- Is 20 kPa enough suction?
- It is fine for hard floors, crumbs and light pet hair. On medium or deep carpet it will not pull out embedded dirt the way a 5,000 Pa or higher robot does.
- How does the self-empty base work?
- The robot docks and the base pulls debris from its onboard bin into a larger bag or container. You empty that container every few weeks instead of the robot's bin after each run.
- Does it map rooms?
- Expect basic navigation rather than full lidar mapping and no-go zones. It cleans in patterns but may miss spots or need rescuing more often than mapping robots.
- Can it mop and vacuum at the same time?
- Yes, it can run both functions in one pass. The mopping is a light wipe for dust and surface marks, not a scrub for dried stains.
- What comes in the box?
- The robot, the self-emptying charging station and a power adapter. Check the listing for any extra mop pads or side brushes.
- Is it good for pet hair?
- It picks up loose hair on hard floors and low-pile rugs. Hair can wrap around the brush, so plan to clean the brush regularly.
- Where is the Aoibox Robot Vacuum and Mop cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $2,187.21, as of our latest check.
