How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Automatic Hoover Robot vacuums can save you time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The best ones are adept at cleaning up dust, light debris and cords.
The most expensive models will even sweep your floor washing robot, but they can't climb up the stairs. Look for models with smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.
Best Overall
The top robots we've tested that we tested are efficient and easy to use and are able to cope with everyday debris. You'll also need a robot that can take on stairs and has adequate ability to pick up carpets. If you're looking for a robot with additional features, think about a model that has 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 acknowledged for her work in testing hundreds of robot vacuums. She prefers robovacs that have the most features such as those that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robotic vacuums. She also loves robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables, so they won't get tripped up when climbing stairs.
Compared with the top robot vacuum cleaner-rated models this Black and Decker automatic vacuum cleaners isn't as advanced in its object-avoidance capabilities and its navigation score is lower. It comes with a large non-refillable dustbin as well as a long battery. Additionally, it has an option that allows you to plan cleaning times and return to the location where it last stopped and makes it much easier to cover larger spaces. This model is an excellent choice for pet owners, since it is able to avoid tangled fur and food particles.
In our tests we tested the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines a LIDAR sensor that can map rooms and detect obstacles, with a structured light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. It is able to avoid liquid droplets, stairs, and furniture legs easily with this combination. It can also save up to four floor plans to be used in the future. It can pause and resume the cleaning process at any point, so you can continue to do chores while it is working. The app includes a 3D view of your home, complete with room labels as well as advanced cleaning options.
While this robot vacuum deals can't clean as well as our top-rated models but it excels in removing small particles like baking soda and sand and heavier items like orzo pasta and metal screws. The only downside is that it's not able to mop, and has a slightly less effective navigation system.
Best for Carpet
If you have carpeting in your home, look for a robotic vacuum that has good pickup and a high score for maneuverability on carpets and rug. Many models are good at picking up dust in low-pile carpets, and some do a decently job of picking up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and screws made of metal. However, they can't handle fine particles as well as canister or upright vacuums and can miss ground-in dirt close to baseboards and thresholds.
The best choice for most carpeted homes is a two-in-one robot vacuum/mop. It lets you swap in the cleaning bin as well as mopping pad with damp. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, vacuums and mops with circular pads that rotate at 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts its pads when they come into contact with carpets, preventing the flooring from getting wet. You don't have to remove them or replace them every time. The Q Revo is also more efficient than other robot vacuums and mops in keeping away from obstacles and getting close to rugs and thresholds.
The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option. It was a great performer in our tests, and you can schedule it to tidy your home while you are away. It can be set up to only mop. We loved 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 for a top-of-the-line vacuum that is high-tech, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic alternative. It has a large dock that can last for weeks without needing to be emptied. It also has impressive navigation and auto-emptying capabilities on carpets and floors with no floor. It's also got a smart-mapping system and can be programmed to operate during certain hours of the day (a handy feature for keeping the sly kids and pets from running it amuck). The Shark has less powerful suction than some other mop/robot combos, but its still very effective in removing hair and pet hair and is the best value among our top picks.
Best for Hard Floors
Robot vacuums are ideal for floors made of hardwood, since they can maneuver around obstacles without causing damage to the surfaces that are not. They are capable of removing dust and crumbs, however they struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They lack the suction power of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, making them a poor choice for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas.
The best floor vacuum robot two-in-1 robots combine mopping and vacuum, taking care of a more complete chore in one pass. Choose models that have an onboard sensor that detects any changes in the flooring and adjust suction accordingly. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+ for instance, comes with this feature and can transition seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.
If your home is primarily composed of hardwood floors, you should consider a robotic mop and vacuum combination like the eufy S1 Pro. This model comes with a powerful robotic vacuum with intelligent navigation that can clean hardwood and other surfaces. It also mop. The sensors in it allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.
The Eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to wash hardwood floors using downward pressure, rather than simply swab them to get rid of dust and dirt. The mop pads are reusable, which reduce waste, reduce the spread of germs, and can be cleaned at the docking station, saving your time. They can also be dried, washed, and used again.
The robovac is controlled by your smartphone, making it much easier to use. You can, for instance make use of the app to create no-go zones where the vacuum cannot enter, or to label rooms or schedule specific cleaning times. The eufy S1 Pro also has an auto-emptying dock that sucks debris through a trapdoor, and stores it in a bagless or disposable bin, meaning you don't need to manually empty the bin like you do with other models.
Best for Small Spaces
As the name implies the robots are best designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins, which hold less debris. They are also more efficient when it comes to maneuvering around tight corners as opposed to larger models. They can also be placed under furniture where larger robots aren't able to reach. They are usually less expensive than the more expensive models, too, although you'll need to empty their dirt bins at end of each cleaning session.
A couple of years ago, robotic vacuums underwent a major transformation as manufacturers began adding sensors to help navigate around and avoid household objects that traditional sensors would get stuck on or run over. These advancements have reduced the number of times our testers needed to clean up after a robotic snag whether it was an electrical cord, toy or pet waste.
The new sensors aren't completely eliminating all the problems with these devices, however. The lower-end models are not able to traverse the same obstacles as older models, and they require some level of illumination to be able to be able to see where they're moving. Look into a model that uses an LIDAR spinning unit that is placed on top of the model to create maps of the space. Our top overall models and runners-up models do this. This lets them work in darkness and avoid obstacles like stairs.
In addition to being capable of working in the dark and in the dark, these models can be configured to use their cliff sensors only on or near the floor, not when they're above them. It's important to cover mirrors to prevent this from happening. The laser used by the LIDAR-based models could bounce off reflective surfaces, which makes the robot think it's in another room.
Some of the models we recommend also allow you to create virtual no-go zones to protect areas you do not want the robot to go, which can be useful if you have pets or children. These features aren't on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before deciding.
