is in progress.

When it matters: It helps you follow progress, spot missed areas and see where the robot is if it becomes stuck.

Importance: LOW

Multiple map storage

What it is: Multiple map storage keeps separate floor plans for more than one level or cleaning area.

When it matters: It is useful in multi-storey homes because the robot does not need to rebuild the map each time it changes floors.

Importance: LOW

Map editing

What it is: Map editing lets you divide, merge, name and adjust rooms in the app.

When it matters: Accurate room boundaries make room-by-room schedules and targeted cleaning easier to use.

Importance: LOW

Smart Features

8.0

Hide

App control

What it is: App control lets you operate and configure the robot from a smartphone application.

When it matters: It is needed for maps, room selection, schedules and many advanced settings on modern robot vacuums.

Importance: LOW

App name

What it is: App name identifies the manufacturer's mobile application used to control the robot.

When it matters: It helps you check phone compatibility, account requirements and user feedback for the correct app before buying.

Importance: LOW

Wi-Fi connectivity

What it is: Wi-Fi connectivity links the robot to its app and cloud services through the home network.

When it matters: It enables remote control and updates, but setup quality depends on router compatibility and signal coverage.

Importance: LOW

Supported Wi-Fi bands

What it is: Supported Wi-Fi bands identify the wireless frequencies the robot can use, commonly 2.4 GHz and sometimes 5 GHz.

When it matters: Band support matters during setup because many robot vacuums connect only to a 2.4 GHz network.

Importance: LOW

2.4 GHz

Bluetooth connectivity

What it is: Bluetooth connectivity provides a short-range wireless link, often used during initial setup.

When it matters: It can simplify pairing but usually does not replace Wi-Fi for remote app control.

Importance: LOW

Battery

6.0

Hide

Battery capacity

What it is: Battery capacity is the amount of electrical charge the battery can store, measured in milliamp-hours.

When it matters: More capacity can support longer cleaning runs, but motor power, mopping and navigation also affect actual runtime.

Importance: MEDIUM

Battery type

What it is: Battery type identifies the battery chemistry used by the robot.

When it matters: It affects weight, service life and charging behavior, with lithium-ion now being the common modern design.

Importance: LOW

Li-ion

Battery voltage

What it is: Battery voltage is the nominal electrical voltage of the robot's battery pack.

When it matters: It is mainly useful for checking replacement-battery compatibility and does not by itself indicate runtime.

Importance: LOW

14.4

Runtime

What it is: Runtime is how long the robot is rated to clean on one charge under the stated test mode.

When it matters: Longer runtime matters on large floors, while recharge-and-resume can compensate for a smaller battery.

Importance: MEDIUM

Recharge and resume

What it is: Recharge and resume sends the robot back to charge and then returns it to the unfinished part of the map.

When it matters: It allows large cleaning jobs to finish without manual intervention when one battery charge is not enough.

Importance: LOW

Design

2.5

Hide

Shape

What it is: Shape describes the robot's body outline, most commonly round or D-shaped.

When it matters: Shape influences corner reach and manoeuvring, although brush placement and route planning are equally important.

Importance: LOW

Height

What it is: Height is the vertical clearance required by the robot.

When it matters: A lower body can clean under more sofas, beds and cabinets, but measure the furniture gap before relying on it.

Importance: LOW

Width

What it is: Width is the side-to-side size of the robot.

When it matters: It determines whether the robot can pass between chair legs, furniture and other narrow spaces.

Importance: LOW

Length

What it is: Length is the front-to-back size of the robot.

When it matters: Together with width and shape, it affects turning space and access around closely placed furniture.

Importance: LOW

Weight

What it is: Weight is the mass of the robot itself, excluding its dock.

When it matters: A lighter robot is easier to carry between floors, while weight has little direct connection to cleaning quality.

Importance: LOW
