We’ve decided to try something new where we post threads earlier in the test bench update process. Our goal is to better inform our users about the work we’re actively doing while also giving everyone more opportunities to impact the test bench update!

While we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to implement all the suggestions from this thread, Pierre-André, our Test Designer for vacuums, will actively review this thread to consider all feedback and to provide updates throughout the test bench update process!

That said, we just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve started working on a test bench update for vacuums that would treat robot vacuums and regular vacuums as two separate product categories! Our goal is to use this as an opportunity to increase the quality of our robot vacuum reviews by including obstacle navigation testing that wouldn’t be relevant for normal vacuums.

Most importantly, we want to hear from all of you! What has your experience been with robot vacuums so far? Is there anything specific you’d like to see in our reviews?

Note this is a trial for the time being, and we can’t guarantee we will be doing this for all future test bench updates. So, if this something you want to see us do more frequently for other product categories, follow this thread and share your thoughts with us!
