How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum can save you lots of time and hassle when it comes to regular touch-ups. The best models are capable of picking up dust light debris, cords and dust.

The more expensive ones will even sweep your floor but they aren't able to climb stairs. Look for models that have smart mapping, real time hazard avoidance and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The best robots that we tested are efficient and easy to use and are able to cope with the everyday messes. You'll also want a robot that can take on stairs and has good cleaning power for carpets. If you're looking for additional features, you may be interested in a robot that uses smart mapping technology, or an application that allows you to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tested dozens of robotic vacuums. She prefers the robovacs with the most features like ones that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and refill water tanks to mop robotic vacuums. She also enjoys robots that can recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so they won't get tripped up when climbing stairs.

This robot from Black and Decker has a lower score for navigation and less object-avoidance tech than the most popular models. It comes with a huge, non-refillable dustbin and an extended battery. It also has an option that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions, and return to where it was last. This makes it easier to cover larger areas. This model is a good choice for pet owners, since it is able to avoid the tangles of fur and food particles.

In our tests, we found that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined a LIDAR (light) sensor which can identify rooms and obstacles using a structured-light sensor that can identify objects as well as detect edges. This combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid, and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor washing robot maps for future use. It can pause and resume cleaning at any time, meaning that you can continue doing chores while it does. The app includes an interactive 3D model of your home with room labels and advanced cleaning options.

While this robot can't clean as well as our top-rated models but it excels in removing fine debris like sand and baking soda and heavier items like orzo pasta and metal screws. The only drawbacks are that it's not able to mop and its navigation system is a little less impressive.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, pick an automatic hoover robot vacuum that has a high score for carpet and rug ability to maneuver and pick up. Many models do a good job of removing dust that is embedded in carpets with low pile and a few do a decent job at picking up heavier debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair. They don't pick-up small particles like an upright canister, and could miss dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.

For most carpeted homes the 2-in-1 robot vacuum ebay vacuum is the best option. It is possible to swap out the cleaning bin for a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 self-cleaning robot vacuums 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 carpets, preventing the flooring from getting wet. You don't have to remove them or replace them each time. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuum/mops at avoiding obstacles and rugs, while also getting close to them and thresholds, and avoiding obstacles.

Another good option is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which was a great performer in our tests and can be scheduled through the app to clean your home when you're away from home. It can be set to only mop and we loved its excellent navigation on rug and floor surfaces and its ability to get 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 comes with a large charging dock that can run for several weeks without having to be emptied and has amazing navigation capabilities and auto vacuum cleaner-emptying on both bare floors and carpets. It also has a smart mapping system that can be set to only run during certain times (a beneficial feature to keep pets and children who are prone to mischief from running amok). The Shark isn't as powerful than some other robot vacuum black friday vacuums and mops, but its still very efficient in removing hair and pet hair and is the most affordable of our top choices.

Best for Hard Flooring

Robot vacuums are ideal for floors with hardwood floors because they can maneuver through obstacles with ease without causing damage bare surfaces. They are great at picking up dust and crumbs but struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They also lack the suction power of a high-end upright or canister vacuum, which is why they're not the ideal choice for carpeted rooms or deep cleaning upholstery.

The most effective robots are those that come with two-in-one features, automatic Hoover robot combining mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one step. If you have mixed flooring you should look for one with an onboard sensor which detects changes in the floor's texture and adjusts suction accordingly. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and lets it effortlessly transition from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If your home is primarily comprised of hardwood floors, think about a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model uses a powerful robotic vacuum that has smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, and it has the ability to mop as well. Its sensors let it avoid dangers like stairs.

The eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors using downward pressure, instead of 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 the docking stations to save time. The mop pads can also be dried, washed, and reused.

Both the robovac and the mop can be controlled by your smartphone, making it easier to manage the device. For instance you can use the app to set up a no-go zone that the vacuum won't enter, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning sessions for certain areas. The Eufy S1 Pro also has an auto-emptying dock that collects debris through a trapdoor, and is then stored in a bagless or disposable bin, so you don't have to empty the bin manually like you do with other models.

Best for Small Spaces

Like the name suggests the robots are best suited for small spaces. They have smaller bins which hold less debris. They are also more efficient in getting around corners better as opposed to larger models. They can also fit underneath furniture that larger robots can't reach. They tend to be cheaper than the more expensive models, however, you'll need to empty them manually from their dirt bins at end of each cleaning session.

A couple of years ago, robotic vacuums went through a major change when manufacturers started adding sensors to help them navigate around and avoid household objects that their traditional sensors would become stuck on or over. These improvements reduced the number times our testers had to clean up after a robot accident.

The new sensors don't solve all the problems with these devices however. The cheapest models still struggle with the same obstacles that the older models faced and, in addition, they need a certain amount of light to be able see where they're headed. If you are living in a dark space or have lots of furniture with low-profiles, consider purchasing a top-mounted spinning LIDAR unit to map your space like our best overall and runner-up choices do. This will allow them to stay clear of stairs and other obstacles when working in darkness.

In addition to being capable of working in dark, these models can be configured to use their cliff sensors only near or on the floor, not above them. You'll still need to cover any mirrors that may interfere with this function however, since the lasers used by a LIDAR-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to think it's in another room.

A few of the models we recommend allow you to create virtual no-go areas for areas that you don't want the robot to visit. This is helpful if you have pets or small children. These features aren't offered on all the models we've tested so make sure to go through our complete reviews of the choices below before making your purchase.
