Buying Guides

Automatic dosing removes one measuring step, but it can tie the robot to a particular cleaner or cartridge. Check compatibility and replenishment before treating it as a saving.

A raised rug edge can leave a wheel unloaded or trap material around it. Free the robot and inspect the crossing rather than simply dismissing the error.

A utility room often contains appliance hoses, hanging laundry and occasional water. Those details can matter more than its small floor area.

Clearing hair once is not enough if it is packed under removable end caps or the cover is misaligned. A repeat error deserves a methodical check of the entire accessible brush assembly.

Conservatories can combine sharp door steps, reflective glazing and temperature extremes. Check the environment limits as well as the route before choosing a permanent dock location.

Drying systems can use warm air or ambient air, with different cycle times and conditions. Read the exact model description rather than assuming every automatic station contains a heater.
