FAQ

Which robot is best for long hair?

Choose a model with a rubber anti-tangle brush and strong suction: long hair wraps less and is picked up better.

Which robot is the quietest?

Look for a quiet mode under 65 dB. Most recent robots offer several power levels and a night mode.

Do robots work on carpets?

Yes. The best ones detect carpets and boost suction automatically. For thick carpets, aim for maximum power.
