How this ranking works

How this ranking works: only available or pre-orderable models are included. Each model is ranked within the list for each criterion (Suction power, Obstacle detection, Data coverage, Price); missing data counts as the worst value. We don't test robots ourselves but evaluate manufacturer and retailer information.

The specs are based on manufacturer and retailer information; every figure is backed by a source on the model's spec sheet.
