Buyer's guide
Cleaning robots
Floor robots are the easiest home robots to judge. Ask three things: does it handle your floors, does it handle your pets and clutter, and how much emptying and upkeep will you accept? Here is how the main types compare.

Buyer's guides and tools
Which type of cleaning robot fits your home
| Type | What it does | Worth it if | Skip it if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robot vacuum | Vacuums floors on a schedule and returns to its dock to charge. | Your floors are mostly hard or low rugs and you would run it most days. | Your floors are covered in cords, toys or deep shag that you won't pick up first. |
| Vacuum and mop combo | Vacuums, then wipes hard floors with a damp pad. | Hard floors dominate and you mop every week now. | Your home is mostly carpet. You'd pay for a mop you rarely use. |
| Self-emptying dock | The dock pulls dirt out of the robot into a bag or bin. | You have pets that shed and you are tired of emptying a small bin. | You have no spare floor space beside an outlet for a larger dock. |
Our verdict: buy the simplest type that covers your floors. Mopping and self-emptying add cost and parts to maintain. Pay for them only if you'd use them every week.
One floor robot on our US availability check has a published Conditional Approval: Matic Robots' Robotic Floor Cleaner Model 4MA0001 with Charging Dock Model 4DK0008 (FCC DA 26-1063). We haven't checked FCC records for other robot vacuum brands yet, so they aren't listed.
