Floorplan matters
Open floors and low thresholds are easier for robots than stairs, clutter and complex level changes.
Winter debris matters
Coarse entrance grit and wet slush should be managed before it reaches the robot; robots are not designed for every wet or heavy mess.
Consumables add up
Brushes, filters, bags on self-emptying docks and batteries can affect ownership cost.
Privacy features vary
App-connected models may use maps, cameras or cloud services; review the manufacturer’s privacy and account settings.
