How to Choose the best floor vacuum robot Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Robot vacuums can help you save time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The best models do a great job picking up dust and other small particles and allow you to designate no-go zones in pets or power cords.
The ones that are more expensive can even sweep your floors but they aren't able to climb up stairs. Choose models that have smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and roomy self-emptying bins.
Best Overall
The top robots we tested were user-friendly, efficient and able to cope with the daily debris. You'll also need a robot capable of handling stairs and has good ability to pick up carpets. If you're looking for a robot with extra features, consider one that comes with smart mapping technology, or an app to control it remotely.
Camryn Rabideau, a contributing shopping writer at PEOPLE and a product reviewer who has tested dozens robotic vacuums, is credited with testing numerous robot vacuums. She's a huge fan of robotic vacuums that offer the greatest convenience, such as self-emptying bins and charging docks that automatically empty and refill the water tanks used by mopping robots. She also enjoys robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables, so they won't trip up when climbing the stairs.
Compared with the top-rated models this Black and Decker robot vac vacuum isn't as advanced in its object-avoidance capabilities, and its navigation score is lower. However, it has an ample dust bin that doesn't require frequent emptying, and has a long battery life. In addition, it has a feature that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and return to the location where it stopped last which makes it easier to clean larger areas. This model is also a great option for pet owners as it is able to spot and eliminate hair tangled and fallen food particles.
In our tests, we found that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined with a LIDAR (light) sensor that can identify rooms and obstacles with a structured-light sensor to detect objects and detect edges. It can avoid the steps, liquid droplets and furniture legs with this combination. It can also save up to four floor plans for future use. It is able to pause and resume the cleaning process at any time, meaning that you can continue with your chores while it does. The included app offers a 3D representation of your home, room labels, and more advanced cleaning options.
Although this robot vacuum sale isn't able to clean as well as our top-rated models, it excels in removing small particles like sand and baking soda, as well as heavier items like orzo pasta and metal screws. The only downsides are that it's not able to mop, and its navigation system is less impressive.
The best for Carpet
If you have carpeting, choose one with a high rating for carpet and rug maneuverability and pickup. Many models are capable of cleaning dust from low-pile carpets, and some can be quite effective in picking up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and screws made of metal. But they don't pick up small particles as well as an upright or canister vacuum and can miss ground-in dirt close to baseboards and thresholds.
The best option for carpeted areas is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop, which allows you to swap out the cleaning bin as well as mopping pad that is damp. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that can clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads spinning at 200 rotations a minute. It detects and lifts its pads when they come into contact with carpet, preventing the floor from getting wet. You don't need to take them off or replace them each time. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot vacuums/mops when it comes to avoiding obstacles and getting close to rugs and thresholds.
Another option that is worth considering is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which performed very well in our tests and can be scheduled through the app to clean your home when you're away from home. It can be set to only mop. We liked its navigation on bare floors and rug. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path-planning for the size of the device.
If you're looking to buy a high-tech vacuum, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic alternative. It comes with a huge dock that can last for weeks and not need to be empty. It also features impressive ability to navigate and auto-empty on carpets and bare floors. It's also got an intelligent mapping system that can be programmed to only operate at certain times of the day (a useful feature that can keep the sly kids and pets from running it amuck). The Shark is less powerful than other mop/robot combinations however, it does pick hair and pet hair very well. It's also the most affordable value of our top choices.
Ideal for Hard Floors
Robot vacuums are the best choice for floors with hardwood floors because they can navigate around obstacles without causing damage to bare surfaces. They do an excellent job of picking up dust and crumbs, however they aren't able to handle pet hair and other larger particles. They don't have the suction of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, which makes them unsuitable for deep cleaning upholstery or carpeted areas.
The best two-in-one robots combine a vacuum and a mop, taking care of the entire chore in one go. If you have mixed flooring, look for one equipped with an onboard sensor that 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 transition from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.
If your home is primarily composed of hardwood floors, think about an automated vacuum and mop combination like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model uses a powerful robotic vacuum that has intelligent navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it has the ability to mop as well. Its sensors let it stay clear of hazards like stairs.
When it comes to mops, the eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually clean hardwood floors using downward pressure, rather than wipe them to get rid of light dirt and dust. The mop pads that are reusable reduce waste, make it less likely to spread germs and can be cleaned in the docking station to save you time. The mop pads can also be cleaned and dried to avoid spreading mold.
The robovac can be controlled by your smartphone, making it much easier to use. For instance, you can use the app to create an area where the vacuum can't go or label rooms separately, or schedule automatic cleaning robot sessions for certain areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via a trapdoor, and stores it in a bag-less or disposable bin. This means that you don't need to empty the bin manually as often as other models.
Ideal for small Spaces
As the name implies the robots are best to be used in small spaces. They have smaller bins which hold less garbage. They are also more efficient in maneuvering around tight corners as opposed to larger models. They can also be placed under furniture that larger robots aren't able to reach. These robots are also cheaper than higher-end models, but you will need to empty their dirt bins manually at the end of each cleaning session.
A few years ago robotic vacuums experienced a major change. Manufacturers started adding sensors that allowed them to avoid household items that traditional sensors could get stuck on or run across. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic incident.
The new sensors don't solve all issues that these devices have, however. The cheapest models still struggle with the same issues that the older ones did and most require a certain amount of illumination to see where they're going. You should consider one that has a spinning LIDAR unit mounted on top to map the area. Our top model and the runners-up have this feature. This lets them work in darkness and avoid obstacles such as stairs.
In addition being capable of working in dark and in the dark, these models can be programmed to use their cliff sensors only close to or on the floor, not above them. It's important to cover mirrors to prevent this from occurring. The lasers used by LIDAR-based models could bounce off reflective surfaces, which makes the robot believe it's in a different room.
A few of the models we recommend let you set up virtual no-go zones for areas where you don't want the robot to go, which is beneficial if you have small children or pets. These features aren't available on all models we test. Read our full reviews before deciding.
