Show the facts and the math
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “I want control by app or voice”, “I care about having a cleaning cycle”, and “I want room to get in and clean deeper”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedDaily output is the maximum the maker publishes. Room temperature, water temperature and the size of the storage bin can all lower what you get in practice. The median draws on the 19 of 23 models that publish comparable figures.
