The Best Robot Vacuums

A quality robot vacuum does the majority of the work for you and nabs pet hair, lint and dirt before it adheres to furniture or sink into carpets. Many robot vacuums integrate with smart assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to give you a hands-free cleaning experience.

Many models include the ability to map, which allows them to create a map of your home. This allows them to avoid falling off ledges and traversing the cords of devices.

What to look for

Some robots come with advanced features that let you control them using apps and voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant. These include smart mapping spot and zone cleaning and objects avoiding. These machines may also come with larger dust bins and longer-lasting batteries.

Select a model that has a wide brush to remove large particles, and is thin enough to fit underneath furniture. Find out if the vacuum can clean different types of floors without altering the suction settings or brushes. This can reduce its effectiveness in cleaning and decrease its life span.

The best robot vacuums have high-quality filters to capture fine particles and protect your home. They also come with a large accessible bin for collecting so that you can empty it often. Some come with an additional side brush for sweeping up pet hair and other debris in difficult-to-access areas under and behind furniture. The dustbins are usually transparent, which means you can observe the amount of dirt in the bin, and when to empty it.

In addition to scheduling your robot vacuum for times when you're likely be at home, you can use the app to draw a boundary around your furniture and the rooms that you'd like it avoid. Some models also recognize the type of floor they're cleaning, and automatically adjust their brush and suction settings to suit the floor.

There are also robots that recharge and continue cleaning right where they left off in case their battery runs low. Some robot vacuums have a camera built in that allows you to see the path that your robot has taken and what it has collected.

Some robots can be operated by voice commands however, not all. Make sure the model you select is compatible with the voice assistant you prefer and test it out to see how well the robot responds to different commands before you purchase. Some robots even empty their trash bins or clean their docking station, which will help you reduce your chore list. This feature is costly, as are a larger storage container and a faster charging speed.

Cleaning Performance

While robots can't substitute for a full-on vacuum cleaner or broom, they can offer a reliable and effective alternative to the daily chore of cleaning floors. Whether you need to keep track of tracked-in dust or pet hair, crumbs and crumbs or pick up larger debris such as wood shavings and screws, most top-rated robotic cleaners are adept at removing various materials in the first go-around and without causing damage to your furniture or floors.

In most cases, they'll be able to detect what type of surface they're cleaning and adjust their suction or brush functions accordingly so that they can more effectively clean your floors. This is especially important when your home is made up of different kinds of flooring. Many models offer the option to set virtual boundaries. This allows you to instruct your robot to stay clear of certain areas of your house. This is helpful for keeping your pets or children from getting into areas they shouldn't be, and it can help ensure that your entire home gets cleaned in each scheduled session.

It is also important to consider how much autonomy you're comfortable giving your robot. Certain models require you be active and attentive, while others work on their own. They can alter cleaning modes and schedules via an app on mobile devices or by voice commands using an integrated smart assistant. Some models map and learn your home's space, and allow you to set up zones, and instruct the robot only to clean specific areas within your home on a weekly or daily basis.

In our tests, the iRobot+ proved to be the best robot to "set it and leave it". It was more adept at mapping, creating virtual borders and avoids obstacles than the other robots we tested. Additionally, it can empty itself completely so you don't have to do it manually. It also has side brushes that help to sweep debris away from corners and edges where it is difficult to reach.

Its slim profile and infrared sensors also allow it to get behind and under furniture for more thorough cleaning than other robots. Its advanced navigation system is more efficient in cleaning the entire floor of your home in a single charge than other devices we've tried. It's hard to beat, even at a reasonable price.

Battery Life

A good robot vacuum can make cleaning your floors feel less like a chore, and more like a treat. Quickly removing dirt, crumbs and shedding pet hair can make all the difference in how clean your home feels on a daily basis. A basic robot is able to handle the majority of cleaning tasks. However, those who prefer a less hands-on experience may want to look for a model that serves as a mops.

The Ecovacs Deebot T10 OMNI is one of the best models for both as it delivers excellent performance in both vacuuming and mop modes and is able to easily deal with dirt, debris, pet hair and even cat litter. The feature to avoid objects is awe-inspiring, allowing it to avoid objects and not get stuck on them.

It also has a long battery life and a large dust bin that allows it to cover a considerable amount of space in just one session. It's also a smart cleaner, which means that it can track your home and works with apps such as the ones offered by Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to allow you to control the vacuum with voice commands.

The app that comes with the robot allows you to create schedules, define specific rooms for cleaning or the ability to pause and resume sessions. It will notify you when its battery is low and then return to the docking station to recharge.

Another great feature of this robot is the ability to distinguish between carpets and hard floors and adjust its settings accordingly, which helps keep the machine from getting caught up in one type of surface or accidently tearing up furniture. It is not able to detect high-pile carpeting or seams in rooms, which is why it is important to be cautious when grabbing large objects.

To ensure that robot vacuums are in good condition, they require maintenance. This includes cleaning brushes of hair, and emptying the dust bin (and sometimes washing it) after every cleaning session. Cameras and sensors should also be cleaned between each use. The manufacturer will give specific instructions for these steps as well as other procedures, which will vary according to the model.

Cost

The best robot vacuum and mop combo robot vacuums may not be expensive, but they are far cheaper than a professional carpet cleaning machine or even a stand-up one. They also need less maintenance than a traditional vacuum as they require that you empty (and occasionally rinse) their bins after each cleaning session and often cleaning their sensors or cameras.

Many robot vacuums come with smart features that can make them more efficient for your home, such as mapping technology which lets you instruct the vacuum on the layout of your room via an app so that it is aware not to go over the stairs or underneath the furniture, where there might be the possibility of a mess. Others can tell what floor type they are working on, so they can adjust their suction and brush features to get the best results.

Some models feature objects avoidance, which utilizes sensors (or even cameras) to spot toys and other items on the floor and coach the robot to go around them rather than run over them. This is a great benefit for families with children or pets who tend to scatter toys around the home.

Voice control is another useful feature that you could find useful. It allows you to control your robot with your voice, instead of the buttons on the board. This is a great option if your children aren't old enough yet to operate the robot, or when it's convenient for you.

The frequency at which you use your robot will be contingent on the amount of dirt or debris has accumulated on your floor. The majority of experts recommend using a robotic vacuum at least once a week to keep your floors looking good and nabbing pet hair, lint and surface dirt before it is able to get ground in or become more difficult to remove.

If you're limited with flooring and don't intend to use your robot for other purposes, a budget model, such as our top pick, the Eufy 11S, is a good choice. It's reasonably priced, easy to install and operate and can complete the task with little noise interference while you watch TV or work.
