How to Choose the best combo vacuum robot vacuum cleaner (clemensen-Odonnell.federatedjournals.com)

A robot vacuum can save you a lot of time and hassle when it comes to regular cleaning. Top performers are good at getting rid of dust light debris, cords and dust.

The more expensive ones will even sweep your floor but they aren't able to climb up the stairs. Look for models with smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots that we tested are efficient and easy to use and are able to cope with everyday debris. You'll want a robot with decent carpet-picking power and the ability to take on stairs. If you're looking for a model with additional features, think about a model that has smart mapping technology or an app to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tested numerous robotic vacuums. She's a fan of the robot vacuums that provide the greatest convenience, including self-emptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and refill the water tanks used by mopping robots. She also likes robots that detect landmarks such as furniture legs and power cords so they don't get caught when climbing stairs.

This robot from Black and Decker has a lower score for navigation and has less technology for avoiding objects than the top-rated models. It does however have an enormous dust bin that doesn't require regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. Additionally, it comes with the ability to schedule cleaning sessions and then return to the location where it last stopped and makes it much easier to tackle larger areas. This model is also a great option for pet owners since it can spot and eliminate hair tangled and fallen food particles.

In our tests, we observed that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined the LIDAR (light) sensor which can identify rooms and obstacles with a structured-light sensor to identify objects as well as detect edges. This combination lets it avoid steps, drops of liquid, and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps to be used in the future for references. It is able to pause and resume cleaning at any point, so you can continue to do chores while it is working. The app provides a 3D view of your home with room labels and advanced cleaning options.

This robot is not as efficient in cleaning like our top models, however it is great in removing heavier objects like orzo pasta, metal screws and fine debris such as sand. Its only drawbacks are that it isn't able to mop and has a slightly less efficient navigation system.

The best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, pick one that scores high for carpet and rug maneuverability and pickup. Many models are good at cleaning dust from low-pile rugs, and some are capable of sweeping up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and metal screws. But they don't pick up fine particles as well as an upright or canister vacuum and can miss ground-in dirt close to thresholds and baseboards.

For most carpeted homes the 2-in-1 robot vacuum is the best option. You can swap out a cleaning bin to a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that can clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads spinning at 200 revolutions per minute. It detects and lifts the pads when it is in contact with carpet, preventing it from soaking the floor. Additionally, you don't have to take them off or replace them after every use. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuum/mops at keeping away from obstacles such as rugs and thresholds and eliminating obstacles.

Another option that is worth considering is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which was a great performer in our tests and can be scheduled using the app to clean when you're away from home. It can also be set to only mop, and we liked its impressive navigation on both carpets and floors as well as its ability to go up and over furniture. The Combo i5 also has a extremely long run time and excellent path planning for such a small device.

If you're looking for a high-tech model, consider the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It has a large charging dock that can go months without needing to be emptied and boasts impressive navigation skills and auto-emptying on carpets and floors. It also has an intelligent mapping system that can be programmed to operate during certain hours of the day (a useful feature that can keep the sly kids and pets from causing chaos). The Shark isn't as powerful as other mop/robot combinations however, it still picks up pet hair and hair with a high degree of accuracy. It's also the best value of our top choices.

Ideal for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are best for floors made of hardwood, since they can maneuver around obstacles easily without damaging the surfaces that are not. They are great at picking up dust and crumbs, but they struggle with pet hair or other debris. They lack the suction power of a top-of-the-line upright or canister automatic vacuum, so they're not the best option for rooms with carpets or deep automatic cleaning robot upholstery.

The most effective robots are those that come with two-in-one features, combining the power of a mop with a vacuum to complete the job in one go. Look for models that have an onboard sensor that can detect any changes in the flooring and adjust suction in line with the changes. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and lets it effortlessly transition from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If you have lots of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to think about a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model is an impressive robotic vacuum that has smart navigation that can clean hardwood and other surfaces. It can also mop. The sensors help it avoid stairs and other hazards so you don't need to worry about the bot plummeting down the stairs and breaking your hardwood.

The Eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors by applying downward pressure, rather than simply swab them to remove dirt and dust. Its reusable mop pads reduce the amount of waste, and make it less likely to spread germs, and can be cleaned at the docking station to save you time. The mop pads can also be washed and dried to stop the spread of mold.

The robovac is controlled via your smartphone, making it much easier to use. For instance you can use the app to set up a no-go zone where the vacuum can't go, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning sessions for certain areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris through a trapdoor, and stores it into a bagless or disposable bin. This means you don't have to empty the bin manually as often as other models.

Best for Small Spaces

As the name implies the robots are best to be used in small spaces. They have smaller bins, which can hold less debris. They are also more efficient in maneuvering around tight corners as opposed to larger models. They can also be tucked under furniture, where the bigger robots struggle to reach. These robots are also cheaper than the more expensive models, but you'll have to empty their dirt bins manually at the end each cleaning session.

A couple of years ago, robotic vacuums went through a major change as manufacturers began adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would become stuck on or over. This improved the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic incident.

The new sensors aren't completely eliminating all the problems with these devices however. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same issues that the older ones did and, in addition, they need a certain amount of illumination to see where they're going. If you are living in a dark space or have a lot of low-profile furniture, consider buying a model that utilizes top-mounted spinning laser units to map your space like our top overall and runner-up choices do. This allows them to work in the dark and avoid obstacles like stairs.

In addition being able to work in the dark they can also be configured to use their cliff sensors only when they're close to or on the floor, not when they're above them. It is still recommended to shield any mirrors that may hinder this function, however, since the laser used by a laser-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to believe it's in another room.

Some of the models that we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas you don't wish the robot to go to. This can be helpful when you have small children or pets. Those features aren't available on all the models we test so make sure to go through our complete reviews of the models below prior to making a purchase.
