How to Choose the Best Robot vacuum cleaner (aklumba.Ru)
Robot vacuums can help you save time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The top models do a great job at removing dust and other small particles and many allow you to set no-go zones for pet areas or power cords.
The most expensive models will even sweep your floor however they're not able to climb up stairs. Look for models that have intelligent mapping, real-time hazard avoidance and large self vacuum-emptying bins.
Best Overall
The top robots we tested were efficient, easy-to-use and able to cope with the daily debris. You'll need a robot that has decent carpet-picking power and the ability to take on stairs. If you're looking for a robot with additional features, think about one that comes with smart mapping technology or an app that allows you to control it remotely.
Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tested many robotic vacuums. She's a huge fan of robovacs that offer the most convenience, such as self-emptying bins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robots. She also enjoys robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so that they don't fall when climbing stairs.
When compared to the top-rated models, this Black and Decker vacuum is less equipped with object-avoidance technology and its navigation score is lower. It comes with a large dust bin that is non-refillable and an extended battery. Additionally, it comes with a feature that allows you to plan cleaning times and return to the place where it stopped last and makes it much easier to cover larger homes. This model is also a good robot vacuum choice for pet owners because it is able to identify and avoid tangled hair and fallen food particles.
In our tests in our tests, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines with 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 stairs, liquid droplets, and furniture legs easily with this combination. It can also save up to four floor plans for future use. It can pause and resume cleaning at any point, so that you can continue doing chores while it works. The app includes the 3D image of your home with room labels and advanced cleaning options.
Although this robot isn't able to clean as well as our top-rated models, it is superior in removing small particles like sand and baking soda, as well as heavier items, such as orzo pasta and screws made of metal. The only downsides are that it cannot mop and that its navigation system is less impressive.
The best for Carpet
If you have carpeting in your home, you should look for a robot vacuum with good pickup and a high score for maneuverability on carpets and rug. Many models are capable of collecting dust from low-pile rugs. Some are capable of picking up heavier debris like orzo pasta and screws made of metal. They aren't able to pick up small particles like an upright or canister, and they may be unable to pick up dirt close to thresholds or baseboards.
The best choice for most carpeted areas is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that allows you to swap out a cleaning bin and a damp mopping pad. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, is a vacuum cleaner and mops wet with circular pads that spin at 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts its pads when it comes into contact with carpet, which prevents the flooring from becoming wet. It is not necessary remove them or replace them every time. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot vacuums and mops in keeping away from obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.
The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another option worth considering. It was a great performer in our tests and you can set it up to schedule it to sweep your home even when you're away. It can be set up to only mop. We were impressed by its ability to navigate on floors with no flooring and rug. The Combo i5 also has a extremely long run time and excellent path planning for such a small device.
If you're looking for a advanced model, look into the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It has a large charging dock that can run for months without needing to be emptied and boasts impressive navigation skills and auto-emptying on carpets and floors. It's also got a smart-mapping system and can be programmed to operate at certain times of the day (a useful feature that can keep the sly kids and pets from running it amuck). The Shark isn't as powerful as other robot vacuum/mop combinations however, it still manages to pick up pet hair and hair very well. It's also the highest price of our top robot vacuum picks.
Best for Hard Flooring
Robot vacuums are the best pick for hardwood floors because they are able to easily maneuver around obstacles without damaging bare surfaces. They are great for removing dust and crumbs, but they struggle with pet hair or other debris. They don't have the suction power of a top-of-the-line upright or canister vacuum, which is why they're not an ideal option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that requires deep cleaning.
The most effective robots are those that come with two-in-one features, combining mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one step. Choose models that have an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor texture and adjust suction to match. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+ for example, has this feature and can go seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.
If you have a lot of hardwood flooring in your home, you may want to consider a robot mop and vacuum like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model is a powerful robot vacuum with smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, plus it can mop too. The sensors in it allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.
When you need mops the eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors using downward pressure, rather than wipe them over to remove dust and dirt. Its pads that can be reused reduce waste and spread fewer germs. They can also be cleaned in docking stations to reduce time. The mop pads can also be cleaned and dried to prevent the spread of mold.
Both the robovac and mop can be controlled from your smartphone, making it easier to manage the device. For instance you can use the app to set up a zone that the vacuum cannot enter or label rooms separately, or schedule cleaning times for certain areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via trapdoors and then puts it in a bagless or disposable bin. This means that you won't have to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.
Ideal for small Spaces
As the name implies the robots are best designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that can hold less garbage, and are more efficient than the larger models when it comes to maneuvering tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, whereas larger robots struggle to get in. These robots are also cheaper than more expensive models, but you will have to empty their dirt bins manually at the end of each cleaning session.
A few years ago, robot vacuums underwent a significant change when manufacturers started adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would become stuck on or over. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robotic vacuum cleaner comparison snag.
The new sensors aren't completely eliminating all issues with these devices however. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same obstacles that the older ones did and most need a certain amount of light to be able see where they're headed. If you are living in a dark space or have lots of furniture that is low-profile, think about getting one that uses a top-mounted spinning LIDAR unit to map your space, like our best overall and runner-up choices do. This lets them avoid stairs and other barriers when working in darkness.
In addition being capable of working in dark and in the dark, these models can be set to use their cliff sensors only close to or on the floor, not above them. You'll still want to cover any mirrors that could hinder this function, though, as the laser used by a LIDAR-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it's in a different room.
Some of the models we recommend also allow you to set up virtual no-go zones in areas you do not want the robot to move, which is beneficial if you have small pets or children. These features aren't present on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before deciding.
