The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Vacuuming is a major cause of many people's existence, but robot vacuums make it easier. Modern models mop and can even climb (small) stairs.
They have a tiny dustbin that they empty themselves, and some are controlled from a smartphone app instead of the physical remote. Some models have mapping capabilities to assist in navigating your home more efficiently.
1. Power
With the suction power of 8,000Pa, our top pick for robot vacuums is strong enough to take on the toughest dirt patches and hairs. The ultra-thin shape of the square allows it to slide underneath furniture such as beds and sofas. Dual-Laser LIDAR technology offers precise obstacle avoidance as well as intelligent navigation. It's also great at cleaning baking powder, pet hair and other messes around corners and baseboards.
Other powerful robots in this list besides the DEEBOT X2 OMNI include the iRobot Roomba J7+ aswell as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The latter comes with a powerful docking station that automates maintenance and mopping functions as well. Its powerful suction, coupled with its effective mopping, ensured my floors were free of pet hair, muddy prints, and other messes on every floor we test.
A model with 2,500Pa suction is sufficient for the majority of homes in the lower price range. These models are quieter, and therefore a better option for those with sensitive ears. They're not quiet, but they're not as loud as a normal conversation at home.
To find the ideal balance of usability and power, consider your cleaning needs and budget. For regular light-duty cleaning it is recommended to have a longer runtime and a lower suction is required. For heavy-duty cleaning, weekly runs require the most power. Consider your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules in order to choose the right model to meet your needs. We recommend looking through our entire list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings for more details about the latest models available. Many users have reported seeing their carpets and bare floors looking much cleaner after introducing a robotic cleaner and mop vacuum to their home.
2. Navigation
A robot vacuum can't do its job if it does not know how to navigate around your home. For this reason, the best robots rely on sophisticated navigation technology that reliably scans rooms and creates maps to ensure thorough cleaning without being lost or hitting obstacles. There are three major types of robot navigation: LiDAR-based, sensor-based, and camera-based.
The most expensive models utilize LiDAR to build a virtual map of the room, offering the highest level of accuracy and efficiency. The less expensive models rely on bump sensors, which are more prone to error and are more likely to miss a lot of debris in dark areas. Most robots come with cliff sensors that stop them from falling down stairs or other drops.
Many of the robots I tested utilized object recognition to efficiently navigate objects such as fake cords and dog turds, however, the best robot hoover was the Eufy X10. It had excellent mapping capabilities, powerful oscillating mops, an easy-to-use app, and the ability to clean by zones, rooms or even the all of the house.
Take into consideration features such as sensors that detect floors that automatically increase suction power when needed. Some robots, such as the Roborock mop use a mopping pad that lifts to reach into corners and clean dried spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solution to staining that is difficult to remove.
A smaller size of the bin will require less frequent emptying, and a larger one will save you money on replacements. The cheapest robotic cleaners typically utilize a small disposable dust bag, whereas most mid-range models have larger 3L dustbins that can last for decades. Some premium robots, like the EcoVACS DEEBOT OMNI station, will automatically empty their bins and fill their water tanks to provide hands-free convenience.
3. App control
The top robot vacuum with mop vacuums have an application that lets you track cleaning progress and schedule your sessions, and most can connect to smart home devices for hands-free control. They also can sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to allow voice-controlled control. Some models have an on-screen remote that lets you start or pause and then return to dock. Find a model with a bigger dustbin that can self-empty, as opposed to one that requires manual emptying.
Certain robovacs come with mapping technology that helps them avoid obstacles such as furniture and stairs. Some robovacs allow you to designate no-go zones and specific rooms so that they only clean those areas which need it the most. They also have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down the stairs, which is particularly helpful in multi-level homes.
If you plan to make use of your robot vacuum to clean your rugs, opt for one that can perform dry mopping as well as wet. You'll be able to get better cleaning results by having your robot vacuum also remove its mop pad. Rinse it and then reconnect it when you want to conduct a clean-up cycle. Find robots that have a rubber roller. This is less likely to become tangled from pet hair or other particles. It's a good idea to check the robot's brushroll and side brushes for stuck-on debris once or twice a week, too. If you notice that they're getting clogged, it may be time to replace parts.
4. Debris collection
As the name suggests, robot vacuums are designed to collect dust and debris from your floors. The best ones are able to pick fine particles such as baking soda and sand, as well as larger pieces like orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair. They also have better pickup results on carpets with low piles than most manual vacuums.
All flooring types are covered, and the top robots had pickup scores of over 95 percent. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were our two most efficient bots in this class. Both are highly automated with robust docking stations that perform maintenance on their own, and features in the app that make them extremely user-friendly.
They both have self-emptying bins that collect the waste from the wastebasket and can clean the washboard while you mow. They also have an 8,000Pa vacuum, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance technology to help them navigate even the most difficult spaces. The ECOVACS robot is one of the few that can vacuum carpet and take away mop pads. This makes it a great choice for users who have to switch between mopping and vacuuming often.
If you're seeking a lower-cost alternative, take a look at the Roomba Combo J7 by iRobot Plus, our budget-friendly pick. It offers LIDAR navigation for reasonable prices and decent performance in the collection of debris. It's a bit slow to map rooms and is susceptible to bumping into obstacles, however, it's cheaper than our other best-buy picks.
5. Battery life
The top robot vacuums are designed to let you get moving with your day while they keep your floors in tip-top span. It is still necessary to manually clean your home on a regular basis however, robovacs can help you maintain a basic level of cleanliness, and will even keep your home clean when you're away.
Find a robovac equipped with a long-lasting battery to get the most of it. If you use the highest power setting, a model should last for about two cleaning sessions. This is smaller than a large autonomous vacuum however, it should be enough to get the job done in most homes. If you don't want to be waiting around while your robovac is charging you could select an automatic model that makes its way back to the base station to recharge.
If you're looking for a robot with a variety of features in it, you should consider a robot that can also mop. Eufy's X10 is the best model in this class and includes self-emptying, self-draining and self-refilling of the dust container as well as the mop pad. It can also be programmed to automatically refill and wash mops when they're running low.
The clear winner in our tests is the Dyson V810 due to its outstanding carpet and hard floor pickup, outstanding hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and a near perfect auto empty score. However, it's not cheap and unless you have a an apartment with no pets it might be too expensive for some. The second choice, the Dreametech D10+, has the same performance, but is priced 25 percent less.
