The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is the bane of many people's existence however, robot vacuums make it a little easier. Modern models can also mop, and climb (small) steps.

They have a tiny dustbin that they empty themselves, and some of them can be controlled from a smartphone app instead of the physical remote. Some models have mapping capabilities to assist in navigating your home more effectively.

1. Power

Our top choice for robot vacuum cleaners best vacuums has a suction power of 8000Pa, which is strong enough to get rid of even the most difficult hairs and dirt. The ultra-thin shape of the square allows it to slide underneath furniture, such as sofas and beds. Dual-Laser LIDAR technology provides precise obstacle avoidance as well as intelligent navigation. It also does an excellent job at cleaning up pet hair baking soda, sand, and other debris that can be found near the baseboards as well as in corners.

Other high-powered robots that are listed apart from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, are the iRobot Roomba J7+ as well as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra includes docking station that automatically handles maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction and efficient mopping helped keep my floors clear of pet hair, muddy paw prints, and other debris in every floor type test we ran.

A model with 2,500Pa suction will suffice for most homes in the lower price range. They are also quieter and, therefore, a better choice for those with sensitive ears. They're still not quiet, but they're just the same volume as a normal conversation at home.

Consider your budget and cleaning requirements to determine the best combination of power and efficiency. For frequent light-duty cleaning, a longer runtime with a lower suction is required. For heavy-duty cleaning, weekly runs require maximum power. Examine your flooring, layout of your home and cleaning schedules prior to selecting the best model. We suggest looking through our entire list of robot vacuum reviews (click for source) and ratings for more details about the latest models available. Many users report that their carpets and bare floor look cleaner after using a robotic hoovers vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum isn't able to perform its job properly if it doesn't know how to get around your home. For this reason, the best robots rely on sophisticated navigation technology that reliably scans rooms and creates an outline map to ensure thorough cleaning without getting lost or hitting obstacles. There are three kinds of robot navigation: LiDAR-based camera-based and sensor-based.

LiDAR is used by the most expensive models to create a virtual space map, which offers the highest levels in precision and efficiency. Bump sensors are employed in cheaper models, but they can be inaccurate and miss a lot of debris when working in dark environments. Most robots come with cliff sensors, which prevent them from falling off steps or other drops.

Several robots in my tests employed object recognition to skillfully navigate objects such as fake dog turds and cords, but the most effective was the Eufy X10. It had superb mapping capabilities, powerful oscillating mops, an easy-to-use app, and the ability to clean a area, room or the whole home.

Consider features such as sensors for floors that automatically increase suction power when needed. Certain robots such as the Roborock mop utilize mopping pads lift to reach into corners and clean up dried spills. Many hybrids are able to apply cleaning solutions to stubborn staining.

A smaller size of the bin will require less frequent emptying, whereas a larger one will cost less to replace. The cheapest robotic cleaners usually employ a tiny disposable dust bag, but most mid-range models have larger 3L dustbins that can last for many years. Some premium robots like the ECOVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station can self-empty and refill their water tank for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The best robot vacs have an app that lets you monitor cleaning progress and schedule your sessions and can connect to your smart home devices for hands-free control. Many also can sync with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for control via voice. Some models have an on-screen remote that lets you start or pause and then return to dock. Look for a model with a bigger dustbin that can self-empty instead of one that requires manual emptying.

Some robovacs come with mapping technology that can help them remember obstacles, such as staircases, and prevents them from hitting furniture. Some allow you to designate no-go zones and targeted rooms, so that they only clean the areas that require the most. They also have a cliff detector to prevent them from falling, which is useful in multi-level homes.

If you intend to utilize your robot vacuum to clean your rugs choose one that can perform both dry mopping as well as wet. You'll be able to get better cleaning results when your vacuum can also take off its mop pad. Clean it and reconnect it when you want to run another cleaning cycle. Also, look for a model that has a rubber roll that is less prone to tangles due to pet hair and other debris than bristle rollers like those found on cheaper models. Check the robot's side brushes and brushroll for any debris that has been stuck to them. Do this at least twice per week. If you notice that they are beginning to get clogged up it could be time to replace parts.

4. Collection of debris

Robot vacuums are created to, as the name suggests, to remove dust and other debris on your floors. The best robot vacuums can take tiny particles like sand and baking soda, as well as larger ones like screws made of metal orzo, pet hair. They also have better results on carpets with a low pile than manual vacuums.

All flooring types are covered, and the top performing robots had pick-up scores of more than 95 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were two of our top-performing robots in this category. Both are highly automated and feature robust docking stations that do maintenance on their own, and features in the app that make them extremely user-friendly.

They both have self-emptying bins that automatically empty the wastebasket. They also have the ability to clean the washboard as they mowing. They also have an 8,000Pa vacuum, intelligent mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance to help them navigate through the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS model is also one of the few robots we tested that can take its mop pads and vacuum carpet which makes it the ideal choice for those who have to switch between vacuuming and mopping frequently.

If you want a cheaper option, we recommend the Roomba Combo J7 from iRobot+, our budget choice. It features LIDAR navigation for a reasonable price and a decent performance in the collection of debris. It is slow when it comes to mapping rooms and is prone to bumping against obstacles, but the cost is lower than our other picks.

5. Battery life

The best robot vacuums let you move about your day while they keep your floors in top condition. You'll still have to manually vacuum your home on a regular basis however, robovacs can assist you in maintaining a minimum standard of cleanliness, and even clean while you're away.

Choose a robovac that has long-lasting batteries to get the most out of it. A good guideline is to expect a model to last for about two cleaning sessions if you run it on the highest power setting. This is less than a typical full-sized vacuum cleaner, but it is enough to provide for the majority of homes. If you don't like to sit around waiting for your robovac is charging you could opt for one that will automatically make its return to the base station to recharge.

If you're looking for a robot that has a little bit of everything in it, you should consider an option that also mop. Eufy's X10, the best automatic vacuum cleaner model in this class has self-emptying and self-refilling for the dust bin as well as the water tank and the mop pad. It is also programmable to automatically re-fill and wash mops when they're running low.

Its high-quality carpet and hard floor pick up excellent hair pickup, tangle-free, and a an almost perfect auto empty score make it the clear winner of our test scores. However, it's not cheap and unless you live in a an apartment with no pets, it could be too pricey for some. The runner-up, the Dreametech D10+, has the same performance, however it costs 25 percent less.
