Here are some information I collected over time of my own vacuum robots and some information I found elsewhere. This table is far from complete, as I still need to sort my documents and files ;) If you find a mistake, feel free to contact me (dennis [at] dontvacuum.me).

* No does not mean that it is not possible or does not exist. It is just that I don't own the model, have no interest in it, it is not on my priority list or I did not publish it yet. "Since" date gives you an idea since when *my* robots were rooted or when I rooted someone else robot.
