What brands don’t tell you

Our first rule is evidence or zero: if a brand doesn’t publish what a criterion needs, the robot scores 0 on it and the page says “Not disclosed”. We never guess. That means a brand can raise its score just by publishing the information. Here is everything the brands in our first Spanish batch leave out, and what it costs them in points.

Draft scores, in review. “Up to” means the points the robot would gain if the published information put it at the top level.

Running costs top the list. To compute a yearly cost, every core consumable needs an official price and the maker’s replacement interval, and six of the robot vacuums leave at least one out. Whether third-party consumables work is the next most common gap.

Brand by brand

Cecotec

Cecotec Conga X100 · 10/100, up to +25 points if disclosed

  • C1Consumables per year up to +8No official price and replacement interval for main brush, side brush, filter, dust bag, mop, so the yearly cost can't be computed.
  • C3Open consumables up to +6No manufacturer statement or independent test found either way.
  • I1Works without the manufacturer's cloud up to +8No Cecotec statement on whether the X100 cleans or follows schedules without the app/cloud.
  • P3Data control up to +3Cecotec defers app privacy to each app developer's policy; no in-app deletion or advertising statement found.

Dreame

Dreame L50 Ultra AE · 29.3/100, up to +4 points if disclosed

  • R5Independent repair up to +4Nothing published on parts pairing. Warranty excludes damage attributable to unauthorised third-party repairs and unapproved modifications; no statement that opening or third-party repair keeps the warranty.

Ecovacs

Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI · 29/100, up to +8 points if disclosed

  • C1Consumables per year up to +8No official price and replacement interval for main brush, side brush, so the yearly cost can't be computed.

Ecovacs WINBOT W2S OMNI · 24.3/100, up to +14 points if disclosed

  • C1Consumables per year up to +8No official price and replacement interval for cleaning pads, so the yearly cost can't be computed.
  • C3Open consumables up to +6Not disclosed whether third-party pads work normally; the EU warranty excludes damage from parts or consumables not offered or recommended by Ecovacs.

eufy

eufy Omni C28 · 8.9/100, up to +18.3 points if disclosed

  • C3Open consumables up to +6No evidence of chips, but no test or statement that third-party consumables work; eufy only warns about third-party quality.
  • I1Works without the manufacturer's cloud up to +8Setup requires a eufy account and there is a physical start button, but eufy does not say whether cleaning or schedules work without the app or cloud. Scores 0 without a cloud-dependency claim (no G1).
  • P3Data control up to +4.3The Spanish privacy policy shows no in-app account deletion and lists location use for 'promoción de marketing'.

Lefant

Lefant M3 Max · 5/100, up to +34 points if disclosed

Narwal

Narwal Flow (Basic Dock) · 21/100, up to +18 points if disclosed

  • C1Consumables per year up to +8No official price and replacement interval for main brush, so the yearly cost can't be computed.
  • C3Open consumables up to +6No test or statement that third-party consumables work; Narwal warns that non-official parts may be incompatible.
  • R5Independent repair up to +4Narwal warns against non-official parts and gives no statement on third-party repair or parts pairing.

Roborock

Roborock Saros 20 · 28/100, up to +11 points if disclosed

  • C1Consumables per year up to +8No official price and replacement interval for dust bag, so the yearly cost can't be computed.
  • I4End-of-life commitment up to +3No published commitment that the device keeps working if Roborock's cloud shuts down. Matter offers some partial local control, but that is not a commitment.

Worx

Worx Landroid Vision Cloud 800 m² · 47/100, up to +14 points if disclosed

  • I1Works without the manufacturer's cloud up to +8Setup needs a Worx account and mapping is done in the app. RTK positioning uses corrections streamed from Worx's cloud. Worx publishes nothing on whether scheduled mowing continues without internet or the cloud.
  • S2Update track record up to +6Worx publishes no firmware changelog or release dates. The ES Landroid support page only points to the account portal for updates; the Worx wiki firmware pages for 2019/2020 M/L models now return 404. Searches and the Home Assistant landroid_cloud tracker showed firmware versions (e.g. WR111MI on 5.25.0+1) but no release dates, so no evidence that models launched 4+ or 2+ years ago got an update in the last 12 months.

Our own gaps

Some zeros are on us, not the brand: information that may well be published, but that we haven’t finished reading. These show as “Research pending” and will be filled before any score is published.
