The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is the bane of many lives However, robot vacuums make it more enjoyable. Modern models mop and can even climb (small) steps.

They have a small dustbin that they empty themselves, and some can be operated by a smartphone app instead of a physical remote. Some have mapping capabilities that aid in navigating your home with greater efficiency.

1. Power

With 8,000Pa of suction power Our top pick for robot vacuums is durable enough to handle the worst dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin design of the square allows it to slide beneath furniture like sofas and beds, 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 debris near baseboards and corners.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, the 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 includes docking station that automatically handles maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction and effective mopping helped keep my floors clear of pet hair, muddy paw prints, and other debris during every floor type test that we conducted.

In the lower price range, a unit that has 2,500Pa of suction is more than adequate for most homes. These units are quieter and are therefore a better choice for those who have sensitive ears. They're not quiet, but they're just about the same as a normal conversation at home.

For the best mix of usability and power Consider your cleaning requirements and budget. For frequent light-duty cleaning, a longer runtime with less suction is recommended. Weekly heavy-duty cleaning requires the maximum power. Examine your flooring, home layout, and cleaning schedules before selecting the best model. We suggest looking through our complete list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings to get more details on the most recent models available. Many users report that their carpets and floors appear cleaner after using a robotic vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum isn't able to do its job without knowing how to navigate your home. The best robots employ sophisticated navigation technologies to scan rooms and create maps, ensuring thorough cleaning without getting stuck or hitting obstacles. There are three main kinds of robot navigation: LiDAR-based camera-based and sensor-based.

The most expensive models employ LiDAR to create a digital map of the room. This model offers the highest levels of precision and efficiency. Cheaper models rely on bump sensors, which are more prone to error and tend to miss the majority of debris in dark spaces. The majority of robots have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down stairs or other drops.

Several robots I tested used object recognition to navigate around things such as cords and fake dog turds. However, the Eufy X10 was the best rated robot vacuum. It had powerful mop heads that oscillate and a user-friendly app and a superb mapping capability.

Other features worth looking into include floor type sensors that recognize carpets with soft and hard floors, automatically boosting suction power when needed. Certain robots, like the Roborock mop, make use of a mopping pad lift to reach corners and clean up dried spills. Many hybrids can apply cleaning solution on the most difficult stains.

A smaller size of the bin will require less frequent emptying, however, a larger one can save you money on replacements. The majority of low-cost robotic cleaners utilize a small disposable dust bag. However, most mid-range models come with larger 3L dustbins that last for a long time. Certain high-end robots, such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station will self-empty and fill up their water tanks, allowing hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The best robot vacs have an app that lets you monitor the progress of cleaning and schedule sessions and can connect to smart home devices to allow hands-free control. Many also sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to allow voice-controlled control. Certain models come with a remote control that lets you start, pause, and return to dock. Find a model with a bigger dustbin that can self-empty, as opposed to one that requires manual emptying.

Certain robovacs come with mapping technology that helps them avoid obstacles like stairs and furniture. Some robovacs allow you to create no-go zones as well as specific rooms to clean those areas which need the most. They also have cliff sensors to prevent them from falling down stairs, which is particularly helpful in multi-level homes.

If you want to use your robot vacuum for cleaning rug carpets, you should choose a model which can be used for wet and dry mopping. You'll have better results cleaning by having your robot vacuum also remove its mop pad. Rinse it and then reattach it when you need to run another cleaning cycle. Look for a robot with a rubber roller. It is less likely to become tangled from pet hair or other particles. It's a good idea to examine the robot's brushroll and side brushes for stuck-on debris every week or once as well. If you notice that they're starting to clog, it may be time to purchase replacement parts.

4. Debris collection

Robot vacuums are made, as the name suggests to remove dust and other debris on your floors. The best robot vacuums can collect tiny particles, such as baking soda and sand in addition to larger ones like screws made of metal orzo, pet hair. They also have better pickup results on carpets with low piles than the majority of manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had pickup scores higher than 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were our two most efficient bots in this class. Both are highly automated and feature robust docking stations that can perform maintenance on their own. They also have app features that make them incredibly user-friendly.

They both have self-emptying bins that collect the waste from the wastebasket, and clean the washboard while you mow. They also feature 8,000Pa suction and smart mapping technology and advanced obstacle avoidance that can help them find their way around even the most challenging spaces. The ECOVACS robot hoover and mop is one of the few that can vacuum carpet and take away mop pads. This makes it a great choice for users who have to switch between mopping and vacuuming often.

If you're looking for a less expensive option, check out the Roomba Combo J7 by iRobot Plus, our budget pick. It features LIDAR navigation for reasonable prices and decent performance in the collection of debris. It's a bit slow to map out rooms and is susceptible to hitting obstacles however it's much less expensive than our other top choices.

5. Battery life

The most effective robot vacuums let you move about your day while they keep your floors in top in good condition. Although you'll need to give your home a manual hoover every now and then Robotic vacuums can help maintain a baseline level of cleanliness, and even wash even when you're away.

Find a robovac equipped 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 smaller than a large vacuum but should be sufficient to get the job done in most homes. If you don't want to sit for your robovac to recharge, you can choose a model that automatically returns to the base station for charging.

If you want a robovac that can do a amount of everything, you should consider an all-in-one robot 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 and mop pad. It can be programmed to refill and wash its mops when they run out.

Its high-quality carpet and hard floor pickup 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 live in the smallest of homes with no pets, it could be too expensive for some. The Dreametech D10+ is the runner-up and has a similar performance, but costs around 25 percent less.
