Apartment-fit checklist

Use your measurements and current quotes. Calculations stay in this page and are not saved or sent to a retailer.

Enter the exact model height and your furniture clearance.

Check before shortlisting

Measure the lowest opening, including rugs and uneven floors. Body height does not prove a robot can navigate every gap. Check thresholds, stair protection, rug handling and dock approach against the manual. Supervise the first run.

This checklist identifies questions to resolve; it does not score pet-hair pickup or certify a home for unattended cleaning. Suction specifications do not establish a cross-brand performance winner.
