How to Choose the best robot vacuum cleaner (visit the next page)

A robot vacuum will save you lots of time and hassle in the case of regular cleaning. Top performers do a good job at removing dust and light debris and allow you to designate no-go zones in pet areas or power cords.

The ones that are more expensive can even mop your floor, but they can't climb up the stairs. Make sure you choose models with smart mapping, real time hazard avoidance and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The best robots we tried were user-friendly, efficient and able to keep up with the daily debris. You'll need a robot that has decent carpet-picking power and the ability to take on stairs. If you're looking for a robot that has additional features, you should consider one that comes with smart mapping technology or an app that allows you to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau, a contributing shopping writer for PEOPLE and a product reviewer who has tried numerous robotic vacuums, is credited with testing dozens of robot vacuums. She prefers the robovacs with the most conveniences like those that have self cleaning vacuum cleaner-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robotic vacuums. She's also a big fan of the robots that are able to recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cords so they don't trip when climbing steps.

This robot from Black and Decker has a lower score on navigation and has less object-avoidance technology than the most popular models. It comes with a large dust bin that is non-refillable and a long battery. It also comes with the ability to schedule cleaning sessions, and return to where it stopped last, making it easier to take care of larger areas. This model is a good choice for pet owners because it will prevent hair tangles and food particles.

In our tests, we discovered that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined the LIDAR (light) sensor that can identify rooms and obstacles using a structured-light sensor that can detect objects and detect edges. It is able to avoid the steps, liquid droplets and furniture legs easily using this combination. It also has the ability to save up to four floor plans for later use. It is able to stop and restart cleaning at any time, meaning you can continue to do chores while it is working. The app includes an interactive 3D model of your home with room labels as well as advanced cleaning options.

The robot isn't as effective at cleaning as our top models, however it is a pro in removing heavier objects like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine debris such as sand. Its only drawbacks are that it's not able to mop, and has a less efficient navigation system.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, search for a robotic automated vacuum cleaner that has strong pickup and maneuverability scores on carpets and rug. Many models do a decent job of picking up dust that has been embedded in carpets with a low pile and a few do a good job of cleaning up larger debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. However, they aren't able to pick up small particles like an upright or canister vacuum and may also not pick up dirt that is ground-in close to thresholds and baseboards.

The best option for carpeted homes is a two-in-one robot automated vacuum cleaner/mop. It allows you to swap out a cleaning bin and a damp mopping pad. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop that is able to clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads that spin at 200 rpm. It detects and lifts its pads when they come into contact with carpet, preventing the floor from becoming wet. You don't have remove them or replace them each time. The Q Revo is also more efficient than other robot vacuum/mops in the absence of obstacles and in getting closer to carpets and thresholds.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option. It performed well in our tests and you can program it to clean your home even when you're away. It can also be set to only mop and we were impressed by its remarkable navigation on bare floors and rugs and its ability to climb up and over furniture. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path planning for an item of this size.

If you're looking for a advanced model, look into the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It has a huge charging dock that can run for several weeks without having to be empty and has amazing navigation capabilities and auto-emptying on carpets and floors that are not cleaned. It also has an intelligent mapping system that can be programmed to only operate during certain hours of the day (a useful feature to keep children and pets who are prone to mischief from causing havoc). The Shark isn't as powerful as other mop/robot combination models, but it still picks up pet hair and hair with a high degree of accuracy. It's also the most affordable value of our top choices.

The best choice for hardwood floors

Robot vacuums are ideal for hardwood floors, as they can maneuver around obstacles easily without damaging bare surfaces. They are capable of removing dust and crumbs, but they aren't able to handle pet hair and other larger particles. They lack the suction power of a high-end upright or canister vacuum, so they're not the best option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that requires deep cleaning.

The most effective robots are two-in-one, combining a vacuum with a mop to complete the task in one move. Find one that has an onboard sensor that detects any changes in the flooring and adjust suction in line with the changes. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+ for instance, has this feature and can go seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.

If you have a lot of hardwood flooring in your home, you might want to think about a robot mop and vacuum combination like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model features a powerful robotic vacuum that has intelligent navigation to clean hardwood and other hard surfaces, and it can mop as well. Its sensors allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.

When it comes to mop pads the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually clean hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than just wipe them over to remove dust and dirt. 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, saving you time. They are also able to be washed, dried and reused.

The robovac can be operated by your smartphone, making it simpler to use. You can, for example make use of the app to create zones where the vacuum cannot enter, or to label rooms or schedule specific cleaning sessions. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via trapdoors and then puts it in a bag-less or disposable bin. This means that you don't need to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.

Best suited for small Spaces

As the name implies, these robots are best suited for small spaces. 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, where larger robots struggle to get in. They are usually less expensive than the more expensive models, however, you'll need to empty them manually from their dirt storage compartments at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years ago, robot vacuums underwent a major transformation when manufacturers began adding sensors to help them navigate around and avoid household objects that traditional sensors would be stuck on or over. This improved the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic snag.

The new sensors don't solve all the problems that these devices have, however. The less expensive models are unable to navigate the same obstacles as older models, and they need an adequate amount of light to be able to see where they are moving. Look into an option that incorporates an LIDAR spinning unit that is that is mounted on top to map the area. Our top models and runners-up models use this. This lets them avoid stairs and other barriers while working in the dark.

They can also be programmed to only use their cliff sensors only when they are in or near the ground, and not when they are above it. You'll still want to shield any mirrors that might interfere with this function however, since the laser used by a laser-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to think it is in another room.

Some of the models that we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas you don't want the robot to enter. This can be helpful when you have pets or children who are small. Those features aren't available on all the models we've tested and recommend that you go through our complete reviews of the models below before you make a purchase.
