The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the task of vacuuming less painful. Today's models also mop and even climb (small) stairs.

They have a small dustbin that they empty themselves and some can be operated by a smartphone app instead of an actual remote. Some models have mapping features that aid in navigation.

1. Power

Our top pick for robot cleaner vacuums has a suction power of 8000Pa, which is strong enough to eliminate even the most stubborn hairs and dirt. Its ultra-thin square design allows it to slide beneath furniture like sofas and beds and its Dual-Laser LiDAR technology allows for precise navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also does a great job at cleaning up pet hair baking soda, other debris near the baseboards and in corners.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI bot, other high-powered bots on this list include the IRobot Roomba j7+ and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra includes a docking station which automatically handles maintenance. It also comes with mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction, combined with its efficient mopping, kept my floors clean of pet hair, muddy prints, and other messes on all floors we tested.

In the lower price range, a model with a suction capacity of around 2,500Pa is more than enough for most homes. They are also quieter, making them an ideal option for people with hearing issues. They're not quiet, but they're not about the same as a normal conversation at home.

Think about your budget and cleaning requirements to find the right combination of power and convenience. For regular light-duty cleaning, a longer runtime with less suction is needed. Cleaning that is heavy-duty every week requires the most power. Take a look at your flooring, layout of your home and cleaning schedules in order to determine the best model to meet your needs. We recommend checking out our entire list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings for more details on the most recent models available. Many users report having their carpets and floors looking much cleaner after introducing a robot vacuum into their home.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum with mop vacuum isn't able to perform its job properly when it doesn't know how to navigate around your home. This is why the best robots use sophisticated navigation technology that reliably scans rooms and builds an outline map to ensure thorough cleaning without being lost or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation that include LiDAR, camera and sensor.

The most expensive models employ LiDAR to create a virtual map of the room, offering the highest level of accuracy and efficiency. Less expensive models depend on bump sensors which can be more inaccurate and tend to miss the majority of debris in dark areas. Most robots also feature cliff sensors to stop them from falling down stairs or other drops.

Several robots I tested used object recognition to navigate around things like fake dog turds. But the Eufy X10 was the best. It had excellent mapping capabilities and powerful oscillating mops that could be used as an easy-to-use app, and the ability to clean a area, room or the entire home.

Take into consideration features such as sensors for floors that automatically boost suction power when required. Some robots like the Roborock mop utilize mopping pad that lifts to reach into corners and clean dry spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solution to staining that is difficult to remove.

A smaller dustbin means less frequent emptying, however, a larger one can save you money on replacements. The cheapest robotic hoovers cleaners typically employ a tiny disposable dust bag, whereas most mid-range models have larger dust bins of 3L that last for many years. Certain high-end robots, such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI station, will self-empty their dustbin and refill their water tanks to provide hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The best automatic vacuum and mop robot vacuums come with an app that lets you monitor cleaning progress and schedule your sessions, and most can connect to smart home devices for hands-free control. They also sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for control via voice. Some have a remote control that allows you to start, pause and return to dock. Choose a model that has an extra large dustbin and is able to self-empty, rather than one that requires manual emptying.

Some robots are equipped with mapping technology that helps them avoid obstacles such as stairs and furniture. Others allow you to set no-go zones or targeted rooms, so they only clean areas that require it the most. They also have cliff sensor to prevent them from falling, which is helpful in multi-leveled homes.

If you want to utilize your robot vacuum to clean carpets, select one that can be used for dry and wet mopping. You'll get better results from a robot vac that can remove its own mop pad as well, which you can then wash and reattach when it's time to do another cleaning cycle. Look for robots with an elastomer roller. It is less likely to become tangled from pet hair or other particles. It's a good idea inspect the robot's brushroll as well as side brushes for stuck-on debris every week or once, too. If you notice that they are starting to clog up, it may be time to replace parts.

4. Debris collection

As the name suggests robot vacuums with mop vacuums are made to remove dust and other debris from your floors. The most effective ones can pick small particles such as baking soda and sand as in larger pieces of orzo pasta, screws made of metal and pet hair. They also get better pickup results on low-pile carpets than manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had pickup scores greater than 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were two of our best-performing bots in this category. Both are highly automated with docking stations that can perform maintenance by themselves and app features which make them extremely user-friendly.

Both have self-emptying bins which automatically remove the contents of the wastebasket. They also have the ability to clean the washboards as they mowing. They also have an 8,000Pa vacuum, intelligent mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance to help them navigate through the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS robot is one of the few that can mop carpet and remove mop pads. This makes it an ideal option for people who need to switch between mopping and vacuuming frequently.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, take a look at the Roomba Combo J7 by iRobot Plus, our budget choice. It comes with LIDAR navigation and decent debris pickup capabilities for the price. It can be a bit slow at mapping out rooms and has a tendency of hitting obstacles, but it is less than our other picks.

5. Battery life

The top robot vacuums are designed to let you go on with your life while keeping your floors in tip-top span. You'll still have to manually clean your home from time to time, but robovacs will assist you in maintaining a minimum standard of cleanliness, and even clean when you are away.

To maximize the time you get from your robovac, choose a model with excellent battery life. A good guideline is to expect a model to last about two full cleaning sessions when you run it at the highest power setting. This is less than a typical large vacuum cleaner, but it is enough to provide for the majority of homes. If you don't want to wait for your robovac to recharge, you can choose a model that automatically returns to the base station to charge.

If you want a robovac that can do a amount of everything, you should consider an all-in-one machine that can mop as well. Eufy's X10 is the top model of this category comes with self-emptying and self refilling for the dust bin as well as the water tank and mop pad. It can even be programmed to automatically re-fill and wash its own mops when they're running low.

Its respectable carpet and hard floor pick up, great hair pickup and 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 a the smallest of homes with no pets, it could be too expensive for some. The Dreametech D10+ is the second-placed model and offers the same performance, but is priced around 25% less.
