The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

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

They have a small dustbin which they empty themselves and some are controlled from a smartphone app instead of a physical remote. Some of them have mapping capabilities that assist in navigating your home with greater efficiency.

1. Power

Our top pick for robot vacuums has suction power of 8,000Pa, which is enough to get rid of even the most stubborn dirt patches and hairs. Its ultra-thin square shape allows it to slide underneath furniture like beds and sofas. Dual-Laser LIDAR technology offers accurate obstacle avoidance and intelligent navigation. It's also great for cleaning baking powder, pet hair and other debris that can be found near corners and baseboards.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, the other powerful bots in this list include the iRobot Roomba j7+ and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra includes docking stations that automates maintenance. It also comes with mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction and efficient mopping kept my floors free of pet hair as well as muddy paw prints and other debris in every flooring type test we conducted.

A model with 2,500Pa suction will suffice for homes that are in the lower price range. These models are quieter, making them a better choice for people who have sensitive hearing. They're not silent but they are only about the same as normal conversations at home.

Take into consideration your budget and cleaning requirements to find the right combination of power and efficiency. A regular light-duty cleaning schedule requires longer time to run and lower suction, whereas weekly heavy-duty cleaning requires a lot of power. Then assess your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules in order to select the best model for your needs. We recommend looking through our entire list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings for more information on the latest models available. Many users report that their carpets and bare floors appear cleaner after using a robotic vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum won't be able to do its job effectively if it doesn't know how to navigate your home. Because of this, the best robots rely on sophisticated navigation systems that consistently scans rooms and creates a map to ensure thorough cleaning without getting lost or hitting obstacles. There are three types of robot navigation including LiDAR, camera, and sensor.

LiDAR is used by the most expensive models to create a virtual space map, which provides the highest levels of precision and efficiency. The less expensive models depend on bump sensors, which are more prone to error and can miss the majority of debris in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors to prevent them from falling down stairs or other drops.

A variety of robots I tested employed object recognition to skillfully navigate objects such as fake cords and dog turds, however, the best was the Eufy X10. It had powerful oscillating mop heads as well as a user-friendly application and a superb mapping capability.

Think about features like sensors that detect floors that automatically increase suction power when required. Some robots, like the Roborock mop, make use of mopping pad lifts to get into corners and clean up dried spills. Some hybrids even apply cleaning solutions to stubborn stains.

A smaller dustbin will require less frequent emptying, and a larger one will save you money on replacements. The cheapest robotic cleaners usually utilize a small disposable dust bag, whereas most mid-range models have larger 3L dustbins that last for decades. Certain premium robots such as the EcoVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station will self-empty and fill up their water tanks for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The majority of robot vacuums uk vacuums have an app that can monitor cleaning progress, schedule sessions and connect to smart home devices. Most also connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice-based control. Some models have a separate remote control that allows you to start or pause, and then return to dock. Pick a model that comes with an extra large dustbin and is able to self-empty instead of one that needs manual emptying.

Certain robovacs have mapping technology that helps them recognize obstacles, such as staircases, and prevents them from getting into furniture. Others let you designate no-go zones and targeted rooms, so they only clean the areas that require the most. They also come with cliff sensors to keep them from falling down stairs, which is especially useful in multi-level homes.

If you plan to make use of your robot vacuum to clean your rugs choose one that is capable of dry mopping and wet. You'll have better results cleaning if your robot hoover vacuum can also take off its mop pad. Rinse it, and then reconnect it when you want to run a new cleaning cycle. Also, look for a model with a rubber roller that is less prone to tangles from pet hair and other debris than bristle rollers that is found on less expensive models. Check the robot's side brush and brushroll for any debris that has become stuck on. Make sure to do this at least every week. If you notice that they are beginning to get clogged up it could be time to buy replacement parts.

4. Debris collection

As the name implies robot vacuum and mop vacuums are created to collect dust and debris from your floors. The best ones are able to pick small particles such as baking soda and sand as larger pieces such as metal screws, orzo pasta, and pet hair. They also provide better results on low pile carpets than manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had a pickup score greater than 95 percent. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were our two top-performing robots in this category. Both are highly automated, with docking stations that can perform maintenance on their own, and features in the app that make them extremely user-friendly.

Both come with self-emptying bins which automatically take the contents of the wastebasket, and clean the washboard while you mow. They also come with an 8,000Pa vacuum cleaner, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance that helps them navigate even the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS model is also among the few robots that we tested that can remove its mop pads and vacuum carpet, which makes it the best choice for users who need to switch between mopping and vacuuming regularly.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, we suggest the iRobot Roomba Combo J7+, our budget pick. It offers LIDAR navigation at an affordable price and decent debris collection performance. It's not the fastest to map rooms and may be susceptible to crashing into obstacles, but it's less expensive than our other best-buy selections.

5. Battery life

The best robot vacuums let you move about your day while they keep your floors in top condition. You'll still need to manually clean your home every so often, but robovacs will aid in maintaining a certain level of cleanliness, and will even clean while you're away.

Choose a robovac that has an extended-lasting battery to get the most of it. A good rule of thumb is to expect a model to last about two full cleaning sessions if you use it at the highest power setting. This is smaller than a larger vacuum however, it should be enough to get the job done in most homes. If you don't want to wait while your robovac charges you can select an option that automatically returns to the base station to charge.

If you're looking for a robot with a bit of everything in it, then think about an option that also mop. Eufy's X10 is the most effective model in this category and provides self-emptying, auto-draining and self-refilling of your dust bin and mop pad. It can also be programmed to automatically refill and wash its own mops when they're low.

The clear winner in our tests is the Dyson V810 due to its outstanding carpet and hard floor pickup, superb hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and an almost perfect auto empty score. However, it's not cheap and unless you live in a a small home without pets, it may be too pricey for some. The runner-up, the Dreametech D10+, has very similar performance but costs about 25% less.
