Dry-only robot vacuums for automated cleaning (no mop).
Best dry-only robot with 5,000 Pa published suction, LiDAR iPath navigation, AI.Map 2.0 multi-floor mapping, and 2.5 L self-empty dock lasting ~60 days. Strong features-per-dollar.
Strong automation per dollar with LiDAR navigation, 3 L self-empty bag, and 2.85-inch low profile for under-furniture reach. 4,000 Pa suction is respectable but behind the L60.
Best battery life in the dry-only class at 4,000 mAh / 200 minutes with LDS laser + SLAM navigation. Budget price point, but no self-empty dock is a major penalty.
LiDAR navigation with bagless self-empty base (30-day capacity, no consumable bags). Pa suction not disclosed—penalized under the scoring rubric.
HEPA bagless self-empty base with Matrix Clean home mapping. Pa suction not disclosed—penalized. Often purchased at scale as a high-feature mainstream option.
