Kilgone Robot Vacuum

Clean, in most homes. Mopping is where the Kilgone G20 does best, leaving tile and hardwood clean after a run. In one case a mop pad came loose and snagged mid-run, so press the pad on firmly before each session. Think of it as light upkeep mopping, not a scrub.

Usually not. Most find the G20 quiet enough to run while they're home, though one found it a little loud. Kilgone doesn't list a decibel rating, so if noise is a worry, schedule it for when the house is empty.

Yes. The G20 is low enough to get under sofas and similar furniture, so it reaches dust that an upright never gets to. Those are the spots that build up the most between deep cleans, and they're where a robot this size earns its place.

It cleans hardwood, tile, laminate, bare floors and low-pile carpet.

Often. The bin holds 0.23 L, so expect to empty it after most runs, more so with pets. The filter is cloth, and the G20 runs for up to 120 minutes before it heads back to its dock.
