Which Robot Vacuum or Robot Mop Should You Buy?

What these guides found

Two robot vacuum guides. The flagship one ended up being about two millimetre figures rather than the headline suction number: how high the mop lifts over your carpet, and how tall a threshold the robot climbs. Suction in pascals spanned 19,500 to 36,000 across the seven flagships that publish one and did not track how well any of them cleaned carpet. The second lines up the popular Roborock, Dreame, eufy and ECOVACS models by budget, from under $300 to over $1,000, with the same four specs on every card and one pick per price band.

How we judge home appliances

• Mop-lift height and threshold climb against your carpet and doorways.
• Independent measurements where they exist; blanks where the maker will not publish a figure.
• Running costs: bags, filters, consumables, and how often you touch the thing.
