Every bot runs across hardwood, thick carpet, tile and pet-hair chaos in lived-in homes — not a spotless lab floor.
We buy or borrow units on the open market and take no payment from brands to rank higher. Scores are ours alone.
Suction, mapping accuracy, edge coverage and app reliability are logged run-by-run — spec-sheet claims don't earn points.
Rankings are refreshed as new models launch and firmware changes, so a pick you see today reflects current performance.
One email a month: the best new robot vacuums we've tested, price drops worth catching, and picks pulled when they stop earning their spot.
