How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner Robot vacuums can help you save time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning The best models do a great job picking up dust and light debris and allow you to designate nogo zones in pet areas or power cords The more expensive models even clean your floorsthough they still cant climb the stairs Find models that feature intelligent mapping realtime hazard avoidance and large selfemptying bins Best Overall The best robots we tested were reliable userfriendly and able to cope with the daily debris Youll want a robot with decent carpetpicking capability and the ability to take on stairs If youre looking for a robot with additional features think about a model that has smart mapping technology or an app to control it remotely Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tested dozens of robotic vacuums Shes a fan of the robotic vacuums that offer the greatest convenience such as selfemptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robots She also likes robots that can recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so they wont get tripped up when climbing steps Compared with the toprated models this Black and Decker robot vacuum is less equipped with objectavoidance technology and its navigation score is lower best automatic vacuum comes with a large dust bin that is nonrefillable and an extended battery It also comes with the ability to schedule cleaning times and return to where it stopped at the last point making it easier to clean larger homes This model is an excellent choice for pet owners because it will prevent the tangles of fur and food particles In our tests in our tests the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines with a LIDAR sensor that can map rooms and detect obstacles with a structured light sensor to identify objects and detect edges It can stay clear of stairs liquid droplets and furniture legs with this combination It can also save up to four floor plans for future use It is also able to stop the cleaning process at any time and return to where it stopped so that you can complete chores while the robot does its work The included app provides an interactive 3D model of your home room labels and more advanced cleaning options Although this robot isnt able to clean as well as our toprated models it is superior in removing fine debris such as baking soda and sand as well as heavier items like orzo pasta and screws made of metal The only drawback is that its not able to mop and has a slightly less impressive navigation system The best for Carpet If you have carpeting in your home you should look for a vacuum that has good pickup and a high score for maneuverability on carpets and rugs Many models are capable of collecting dust from lowpile rugs Some can be quite effective in cleaning up larger debris like orzo pasta and metal screws They dont pickup fine particles like an upright or canister and could be unable to pick up dirt close to baseboards or thresholds The best choice for most carpeted areas is a 2in1 robot vacuummop which lets you swap in an empty bin for cleaning and mopping pad with damp The Roborock Q Revo is a 2in1 robotic vacuummop that is able to clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads spinning at 200 revolutions per minute It detects and lifts the pads when it encounters carpet to prevent wetting the floor and you dont need to remove or replace them after each use The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuumsmops in staying clear of obstacles getting close to rugs and thresholds and avoiding obstacles The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option It performed well in our tests and you can program it to sweep your home while you are away It can be set to mop only We were impressed by its ability to navigate on bare floors as well as rug The Combo i5 also has a very long runtime and a great pathplanning feature for such a small device If you want a more hightech model consider the Shark AI Ultra 2in1 SelfEmpty Robot Vacuum Mop It comes with a large dock that can last for weeks without needing to be emptied It also has amazing navigation and autoemptying capabilities on carpets and floors with no floor It also has a smart mapping system and can be programmed to only run during certain times a useful feature for keeping pets and children who are prone to mischief from running wild The Shark isnt as powerful than other robot vacuums and mops however its still efficient in removing hair and pet hair and is the most affordable of our top picks Best for Hard Floors Robot vacuums are ideal for floors with hardwood floors because they can navigate around obstacles without causing damage to the surfaces that are not They do an excellent job of removing dust and crumbs however they struggle with pet hair and larger debris They lack the suction power of the top canister or upright vacuum making them unsuitable for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas The most effective twoinone robots incorporate mopping and vacuum taking care of an entire task in one sweep Find a model that has an onboard sensor to detect changes in the floor texture and adjust suction in line with the changes The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9 for instance comes with this feature and can move seamlessly from hard to soft carpeting If you have a lot of hardwood flooring in your home you might want to think about a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro This model has an impressive robotic vacuum that has smart navigation that can clean hardwood floors and other surfaces It also mop Its sensors assist it in avoiding staircases and other hazards so you dont have to worry about the bot plummeting down the stairs and breaking your hardwood The eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to wash hardwood floors using downward pressure not simply swab them to get rid of dirt and dust Its reusable mop pads reduce the amount of waste and make it less likely to spread germs and can be cleaned at the docking station to save you time They can also be dried washed and used again Both the robovac as well as the mop are both controlled by your smartphone making it easier to manage the device For instance you can use the app to create an area where the vacuum cant go or mark rooms as separate or schedule cleaning sessions for certain areas The Eufy S1 Pro also has an autoemptying dock that collects debris through a trapdoor and stores it in a bagless or disposable bin so you dont have to empty the bin manually as often as you do with other models Best for Small Spaces These robots are made for small spaces They have smaller bins that hold less waste and theyre more efficient than larger models in navigating tight corners They can also fit under furniture whereas larger robots struggle to get in They are generally less expensive than the higherend models however youll need to empty them manually from their dirt bins at end of each cleaning session A few years ago robot vacuums underwent a major change Manufacturers began adding sensors that allowed them to avoid household items that traditional sensors might be stuck on or across These improvements reduced the number times our testers were required to clean up after a robot incident However the new sensors havent resolved all of the issues these machines face The cheapest models are still struggling with the same challenges that the older ones faced and many of them require a certain amount illumination to be able to see where theyre going Look into one that has an LIDAR spinning unit that is placed on top of the model to trace the area Our best overall models and runnersup models have this feature This lets them stay clear of stairs and other obstacles when working in darkness In addition being capable of working in the dark these models can be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when theyre on or near the floor not when theyre above them It is essential to cover mirrors to prevent this from occurring The lasers used by LIDARbased models can bounce off reflective surfaces making the robot believe its in a different room Some of the models that we recommend allow you to create virtual nogo zones for areas you dont wish the robot to visit This is helpful for those with pets or small children These features arent included on all of the models we test so make sure to read our full reviews of the choices below before making your purchase
