How to Choose the best robovac Robot Vacuum Cleaner
A robot vacuum will save you lots of time and effort when it comes to regular touch-ups. The top models do a great job picking up dust and lightweight debris, and most allow you to set no-go zones for pets or power cords.
The most expensive models can even mop your floor but they aren't able to climb up the stairs. Choose models that have smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and spacious self-emptying bins.
Best Overall
The best robots we tested were user-friendly, efficient and able to cope with the daily debris. You'll also want a robot that can handle stairs and has good pick-up power on carpets. If you're looking for extra features, you may be interested in a model equipped with smart mapping technology or an application that allows you to control it remotely.
Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tried dozens of robotic vacuums. She prefers the robovacs with the most conveniences such as those with self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robotic vacuums. She also likes robots that detect landmarks such as furniture legs and power cords to ensure they don't get tripped up when climbing stairs.
The Black and Decker model has a lower score for navigation and has less technology for avoiding objects than the most popular models. However, it does have an enormous dust bin that doesn't require regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. Additionally, it has the ability to schedule cleaning sessions and then return to the place where it last stopped and makes it much easier to cover larger homes. This model is also a great choice for pet owners because it is able to spot and eliminate hair tangled and fallen food particles.
In our tests, we observed that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined with a LIDAR (light) sensor which can identify rooms and obstacles by using a structured-light sensor to detect objects and detect edges. It can stay clear of the steps, liquid droplets and furniture legs easily using this combination. It is also able to save up to four floor plans for future use. It is able to pause and resume cleaning at any time, so that you can continue with your chores while it does. The app includes a 3D view of your home with room labels and advanced cleaning options.
While this robot can't clean as well as our top-rated models, it is superior in picking up fine debris such as baking soda and sand, as well as heavier items, such as orzo pasta and metal screws. The only downside is that it's not able to mop, and has a slightly less efficient navigation system.
Best for Carpet
If you have carpeting in your home, look for a robotic vacuum that has excellent pickup and good maneuverability scores on carpet and rug. Many models do a decent job of removing dust embedded in low-pile carpet, and several do a decent job at sweeping up heavier debris like orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. However, they aren't able to pick up fine particles as well as canister or upright vacuums and may also be unable to pick up dirt in the vicinity of thresholds and baseboards.
The best choice for most carpeted areas is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop. It allows you to swap out a cleaning bin and mopping pad with damp. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, vacuums and mops with circular pads that rotate at a speed of 200 rotations per minute. It recognizes and raises its pads when it comes in contact with carpet, which prevents the floor from becoming wet. You don't have remove them or replace them every time. The Q Revo is also better than other robot vacuum/mops at keeping away from obstacles, getting close to rugs and thresholds and avoiding obstacles.
The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another good option. It performed well in our tests, and you can schedule it to clean your home when you are away. It can also be set to only mop, and we liked its remarkable navigation on carpets and floors as well as its ability to climb over and up onto furniture. The Combo i5 has a long time to run and excellent path planning for a device of this size.
If you're looking for a high-tech model, consider the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 self Cleaning vacuum Cleaner-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It comes with a large dock that can last for weeks and not need to be emptied. It also has impressive capability to auto-empty carpets and floors with no floor. It also comes with a smart mapping system and can be programmed to run only during specific hours (a useful feature to stop pets and children who are prone to mischief from running amok). The Shark isn't as powerful than other mop/robot vacuum hoover combos, but its still very efficient in removing hair and pet hair. It is the best value among our top picks.
Best for Hard Flooring
Robot vacuums are ideal for hardwood floors, as they can maneuver through obstacles with ease without causing damage bare surfaces. They are excellent at of picking up dust and crumbs, however they aren't able to handle pet hair and larger debris. They lack the suction power of a top-of-the-line upright or canister vacuum, meaning they're not an ideal option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that needs deep cleaning.
The most effective two-in-one robots incorporate mopping and vacuum and take care of the entire chore in one go. Choose one that has an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor texture and adjust suction to match. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and allows it to move seamlessly from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.
If you have a lot of hardwood flooring in your home, you might want to consider a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model comes with a powerful robotic vacuum with smart navigation that can clean hardwood and other surfaces. It also mop. Its sensors let it stay clear of hazards like stairs.
The Eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors by applying downward pressure, not simply swab them in order to remove dust and dirt. Its reusable pads reduce waste and spread less germs. They can also be cleaned in docking stations to help save time. The mop pads can also be cleaned and dried to prevent the spread of mold.
Both the robovac and mop are both controlled by your smartphone, making it easier to manage the device. For instance you can use the app to set up a no-go zone where the vacuum can't go or mark rooms as separate or schedule cleaning times for specific areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via trapdoors and then puts it into a bagless or disposable bin. This means you don't have to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.
Best suited for small Spaces
These robots are designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less debris, and they're more efficient than the larger models when it comes to navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture where larger robots aren't able to reach. These robots are also cheaper than more expensive models, but you will have to empty their dirt compartments manually at the end of each cleaning session.
A few years ago, robot vacuums went through a major change. Manufacturers began to add sensors that helped them navigate around and avoid household items that traditional sensors could get stuck on or run across. These advances reduced the number of times that our testers had to clean up after a robotic snag whether it was a power cord, a toy, or piece of pet waste.
The new sensors don't solve all issues with these machines however. The cheaper models are still unable to navigate the same obstacles as the older models, and they require a certain level of light in order to know where they are going. You should consider one that has an LIDAR spinning unit that is placed on top of the model to create maps of the space. Our top pick and runner-up models use this. This lets them work in the dark and avoid obstacles like stairs.
These models can be programmed to only use their cliff sensors only when they are on or near the ground, but not when they are above it. You'll still need to cover any mirrors that could hinder this function, however, because the laser used by a laser-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot vacuum hoover to believe it is in another room.
A few of the models we recommend also allow you to create virtual no-go zones in areas you do not want the robot go, which is useful if you have pets or children. These features aren't included on all the models we test so make sure to review our full reviews of the models below before you make a purchase.
