How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Robot vacuums will save you time and effort when it comes to cleaning. Top performers are good at cleaning up dust, light debris and cords.
The ones that are more expensive can even mop your floor however they're not able to climb up stairs. Look for models with intelligent mapping, real-time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.
Best Overall
The best robots that we tested are efficient, easy to use, and able to keep up with everyday debris. You'll need a robot that has decent carpet-picking capability and the ability to take on stairs. And, if you're looking for extra features, you might be interested in a robot equipped with smart mapping technology or an app that lets you control it remotely.
Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tried dozens of robotic vacuum cleaners vacuums. She prefers the robovacs with the most conveniences like those that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill water tanks to mop robotic vacuums. She also loves robots that recognize landmarks, such as furniture legs and power cables, so they won't trip up when climbing stairs.
When compared to the top-rated models, this Black and Decker robot vacuum is less equipped with object-avoidance technology and its score for navigation is lower. It comes with a large, non-refillable dustbin and an extended battery. It also comes with an option that allows you to schedule cleaning times and then return to where it stopped at the last point, making it easier to clean larger homes. This model is also a good option for pet owners as it is able to identify and prevent tangled hair as well as fallen food particles.
In our tests we tested the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines with a LIDAR sensor that maps rooms and detect obstacles, with a structured light sensor that can identify objects and detect edges. It can avoid the steps, liquid droplets and furniture legs easily with this combination. It also has the ability to save up to four floor plans for future use. It is able to stop and restart cleaning at any point, so you can continue to do chores while it is working. The included app offers the 3D image of your home, room labels, and advanced cleaning options.
This model isn't as good at cleaning like our top models, but it excels in picking up larger items like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine particles such as sand. The only downside is that it isn't able to mop and has a less impressive navigation system.
The best for Carpet
If you have carpeting in your home, you should look for a robot vacuum with excellent pickup and good maneuverability scores on carpet and rugs. Many models are capable of picking up dust in low-pile rugs. Some do a decently job of sweeping up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and screws made of steel. They don't pick-up small particles like an upright or canister, and may miss dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.
For homes with carpets, a 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum is the best choice. You can swap out a cleaning bin to a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, is a vacuum cleaner and mops with circular pads that rotate at 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts its pads when it comes into contact with carpets, preventing the flooring from getting wet. You don't have to remove them or replace them every time. The Q Revo is also better than other robot vacuum/mops at avoiding obstacles, [Redirect-302] getting close to rugs and thresholds, and staying clear of obstacles.
Another good option is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which did exceptionally well in our tests and can be scheduled using the app to clean when you're away from home. It can also be set to mop only, and we liked its remarkable navigation on bare floors and rugs, as well as its ability to climb up and over furniture. The Combo i5 also has a very long run time and a great path-planning feature for such a small device.
If you're looking for a high-tech vacuum Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic option. It comes with a large charging dock that can last for several weeks without having to be emptying, and it has amazing navigation capabilities and automatic emptying on carpets and floors that are not cleaned. It also has a smart mapping system that can be programmed to only run during certain hours (a beneficial feature to keep mischievous children and dextrous animals from running amok). The Shark isn't as powerful as other robot vacuum/mop combinations however it still manages to pick hair and pet hair very well. It's also the best value of our top choices.
Best for Hard Flooring
Robot vacuums are best for floors made of hardwood, since they can maneuver around obstacles easily without damaging bare surfaces. They are capable of removing dust and crumbs, however they struggle with pet hair and other large debris. They lack the suction of the top canister or upright vacuum, making them unsuitable for deep cleaning upholstery or carpeted areas.
The most effective robots are those that are two-in-one, which combine a vacuum with a mop to do a complete job in one go. Find a model that has an onboard sensor to detect any changes in the flooring and adjust suction accordingly. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+ for instance, [Redirect-302] has this feature and can transition seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.
If your home is primarily composed of hardwood floors, you should consider an automated vacuum and mop combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model features a powerful robot vacuum with smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, plus it can mop as well. Its sensors assist it in avoiding the stairs and other hazards, so you don't have to worry about the robot falling down the stairs and damaging your hardwood.
The eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors by applying downward pressure, not simply swab them to get rid of dirt and dust. The pads that are reusable reduce waste and spread fewer germs. They can also be cleaned in docking stations to help save time. The mop pads can also be cleaned and dried to prevent the spread of mold.
Both the robovac as well as the mop can be controlled by your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. For instance you can make use of the app to designate a zone where the vacuum can't go or mark rooms as separate or schedule cleaning times for specific areas. The Eufy S1 Pro also has an auto vacuum-emptying dock that collects debris through a trapdoor, and stores it in a disposable or bagless bin, which means you don't need to empty the bin manually as often as you do with other models.
Best Self Cleaning Vacuum suited for small Spaces
As the name suggests, these robots are best designed for smaller areas. They have smaller bins that hold less garbage, and are more efficient than larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture that larger robots can't 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 couple of years ago, robotic vacuums underwent a major transformation as manufacturers began adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that traditional sensors would be stuck on or over. These improvements reduced the number times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic incident.
The new sensors aren't completely eliminating all the issues that these devices have, however. The less expensive models are not able to tackle the same obstacles as the older models, and they need a certain level of light in order to see where they are moving. If you are living in a dark space or have a lot of low-profile furniture, consider buying a model that utilizes top-mounted spinning laser units to map your area, like our best floor vacuum robot overall and runner-up choices do. This lets them work in the dark and avoid obstacles like stairs.
In addition being able to work in the dark they can also be configured to use their cliff sensors only when they're near or on the floor, not above them. It is still recommended to cover any mirrors that might interfere with this function however, because the laser used by a laser-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it's in another room.
Some of the models that we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas that you don't want the robot to go to. This is helpful for those with pets or children who are small. These features aren't included on all the models we test so make sure to review our full reviews of the models below prior to making a purchase.
