3 Things to Know About LiDAR in Robot Vacuums

Worth it for complex layouts LiDAR is valuable if you have a large house with multiple rooms or intricate floor plans. It enables precise mapping and room-by-room cleaning control.

Overkill for open-plan apartments In a small, simple open-plan apartment, a cheaper camera-based navigation model works just as well. You are paying for precision you will not use.

Not necessary for basic cleaning If you only need basic cleaning without zoning or scheduling specific rooms, skip LiDAR. Stick with a budget-friendly option that handles straightforward spaces.
