For the most part, it’s a little bit like trying to separate a BMW and an Audi as the better everyday car. Both will do an excellent job and you wille will love whichever one you choose.

Where should you place for your robot vacuum base station / charging dock?
We often have questions asking “why is my robot spinning around in circles right in front of the base” or “why is my robot lost”. In our experience, about 6 times out of 10 this is because the robot’s mapping system is ‘bugging out’ and its due to the location of the charging base. This […]
