Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Robots

Robot vacuums use navigational tools such as sensors, lasers, and cameras to map your space and efficiently clean while staying clear of obstacles. Some robot cleaning machine vacuums are able to mop and self-empty dustbins!

Many are connected to digital voice assistants or apps for cleaning hands-free. Certain models come with features like automatic docks and boundary strips that can help you reduce your work.

1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

Roborock's flagship robot remote vacuum cleaner does not fail to impress. It comes with more advanced features, but its primary advantage is that it is able to intelligently clean for you. It can detect floor types and stains, as well as no-go areas. It does this by assessing its surroundings using a camera and a smart map. This lets it know what to do at any given moment, so you don't need to press buttons repeatedly or set different modes.

It is able to mop as do the other Roborock vacuums. This is a fantastic addition to the Roborock collection, as it makes the robovac even more efficient. The mop head is extremely efficient too and can be changed to a scrub mode to clean harder dirt. Another bonus feature is that the robovac has the ability to overcome small thresholds of step due to its front-mounted sensor as well as a rotating FlexiArm.

The app is simple to use and lets you alter settings. You can also set up rooms for the robot to vacuum. The voice assistant, Rocky, is very responsive and can interpret commands clearly. You can ask it to cancel the task or to recite specific commands. It is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and Matter-certified to integrate with Apple HomeKit.

The S8 maxV ultra has batteries of 5,200mAh that can be used for up to 180 mins before returning to the dock. The battery is also automatically cleaned and emptied at the end of each run, which reduces the time required to charge.

2. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuum cleaner is a powerful machine that excels in both vacuuming and mopping. This vacuum cleaner has powerful suction, a variety of innovative features, and is pet-friendly. It's a great choice for busy families. The advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance and customizable options make this robot vacuum cleaner among the best on the market.

This robot vacuum uses a RGB camera to map out its surroundings and detect obstacles using artificial intelligence. This helps prevent it from taking your cat's toy or a cable that is lying on the floor, and causing damage to your floors. This feature lets you mark areas that the robot shouldn't clean.

Dreame X40 also excels in sweeps and mowing, with an innovative dual brush system that gets rid of dirt in the corners of your room.

3. Eufy X10

If you're looking to buy a high-end all-rounder, the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can perform everything you'd expect to have a robot mop and vacuum to accomplish at a cost-effective price.

This model does a fantastic job of taking on floor cleaning tasks with ease, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. The base station is a slightly larger than other models and requires 50cm of room either side and 150cm front but for those with the room it's able to provide a completely hands-free clean.

Its advanced navigation technology is able to determine the arrangement of your home, and then store and utilizing the information within its own internal memory without ever transferring it to the cloud or any other external source. The X10 can keep track of the layout of rooms using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes so that they can be efficient and thorough.

The X10's intelligent object recognition system also performs well, allowing the robot to easily recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It is also able to automatically clean and recharge its battery, which is a nice touch. The X10 is stuck on more thick rugs. It smacks them with a loud roar and then it pushes its front brush into the rug.

This is a fantastic robo-vacuum and mop, but it's let down by the confusing application. As opposed to the iRobot app which guides you throughout the process of setting up your robot and teaching you how to use it but the Eufy Clean app leaves you to work things out on your own. It's a great option for those looking to customize it.

4. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect choice to home cleaning. It combines an air cleaner and mopping. It features an innovative two-station design structure that allows it to provide mopping water as well as collect dust in the same machine, resulting in full automation of the cleaning process.

It's equipped with all of the sensors found on high-end robotic vacuums. This allows it to map your home in real-time while avoiding obstacles and recognizing different kinds of carpets and hard flooring. A front-facing AI-capable camera also present, making it easier to navigate around your home and find places that aren't accessible for most robotic vacuums.

This robot is fitted with a powerful suction motor capable of taking pet hair, dirt and other debris both from hard flooring and carpets with low pile. It is also customizable through the app to meet your specific needs, with custom cleaning robots routines, adjustments for mopping and vacuuming power and real-time notifications of its condition.

The mop is extremely effective. It comes with a RevoRoll roller that applies 10N of force to any floor as well as it comes with a RinseSync cleaning system that automatically cleans when it moves around your home. This keeps the mop clean as it sifts through dirt, and prevents it from spreading the mess around your home.

Unfortunately, the S10's battery life isn't as long as its competitors. It may need the battery to recharge every so often when you have more space in your home. It can also be extremely loud when in operation, so it may not be suitable for use in locations where quiet is required. However, it is an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 has a sleek, contemporary look that makes it stand out model in its class.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from the popular Mini robot vacuum. This latest version combines an innovative Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and a higher suction power up to 3000Pa for better corner coverage.

Using SLAM navigation and an intuitive app, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor works in tandem with the rotary brush to move through furniture. The four-stage cleaning process is a consolidated method that collects, lifts and sweeps debris from floors and carpets. The dustbin is self-emptying and you don't need to be concerned about emptying it often.

The app can also be used to mark areas of your home that you want the device to stay clear of such as pets toys or power cords. This is a common feature in most robotic vacuums and is particularly useful when you have specific areas in the house that require more attention than others.

You can set the K10 Plus to return to its base station every 60 90, 75 or 60 minutes to automatically empty its dust bin. This is a major improvement over other robots which have to be returned and manually emptied. It can help you save a lot of time.

In my tests, I found that the K10 Plus' battery life was exceptional. It lasted for 110 minutes in a single run. This is higher than the iRobot Roomba Combo's time of 127 minutes.

The K10 Plus is a compact device that can easily be placed under furniture or in small spaces. It is connected via Wi-Fi and includes Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri shortcuts. It works with IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. The app tracks the use of its accessories, such as the filter, side brushes, and dust bag, letting you know when it's time to replace them.
