How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum will save you a lot of time and hassle in the case of regular touch-ups. Top performers are good at getting rid of dust light debris, cords and dust.

The most expensive models can even sweep your floors but they aren't able to climb up the stairs. Look for models that have smart robot mapping, real-time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The best robots we tried were user-friendly, efficient, and able keep up with daily debris. You'll need a model with adequate carpet-picking capabilities and the ability to handle stairs. If you're looking for additional features, you might be interested in a model that uses smart mapping technology, or an application that allows you to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tested dozens of robotic vacuums. She's a fan of the robot vacuums that provide the greatest convenience, including self-emptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robots. She also loves robots that can recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables, so they won't get tripped up when climbing the stairs.

This Black and Decker robot broom has a lower score for navigation and has less object-avoidance technology than the most popular models. However, it has an ample dust bin that doesn't require frequent emptying, and has a long battery life. It also has an option that allows you to schedule cleaning times and then return to where it stopped last, making it easier for you to take care of larger areas. This model is also a good option for pet owners as it is able to spot and prevent tangled hair as well as fallen food particles.

In our tests, we observed that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined with a LIDAR (light) sensor that can identify obstacles and map rooms using a structured-light sensor that can identify objects and detect edges. The combination lets it avoid steps, drops of liquid, and furniture legs easily and save up to four floor maps to be used in the future for reference. It is able to stop and restart cleaning at any point, so that you can continue with your chores while it is working. The app includes a 3D view of your home with room labels and advanced cleaning options.

This robot is not as effective at cleaning as our top models, however it is great in removing heavier objects 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 slightly less impressive navigation system.

The best option for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, you should look for a robotic vacuum cleaner amazon vacuum that has good pickup and a high score for maneuverability on carpets and rug. Many models do a decent job of picking up dust that is embedded in carpets with low pile, and several do a decent job at cleaning up larger debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair. However, they can't handle small particles as well as an upright or canister vacuum and may also be unable to pick up dirt in the vicinity of thresholds and baseboards.

For most carpeted homes the 2-in-1 robot vacuum is the best option. You can swap out the cleaning bin for a moist mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop that can clean and mop at the same time with circular pads that spin at 200 revolutions per minute. It is able to detect and lift its pads when they come into contact with carpet, which prevents the flooring from becoming wet. You don't need to take them off or replace them each time. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuum/mops at 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 schedule it to clean your home even when you're away. It can be set to mop only. We were impressed by its ability to navigate on floors with no flooring as well as carpets. The Combo i5 has a long time to run and excellent path planning for a device of this size.

If you're looking for a high-tech vacuum Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic alternative. It comes with a large charging dock that can go months without needing to be empty, and it has amazing navigation abilities and automatic emptying on bare floors and carpets. It also has a clever mapping system and can be programmed to only run during certain times (a useful feature to stop pets and children who are prone to mischief from running wild). The Shark is less powerful than other robot vacuum/mop combinations however, it still manages to pick up pet hair and hair very well. It's also the best price of our top robot vacuum picks.

The best choice for hardwood floors

Robot vacuums are the best choice for floors made of hardwood, since they can maneuver through obstacles with ease without causing damage the surfaces that are not. They are excellent at of picking up dust and crumbs, but they are unable to deal with pet hair and other large debris. They lack the suction of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, which makes them unsuitable for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas.

The most effective robots are two-in-one, combining a vacuum with a mop to do a complete job in one step. Find a model that has an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor texture and adjust suction to match. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and lets it move seamlessly from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If you have lots of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to think about a robot mop and vacuum like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model features an efficient robot vacuum with intelligent navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, plus it can mop too. The sensors in it allow it to avoid hazards such as stairs.

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

Both the robovac and mop are both controlled by your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. For instance, you can make use of the app to create no-go zones where the vacuum cannot enter, or to label rooms and schedule specific cleaning sessions. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via trapdoors, and then stores it in a bag-less or disposable bin. This means you don't have to empty the bin manually as often as you do with other models.

Ideal for small Spaces

As the name suggests, these robots are best designed for smaller areas. They have smaller bins, which can hold less garbage. They are also more efficient in moving around corners more efficiently over larger models. They can also fit underneath furniture where larger robots have difficulty reaching. These robots are also cheaper than higher-end models, however you will need to empty their dirt bins manually at the end each cleaning session.

A few years ago, robot vacuums went through a major change when manufacturers started adding sensors to help navigate around and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would be stuck on or over. This improved the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic accident.

The new sensors haven't eliminated all the problems with these machines however. The cheaper models are still not able to traverse the same obstacles as the older models, and require a certain level of light to be able to be able to see where they're moving. If you live in a dark house or have a lot of low-profile furniture, consider purchasing a top-mounted spinning LIDAR unit to map your space like our best overall and runner-up choices do. This allows them to work in darkness and avoid obstacles like stairs.

They can be programmed to only use their cliff sensors only when they are near or on the ground, and not when they are above it. You'll still need to cover any mirrors that may interfere with this function, however, because the lasers used by a LIDAR-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to think it's in a different room.

A few of the models we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas you don't want the robot to go to. This is helpful for those with pets or small children. These features aren't available on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before making your choice.
