Robot vacuums with Wi-Fi
Connects straight to your router, so there’s no hub to buy — but every device adds load to your Wi-Fi. Most use the longer-range 2.4 GHz band.

| Specs complete Share of this category’s specs we have a sourced value for. | 67% | 33% |
| Suction power Peak suction in pascals as stated by the maker. Above ~8,000 Pa the difference on hard floors is small; it matters most on thick carpet. | 18,500 Pa | 10,000 Pa |
| Mopping system Rotating pads and roller mops scrub; static pads only wipe. Look for mop lifting if you have carpets. | Rotating pads | Static pad |
| Mop lift height How far the mop lifts on carpet. 10 mm+ keeps most rugs dry; some models detach pads entirely. | 10 mm | ? |
| Carpet detection An ultrasonic or optical sensor that boosts suction and avoids mopping on carpet. | Yes | Yes |
| Navigation LiDAR maps fast and works in the dark. Camera (vSLAM) needs light but is cheaper. Gyro cleans in lines without a real map. | LiDAR | LiDAR |
| Obstacle avoidance AI cameras recognise cables, socks and pet waste. Structured light sees shapes but not what they are. | 3D structured light | ? |
| Multi-floor maps Number of floor plans it can store. Useful if you carry it between floors. | ? | ? |
| Robot height Lower robots fit under more sofas and beds. Measure your lowest furniture gap. | 9.65 cm | 9.9 cm |
| Self-emptying The dock sucks the dust bin empty into a bag. Saves emptying the robot after every run. | Yes | Yes |
| Mop washing Hot-water washing removes grease better and reduces smell. | Hot water | None |
| Mop drying Warm-air drying temperature. Without it, damp pads can smell within a day. | 45 °C | ? |
| Dust bag capacity A 3 L bag lasts roughly 6–8 weeks in an average home. | ? | 2.7 L |
| Runtime On the lowest suction setting. Expect about half on max power. | ? | ? |
| Noise level Every 3 dB is roughly a doubling of sound energy. Under 60 dB is fine for running while you are home. | ? | ? |
| Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz has longer range. Dual band helps in crowded apartment buildings. | 2.4 GHz | 2.4 GHz |
| Thread Low-power mesh used by Matter. Needs a Thread border router (HomePod mini, Nest Hub, SkyConnect…). | No | ? |
| Zigbee Mature mesh protocol. Works locally with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA in Home Assistant. | No | ? |
| Bluetooth Usually only for setup or short-range control. | No | ? |
| Matter Works with every major platform locally. Check which device types are supported — some features may stay app-only. | ? | ? |
| Home Assistant Core integrations ship with Home Assistant. HACS integrations are community-maintained and can break after updates. | Core integration | ? |
| Alexa | Yes | ? |
| Google Home | Yes | ? |
| Apple Home | ? | ? |
| Works offline Keeps working with your internet down — schedules, automations and local apps still run. | ? | ? |
| Cloud account required You must create a manufacturer account to set it up. Some devices stop working if the cloud shuts down. | Yes | ? |
| Subscription for key features Features locked behind a monthly fee, e.g. history, AI detection or remote access. | ? | ? |
| Firmware updates via HA Update the firmware from Home Assistant without the vendor app (Zigbee2MQTT OTA, Matter OTA). | ? | ? |
