Appliances are sold on a headline number (pascals, BTU, decibels) that rarely decides the outcome. We find the figure that does: how high a mop lifts over your carpet, how tall a threshold a robot can climb. Maker figures where they exist, Vacuum Wars measurements where they do not.
Roborock, Dreame, Narwal, ECOVACS, iRobot and eufy flagships compared on mop-lift height and threshold climb — the two millimetre figures that decide whether it works in your house.
One guide so far, and it ended up being about two millimetre figures rather than the headline suction number: how high the mop lifts over your carpet, and how tall a threshold the robot climbs. Suction in pascals spanned 19,500 to 36,000 across eight flagships and did not track how well any of them cleaned carpet.
We publish home appliances guides as we finish the research rather than to a schedule. Only the pieces we've actually completed appear here — we don't list placeholders.
