The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the chore of vacuuming a bit less painful. Today's models also mop and climb (small) stairs.

Some have a small trash bin that they empty by themselves. Others can be controlled by apps for smartphones instead of the physical remote. Some models have mapping capabilities to aid in navigating your home more effectively.

1. Power

Our top pick for robotic hoovers vacuums has a suction power of 8000Pa, which is strong enough to eliminate even the most difficult dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin design of the square allows it to slide underneath furniture such as beds and sofas and its Dual-Laser LIDAR technology allows for precise navigation and accurate obstacle avoidance. It also does an excellent job at cleaning pet hair, baking soda, and other debris near the baseboards and in corners.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, the other powerful bots in this list include the iRobot Roomba J7+ and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has docking station that automatically performs maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction, coupled with its effective mopping feature, ensured my floors were free of pet hair, muddy prints, and other debris on every floor we test.

In the lower price range, a model that has 2,500Pa of suction is more than adequate for the majority of homes. They are also quieter and therefore a better option for those who have sensitive ears. They're not quiet, but they're not as loud as a normal conversation at home.

Consider your budget and cleaning needs to find the right combination of power and usability. Regular light-duty cleaning requires a longer runtime and a lower suction, while weekly high-volume cleaning requires a lot of power. Assess your flooring, home layout and cleaning schedule prior to choosing the right model. We recommend looking through our complete list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings for more details on the most recent models available. Many users have reported that their carpets and bare floors look cleaner after using a robot vacuums that mop vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum cannot perform its task without knowing how to navigate your home. This is why the most effective robots depend on sophisticated navigation systems that consistently scans rooms and creates a map to ensure thorough cleaning without being lost or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation: LiDAR-based, sensor-based, and camera-based.

LiDAR is used by the most expensive models to create a virtual room map, offering the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Bump sensors are utilized in lower-end models, however they can be inaccurate and miss a lot of debris when working in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down stairs or other falls.

Several robots in my tests employed object recognition to skillfully navigate around things such as fake dog turds and cords, however, the best was the Eufy X10. It had superb mapping capabilities, powerful oscillating mops, a user-friendly app and the ability to clean a specific area, room or the all of the house.

Take into consideration features such as sensors for floors that automatically boost suction power when needed. Some robots, such as the Roborock mop utilize mopping pads lift to reach into corners and clean dried spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solutions to tough staining.

A smaller dustbin will mean less frequent emptying while a bigger one can save you money on replacements. The most affordable robotic cleaners generally utilize a small disposable dust bag, while the mid-range models typically have larger 3L dustbins that can last for ages. Certain high-end robots, such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station are able to self-empty and fill up their water tank for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

Most robot cleaner vacuums come with an app that monitors the progress of cleaning, schedule sessions and connect to smart home devices. Most also connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for control via voice. Certain models come with a remote control that allows you to start or pause and then return to dock. Find a model with larger dustbins that self-empty, rather than one that requires manual emptying.

Some robots are equipped with mapping technology that can help them recognize obstacles, such as stairs, and avoid running into furniture. Others let you designate no-go zones and targeted rooms, ensuring that they only clean areas that need it most. They also have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down stairs, which is especially beneficial in multi-level homes.

If you are planning to make use of your robot vacuum to clean rugs choose one that can perform dry and wet mopping. You'll be able to get better cleaning results when your vacuum can also take off its mop pad. Clean it and reconnect it when you want to conduct a clean-up cycle. Find robots that have a rubber roller. It is less likely to become tangled from pet hair or other particles. Examine the robot's side brushes and brushroll for any debris that may have gotten stuck on. Make sure to do this at least twice a week. If you notice that they're beginning to get blocked, it could be time to purchase replacement parts.

4. Debris collection

Robot vacuums are created to, as the name suggests, to collect dust and debris from your floors. The best robot vacuums can pick up small particles such as baking soda and sand, as well as larger ones like metal screws orzo, pet hair. They also provide better results on carpets with a low pile than manual vacuums.

All flooring types are covered, and the top-performing robots had pickup scores of greater than 95%. The two top performers 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 apps that make them incredibly user-friendly.

Both come with self-emptying bins which automatically take the contents of the wastebasket, and clean the washboard while mowing. They also have suction of 8,000Pa, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance that can help them navigate even the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS robot is among the few that can mop carpet and remove the mop pads. This makes it an ideal option for those who need to switch between mopping and vacuuming frequently.

If you want a cheaper option, we suggest the iRobot Roomba Kombo J7+, our budget pick. It features LIDAR navigation at reasonable prices and decent debris collection performance. It is slow when it comes to mapping rooms and is prone to hitting obstacles, but the price is lower than the other choices.

5. Battery life

The top robot vacuums are made to let you go on with your life while keeping your floors in tip-top clean. You'll still need to manually clean your home every so often but robovacs can help you maintain a basic standard of cleanliness, and even clean while you're away.

Look for a robovac with a long-lasting battery to get the most of it. A good guideline is to anticipate a model to last for around two cleaning sessions if you use it on the highest power setting. This is less than a full-sized vacuum cleaner, but it will be sufficient to cover most homes. If you don't want to sit while your robovac recharges you can select an option that will automatically return to the base station to charge.

If you want a robovac that can do a bit of everything, think about an all-in-one model that is able to mop as well. Eufy's X10 is the most effective model in this category and offers self-emptying, self-draining and self-refilling of your dust bin as well as the mop pad. It can be programmed to automatically refill and wash mops as soon as they run out.

Its dependable carpet and hard floor pick up excellent hair pickup, tangle prevention, and its close to perfect auto empty scores makes it the clear winner of our test scores. It's not cheap, however and unless you have a a small home without pets, it may be too pricey for some. The Dreametech D10+ is the runner-up and has a similar performance, but is priced around 25% less.
