BEHIND THE REVIEWS

About me & Charlie

Independent robot vacuum tests. Real life included.

STEVE-RVC

I do the testing.
Charlie supplies the real life.

I’m the creator behind Steve-RVC. I test robot vacuums at home and share what happens on real floors, around real furniture and through everyday cleaning.

Steve-RVC started because Charlie has a severe dust mite allergy. We had spent thousands of euros on veterinary care without seeing any improvement. I began investigating whether a robot vacuum could help us manage dust at home. That personal question became the starting point for my independent, hands-on tests.

Navigation, pickup, mopping and maintenance all matter. I want the reviews to show both the useful features and the frustrating details, so you can decide what works for your home.

A higher price does not automatically mean a better fit. This site brings the reviews and store options together without turning different types of robot into one universal ranking.

MEET CHARLIE

The unofficial test supervisor

Charlie is my bull terrier and the playful face you see around Steve-RVC. Life with a dog is part of the home these robots have to handle.

She brings the character. I carry out the tests, review the results and make the videos.

Independent, with clear links

The reviews focus on hands-on experience and honest strengths and weaknesses. Some store links are affiliate links: a purchase may earn Steve-RVC a commission at no extra cost to you.
