How we work

We read the manuals and parts lists, not just the launch announcement, so you know the yearly cost of brushes, filters, and bags before you buy. If a robot has a known problem, like tangled brushes or wet pads on rugs, we tell you.

Who this is for

  • You have pets, rugs, or stairs and want a robot that handles them.
  • You’re buying your first one and want it simple.
  • You’re upgrading and want to know if it’s worth it.
  • You’d rather spend ten minutes reading than a weekend returning things.
