Robot Vacuums : Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a robot vacuum can feel like a chore in itself. Here is the “no-fluff” breakdown of what actually matters when you’re shopping.
Can they handle high door thresholds?
Traditionally, anything over 2 cm was a “no-go” zone. However, we’ve seen a massive shift in 2025. The Dreame X60 Max Ultra can now scale 88 mm obstacles, and the Mova Mobius 60 uses “Stepmaster 2.0” legs to climb over 80 mm barriers.
Will it soak my carpets while mopping?
Not anymore. Look for Auto-Lift technology. Models like the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone detect carpet and instantly tuck their wet pads away, keeping your rugs dry while the hard floors get a scrub.
How much maintenance do I really have to do?
If you get an “Omni” or “Complete” station, your work is minimal. You’ll swap the dust bag every 2–3 months and top off the water once a week. Some high-end docks, like the Dreame X60, even mix the cleaning solution for you automatically.
What’s the deal with retractable sensors?
Standard LiDAR “turrets” add height, often preventing robots from going under beds. The Dreame X60 features a retractable turret that pops up to map the room and hides when it needs to squeeze into tight, low-clearance spots.
