The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the chore of vacuuming a bit less painful. Modern models can also mop, and climb (small) steps.

They have a small dustbin that they empty themselves, and some can be operated by a smartphone app instead of an actual remote. Some come with mapping features to help them navigate more efficiently.

1. Power

With 8,000Pa of suction power, our top pick for robot vacuums is powerful enough to take on the toughest dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin design of the square allows it to slide under furniture, such as beds and sofas, and its Dual-Laser LiDAR technology provides precise navigation and accurate obstacle avoidance. It's also great at cleaning pet hair, baking powder and other messes around baseboards and corners.

In addition to the DEEBOT X2 OMNI bot, other top-of-the-line bots on this list include the iRobot Roomba j7+ and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with docking stations that automatically performs maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction, coupled with its efficient mopping, kept my floors clean of pet hair, muddy prints and other messes on every type of floor we tested.

In the lower price range, a unit with a suction capacity of around 2,500Pa is more than adequate for the majority of homes. These models are quieter, and, therefore, a better choice for those with sensitive ears. They're not silent but they're not the same volume as conversations at home.

Think about your budget and cleaning needs to find the perfect combination of power and usability. Regular light-duty cleaning requires a longer runtime and a lower suction, while weekly high-volume cleaning demands maximum power. Then assess your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules to select the best model for your requirements. We recommend looking through our entire list of robot vacuum reviews; visit site, and ratings to get more details about the latest models available. Many users have reported that their carpets and bare floor look cleaner after using a robot vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum isn't able to perform its job properly when it doesn't know how to navigate your home. This is why the best robots rely on advanced navigation technology that effectively scans rooms and builds an outline map to ensure thorough cleaning without getting lost or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation: LiDAR, camera and sensor.

The most expensive models use LiDAR to create a virtual map of the room, delivering the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Bump sensors are utilized in less expensive models, but they aren't always accurate and miss a lot debris when working in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors to stop them from falling off stairs or other drops.

A number of the robots I tested utilized object recognition to navigate around things like fake dog turds. However, the Eufy X10 was the best robot vacuum that mops. It was equipped with powerful oscillating mop heads, a user friendly app with excellent mapping capabilities.

Take into consideration features such as floor type sensors that automatically increase suction power when needed. Some robots, like the Roborock mops, use a mopping pad lift to get into corners and clean up dried spills. Many hybrids can even apply cleaning solutions to stubborn staining.

A smaller size of the bin will mean less frequent emptying while a bigger one can save you money on replacements. Most low-cost robotic cleaners use a small disposable dust bag. However, most mid-range models have larger 3L dustbins that last for a long time. Certain premium robots such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station can self-empty and refill their water tanks for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The majority of robot vacuums come with an app that can monitor the progress of cleaning and schedule sessions. They also connect to smart home devices. They also sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for control via voice. Some models have a remote control that allows you to start, pause, and return to dock. Pick a model that comes with a larger trash bin and can self-empty, rather than one that requires manual emptying.

Some robovacs come with mapping technology that allows them to remember obstacles, like the stairs, and also avoid running into furniture. Certain robovacs permit you to define no-go zones and rooms to ensure that they only clean the areas that require it the most. They also have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down the staircase, which is particularly helpful in multi-level homes.

If you intend to use your robot vacuum to clean rugs choose one that can perform dry mopping and wet. You'll have better results cleaning if your robot vacuum can also take off its mop pad. Rinse it and then reattach it when you need to run a new cleaning cycle. Also look for a robot that has a rubber roll that is less prone to tangles from pet hair and other debris than a bristle roll that is found on less expensive models. Check the robot's side brushes and brushroll for any debris that may have become stuck on. Do this once or twice per week. If you notice that they're starting to get blocked, it could be time to purchase replacement parts.

4. Debris collection

As the name implies, robot vacuums are designed to remove dust and other debris from your floors. The best ones are able to pick fine particles such as baking soda and sand as larger pieces such as orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. They also get better pickup results on low-pile carpets than most manual vacuums.

In all flooring types, the top performing robots had pick-up scores of more than 95 95%. Our two best-performing robots in this category were the ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI, and the Roborock Q Revo. Both are highly automated and feature robust docking stations that perform maintenance on their own. They also have features in the app that make them extremely user-friendly.

They both have self-emptying bins that suck up the contents of the wastebasket and clean the washboard while you mow. They also feature 8,000Pa suction, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance technology that helps them find their way around even the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS robot is among the few that can clean carpet and remove mop pads. This makes it a perfect choice for users who have to switch between mopping and vacuuming often.

If you're seeking a lower-cost option, check out the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot Plus, our budget pick. It features LIDAR navigation and decent debris pickup performance for the price. It's slow to map rooms and can be prone to hitting obstacles however it's much less expensive than our other top-rated picks.

5. Battery life

The top robot vacuums best vacuums are designed to let you go to work while keeping your floors in tip-top clean. While you'll still need to give your home a manual automatic hoover every now and again robot vacuums can help you maintain a standard of cleanliness and even keep your home clean even when you're away.

Look for a robovac with a long-lasting battery to get the most out of it. If you use the highest power setting, a model should last two cleaning sessions. This is not as long as a full-sized vacuum cleaner, but it should be enough to cover most homes. If you don't want to sit while your robovac recharges you can opt for a model that automatically returns to the base station for charging.

If you want a robovac that can do a bit of everything, consider an all-in-one robot that can mop too. Eufy's X10 is the most effective model in this class and includes self-emptying, self-draining and self-refilling of your dust bin and mop pad. It is also programmable to automatically re-fill and wash mops when they're empty.

The clear winner in our tests is the Dyson V810 thanks to its impressive carpet and hard floor pickup, outstanding hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and nearly perfect auto empty score. It's expensive and, unless you live in a the space of a small home with no pets, it may be too costly for certain. The runner-up is the Dreametech D10+, has the same performance, but is priced 25% less.
