OUR TAKE	The flagship standard — the retracting nav puck slides under sofas, the chassis climbs thresholds, and the dock does everything. The machine to beat in 2026.	The quiet overachiever — near-flagship suction, removable mop pads for carpet-heavy homes, and a complete dock, priced against mid-tier rivals.
