Features that affect real ownership
01
Floor fit
Brush contact, carpet transitions, moisture control and edge reach must suit the actual home.
02
Daily intervention
We distinguish dust auto-emptying from mop washing, drying and water handling.
03
Hair maintenance
“Anti-tangle” reduces work but does not eliminate cleaning around rollers, axles and filters.
04
Long-term cost
Dock bags, filters, brushes, mop pads, cleaning solution and warranty support all matter.
LEARN BEFORE BUYING
Quick answers to common questions
Higher Pa does not guarantee better pickup
Airflow, brush design, floor contact and test methods differ between brands. Treat suction as one specification, not a final score.
LiDAR and cameras solve different problems
LiDAR maps efficiently; cameras can improve object recognition but introduce privacy considerations.
Self-cleaning is not maintenance-free
Every station still needs bags or bins, clean water, dirty-water disposal and periodic tray cleaning.
