The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is a major cause of many people's existence, but robot vacuums make it less tedious. Modern models mop and even climb (small) stairs.

They have a small trash bin which they empty themselves and some of them can be controlled by smartphone apps instead of an actual remote. Some of them have mapping capabilities that assist in navigating your home more effectively.

1. Power

With the suction power of 8,000Pa Our top choice for robot vacuums is powerful enough to take on the toughest hairs and dirt. Its super-thin square design allows it to slide underneath furniture such as beds and sofas and its Dual-Laser LIDAR technology supports precise navigation and accurate obstacle avoidance. It's also great at cleaning baking powder, pet hair, and other debris near baseboards and corners.

Other powerful robots in this list apart from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, include the IRobot Roomba J7+ as well as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The latter comes with a sturdy docking station that automatically performs maintenance and includes mopping capabilities as well. Its powerful suction and effective mopping made sure my floors were free of pet hair and muddy footprints and other debris throughout every floor type test we ran.

A model that has 2500Pa suction should be sufficient for homes that are in the lower price range. They are also quieter, making them the ideal option for those with sensitive hearing. They're not silent but they're not the same volume as conversations at home.

For the best mix of usability and power Consider your cleaning requirements and budget. Frequent light-duty tidying requires a longer runtime and a lower suction, while weekly high-volume cleaning requires a lot of power. Consider your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules in order to select the best model to meet your needs. We recommend checking out our complete list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings to get more details on the most recent models available. Many users have reported that their carpets and bare floors appear cleaner after using a robot vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum can't do its job without knowing how to navigate your home. This is why the best automatic vacuum cleaner robots use sophisticated navigation technology that reliably scans rooms and then creates maps 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 utilize LiDAR to create a digital map of the room. This model offers the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Bump sensors are utilized in cheaper models, but they aren't always accurate and miss a lot of debris when working in dark areas. Most robots come with cliff sensors that stop them from falling off stairs or other drops.

A number of the robots I tested utilized object recognition to navigate things such as cords and fake dog turds. However, the Eufy X10 was the best. It was equipped with powerful mop heads that oscillate, a user friendly app, and superb mapping capabilities.

Take into consideration features such as sensors that detect floors that automatically boost suction power when needed. Some robots like the Roborock mop utilize mopping pad lift that allows you to get into corners and clean dry spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solutions to tough staining.

A smaller size of the bin will mean less frequent emptying however, a larger one can save you money on replacements. Most low-cost robotic cleaners use a small disposable dust bag. However, most middle-priced models have larger 3L dustbins which last a long time. Certain high-end robots, such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI station, will self-empty their bins and fill their water tanks for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

Most robot vacuum that mops vacuums come with an app to monitor cleaning progress, schedule sessions and connect to smart home devices. Many robot vacuums can also be controlled via voice using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Some models have a separate remote control that lets you start or pause, and then return to dock. Choose a model that has larger dustbins that self-empty, as opposed to one that requires manual emptying.

Some robots are equipped with mapping technology that helps them remember obstacles, like staircases, and prevents them from hitting furniture. Certain robovacs permit you to create no-go zones as well as specific rooms to ensure that they only clean those areas which need the most. They also come with cliff sensors to keep them from falling down the staircase, which is particularly useful in multi-level homes.

If you plan to use your robot vacuum for cleaning rug carpets, you should choose one that can be used for dry and wet mopping. You'll have better results cleaning when your vacuum can also remove its mop pad. Clean it and attach it again when you are ready to conduct a clean-up cycle. Also, look for a machine that has a rubber roll, which is less prone to tangles due to pet hair and other debris than a bristle roll, as found on some smaller models. Check the robot mop's side brushes and brushroll for any debris that has been stuck to them. Do this once or every week. If you notice that they're getting clogged it could be time to purchase replacement parts.

4. Debris collection

As the name suggests robot vacuums are made to collect dust and debris from your floors. The best ones pick small particles such as baking soda and sand as in larger pieces of metal screws, orzo pasta, and pet hair. They also provide better pick-up results on carpets with low piles than the majority of manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had pickup scores higher 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 with robust docking stations that do maintenance on their own, and features in the app that make them incredibly user-friendly.

Both come with self-emptying bins which 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 that helps them navigate through the most difficult of spaces. The ECOVACS robot is among the few that can mop carpet and take away mop pads. This makes it a perfect option for those who need to switch between mopping and vacuuming regularly.

If you're looking for a less expensive option, look into the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot Plus, our budget choice. It features LIDAR navigation for an affordable price and decent performance in the collection of debris. It's a bit slow to map out rooms and may be susceptible to bumping into obstacles, however, it's cheaper than our other top-rated picks.

5. Battery life

The top robot vacuums are designed to let you go on with your life while they keep your floors in tip-top clean. While you'll still need to give your home a manual automatic hoover every now and again, robovacs can help you maintain a baseline level of tidiness and even clean even when you're away.

Choose a robovac that has an extended-lasting battery to get the most out of it. If you use the highest power setting, the model should last for about two cleaning sessions. This is less than a full-sized vacuum, but should be sufficient to get the job done in most homes. If you don't want to be waiting around while your robovac charges, you can also opt for an automatic vacuum and mop robot model that makes its return to the base station to recharge.

If you're looking for a robot that can do a bit of everything, consider an all-in-one machine that can mop too. Eufy's X10 is the most effective model in this class and provides self-emptying, auto-draining and self-refilling of the dust container and mop pad. It is also programmable to automatically refill and wash mops when they're empty.

Its respectable carpet and hard floor pickup, great hair pickup and tangle prevention, and its near-perfect auto empty score make it the clear winner of our test scores. It's not cheap and unless you have a small house with no pets, it could be too costly for some. The Dreametech D10+ is the runner-up and has a similar performance, but is priced around 25% less.
