Every listing leads with a Pa number — from 5,000 Pa to 25,000 Pa across the 12 models we track. Here is what that number actually buys, and where it stops mattering.

The unit
A pascal measures pressure difference — how hard the vacuum pulls. Manufacturers quote the motor's maximum, not sustained suction at the floor head, so treat Pa as a ceiling, not a promise. Real pickup also depends on airflow path and brush design, which no listing numbers capture.
The tiers
Across the 12 models we track, the field splits naturally: an entry tier doing daily hard-floor duty, a mid tier that adds low-pile carpet, and a flagship tier north of 8,000 Pa aimed at carpet, pets, and deep cleaning. The spread from 5,000 to 25,000 Pa is real — but so are diminishing returns past the point where your floors are already clean.
The tradeoff
Maximum suction drains batteries and adds noise. If your home is mostly hard flooring without pets, a mid-tier robot running daily will out-clean a flagship running weekly. Match the machine to the mess, not the marketing.
The data
Sorted by suction (Pa), strongest first. Missing specs show as — and are excluded from that model's score with the remaining weights rescaled. Full formula on the methodology page ↗
