Buying Guides

A robot that consistently veers left or right may have resistance at one wheel or brush. Compare straight travel on a clear surface before editing its map.

Natural-fibre rugs can be sensitive to moisture and aggressive agitation. Begin with the rug’s care label, then decide whether the robot should cross, vacuum or avoid it.

The Omni station reduces manual pad washing, but it still stores dirty water that you need to remove. Tank care is a regular ownership task, not a one-off setup step.

Camera-free shopping needs a precise model check because nearby variants can use different sensors. Look at official specifications and the privacy information rather than a retailer’s short title.

Circling usually means the robot is receiving uneven movement or obstacle information. Check the wheels and bumper before assuming that its whole map has failed.

Rubber flooring and loose gym mats need different treatment. A stable sealed floor may be straightforward; flexible mat edges and moisture restrictions require closer checks.
