How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum bot cleaner

Robot vacuums robot can save you time and effort when it comes to cleaning. Top performers are good at cleaning up dust, light debris and cords.

The ones that are more expensive will even sweep your floor, but they can't climb stairs. Choose models that have intelligent mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

best robot cleaner Overall

The best robots we tested were user-friendly, efficient and able to keep up with daily debris. It is also important to choose a model that can handle stairs and that has decent ability to pick up carpets. If you want a robot with extra features, consider an option that incorporates smart mapping technology, or an app to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tested dozens of robotic vacuums. She's a fan of the robovacs that offer the most convenience, such as self-emptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and refill water tanks for mopping robots. She also likes robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cords, so they don't get tripped up when climbing steps.

This robot from Black and Decker has a lower score on navigation and less object-avoidance tech than the most popular models. However, it does have a large dustbin that doesn't need regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. Additionally, it comes with an option that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and then return to the spot the last time it was used, making it easier to tackle larger areas. This model is also a great choice for pet owners because it can spot and eliminate hair tangled and fallen food particles.

In our tests we tested the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines with a LIDAR sensor that maps rooms and see obstacles with an organized light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. The combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid, and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps for future references. It is able to pause and resume the cleaning process at any time, so that you can continue with your chores while it works. The included app offers the 3D image of your home, room labels and advanced cleaning options.

The robot isn't as efficient in cleaning as our top models, however it is a pro at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine debris such as sand. The only downside is that it isn't able to mop and has a slightly less impressive navigation system.

The best option for Carpet

If you have carpeting, select one that has a high score for carpet and rug ability to maneuver and pick up. Many models do a good job of removing dust that is embedded in carpets with low pile and some are capable of picking up heavier debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. However, they aren't able to pick up fine particles like an upright or canister vacuum and may also not pick up dirt that is ground-in close to thresholds and baseboards.

For carpeted homes, a 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop is the best choice. You can swap out a cleaning bin for a moist mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop that can clean and mop at the same time with circular pads spinning at 200 revolutions per minute. It automatically detects and lifts the pads when it comes into contact with carpet to prevent wetting the floor. Additionally, you do not need to take them off or replace them after each use. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot vacuum cleaners vacuums/mops when it comes to avoiding obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option. It performed well in our tests and you can set it up to schedule it to sweep your home while you are away. It can be set to only mop and we loved its remarkable navigation on rug and floor surfaces and its ability to get up and over furniture. The Combo i5 also has a extremely long run time and great path planning for such a small device.

If you're looking for a advanced model, look into the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It comes with a huge dock that can last for weeks without needing to be emptied. It also features impressive ability to navigate and auto-empty on carpets and floors that are not cleaned. It's also got a smart-mapping feature and can be programmed to only operate at certain times of the day (a handy feature for keeping children and pets who are prone to mischief from causing chaos). The Shark isn't as powerful as other mop/robot vacuum hoover combinations, but it still picks hair and pet hair extremely well. It's also the best price of our top picks.

Ideal for Hard Floors

robot vacuum cleaner best vacuums are the best choice for hardwood floors as they are able to easily maneuver around obstacles without damaging the floor's surface. They are great for removing dust and crumbs but struggle with pet hair or other debris. They lack the suction of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, making them a poor choice for deep cleaning upholstery or carpeted areas.

The most effective robots are two-in-one, which combine mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one move. If you have mixed flooring choose a model with an onboard sensor which detects changes in the floor's texture and adjusts suction accordingly. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and allows it to effortlessly switch from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If your home is made up of hardwood floors, consider an automated vacuum and mop combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model uses a powerful robot vacuum with intelligent navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it can mop too. Its sensors allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.

When you need mops the eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than just wipe them over to remove light dirt and dust. Its reusable pads reduce waste and spread fewer germs. They can also be cleaned at the docking stations to save time. They are also able to be dried, washed, and reused.

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

Ideal for small Spaces

Like the name suggests the robots are best suited for small spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less waste, and they're more efficient than the larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, where the larger robots are unable to reach. These robots are also cheaper than higher-end models, but you'll have to empty their dirt bins manually at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years ago robotic vacuums experienced an important change. Manufacturers began to add sensors that helped them navigate around and avoid household items that their traditional sensors might get stuck on or run across. This has have reduced the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robotic snag, whether it was a power cord, a toy or pet waste.

The new sensors don't solve all issues with these devices however. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same issues that the older ones did, and many of them require a certain amount light to be able see where they're headed. If you are living in a dark space or have lots of furniture with low-profiles, consider getting one that uses top-mounted spinning laser units to map your area, like our top overall and runner-up picks do. This will allow them to stay clear of stairs and other obstacles while working in the dark.

In addition being capable of working in dark, these models can be configured to use their cliff sensors only on or near the floor, not above them. It is still recommended to cover any mirrors that may interfere with this function however, because the laser used by a LIDAR-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it's in a different room.

Some of the models we recommend also allow you to set up virtual no-go zones in areas you do not want the robot to go, which can be useful if you have small pets or children. These features aren't on all models we test. Read our full reviews before deciding.
