Robot vacuums, scored on five axes

Is a dock that washes the mop for you worth the four-figure jump?

What this order is based on

  • Ease of use reflects how much work the dock genuinely takes off your hands
  • Suction is one input to performance, never the ranking by itself
  • Warranty handling and parts availability are folded into durability
  • Quietness is judged on whether you can run it outside daytime hours

Sorted by Overall — the plain average of this category's axes, highest first.

Robot vacuum comparisons tend to open with a suction figure and end there. Live with one for a month and the things that decide whether you keep using it turn out to be elsewhere: whether you still have to rinse the mop pads yourself, whether the dock fits where you need it, whether you can run it while someone is asleep.

So suction went in as one component of performance, and four other axes went in beside it. The result is that the most expensive machine here does not finish first — its value score pulls the average down past a cheaper sibling.

Every axis score is laid out below. If one of them matters more to you than the rest, read the bar for that axis rather than the total.
