ServiceBot compares the robots and smart tech sold in Australia, model by model, so you can work out which one suits your home before you spend the money.

There's no shortage of robots and automation gadgets out there. What's missing is straight advice on which one to buy. This is how we put a guide together.
Brands publish different numbers in different units. We put them side by side, model by model, so you're comparing like with like.
A great machine you can't buy here is no use to you. We check the Australian listing and the brand's own Australian page.
Warranty terms, what they actually cover, and who you deal with when something breaks. The boring part, done for you.
Where a brand doesn't publish a figure, the guide says so. A blank is more useful than a guess.
A one-bedroom unit in Sydney and a quarter-acre block in Brisbane need very different machines.
Our homes, block sizes, climate and budgets are different to everywhere else. Tiles through the living areas, floorboards in the hall, a pool that runs from November to March, grass that grows hardest from October. Every guide is written with that in mind.
So you'll get a straight answer on whether a machine suits your place, and when nothing on the list does, we'll tell you that too.

We compare the specs each brand publishes and check what's actually sold in Australia.
When you buy through a link on this site we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It doesn't change what we recommend. The details are in our terms.
Start with a buying guide. Our guides name a pick, say who it suits, and say who should look elsewhere.
