Robot vacuum cleaners (e.g., Roomba-type) are classified under 8508.11 as vacuum cleaners with self-contained electric motor. Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners are also 8508.11. Central vacuum systems are 8508.19. The navigation system and sensors of a robot vacuum are integral parts — they do not re-classify the product. Robot mops that vacuum and mop simultaneously are also 8508.11. Separate mopping attachments sold with robot vacuums take the same classification as the robot.
