Im frequently asked for recommendations on what robot vacuum to get.
While Ive gotfavorites,I usually respond with a list of features Id look for.
Each year, robots get so much more advanced that these features change.
Theres also a belief that one of the features wont be as good as the other.
The mops have become leagues better than they were,too.
One favorite in this regard is theDreame X50.
Robots that only vacuum arent even cheaper most of the time.
For every vacuum, theres a vacuum/mop combo in the same price range.
In a big open space, they work well, floating over floor debris and stains and cleaning them.
Robots like theRoborock Saros 10Rand theEureka J15 Ultrahave very effective extending arms.
However, the dock is an equal partner in how well your vacuum works.
All modern Roborock models have this, as did the Eureka J15.
But not all vacuums do.
These days I also look for docks with a receptacle for cleaning fluid.
Lastly, I cannot stress enough how important it is to check the water capacity of the dock.
The rollers are also where hair gets caught, debris gets stuck, and paper clogs the robot.
I saw this design on theSaros 10and theSaros 10R.
