How well a robotic vacuum maneuvers your home should be a strong consideration because it determines the effectiveness of the cleaning process. While both are good at avoiding obstacles, the 360 Eye carries the day. The dust bit design of the V7, V8, or V10 gets increasing better as the models go up, pushing the debris out of the bin instead of relying solely on the debris falling out on its own.
