How to Choose
Start with your floors: mostly hard floors need strong mopping and a wash dock; carpet-heavy homes should prioritise suction and self-emptying. Then decide how hands-off you want to be — docks that wash mops and empty dustbins cost more but remove weekly chores. Our two comparison videos above walk through every tier with a clear winner each.
