    Specifications

    Hover over any spec for more information.

    Tap on any spec for more info.

    This is an estimate to help you choose which robots to consider. The max cleaning area is more accurate if you know the size of your home.

    Up to approx. 1 to 3 bedrooms

    This is the maximum size home the robot can clean.  This will be affected if you have a lot of furniture or particularly deep-pile carpet.

    Max cleaning area 170 m²

    Self-mapping robots save a floor-plan of your home to allow you to add no-go lines and room-select (if available).  Some robots only support single-level homes (1 floor-plan), while others allow you to save multiple.

    Multi-level homes

    Some robots can automatically empty themselves into their base.  Most auto-empty stations hold 30 full cleans.

    Auto-empty station: Not available

    A vacuum always needs a filter. It does not filter what is picked up, it filters out what escapes back into the room.  It is particularly important for people with allergies or respiratory concerns.

    High-efficiency is typically 99% of allergens down to 10μm, while a HEPA filter is 99.97% of allergens down to 0.3μm.

    High Efficiency Filters

    This is one of the most important specs for any robot as it is the main factor in how smart it is.

    Navigation: Smart-Random (Infrared + algorithmic)

    Watch the navigation test video on this page to see how efficiently it maps a room!

    Smart-random navigation

    Some robots have secondary navigation looking at the floor to help it avoid objects that may jam the vacuum.  These are typically 3D lasers or cameras with object recognition.

    Artificial Intelligence: No AI Object Avoidance

    How long a full battery charge will last while cleaning. Typically tested on eco-mode on hard-floors.

    75 min. run-time

    The battery capacity in milliamp hours. 

    1800 mAh

    Lithium-Ion batteries are the best available.

    Clean your home from anywhere at the press of a button!

    Note: most robots will run without connecting to a smart-phone, however many require an app to access all the features.

    Connects to your phone via an app

    "Hey Robomate, clean my home!"

    Some robots are smart-home compatible and can be voice controlled. 

    If this is a key purchasing factor for you, we suggest getting in touch prior to purchasing.

    Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit

    Schedule cleans to suit your schedule.  For example, schedule your robot to start at 8:30 every morning while you're dropping the kids off to school.

    Schedule cleans via the app

    No-go zones are virtual barriers.  They're normally very easy to set-up by drawing lines on the map your robot automatically creates on your smart-phone.  This is very useful if there are any unusually tricky spots in the house.

    No-Go Zones - tell the robot to avoid specific areas

    With room select, the robot will clean the selected area(s) and return home without trying to clean the rest of the house.  Traditionally robots will clean everywhere they can access, however some premium robot vacuums have the ability to schedule specific rooms.

    No room select

    All our robots will recharge automatically, however some will remember where they left off and resume cleaning if they didn't finish the job.

    Automatically recharge and resume

    Some robots can also do mopping.  In some cases this can affect vacuuming performance so watch our full review if this is important for you.

    Vacuum only

    No mop zones let you tell the robot what is carpet and what is hard-floor.  Robot mops without this capability will require quite a lot of set-up to be effective.

    No mop zones: N/A

    D-shaped robots can clean a lot more effectively close to walls than circle robots.

    Circle robots can navigate a lot more easily in tight spaces as they can rotate on the spot.

    Circle

    This is the height of the robot.  It will clean under any furniture where it can fit!

    920 mm high

    The capacity of debris it will collect.  This is less important on auto-emptying robots.

    "We are absolutely loving our robo, "Jeeves" as he's better known as. It's just like magic, set him off at night and hey abracadabra first thing in the morning it's clean. Couldn't live without Jeeves!"

    "“Rosie” found her way around our house and we found what I thought was a clean house was a little embarrassing how much she managed to find, so much more dust. Our house is quite big so we bought “Freddie” to join the family."
