Very nice analysis! The scores are interesting, but I would suggest that each person evaluate their unique situation. Eliminating fluoride (a known neurotoxin) is a top priority for me. As such, the Zero Water is my preferred unit. Others may have other desires.

ECOVACS sent me a new replacement unit last week, 5/26/2024. The new replacement has a new brush head with improved blockers from hair tanglement at the rotation sides.

I went with AquaTru brand Reverse Osmosis Countertop Filter

if your a big guy like me (290lbs) the Serta Jennings padding will go flat after a few years. I'm replacing mine with a Herman Miller Embody because I'm tired of replacing chairs.

Zero Water wins most tests.. but I bought my 10 pack of Britta filters at Costco so I’m using them up lol

Hi, great content! A question, Recently purchased the Shark Stratos IZ420UKT (believe the same model, Europe)as to your review. As this is my first cordless vacuum I am unsure how this compares in the overall rankings. Initially I decided on a Dyson V11 or around that range however they are now sold out in my area. So I went with the Stratos model. It seems to be good but I have only used it once, but I am considering to return the Shark and instead go with a Samsung Jet range 75, 90 etc mainly as I think the cleaning/maintenance off the machine is simpler with the Samsung jet range and overall performance might be better. Or is the Stratos a superior machine in comparison to the Jet range for Samsung, Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Its not designed to be used on the carpet as a vacuum?

thank you for the great video! I have another topic which I hardly find answers to, could you maybe test it? My appartment has small steps between some rooms (1 room has 4,6cm and the other 1,1cm). Is there any robot vacuum that can climb this up?

This is a really good review list! I appreciate you going over each individual factor rather than just giving an "overall" performance score (like the first video recommended to me). Means viewers can more easily weight the features that matter to their situation more! In particular, pointing out that that one brand is bagless immediately made it stand out to me, since I hadn't even considered that that wasn't standard and I have no interest in ongoing "subscriptions" to products through having to remember to buy things like bags (both my proper big vacuum and my small dustbuster/stick vacuum are bagless and I just empty them directly into the bin on the far too infrequent occasions I actually remember to vacuum, hence looking for the robots!) Overall, great job! Would love access to a spreadsheet of all the scores in all the categories for all the vacuums, including those which didn't make the "general purpose" cut here but might be more applicable to those in specific situations (eg those with fully carpeted homes with no interest in a mop attachment). Also, I know this is something that changes a lot, but a sample price (at least for at the time of filming) or at least a price range for each price category would be super useful for those looking to purchase! When just starting research, I have no idea if these products are in the $200, $500, $1000, or $2000+ range, and as such have no idea if my budget means I should be looking at high, middle, or low-end devices. Edit: Oh, it seems like you've been actually reading and responding to comments! In that case, if you don't already have it, it would be amazing if you did a separate video talking about the best robot vacuums for different living situations! Eg small apartment all carpet would be a very different set of criteria to big house with a mix of hardwood and rugs. Can also address situational questions like how important is smart navigation over "dumb" navigation in a relatively small space (my own is ~50m^2 for example) as I assume the benefit of coverage gained for the cost is lower than for a large house with many rooms. Also, the relative sizes of the docking stations is more important in a smaller space, so giving an idea of area occupied while docked would be useful. And on the other side, somebody in a large house would probably care more about battery life to get an idea of how much of the house will get cleaned every day! And also, you can get more videos out of the same test results 😜

Who cares about noise,. Does it take out vox's , gas's

Why do some of them have prop 65 them??

Which do you think is the better vacuum - the LG CordZero A9 (auto empty - non mop version) or the Shark Detect Pro? (On both carpet and hybrid flooring)

I would like a Biss Cross Wave Vaccume and washes floors and carpets , I wonder if I can make monthly payments and have you send it to me, and how much will the monthly payments be??

Can you compare the ecovacs deebot x2 omni vs t30s. Trying to decide between the two models

Would like to see how a DIY Corsi-Rosenthal box stacks up against all of these. I just made one with a $20 box fan and 4 MERV-13 filters. Ive seen tests where they are beating out almost every HEPA because of the high CADR, but I havent seen it compared to a comprehensive list. Usually its like 4 or 5 different things being tested. Even just slapping a single filter to the back of a box fan seems to beat out most of the low end HEPA filters it seems.

what would you say for a five hundred square foot living room that is heavily smoked in? did your test eliminate the incense smell ? what about the next day is anything lingering? is it better to go with a unit thats oversized for the room its going in would that help eliminate smoke odor quicker?

Non of your 1000-2000 picks even gets to 1500. Do you recommend something for around 1800sf? Thanks

No instruction on how to hook it up

Hahaha...saw your face and was like, Naplab dude! Still love my birch, and the topper makes it so sweet

Hi! Love your reviews :) Are you sure the edge cleaning test was properly done? Could it be a faulty unit? I ask since i have not seen any other reviewer mention this as an issue. 43% or what it was in your review is super bad and think that more would have mentioned it if it was an issue. Keep up the good work!

Having the robot bumping all over the place is better than defining forbidden areas?

Thank you i almost bought it! Ill go with clearly filtered .....shewt i might just go distilled sad😢😂😢

The tests were done in boost mode. I like to see it done in auto mode to see how effective the sensor working in tandem with the motor to be effective. The vacuum can have the strongest suction but if auto mode is not effective then motor may not give enough power for suction

I am super super sensitive to noise. I am planning on using it for a bedroom in basement. I am debating between Levoit and MA 50. I like most thing about MA 50 except that it doesn’t have an auto mode. I am thinking that maybe having an auto mode like Levoit, despite being a little bit louder, would be better because it would be running intermittently instead of continuously? But I am not sure. What do you think?

what do you think about Dibea?

Why do you do this and not show the price XD?? bad video

the edge cleaning test in the summary is wrong fyi.

xiaomi the best

How do you know when it’s fully charged? Just got one from a garage sale and there was no manual. After watching this video I am happy that I got it so we’ll see how it does once it’s fully charged.

I would love to see a test on pet hair that is more embedded into the carpet, since that's realistic. I don't understand why every test I see done is shown with pet hair or other hair just put on top of the carpet in clumps, which is not all all the issue pet owners deal with. But overall, good video with lots of info on this vacuum. Thank you!

So which one is the best ??????????????????

For many of us who have the berkey system and are looking for new filters could you review Radiant life ss gravity filters, Greenfield aquametix & cerametix, British berkefeld ultra sterasyl ceramic and Doulton ceramic? Ty!

Water drop vs Clearly please?

? Win you remotely control it it will bot back up at all but will go forward left right but will bot back up is that what it sopose to do

At this price they could have added a mechanical system for the cord

1:19 😳 dayum lol

The debris test might give inaccurate results in a four walled simulation as shown in the video. I'm a Q8 Max+ owner and my robovac throws particles in other directions on hard floor (non rug), sometimes under the couch and other places that it might have already cleaned. In such cases, I usually have it on the 2X cleaning mode to ensure dual passes.

Hmm - so it seems like your soil has a lot of uranium and strontium in the soil where you live so that's how it's getting into your water. I never thought to check this first before looking to move to a place.

Ty but can’t hear the low settings over the music playing constantly thanks for all the testing

Hello there. As a person looking specifically to see how it handles pet hair, I'm a little sad you didn't show how the head looked after vacuuming the pet hair :/ The machine I have now is horrible with the hair, and I don't know much about vacuum heads to really know what to look for. Would be nice to find one, where the hair doesn't clog up the whole head after each use. In either case, thanks for the review. Very well in-depth.

If you have the same lab results for all of the filters you said were better than the Berkey filters, please post the results of those lab reports. Just back up your words with data so we, your viewers, can make informed decisions. To simplify this... Tell us WHAT TO BUY, instead of what NOT TO BUY. Thanks for posting this video. 👍

your test bed need taller wall... the lidar is not hitting them and that's causing the "strange" behaviour. the robots think they have more floor to cover, but they hit the wall with the bupper, giving it miss signals.

I just want a simple robot vacuum. No mopping or self emptying. I have all vinyl floors. I've had Roombas in the past and none of them lasted. Is there one that actually lasts? Thank you for your time!!!

bro... What a great video. Excellent tests and presentation

Why are there so many different models… I would expect each company to have like 2-3 but it’s not like that at all

What about the leviot IQ cordless?

What are your thoughts on the Clearly Filtered Water pitcher?? Saw your video on LifeStraw pitcher because I was deciding between the 2. Wondering if the Clearly filtered pitcher is legit or not. Does waterdrop also remove PFAS and microplastics?

I saw a few like Dreame L10 Which can do vacuum even with the mop attached. I see that for this one, I have to remove the mop and then ask for it to do vacuum. I know I am nitpicking but I am guessing it works that way only.
