Up to three

All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.

Where each one suits you.

The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.

Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
Condition Ecovacs Deebot Neo 4.0 iLife V3s Pro
Home size
Under 1,500 sqft GoodA 50-minute clean used about 30% battery for GadgetGuy, so small homes finish on one charge. Good90-minute runtime covers homes under 1,000 sqft. Random navigation acceptable for compact layouts.
1,500 – 3,000they differ DependsRuntime is long, but the 350 ml bin fills quickly and there is no auto-empty dock. Poor90-minute runtime insufficient and random-walk navigation causes incomplete coverage on homes over 1,500 sqft.
Over 3,000they differ DependsLarge homes will overfill the 350 ml bin, and new floor maps must start from the dock. PoorNot suitable for homes over 3,000 sqft; limited runtime and chaotic navigation would require multiple daily sessions.
Primary floors
Hard floors GoodDigital Reviews Network saw crumbs and most flour cleared, and GadgetGuy found tiles cleaned well. GoodOptimized for sealed hard floors. 600 Pa suction adequate for dust and light debris on tile, wood, and laminate.
Low / medium pilethey differ GoodGadgetGuy found dense loop carpet noticeably cleaner, and EFTM's carpet looked brilliant after one pass. Depends600 Pa suction struggles with low-pile carpet; owner reports show visible dust residue and slow pickup speed.
High pile / shagthey differ DependsDigital Reviews Network saw it judder getting onto plush carpet, and no deep-pile test was reported. PoorOwner reports document suction loss and poor fiber engagement on high-pile and shag carpets.
Mopping needs
Vacuum only GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. GoodVacuum-only robot — matches a vacuum-only need.
Light moppingthey differ GoodFlat mop pad handles light, routine wiping of hard floors. PoorThis model has no mopping function.
Frequent moppingthey differ DependsA dragged pad freshens floors but lacks the pressure or scrubbing for heavy, frequent mopping. PoorNo mop at all; choose a vacuum-and-mop robot instead.
You want to…
Empty bin myself GoodOwners who empty bins and wash pads will manage its manual upkeep easily. GoodWeekly bin emptying and monthly filter cleaning align with hands-on expectations; no dock infrastructure.
Empty occasionallythey differ DependsEvery run needs the bin emptied and, when mopping, the pad washed by hand. GoodSimple maintenance schedule fits mixed-effort routines. No consumable dock or subscriptions required.
Set-and-forget PoorIt has no auto-empty or pad washing, so it cannot run for days without attention. PoorManual power button activation required for each session; no scheduling capability contradicts hands-off operation.

A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
