Vacuum Cleaners test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Robotic Vacuum
models like the IQ RV1001AE are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Carpet:
A high score means the vacuum effectively removes surface debris and embedded dust from medium-pile carpet. A top-scoring model picks up more debris from carpet per run.
Bare floors:
A high score means the vacuum effectively removes surface debris like sand from smooth hard floors. A top-scoring model picks up more debris from non-carpeted flooring per run.
Navigation:
A composite score that includes combined coverage over multiple runs, clearance under furniture and obstacle and entrapment avoidance.
