Suction power and filters
Wattage alone is misleading. Look at suction in pascals or air watts and check for HEPA filtration, which helps allergies in dusty cities. Washable filters cut running costs.
Battery life and runtime
Cordless units run 20 to 60 minutes and robots 60 to 180 minutes. Removable batteries extend life. Check replacement battery prices before buying.
Floor types
Tiles and wood need soft brushes, carpets need strong brush rolls and rugs with fringes need care. Many robots struggle with thick rugs and cables.
Pet hair and fine dust
Anti-tangle brushes and strong suction help with pet hair. Fine desert dust needs sealed filtration, or it blows back out of the machine.
Noise and warranty
Quieter models run at 60 to 70 dB. Check motor and battery warranty and local service. For anything involving gas, wiring or installation at height, use a qualified technician and follow the maker's instructions.
Check before you buy
- Floors. Match brush type.
- Filters. Prefer washable HEPA.
- Battery. Check replacement cost.
- Service. Confirm local support.
Before you decide
Match the type to floors and dust, check filters and battery costs and keep the manual. Ask the seller to demonstrate the product switched on, read the label for rated power and capacity, and photograph the model sticker so that warranty claims are easy later. Compare the total cost over five years, which includes electricity, servicing and likely repairs, instead of only the shelf price. Write down your room size, budget, electricity tariff and must-have features before you visit a shop, compare at least two models on the same capacity and warranty terms, and check the warranty card, the service network in your area and the availability of spare parts. Ask for the full invoice with the model number, keep the box and accessories until the item has been tested at home, and inspect the delivered product for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change often with exchange rates, taxes and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide grey-market stock or missing warranty cover.
