What actually matters here
Picksights methodology
- Suction figures in pascals are the most quoted spec and the least useful — machines with lower numbers routinely out-clean higher ones in measured tests.
- Hair tangling decides whether you keep using the robot: a brush roll that wraps turns an automated chore back into a manual one.
- Navigation is what separates a robot that runs unattended from one you rescue, and it matters far more in a cluttered home than an open one.
- A self-maintaining dock is a genuine convenience, not a cleaning improvement — budget for it separately from performance.
