WYBOT C1: what it gives up
- Up to 150 minutes a charge, a figure WYBOT gives for floor cleaning rather than a full cycle
- A 1,615 sq ft rating, roughly half the $469 Sora 10's
- The $500 C2 adds a 10 µm filter and 30 more minutes
WYBOT B1: what it gives up
- Two hours per charge and a 1,150 sq ft rating
- The C1 costs $65 more and adds self-parking and a second warranty year
- No published weight, so it can't be compared with the 17.6 lb C1
