SRR Score is our independent benchmark based on robot vacuum features. The total score is calculated automatically by using all the robot vacuums data from our database. Here is an example of our data manually collected about all the robot vacuums:
Each feature increases the score by a certain number of points. How many points a robot vacuum can get for a particular feature? It depends on how important and innovative the feature is (in our opinion). The total score is a sum of all the points from the table below.
