How to Read Robot Vacuum Specs

Here is how to read robot vacuum specs on WhichVac: use the cited number, the source name, and the date, and stop when the cell says Not published. A score is the formula on those inputs. It is not a dirt test, and a review price is not Amazon's price.

A pascal number is a manufacturer rating, not a promise about your carpet. WhichVac scores it on a line that reaches 100 at 25,000 Pa and then stops climbing. A robot with no published pascal figure is left blank. It is not given an average.

Navigation is scored only when a source names the system: bump-and-bounce, a camera, LiDAR, or LiDAR plus a camera. “It got around my living room” is not a sensor class, so it does not become a score.

The same rule covers mop hardware. Dual spinning pads, a sonic pad, a plain pad, and a roller are different mechanisms. If a review only says the robot mops, the cleaning score uses a neutral middle value and marks the result partial.

Questions people ask

How do I read robot vacuum specs without a lab?

Read the cited number, the source, and the date. If the cell says Not published, stop. Do not average in a guess.

Is a higher pascal rating always a better clean?

No. Pascal is a published motor rating, capped in our formula at 25,000. It is not a dirt-pickup test.

What does partial on a score mean?

Part of that score's weight had no published input, or the formula used a labeled assumption. The breakdown lists which.

Is a cited price the same as Amazon's price?

No. A cited snapshot is a number from a named page on a named date. Amazon's price appears only when the Creators API or PA-API returns it.

Can a brand pay WhichVac to rank higher?

No. Lists have no paid placements. Rank follows the formula on the methodology page. A brand cannot buy a slot.
