How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner Best Vacuum bot cleaner

Robot vacuums can help you save time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The best models are capable of getting rid of dust light debris, cords and dust.

The pricier ones even mop your floors--though they still can't climb the stairs. Look for models that have smart mapping, real time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots we've tested in our testing are efficient, easy to use, and are able to cope with everyday debris. You'll need a robot that has decent carpet-picking power and the capability to climb stairs. If you want a robot vacuum cleaner on sale with extra features, consider an option that incorporates smart mapping technology or an app to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tried many robotic vacuums. She prefers the ones with the most features such as ones that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill the water tanks used to mop robotic vacuums. She also likes the robots that can recognize landmarks like furniture legs and power cords to ensure they don't get caught when climbing the stairs.

When compared with the top-highest rated robot vacuum models this Black and Decker robot vacuum is less equipped with object-avoidance technology, and its navigation score is lower. It comes with a large, non-refillable dustbin and a long battery. In addition, it has an option that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and return to the place where it last stopped and makes it much easier to cover larger areas. This model is also a great option for pet owners since it is able to spot and prevent tangled hair as well as fallen food particles.

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

This robot is not as effective at cleaning as our top models, but it is a pro at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine particles such as sand. The only drawbacks are that it isn't able to mop and its navigation system is less impressive.

The best for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, look for a robot vacuum with good pickup and a high score for maneuverability on carpets and rugs. A lot of models do a great job of picking up dust that is embedded in carpets with low pile and a few do a good job of sweeping up heavier debris like orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair. They aren't able to pick up fine particles like an upright canister, and they may miss dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.

For carpeted homes, a 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop is the best option. You can swap out a cleaning bin to a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that can clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads that spin at 200 revolutions per minute. It detects and raises the pads when it encounters carpet to avoid wetting the floor. You don't have to take them off or replace them after every use. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot vacuum/mops in avoiding obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.

Another option that is worth considering is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which performed very well in our tests and can be scheduled via the app to clean when you're away from home. It can be set to only mop. We were impressed by its ability to navigate on floors with no flooring as well as carpets. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path planning for a device of this size.

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line vacuum that is high-tech, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a great option. It has a huge charging dock that can run for months without needing to be emptying and boasts impressive navigation skills and auto-emptying on bare floors and carpets. It also has a smart-mapping system and can be programmed to operate at certain times of the day (a handy feature for keeping mischievous kids and dextrous pets from causing havoc). The Shark isn't as powerful as other robot vacuum price vacuum/mop combinations however it still manages to pick up pet hair and hair extremely well. It's also the most affordable price of our top picks.

Ideal for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are the best choice for hardwood floors, as they can maneuver through obstacles with ease without causing damage floors that aren't. They are great at picking up dust and crumbs but struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They don't have the suction power of a high-end upright or canister vacuum, so they're not the ideal option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that needs deep cleaning robot price.

The most effective robots are two-in-one, combining mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one move. Find models that have an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor texture and adjust suction accordingly. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and allows it to effortlessly switch from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If you have lots of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to consider a robot mop and vacuum like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model is a powerful robotic vacuum equipped with smart navigation that can clean hardwood floors and other surfaces. It can also mop. Its sensors allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.

When you need mops the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors with downward pressure rather than wipe them clean to get rid of light dust and dirt. Its reusable mop pads reduce the amount of waste, and reduce the spread of germs and can be cleaned in the docking station, saving you time. They are also able to be dried, washed and used again.

Both the robovac and mop can be controlled from your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. You can, for example make use of the app to create zones that the vacuum will not enter, label different rooms, or schedule specific cleaning times. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via trapdoors and then puts it in a bagless or disposable bin. This means you don't have to empty the bin manually as often as you do with other models.

Best for Small Spaces

These robots are specifically designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that can hold less waste, and they're more efficient than larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, where the larger robots struggle to get in. They are also less expensive than more expensive models, however you will have to empty their dirt compartments manually at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years ago, robot vacuums underwent a major transformation when manufacturers started adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their traditional sensors would become stuck on or over. These improvements reduced the number times our testers were required to clean up after a robotic snag.

However, the latest sensors haven't resolved all of the issues these machines face. The cheaper models are still unable to navigate the same obstacles as the older models, and require some level of illumination in order to see where they are moving. Look into a model that uses a spinning LIDAR unit placed on top of the model to trace the area. Our top models and runners-up models do this. This lets them work in darkness and avoid obstacles such as stairs.

In addition being capable of working in the dark they can also be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when they're on or near the floor, not above them. You'll still need to shield any mirrors that may interfere with this function, however, because the lasers used by a LIDAR-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it is in another room.

A few of the models we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas you don't want the robot to visit. This can be helpful for those with small children or pets. These features aren't included on all the models we test so make sure to read our full reviews of each model below before you make a purchase.
