How we source facts, check prices and choose picks.
Facts about third-party products come from vendors' official sites or from our recorded store checks. Each directory tool shows the date it was last verified, and a change note when something moved.
Prices appear only where we have checked them, exactly as last checked. A pick without a checked price says so instead of showing an estimate.
Readiness, value and the other scores are RobotWise estimates, written with AI assistance from manufacturer specs, product pages and our recorded store checks. We have not hands-on tested these products, and we do not use customer-review data. Treat a score as a structured reading of the spec sheet and the listing, not a lab result or a user review. The same applies to the scores in the AI tool directory and the AI tool rankings.
A category's top pick is chosen by us and listed first. It is not always the highest-scoring robot in the category: we also weigh things like a checked price and how clearly the listing supports the claims. The other robots follow in alphabetical order, not by score. Head-to-head comparison pages do say which robot has the higher combined readiness and value score.
None of the robots here has been hands-on tested by us yet. If you make a robot and want us to test one, email hello@tryrobotwise.com. We will say on the page that the unit was provided, label the review as hands-on, and publish what we find. Sending a unit does not buy a score, a verdict or a placement.
Some links are affiliate links and sponsors can buy placement. Neither changes tier rankings, scores or picks. See the affiliate disclosure for details.
If a fact or price is out of date, tell us through the contact details on the site and we will re-check it.
