Working System Builder

Tell us the job and a few facts about your home. You'll get up to three complete systems: every required piece, setup time, the 3-year cost, and what each one can't do. If nothing we've verified fits, it says so.

What job do you need done?

Keep my floors cleanVacuum and mop robots, matched to your floors, pets and budget.Keep my pool cleanCordless and corded robots matched to your pool and how much lifting you can do.Mow my lawnWire-free and wired mowers matched to yard size, slope and tree cover. These are fit-for-yard matches, not performance rankings.Help a parent live alone safelyMedical alerts, watches and camera-free options — each labeled with exactly who responds in an emergency.Check on my home while I'm awayRolling cameras and simple hubs for looking in on a home or pets. None of these are emergency systems.

The System Builder needs JavaScript. You can still browse every system on our guide pages: floors, pool, lawn, a parent living alone.

How the Builder decides

Each answer either rules products in or out (an in-ground-only robot never appears for an above-ground pool) or changes how well a product fits (a 17 mm mop lift ranks higher for a home with thick rugs). Ties go to the lower 3-year cost.

Only products we checked were for sale on October 10, 2026 appear. Preorders, prototypes and discontinued products never do.

What the 3-year cost includes

Price, one-time fees, 36 months of any subscription, required add-ons with published prices, and an upkeep estimate (consumables, blades) that we label as ours. Required items without a published price are listed as "varies" and marked with a + on the total.

Your answers stay in your browser and in the page address so you can share results. We don't store them.
