Best Robot Vacuums

The best robot vacuums excel in removing pet hair, dust and other particles from hard and carpet floors. They leave a lot of dust on baseboards and furniture.

Some models are operated by a smartphone application, while others require a physical remote. Some models have advanced features, such as LiDAR navigation or editable floor robot maps.

Object Avoidance

The best robot vacuums come with sophisticated navigation systems that enable them to avoid obstacles such as walls, cords and furniture. They also have object-avoidance technology to recognize pets, toys, and other clutter that could get in the machine's path or get caught in the suction blades. These features will save you time by making sure that your robot is not trapped under the couch or behind a bed.

Some of the more advanced robots, such as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and Samsung Jet Bot AI+, use cameras and lasers to create an image of your home. This lets them navigate more precisely and accurately. They can also spot changes in your home, such as when you move furniture. This isn't something every robot has, but it could make a significant difference in the performance and comfort of your new device.

The majority of cheaper models rely on sensors to help them navigate around your home. They can be useful in many situations but they can also get stuck on objects that are too close to them, such as shoes or lamp cords. They are also less expensive and don't have the capability of learning when they miss an obstacle. It is possible to create digital zones around your home to keep certain items out.

Even the best robot vacuums can be caught up on larger items, like large pet poop or chairs legs. The robot cleaner won't be able lift large objects and may be forced to push them over or around the edges of the room. This can leave unsightly scratches on your floors. If it's pets or cats you may have to block their path using an object, such as a box or piece of furniture, or a virtual barrier (which certain robots allow you to set up within the app).

The most advanced robotic vacuums featured below use object detection to see what is in their path even in dim lighting. The DEEBOT OMNI and the X1 OMNI robots, for instance, have TrueDetect 3D obstacle avoidance that can sense up to 30 different kinds of obstacles in optimal lighting.

Self-Emptying Bases

If you suffer from allergies or just don't have the time to manually empty the dust bin of a robot vacuum after each automatic cleaning robot session, self-emptying bases are a convenient feature to look for. They can hold between 45 to 60 days worth of debris, so they must be cleaned far less often than the bin on the robot's own.

Many of the top-rated robotic vacuums have this feature that includes iRobot's Roomba i3+ and i7+ models Shark's AI robot the Roborock S8, and several others. You'll have to purchase the self-emptying base separately except if it's included with your robot vacuum.

A self-emptying base will not just save your time, but also cost on dust bags. It also keeps your home spotless. Depending on the brand the base comes with separate filters that are able to trap allergens, but they might require cleaning regularly. You should always use the manufacturer's recommended filters and accessories to ensure the highest performance.

The suction power of a robot is an additional aspect to take into consideration. While there isn't a standard power scale that all companies use however, some companies provide Pascal (Pa) levels to give an idea of the device's performance. In general the more powerful the Pa rating, the more powerful the vacuum.

Also, a quality machine should have user-friendly features and a user's guide that is simple to read. A well-written manual can help you learn about the basics and solve issues as they arise. This is vital since these machines aren't inexpensive. You should look for an instruction manual that contains tips on maintenance and setup as well as troubleshooting. You should be able if you are using a mobile application to control the robot, to view a list of the available options. You can then set them up by rooms, zones, or individual floors. Some apps allow you to schedule specific cleaning sessions and even allow you to voice-command the robot vacuum cleaner for sale. Several popular brands let you design your own cleaning schedule and set virtual no-go areas. The top robots allow you to save your cleaning schedule and return to it whenever you like. If you forget to finish the task, the robot will resume where it left off.

Long-Lasting Batteries

Although robot vacuums don't have the same power as fully-sized corded upright or cordless stick models, their specially-designed motors are designed to be energy efficient. The best robot vacuums are able to last for hours on a single battery charge. They also charge themselves and begin cleaning once they reach their destination, without needing to join them. In our tests, we found that a 90-100-minute battery life is ideal for the majority of homes, and will provide enough time to thoroughly clean your whole apartment on one go.

The typical dust bin on the robot vacuum has to be empty every couple of cleans. This can be a daunting task, especially if have a large house or pet hair on your floors. Self-emptying robotic vacuums can save you from a amount of stress. This feature allows the machine to empty its own trash bin and blow and wash its filter after each use, ensuring that it's ready for the next cleaning session.

Many robot vacuums also come with a removable or built-in water tank that allows them to mop your hard surfaces. This is especially beneficial for tiled or hardwood floors that require some extra attention between your regular vacuuming sessions. However, these mopping machines typically don't have the same level of suction that a traditional vacuum has and are more prone to squishy with liquid spills.

Think about a robot that can mop and vacuum simultaneously like the Ecovacs T30S Combo Robot or the Shark IQ XL. Both of these top picks provide excellent performance and a great value. They both have a good amount of suction and come with a large self-emptying base station. They don't have the advanced navigation of our two top-rated robots, however, so they might not be able to tackle your entire home in one charge.

Eufy 11S is another option for a hands free mopping robot. This inexpensive model doesn't have a built-in or removable reservoir for water, but it does have a nice level of suction (2,500 Pascals or Pa) and can be used to sweep, mop and spot clean your floors. The 11S isn't an ideal vacuum for furniture or stairs, however it can be used to keep your floors looking clean between manual vacuuming and mopping.

Easy Maintenance

Robot vacuums are fantastic for saving time and effort, but they require constant maintenance. Some models require less work than others. Select a model with self-emptying bottoms to reduce the number of times you need to manually empty the bin when cleaning. This feature is particularly beneficial if your pets shed a lot or if it's an habit to not remember to clean up and mop.

In addition to basic features such as suction and a rotating brush and suction, many of our top picks also include extra features that can cut down cleaning robot price time even more. Consider a multi-surface cleaner with a removable mopping pad that's easy to attach and holds well or a vacuum that has LiDAR navigation that detects dirt spots in your home, which is why it can be slowed down to clean them thoroughly.

Some models let you set a schedule or designate rooms that need to be cleaned and use smart home voice assistants to control the vacuum using your voice. Some models come with advanced software that can learn the layout of your house and navigate around obstacles, but you'll need to pay for these features.

You can find robot vacuums to fit any budget, ranging from the $100 ILife V3s Pro that can work on floors made of wood to the $1,600 Roborock Q5Max+, which can vacuum and mop both hardwood floors and carpets. As with most things, if you want more features, it will cost more but there are options for everyone's budget.
