About Floorpilot
We help Australians choose a robot vacuum: which ones suit which homes, what the specs mean, and where each number comes from.
What we do
Floorpilot is a small, independent site about robot vacuums and robot mops. Here is what's on it:
- The Robot Matcher. Six questions about your home. It shows every robot in our list that does what you asked, and says why the others were left out.
- Buying guides. Three picks for one kind of home or budget, compared side by side.
- Head-to-heads. Two named robots compared, with the rows where they differ marked.
- The list. All 41 robots we compare, each with a spec sheet.
- Explainers. What suction figures, mop types and docks mean for your floors.
Where our facts come from
We read each product's specs from the brand's own page where we can, and from the shop listing where we can't. Each spec sheet shows which one a number came from, and the date we checked it.
If a brand doesn't give a number, we print "Not stated". We don't fill the gap with a guess.
We don't test products ourselves. We compare what the brands publish, and say which homes each one suits. How we pick has the detail.
Who writes here
Two bylines appear on Floorpilot. Both are pen names, and each covers its own topics.
- Emma Walsh: buying guides and head-to-heads.
- Lachlan Ford: how the tech works.
How we make money
If you buy through one of our links, the shop pays us a commission. You pay the same price either way. Our disclosure page explains how it works.
