How to Choose the best robot hoover Robot Vacuum Cleaner Best Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum will save you lots of time and effort when it comes to regular touch-ups. The best models are capable of cleaning up dust light debris, cords and dust.

The more expensive models even clean your floors--though they still can't climb the stairs. Choose models that have smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The best robots we tried were efficient, easy-to-use and able to cope with the daily messes. You'll want a robot with adequate carpet-picking capabilities and the ability to handle stairs. If you're looking to add more features, you may be interested in a model equipped with smart mapping technology or an application that allows you to control the robot remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tried dozens of robotic vacuums. She's a huge fan of robotic vacuums that offer the greatest convenience, such as self-emptying bins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robots. She also enjoys robots that can recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so they won't trip up when climbing steps.

The Black and Decker model has a lower navigation score and has less object-avoidance technology than the most popular models. It does however have an enormous dust bin that doesn't need regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. It also comes with the ability to schedule cleaning times and then return to the place it was last. This makes it easier to clean larger areas. This model is a good option 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 an LIDAR sensor that maps rooms and detect obstacles, with an organized light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. This combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps for future reference. It is able to stop and restart the cleaning process at any time, so that you can continue with your chores while it does. The included app provides a 3D representation of your home, room labels, and advanced cleaning options.

Although this robot isn't able to clean as well as our top-rated models, it excels in removing small particles such as baking soda and sand as well as larger items like orzo pasta and screws made of metal. 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, select an automatic vacuum that has a high score for rug and carpet mobility and pickup. Many models are capable of cleaning dust from low-pile rugs. Some can be quite effective in picking up heavier debris like orzo pasta and screws made of metal. They aren't able to pick up small particles like an upright canister, and could miss dirt close to thresholds or baseboards.

The best option for carpeted homes is a two-in-one robot vacuum/mop, which allows you to swap between an empty bin for cleaning and mopping pad that is damp. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, is a vacuum cleaner and wet mop with circular pads that rotate at a speed of 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts its pads when it comes in contact with carpets, preventing the floor from becoming wet. It is not necessary to remove them or replace them every time. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuum/mops at staying clear of obstacles such as rugs and thresholds and avoiding obstacles.

Another solid option is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which was a great performer in our tests and can be scheduled using the app to clean when you're away from home. It can be set up to mop only. We liked its navigation on floors with no flooring and rug. The Combo i5 also has a very long run time and excellent path planning for such a small device.

If you want a more modern model, you can look at the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It comes with a large charging dock that can go months without needing to be emptying and has impressive navigation skills and auto-emptying on both carpets and floors that are not cleaned. It's also got a smart robot-mapping feature and can be programmed to only operate during certain hours of the day (a useful feature that can keep children and pets who are prone to mischief from running it amuck). The Shark is less powerful than other robot vacuum/mop combinations however it does pick up pet hair and hair with a high degree of accuracy. It's also the best price of our top rated robot vacuum picks.

Ideal for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are best for hardwood floors, as they can navigate through obstacles with ease without causing damage bare surfaces. They are fantastic for removing dust and crumbs, but they struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They lack the suction of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, making them a poor choice for deep cleaning upholstery or carpeted areas.

The best robots come with two-in-one features, combining a vacuum with a mop to complete the job in one move. Look for models that have an onboard sensor that can detect any changes in the flooring and adjust suction to match. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+, for example, has this feature and can move seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.

If you have lots of hardwood flooring in your home you might want to consider a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model features a powerful robot vacuum with intelligent navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it can mop as well. The sensors help it avoid the stairs and other hazards, so you don't need to worry about the bot plummeting down the stairs and damaging your hardwood.

When it comes to mops, the eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually clean hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than wipe them clean to remove light dust and dirt. The mop pads that are reusable reduce the amount of waste and make it less likely to spread germs, and can be cleaned at the docking station, saving you time. They can also be dried, washed and reused.

Both the robovac as well as the mop can be controlled from your smartphone, making it easier to manage the device. For instance you can use the app to create an area where the vacuum can't go, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning sessions 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 you don't need to empty the bin manually as often as other models.

Best for Small Spaces

As the name implies, these robots are best to be used in small spaces. They have smaller bins that contain less waste, and they're more efficient than larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also be tucked under furniture, where larger robots are unable to reach. 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 began adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would get stuck on or run over. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robot incident.

However, the new sensors haven't solved all of the issues these machines face. The lower-end models are not able to traverse the same obstacles as the older models, and require an adequate amount of light in order to be able to see where they're moving. If you are living in a dark space or have lots of low-profile furniture, consider buying a model that utilizes top-mounted spinning laser units to map your area, as our top overall and runner-up choices do. This lets them work in the dark and avoid obstacles like stairs.

In addition to being capable of working in the dark, these models can be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when they're near or on the floor, not above them. It's important to cover mirrors to prevent this from occurring. The lasers used by LIDAR-based models can bounce off reflective surfaces, making the robot think it's in a different space.

Some of the models that we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas that you don't want the robot to visit. This is a great option for those with small children or pets. These features aren't available on all models we test. Read our full reviews before making your choice.
