Every verdict, with the reasons

Lowest US price first, then the larger threshold margin, then the lower robot. Models without a US price come after priced ones. Suction never decides the order: makers measure it in different ways.

Does not fit1

Each line gives the reason in numbers.

This page ranks the 37 robot vacuums in the Botsize dataset that are sold in the US. Prices are the maker's list price, or the price its page showed that month (sometimes a sale price), with the month we read it.

Thick carpet and a wet mop

Thick pile is where a mopping robot can do harm: a damp pad dragged across a shag rug leaves it wet. This page asks for mopping on a home of thick carpet, so the finder looks at what each robot does with its mop when it reaches the carpet.

  • A mop that detaches on its own gets no warning. The robot leaves the pad at the dock before it vacuums the carpet, which is why the comparison above leads with those models.
  • A mop that only lifts gets a warning on thick pile. Published lifts run from 7.9 mm (0.31 in) to 17 mm (0.67 in), and no maker in the dataset states the pile height its lift clears.
  • A lift that is not published on a mop that does not detach gets a warning on any carpet.

None of these notes rules a model out, so the fit list stays long. Read the mop column before the price. The edge of a thick rug is also a threshold: measure it from the bare floor to the top of the pile, as the threshold guide shows, and change the threshold if it is taller than the default 10 mm.

Questions about thick carpet

Why does a robot that lifts its mop still get a warning here?
Makers publish how far the mop lifts but not how deep a pile that clears. On thick pile the finder cannot confirm the pad stays dry, so it warns unless the mop comes off at the dock.
What changes when mopping is not needed?
Set mopping to no and the mop warnings disappear. Robots that only vacuum then count as well, and the order follows price, threshold margin and robot height as usual.
What counts as thick pile?
The finder has three choices, low, medium and thick, and no maker publishes a pile limit in millimeters. Choose thick for shag, deep plush and long rugs, where a pad would sink into the fibers.
