Robot vacuum selection, Australia

Which robot vacuum actually fits your home?

Most buying guides answer this with a ranked list and a star score. Neither tells you why a model kept stopping at your 2.5 cm threshold, or that the “hands-free” model needs its bin emptied anyway. This one starts from your home and checks it against what each manufacturer publishes — and says plainly when the answer is nothing.

Open the matcher How it decides

Tell it about your home

Six answers plus a budget. Nothing is sent anywhere — the comparison runs in your browser against manufacturer-published specifications, and every conclusion points back to the specification it came from.

Australian dollars, A$0 to A$20,000. Use the price you can actually pay, not a discounted figure you have not confirmed.

Your flooring The surface it has to clean most of the time.
Pets in the home Hair on the roller is the biggest recurring time cost for pet owners.
Internal thresholds The tallest step it has to cross without you lifting it.
Home size Floor area. Coverage still depends on furniture, not area alone.
How much upkeep will you accept? This is about your weekly effort, not about build quality.
Mopping Whether the mop system is a deciding factor for you.

No account, no email, no cookies, no tracking. The button runs a calculation on this page — there is nothing to submit anywhere.

Nothing is preselected — this site will not choose your answers for you and then call it personalisation.

Start from the decision you are actually making

Each of these answers one question. Not all of them need the matcher.

Find out what fits

Seven answers, then a per-model list of exactly which of your conditions each one meets or fails.

Understand how a model is ruled out

The four possible verdicts, why threshold headroom matters, and where this site refuses to guess.

Work out what you will be doing weekly

What a self-emptying dock actually automates, what it moves to you, and what it never automates.

Read the specifications side by side

4 models, each with the exact page and the exact wording the figures came from.

Check where every number comes from

Manufacturer page, the claim quoted, and the date it was read.

Read the longer explanations

Threshold heights, mop on carpet, dust bag refills and the claims worth reading closely.

What this site will not do

  • It does not score, rank or recommend a “best” robot vacuum. This site has never run one of these machines, so a review score would be invented.
  • It does not earn a commission from any link on this site. A paid link would make “independent” a word rather than a fact.
  • It does not sell anything, and it does not ask for your email. The matcher runs on your device and keeps nothing.
  • It only compares models whose manufacturer publishes the specifications on their Australian site. A model that is missing here may be excellent — it just cannot be checked honestly.
