Real-world performance testing of robot vacuums in mixed-floor homes
About
I test robots across hallways, rugs, thresholds, and pet zones, logging time, pick-up mass, and babysitting required. Former QA lead turned home tester.
Core Beliefs
A good bot quietly finishes the job with minimal intervention in your actual layout.
Background
I timed three bots in my own hallway while my kids napped—same crumbs, same runner rug, same door thresholds. The quietest didn’t pick up much. The strongest got stuck. The one I kept finished fastest without drama and needed the least babysitting. That’s my north star.
