Choose compatible vacuum heads and techniques for carpet, wood, laminate, vinyl, tile, stone, and rugs, with links to detailed floor-care guides.

Learn when a threshold ramp may help a robot vacuum, what to measure, and how to assess slope, stability, floor compatibility, and safe doorway use.

Check laminate care instructions, robot brush compatibility, clean contact points, moisture limits, and separate approval for robot mopping.

Identify approved pool-cleaning options when no waste setting exists, distinguish recirculation, and plan safe equipment use, water levels, and discharge.

Decide which cleaning jobs a robot can replace, what remains manual, and how floor compatibility, maintenance, access, and ownership costs affect the choice.

Estimate complete robot-and-dock electricity consumption, include standby and station functions, and calculate running cost from measured kWh.

Check artificial-grass and equipment compatibility, protect infill and seams, and follow the installed turf’s approved brushing, rinsing, and debris care.

Learn how robot vacuums end or pause tasks through coverage, battery state, controls, and errors, and distinguish completion from an unfinished job.
