About Robot Vacuum Atlas

What this site is

Robot Vacuum Atlas is a research-based guide to robot vacuums for American homes. We read published lab tests, manufacturer manuals and long-term owner reports, then turn them into short answers for real homes: pets, carpet, low furniture, tight budgets.

How we pick

We don’t run a test lab. A robot needs support from at least two independent sources to be ranked, and every test number on the site names where it came from. When something is only a manufacturer claim, we say so. Product details such as listings and photos come from Amazon listings we check, dated on each page.

How we make money

We earn commissions on qualifying purchases through affiliate links, mainly Amazon. Brands don’t pay for placement, and we don’t accept free robots. See our affiliate disclosure.
