The best robot cleaner Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the chore of vacuuming a little less painful. Modern models can also mop and climb (small) steps.

They have a small dustbin which they empty themselves and some can be controlled from a smartphone app instead of the physical remote. Some models have mapping features that aid in navigation.

1. Power

Our top choice for robot vacuums has suction power of 8,000Pa, which is powerful enough to eliminate even the most stubborn hairs and dirt. Its super-thin square design allows it to slide under furniture such as beds and sofas and its Dual-Laser LiDAR technology provides precise navigation and obstacle avoidance. It's also great at cleaning baking powder, pet hair, and other debris near corners and baseboards.

Aside from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, other top-of-the-line bots on this list include the Robot Roomba J7+ as well as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The latter comes with a powerful docking station that automatically performs maintenance and mopping functions as well. Its powerful suction system, along with its effective mopping feature, made sure my floors were free of pet hair, muddy prints and other messes on all floors we tested.

A model that has 2,500Pa suction is sufficient for most homes in the lower price range. These units are quieter and therefore a better option for those who have sensitive ears. They're still not quiet, but they're just about the same as a normal conversation at home.

Take into consideration your budget and cleaning needs to determine the best combination of power and usability. For frequent light-duty cleaning it is recommended to have a longer runtime and a lower suction is required. Weekly heavy-duty cleaning requires the most power. Consider your flooring, home layouts and cleaning schedules to determine the best robot vacuum and mop model to meet your needs. We recommend checking out our complete list of robot vacuum reviews and ratings to get more information on the latest models available. Many customers report having their carpets and floors appear cleaner after introducing a robotic vacuum to their home.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum cannot accomplish its task if it does not know how to navigate around your home. The best robots employ sophisticated navigation technologies to scan rooms and create maps, ensuring thorough cleaning without getting stuck or hitting obstacles. There are three major types of robot navigation: LiDAR-based sensor-based, and camera-based.

The most expensive models use LiDAR to create a digital map of the room, offering the highest levels of precision and efficiency. Cheaper models rely on bump sensors, which can be more inaccurate and tend to miss a lot of debris in dark areas. The majority of robots have cliff sensors that prevent them from falling down stairs or other drops.

Several robots in my tests used object recognition to deftly navigate things like fake cords and dog turds, however, the best was the Eufy X10. It was a fantastic mapping device, powerful oscillating mops, a user-friendly app and the ability to clean by zone, room or all of the house.

Consider features such as sensors that detect floors that automatically boost suction power when required. Certain robots, like the Roborock mop, make use of a mopping pad lift to get into corners and clean up dried spills. Many hybrids can even apply cleaning solutions to stubborn staining.

A smaller size of the bin will require less frequent emptying, while bigger ones will cost less to replace. Most low-cost robotic cleaners use a small, disposable dust bag. However, most middle-priced models have larger 3L dustbins that last a long time. Certain premium robots such as the EcoVACS DEEBOT OMNI Station are able to self-empty and refill their water tanks, allowing hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The majority of robot vacuums with mop vacuums come with an app that can monitor the progress of cleaning and schedule cleaning sessions. They also connect to smart home devices. Many robot vacuums can be controlled using voice commands, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Some models have a separate remote control that allows you to start, pause and return to dock. Choose a model that has larger dustbins that self-empty instead of one that requires manual emptying.

Some robovacs come with mapping technology that allows them to recognize obstacles, such as staircases, and prevents them from running into 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 cliff sensor to stop them from falling, which is beneficial in multi-level homes.

If you want to make use of your robot vacuum to clean rug carpets, you should choose a model which can be used for dry and wet mopping. You'll have better results cleaning when your vacuum can also take off its mop pad. Clean it and attach it again when you are ready to run another cleaning cycle. Find robots that have the rubber roller. This is less likely to become tangled from pet hair or other particles. It's a good idea inspect the robot's brushroll as well as side brushes for debris stuck on once or twice a week Also. If you notice that they're starting to clog up, it may be time to replace parts.

4. Debris collection

As the name suggests robot vacuums are made to collect dust and other debris from your floors. The most effective robot vacuums are able to collect tiny particles, such as sand and baking soda, as well as larger ones like screws made of metal orzo, as well as pet hair. They also have better pickup results on carpets with low pile than the majority of manual vacuums.

In all flooring types, the top performing robots had pick-up scores of more than 95 95%. The two top performers in this category were the ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo. Both are highly automated, with docking stations that can perform maintenance on their own, and app features which make them extremely user-friendly.

They both have self-emptying bins that automatically take the contents of the wastebasket and can clean the washboard while mowing. They also feature 8,000Pa suction and smart mapping technology and advanced obstacle avoidance that helps them find their way around even the most difficult areas. The ECOVACS model is also among the few robots that we tested that could remove its mop pads and vacuum carpet which makes it the best choice for users who need to switch between vacuuming and mopping frequently.

If you want a cheaper option, we recommend the iRobot Roomba Kombo J7+, our budget-friendly pick. It comes with LIDAR navigation and decent debris pickup performance for the price. It can be a bit slow when it comes to mapping rooms and is susceptible to hitting obstacles, but it is less than the other choices.

5. Battery life

The most effective robot vacuums let you go about your day while they keep your floors in top state. You'll still need to manually vacuum your home every so often but robovacs can assist you in maintaining a minimum level of cleanliness and even clean when you are away.

To maximize the amount of time you can use your robovac, choose the model that has a high battery life. A good rule of thumb is to anticipate a model to last for about two full cleaning sessions if you use it at the maximum power setting. This is smaller than a large vacuum but it should be sufficient to clean most homes. If you don't like to sit around waiting for your robovac charges you could choose one that will automatically make its way back to the base station to recharge.

If you're looking for a robot that has a little bit of everything in it, then consider an option that also mop. Eufy's X10 is the top model of this category, offers self-emptying and self-refilling for the dust bin, the water tank, and mop pad. It can even be programmed to automatically re-fill and wash its own mops when they're running low.

The clear winner of our tests is the Dyson V810, because of its impressive carpet and hard floor pickup, outstanding hair pickup, tangle-free performance and a near perfect auto empty score. However, it's not cheap and unless you live in an apartment with no pets, it could be too expensive for some. The second-placed model, the Dreametech D10+, has identical performance, but is priced 25 percent less.
