The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is a major cause of a lot of people's lives, but robot vacuum best vacuums make it easier. Modern models can also mop and climb (small) steps.

They have a small dustbin which they empty themselves and some are controlled by smartphone apps instead of a physical remote. Some have mapping capabilities that assist in navigating your home with greater efficiency.

1. Power

With an impressive 8,000Pa of suction Our top pick for robot vacuums is strong enough to handle the worst dirt patches and hairs. Its slim square shape enables it to slide under furniture, such as couches and beds. Dual-Laser LIDAR technology provides precise obstacle avoidance as well as intelligent navigation. It also does a great job at cleaning pet hair baking soda, sand, and other debris that can be found near baseboards and in corners.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, the other top-of-the-line bots on this list include the IRobot Roomba J7+ as well as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra includes docking stations that automatically handles maintenance. It also comes with mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction and efficient mopping helped keep my floors clear of pet hair, muddy paw prints, and other debris throughout every floor type test that we conducted.

A model that has 2,500Pa suction is sufficient for homes that are in the lower price range. These models are quieter, and, therefore, a better choice for those with sensitive ears. These units are not silent but they are only about the same as normal conversations at home.

Consider your budget and cleaning needs to find the perfect combination of power and efficiency. A regular light-duty cleaning schedule requires longer runtime and a lower suction, while weekly high-volume cleaning requires the most power. Then assess your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules to determine the best model to meet your requirements. We recommend looking through our full list of robot vacuum reviews (recent post by Championsleage) and ratings to get more details on the most recent models available. Many customers report that their carpets and floors appear cleaner after introducing a robotic vacuum into their home.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum can't accomplish its task when it doesn't know how to navigate around your home. The best robots employ sophisticated navigation technology to scan rooms and create a map, ensuring thorough cleaning without getting stuck or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation: LiDAR-based, sensor-based and camera-based.

The most expensive models utilize LiDAR to create a virtual map of the room, offering the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Bump sensors are used in cheaper models, but they can be inaccurate and miss a lot of debris when working in dark places. Most robots come with cliff sensors that stop them from falling off stairs or other drops.

Several robots in my tests used object recognition to deftly navigate objects such as fake cords and dog turds however, the best was the Eufy X10. It was equipped with powerful mop heads that oscillate as well as a user-friendly application, and superb mapping capabilities.

Think about features like sensors for floors that automatically increase suction power when required. Some robots, such as the Roborock mop make use of mopping pad that lifts to reach into corners and clean dried spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solution on the most difficult stains.

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

3. App control

The best robot vacs have an application that lets you track the progress of cleaning and schedule sessions and connect to your smart home devices to allow hands-free control. Many also connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to allow voice-controlled control. Some have a dedicated remote control that lets you start or pause, and then return to dock. Choose a model that has a larger trash bin and can self-empty instead of one that needs manual emptying.

Some robots are equipped with mapping technology that helps them remember obstacles, such as staircases, and prevents them from getting into furniture. Some allow you to create no-go zones or specific rooms, so that they only clean the areas that need it most. They also have a cliff sensor to stop them from falling, which is useful in multi-level homes.

If you plan to use your robot vacuum to clean rugs choose a model that can do dry mopping as well as wet. You'll be able to get better results from a robot vac that can remove its own mop pad and then rinse and reconnect when it's time to do another cleaning cycle. Also look for a robot that has a rubber roll that is less prone to tangles due to pet hair and other debris than a bristle roll like those found on cheaper models. Examine the robot's side brushes and brushroll for any debris that has become stuck on. Do this at least twice per week. If you notice that they're beginning to clog, it may be time to replace parts.

4. Collection of debris

As the name suggests robot vacuums are created to collect dust and other debris from your floors. The best robot vacuums will pick up tiny particles, such as baking soda and sand and larger ones like metal screws, orzo, and pet hair. They also get better pickup results on low-pile carpets than the majority of manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had pickup scores over 95 percent. The two top performers in this category were the ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI, and the Roborock Q Revo. Both are highly automated, with docking stations that can perform maintenance by themselves and apps that make them extremely user-friendly.

Both have self-emptying bins that automatically suck up the contents of the wastebasket, and clean the washboard while mowing. They also come with an 8,000Pa vacuum, intelligent mapping technology and advanced obstacle avoidance technology to help them navigate even the most difficult of spaces. The ECOVACS robot cleaner is among the few that can mop carpet and remove the mop pads. This makes it a perfect choice for users who have to switch between mopping and vacuuming often.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, we suggest the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot+, our budget-friendly pick. It features LIDAR navigation at an affordable price and decent debris collection performance. It is slow at mapping out rooms and has a tendency of bumping into obstacles, but the price is lower than our other picks.

5. Battery life

The best robot vacuums let you move about your day while they keep your floors in pristine state. Although you'll need to give your home a manual hoover every now and again, robovacs can help you maintain a standard of cleanliness, and even wash while you're away from home.

To maximize the amount of time you can use your robovac, choose a model with excellent battery life. If you select the highest power setting, the model should last for about two cleaning sessions. This is not as long as a full-sized vacuum cleaner, but it is enough to be sufficient for most homes. If you don't want to sit around waiting for your robovac is charging you could choose an automatic model that makes its return to the base station to recharge.

If you're looking to buy a robovac that has a little bit of everything in it, then think about a robot that can also mop. Eufy's X10, the best automatic vacuum cleaner model in this category comes with self-emptying and self refilling for the dust bin, the water tank, and mop pad. It can even be programmed to automatically re-fill and wash mops when they're running low.

The clear winner of our tests is the Dyson V810, because of its impressive carpet and hard floor pickup, outstanding hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and an almost perfect auto vacuum and mop empty score. It's not cheap and, unless you live in a the space of a small home with no pets, it may be too costly for certain. The Dreametech D10+ is the runner-up and has a similar performance, but it costs 25% less.
