A robot's round body may leave a strip beneath cabinet overhangs. Measure the recess and compare practical reach rather than assuming an extending arm reaches every edge.

A practical checklist
- Measure the plinth recess depth and height.
- Check that the robot can approach without its upper body hitting the cabinet.
- Plan occasional manual cleaning where the brush or mop cannot physically reach.
What this looks like at home
A deep toe-kick can remain dusty even when the visible tile beside it is cleaned well.
Make the route predictable
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Floor-level objects | Lift leads, strings and loose fabric. |
| Narrow gaps | Check entry, turning and escape space. |
| Protected areas | Use suitable boundaries around hazards. |
A mistake to avoid
Edge-cleaning marketing does not establish complete coverage under every cabinet design.
