We prioritized models with at least a 1-year warranty; some offer up to 3 years for added peace of mind.

After each cleaning cycle, empty the bin to maintain suction and prevent clogs. Wash the filter monthly.
Remove hair wrap from bristle brushes and wipe cliff sensors and charging contacts with a dry cloth to keep navigation accurate.
HEPA filters and side brushes wear out. Replace them every 6-12 months to keep performance optimal.
In our evaluation, we found that spending a bit more for a model with LiDAR navigation and a longer warranty resulted in a significantly better experience. The added mapping capability prevented missed spots and reduced collisions, which directly improved cleaning effectiveness and user satisfaction.
Before buying, measure the clearance under your low furniture. If your couch has less than 3.5 inches of clearance, look for a robot that is slim (around 3 inches or less) to avoid it getting stuck.
