The Best Robot Hoover

The best robot hoover can auto vacuum and mop and mop without needing your attention, and leaves your floors spotless. Its low cost and high-end features (such as dirt detection) are a plus.

Make sure you regularly check your robot's brushes for tangled hair as well as large debris and wash them if needed. Some models also self-empty their dust bin on board into a larger bin at the base, which decreases the amount of fine dust released into the air.

1. Roomba Q5 Pro

The Q5 Pro and its sibling, the more expensive Q7 Max Series, are among the most powerful robot vacuums we've examined. They feature top-of-the-line motors that can generate up to 5,500 Pascals of suction force. As with other top iRobot models (including the top choice) they utilize intelligent mapping technology to create precise floor plans and eliminate household obstacles such as cords and furniture legs. They also have carpet boost, a feature which boosts the robot's power when it detects an abundance of dirt on the carpet to get it clean quickly.

Both the Q5 and Q7 Max Series get very good scores in our tests on floors that are bare, and they're particularly adept at cleaning pet hair. However, they do have several flaws that prevent them from being our top choice. For instance, the Q5's navigation doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance, so it's prone to become entangled in socks and shoes and couldn't navigate rooms with a lot of people well in our tests. It also doesn't come with cameras that let it see the corners of an area.

It's still a good deal for those whose office or home has a lot of bare floors and you're looking to save money. It's also quiet and works while you are at work or at school. It doesn't have the edge-to-edge floor vacuuming available in the more expensive iRobot Roomba X30. It's also less effective in mopping, as it relies on disposable wet wipes that don't hold on well and aren't able to deal with dried-on debris. The Q5 comes with a self-emptying cradle however. If you're required to mop, the mopping pad can be replaced with a wet one in minutes.

2. IRobot Roomba X30

The iRobot Roomba X30 packs impressive vacuuming and mopping capabilities into an elegant, compact package. Its intelligent cleaning maps as well as quick navigation make it easy to clean and effective in dealing with larger particles such as pet hair. It also features a self-emptying dustbin, powerful suction, and support for virtual boundaries. It's the most efficient robot hoover for carpets, though it isn't as efficient as some of its competitors in deep cleaning.

This high-performance vacuum and mops utilizes sensors that help it stay clear of obstacles and pet waste. It also learns the structure of your home over time and offer cleaner and more efficient cleaning. You can alter the schedule of cleaning and even customize zones with the well-designed app. It has a battery lifespan that is similar to other models.

If the X30 Ultra is in a carpeted space, you can tell it to pull back and extend its mops. This will help prevent cross contamination. Its flex arm can also be used to reach beneath furniture with low levels and along baseboards. It doesn't offer the same washboard performance as our other Editors' Choice picks, the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Pro+ and the iRobot Combo j9+.

In the course of testing, X30 Ultra was the most efficient robot vacuum/mop which could clean an entire home with just 66 percent of its battery remaining. It did a decent cleaning job on a variety of rooms and floors with various flooring types, including certain area carpets. Its obstacle detection was top-notch, and it nimbly avoided fake dog turds, socks, shoes and cables.

It's more expensive than the iRobot Combo v9+ and iRobot Roomba j9+, however it offers superior suction, a dustbin on board that automatically empties into its base, and also supports voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It can also clean the floor even after it vacuums. This is a feature that we haven't seen before on other robot vacuum/mop combination.

3. IRobot Roomba X40

This robot vacuum and mop combination features a sleek, circular look that looks more like the regular Roomba model than the bulky models of the competitors. It is one of our most attractive looking robot vacuums. iRobot’s latest flagship model is also the most intelligent. It features advanced features, like Enhanced Dirt Detection as well as future compatibility (another company’s robot that can wash mop pads autonomously).

It's also the only robotic vacuum or mop that scored a perfect 10 out of 10 in our tests. This is due to a combination modern sensors, including a restructured lighting system, a camera, and a variety of lasers. The X40 Ultra was the only robot we tested that could refill and empty its basestation autonomously. It also boasted a suction of 12,000Pa as well as self-cleaning mops.

Like other iRobot models, the X40 is easy to use, offering an intuitive mobile app interface and integration with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant. The only issue is that the X40 still a loud unit. This can be a concern in the mornings prior to work or during the night when you are trying to sleep.

It's also a bit costly but not as much as the Ecovacs S8 MaxV Ultra or Roborock S8 Omni, which are both equally powerful and more attractive. If you're willing to put up with a little more noise and a little more cost it's a efficient two-in-one device that should satisfy most people.

iRobot L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is the top-of-the best robot cleaner robot vacuum and mop. It has a number of advanced features that help you forget your chores. The L20 Ultra is a hands-free cleaning device that is similar to Ecovacs the top of the line X2 Omni or Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra. It comes with a multi-function dock that will automatically empty the vacuum's bin, refills the water tank, and washes and drys mop pads.

The smart robot utilizes LIDAR and structured lighting to map out floor plans and detect obstacles. It is more efficient in its navigation than its competitors with premium features. It also comes with a front-mounted camera for real-time hazards detection however this was not foolproof in our tests and was sometimes confused with power cords or obstructions.

Its vacuum cleaner has an maximum suction of 7,000 Pascals which is more than sufficient to accomplish the task. It also comes with "Intelligent Dirt Detection", that regulates the amount of time the vacuum works and adjusts the frequency of cleaning for various areas of the house depending on how dirty they are.

If you own a larger home, it's worth selecting a model with a the option of cleaning zones or spots. This allows you to instruct the robot on which part of your home must be cleaned with the help of an app or voice control. If you have a lot of furniture, a stairway mode is also useful. Also a recharge and resume feature that lets your robot vacuum pick up right where it left off is ideal for busy families.

iRobot RX3

The RX3 is more intelligent than its price would suggest. It vacuums well and was able to remove 55% of debris in our tests. (It was second to the Roomba Q5 Pro). It also mops using a single pad and a reciprocating motion that is more efficient than most of the mop cleaners with robots that we've tried. It's also self-sufficient with a fully-featured application, and a self emptying base that can be washed.

The iRobot app is designed to guide you through the mapping process, which gathers information on your floorplan and any "no go" areas you've marked on the map. You can use it to make cleaning schedules, arrange the perfect spot for cleaning or prioritize your most filthy rooms to improve performance. The app has a range of options, including seasonal suggestions, custom mapping, and advanced cleaning settings.

It can also reach corners and under furniture more easily because its shape is more rectangular. It also has strong 8000 Pascal suction and intelligent combs for hair of pets. It also has the ability to set up a spot cleaning that intensely cleans a localized area.

The Miele Scout RX3 Home Vision HD offers a sleeker and less expensive alternative to iRobot Roomba. It's got a more attractive, Dolce & Gabbana-esque design and its twin cameras look like cute eyes. It is capable of vacuuming, but it is more susceptible to be caught by low thresholds and is a bit more noisy than the other top robotic vacuums we've tried. It also comes with an app that is less intuitive and a small base station that doesn't double as a bin for emptying.
