The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the task of vacuuming less painful. Modern models can also mop and climb (small) steps.

They have a small dustbin that they empty themselves, and some are operated by a smartphone app instead of an actual remote. Some have mapping features that assist in navigation.

1. Power

Our top choice for robot vacuums has a suction power of 8,000Pa, which is powerful enough to eliminate even the most difficult dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin design of the square allows it to slide under furniture like sofas and beds and its Dual-Laser LiDAR technology allows for intelligent navigation and accurate obstacle avoidance. It is also great at cleaning baking powder, pet hair, and other debris near baseboards and corners.

Other powerful robots on this list, besides the DEEBOT X2 OMNI include the IRobot Roomba J7+ aswell as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The latter comes with a powerful docking station that is able to perform maintenance and mopping functions as well. Its powerful suction and efficient mopping made sure my floors were free of pet hair and muddy footprints and other debris during every floor type test we ran.

In the lower cost range, a model with around 2,500Pa of suction is sufficient for most homes. These units are quieter, which makes them a better choice for people with sensitive hearing. They're not silent however they are not the same volume as conversations at home.

Think about your budget and cleaning needs to determine the best combination of power and usability. A regular light-duty cleaning schedule requires longer runtime and lower suction, whereas weekly heavy-duty cleaning requires the most power. Take a look at your flooring, layout of your home and cleaning schedules to select the best model to meet your needs. We recommend looking through our complete list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings to get more details on the most recent models available. Many customers report that their carpets and floors look cleaner after using a robotic vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum cannot perform its task when it doesn't know how to navigate around your home. For this reason, the best robot vacuum robots rely on sophisticated navigation systems that consistently scans rooms and then creates an outline map to ensure thorough cleaning without being lost or hitting obstacles. There are three kinds of robot navigation: LiDAR-based, sensor-based and camera-based.

LiDAR is used by the most expensive models to create a virtual room map, which offers the highest levels in precision and efficiency. Less expensive models rely on bump sensors, which are more prone to error and tend to miss the majority of debris in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors that stop them from falling off steps or other drops.

Several robots in my tests employed object recognition to skillfully navigate objects such as fake cords and dog turds however, the best was the Eufy X10. It was a fantastic mapping device and powerful oscillating mops that could be used as an easy-to-use app, and the ability to clean by area, room or the entire home.

Think about features like sensors that detect floors that automatically increase suction power when required. Certain robots that vacuum and mop, like the Roborock mop, make use of a mopping pad lift to reach corners and eliminate dried spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solution to stubborn stains.

A smaller size of the bin means less frequent emptying, while a bigger one can save you money on replacements. The cheapest robotic cleaners typically use a small disposable dust bag, whereas the majority of mid-range models come with larger dust bins of 3L that last for many years. Some premium robots like the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station will self-empty and refill their water tank for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The best robot vacuums come with 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. They also can sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice-based control. Some have a remote control that lets you start or pause, and then return to dock. Pick a model that comes with an extra large dustbin and is able to self-empty rather than one that requires manual emptying.

Some robovacs have mapping technology that helps them avoid obstacles such as stairs and furniture. Certain robovacs permit you to create no-go zones as well as specific rooms to clean areas that require the most. They also have cliff sensors to prevent them from falling down staircase, which is particularly useful in multi-level homes.

If you plan to make use of your robot vacuum to clean rugs, choose a model which can be used both for wet and dry mopping. You'll be able to get better results from a robot vac that can remove its own mop pad too, which you can then rinse and reconnect when it's time to do another cleaning cycle. Also look for a robot with a rubber roller, which is less prone to knots caused by pet hair and other debris than bristle rollers that is found on smaller models. It's recommended to inspect the robot vacuum with mop's brushroll as well as side brushes for debris that has gotten stuck every week or once Also. If you notice that they are getting clogged it might be time to purchase replacement parts.

4. Collection of debris

Robot vacuums are designed according to the name to collect dust and debris on your floors. The best robot vacuums can collect tiny particles, such as baking soda and sand, and larger ones like metal screws orzo, pet hair. They also provide better pick-up results on carpets with low pile than manual vacuums.

Across all flooring types, the top performing robots had pick-up scores of more than 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were our two best-performing bots in this category. Both are highly automated equipped with docking stations that do maintenance on their own and app features which make them extremely user-friendly.

They both have self-emptying bins that automatically remove the contents of the wastebasket. They also have the ability to clean the washboard as they mow. They also have 8,000Pa suction, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance that can help them navigate even the most difficult of spaces. The ECOVACS good robot vacuum is among the few that can mop carpet and remove 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 less expensive alternative, we suggest the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot+, our budget choice. It comes with LIDAR navigation and decent debris pickup performance for the price. It's not the fastest to map rooms and may be susceptible to crashing into obstacles, however it's much less expensive than our other best-buy selections.

5. Battery life

The most effective robot vacuums are made to let you get on with your life while keeping your floors in tip-top clean. You'll still need to manually clean your home on a regular basis, but robovacs will aid in maintaining a certain standard of cleanliness, and even clean when you are away.

Look for a robovac with an extended-lasting battery to get the most use of it. If you select the highest power setting, a model should last two cleaning sessions. This is less than a typical large vacuum cleaner, but it is enough to provide for the majority of homes. If you don't wish to wait while your robovac charges, you can choose a model that will automatically return to the base station to charge.

If you're looking for a robovac with a bit of everything in it, you should consider a robot that can also mop. Eufy's X10 is the top model of this category comes with self-emptying and self refilling for the dust bin and the water tank and mop pad. It can be programmed to automatically refill and wash mops when they run out.

The clear winner of our tests is the Dyson V810 because of its impressive carpet and hard floor pickup, superb hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and a near perfect auto empty score. However, it's not cheap and unless you have a the smallest of homes with no pets it might be too pricey for some. The second choice, the Dreametech D10+, has identical performance, but is priced 25 percent less.
