The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is the bane of a lot of people's lives however, robot vacuums make it easier. Modern models can also mop and even climb (small) steps.

Some have a small bin that they empty on their own. Others can be controlled by an app on your smartphone instead of an actual remote. Some models have mapping capabilities to aid in navigating your home more effectively.

1. Power

With an impressive 8,000Pa of suction Our top choice for robot vacuums is powerful enough to handle the worst dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin design of the square allows it to slide under 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 corners and baseboards.

Other high-powered robots on this list, besides the DEEBOT X2 OMNI include the iRobot Roomba j7+ as well as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with docking station that automatically handles maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction, combined with its effective mopping feature, ensured my floors were free of pet hair, muddy prints, and other messes on every floor we test.

In the lower price range, a model that has 2,500Pa of suction is more than enough for the majority of homes. These models are quieter, and, therefore, a better choice for those with sensitive ears. They aren't silent, however they are not the same volume as conversations at home.

Think about your budget and cleaning needs to find the right combination of power and usability. Frequent light-duty tidying requires a longer runtime and a lower suction, while weekly heavy-duty cleaning demands maximum power. Examine your flooring, layout of your home, and cleaning schedules before selecting the best model. We recommend looking through our entire list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings to get more details on the most recent models available. Many users report that their carpets and floors appear cleaner after using a robot cleaner vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum isn't able to perform its task when it doesn't know how to navigate around your home. This is why the most effective robots depend on advanced navigation technology that effectively scans rooms and then creates maps to ensure thorough cleaning without getting lost or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation: LiDAR-based, camera-based and sensor-based.

LiDAR is used by the most expensive models to create a virtual room map, which provides the highest levels in precision and efficiency. The less expensive models rely on bump sensors, which can be more inaccurate and are more likely to miss the majority of debris in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors to prevent them from falling down stairs or other drops.

A number of the robots I tested utilized objects recognition to navigate through things like cords and fake dog turds. But the Eufy X10 was the best. It was equipped with powerful oscillating mop heads, a user friendly app with excellent mapping capabilities.

Other features worth considering include floor type sensors that recognize hard floors and soft carpet, automatically boosting suction power when required. Certain robots, like the Roborock mops, use a mopping pad lift to reach corners and tackle dried spills. Many hybrids can apply cleaning solution on the most difficult stains.

A smaller bin will require less frequent emptying while a larger one can save money on replacements. The cheapest robotic cleaners usually use a small disposable dust bag, whereas the majority of mid-range models come with larger 3L dustbins that can last for ages. Some of the top models, like the EcoVACS DEEBOT OMNI station, can self-empty their bins and fill their water tanks 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 most can connect to smart home devices to allow hands-free control. Most also can sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for control via voice. Certain models come with an on-screen remote 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 needs manual emptying.

Certain robovacs have mapping technology that can help them recognize obstacles, such as staircases, and prevents them from getting into furniture. Certain robovacs permit you to create no-go zones as well as specific rooms to ensure that they only clean the areas that require the most. They also have a cliff sensor to stop them from falling, which is particularly helpful in multi-leveled homes.

If you want to utilize your robot vacuum for cleaning rug carpets, you should choose one that can be used for wet and dry mopping. You'll have better results cleaning if your robot vacuum mop cleaner robot can also remove its mop pad. Rinse it, and then attach it again when you are ready to run a new cleaning cycle. Also, look for a machine that has a rubber roller that is less prone to tangles due to pet hair and other debris than a bristle roller that is found on cheaper models. It's a good idea to inspect the robot cleaner with mop's brushroll as well as side brushes for stuck-on debris every week or once as well. If you notice that they are getting clogged, it may be time to replace parts.

4. Collection of debris

As the name suggests robot vacuums are made to remove dust and other debris from your floors. The best ones pick up fine particles like baking soda and sand, as well as larger pieces like orzo pasta, screws made of metal and pet hair. They also provide better pick-up results on low-pile carpets than most manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had scores higher than 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were two of our most efficient bots in this class. 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 can clean the washboard while you mow. They also have suction of 8,000Pa, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance that can help them navigate even the most difficult of spaces. The ECOVACS robot is among the few that can vacuum carpet and take away mop pads. This makes it an ideal option for people who need to switch between mopping and vacuuming often.

If you're looking for a less expensive option, we recommend the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot+, our budget choice. It has LIDAR navigation and decent debris pickup performance for the price. It's not the fastest to map rooms and may be susceptible to bumping into obstacles, however it's much less expensive than our other best automatic vacuum cleaner-buy selections.

5. Battery life

The most effective robot vacuums let you move about your day while keeping your floors in perfect condition. While you'll still have to give your home a manual sweeping every now and again, robovacs can help you maintain a baseline level of tidiness and even clean when you're away.

Find a robovac equipped with an extended-lasting battery to get the most out of it. A good rule of thumb is to expect a robovac to last about two full cleaning sessions if you run it on the highest power setting. This is less than a size vacuum cleaner, however it should be enough to cover most homes. If you don't want to be waiting around while your robovac is charging you could choose an automatic model that makes its return to the base station to recharge.

If you are looking for a robovac that does a little bit of everything, consider an all-in-one model that is able to mop as well. Eufy's X10, the best model in this category comes with self-emptying and self refilling for the dust bin and the water tank and mop pad. It is also programmable to automatically refill and wash mops when they're low.

The clear winner in our tests is the Dyson V810, due to its outstanding carpet and hard floor pickup, superb hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and an almost perfect auto empty score. It's expensive and, unless you live in a a small house with no pets, it may be too costly for some. The second choice one, the Dreametech D10+, has very similar performance but costs about 25 percent less.
