Vacuums basics
Cordless stick or robot vacuum?
A cordless stick is the one you pick up for stairs, sofas, cars and quick spills. A robot vacuum cleans the floors on a schedule while you get on with your day. Many homes run both.
What does Pa mean on a robot vacuum?
Pa (pascals) is how makers state suction: how hard the robot pulls dirt up. A higher number pulls harder, but the brush, the dock and the navigation matter just as much.
Is a self-emptying dock worth it?
If you don't want to empty a small bin after every run, yes. The dock pulls the dust into a bag that lasts weeks, so you only change the bag.
