How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum can save you a lot of time and effort in the case of regular touch-ups. The best models are capable of getting rid of dust light debris, cords and dust.

The more expensive models even clean your floors, though they aren't able to climb stairs. Look for models with smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots we've tested that we tested are efficient, easy to use, and able to keep up with everyday debris. It is also important to choose a model capable of handling stairs and that has decent cleaning power for carpets. If you're looking for a robot with extra features, consider an option that incorporates 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 tested numerous robotic vacuums, is acknowledged for her work in testing dozens of robot vacuums. She's a fan of the robovacs that offer the most convenience, such as self-emptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill the water tanks used by mopping robots. She also likes robots that 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 has a lower navigation score and has less technology for avoiding objects than the best-rated models. However, it does have a large dustbin that doesn't need regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. Additionally, it has a feature that allows you to plan cleaning times and return to the place the last time it was used and makes it much easier to cover larger areas. This model is also a good option for pet owners since it is able to identify and avoid tangled hair and fallen food particles.

In our tests, we observed that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined with a LIDAR (light) sensor which can identify rooms and obstacles using a structured-light sensor that can identify objects and detect edges. The combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps for future references. It can also pause the cleaning process at any time and return to where it stopped, so you can do chores while the robot works. The app comes with an interactive 3D model of your home, room labels and more advanced cleaning options.

The robot isn't as efficient in cleaning as our top robot vacuum cleaner models, however it is great at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine particles such as sand. The only downsides are that it cannot mop and that its navigation system is less impressive.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, pick a robot vacuum ebay vacuum that scores high for rug and carpet maneuverability and pickup. Many models are capable of collecting dust from low-pile rugs, and some are capable of picking up heavier debris such as orzo pasta and metal screws. They don't pick-up fine particles like an upright or canister, and they may be unable to pick up dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.

The best option for carpeted areas is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop. It lets you swap in an empty bin for cleaning and a damp mopping pad. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, is a vacuum cleaner and mops with circular pads that spin at 200 rotations per minute. It recognizes and raises its pads when they come into contact with carpet, preventing the floor from becoming wet. It is not necessary to remove them or replace them each time. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuum/mops at staying clear of obstacles and rugs, while also getting close to them and thresholds and staying clear of obstacles.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option. It did well in our tests and you can set it up to schedule it to tidy your home when you are away. It can be set to mop only, and we liked its remarkable navigation on carpets and floors and its ability to go over and up onto furniture. The Combo i5 also has a very long runtime and a great path-planning feature for such a small device.

If you're looking for a more modern model, you can look at the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It comes with a large dock that can last for weeks without needing to be empty. It also features impressive capability to auto-empty carpets and bare floors. It's also got an intelligent mapping system that can be programmed to only be operational during certain times of the day (a useful feature that can keep the sly kids and pets from causing havoc). The Shark isn't as powerful than some other mop/robot vacuum cleaner amazon combos, but its still very good at picking up hair and pet hair and is the best value of our top picks.

Best for Hard Flooring

Robot vacuums are a great choice for hardwood floors as they are able to maneuver around obstacles without damaging bare surfaces. They are excellent for removing dust and crumbs, but struggle with pet hair or other debris. They don't have the suction of the top canister or upright vacuum, which makes them unsuitable for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas.

The most effective robots are those that are two-in-one, combining mop and vacuum to complete the job in one go. If you have floors that are mixed you should look for a model 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 allows it to effortlessly switch from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If your home is primarily made up of hardwood floors, you should consider a robotic mop and vacuum combination like the eufy S1 Pro. This model is a powerful robot vacuum with smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it has the ability to mop as well. The sensors help it avoid the stairs and other hazards, so you don't have to worry about the bot plummeting down the stairs and damaging your hardwood.

When it comes to mop pads the eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors with downward pressure rather than just wipe them to remove light dust and dirt. The mop pads are reusable, which reduce waste, spread germs less and can be cleaned at the docking station, saving your time. The mops can also be washed and dried to avoid spreading mold.

Both the robovac and mop can be controlled from your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. For instance you can use the app to set up an area where the vacuum can't go, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning sessions for specific areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via a trapdoor, and stores it in a bagless or disposable bin. This means that you won't have to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.

Ideal for small Spaces

Like the name suggests the robots are best designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less debris, and they're more efficient than the larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also fit underneath furniture that larger robots can't reach. These robots are also cheaper than higher-end models, but you will have to empty their dirt compartments manually at the end each cleaning session.

A few years back robotic vacuums experienced significant changes. Manufacturers started adding sensors that allowed them to navigate around and avoid household items that their traditional sensors might be stuck on or across. These improvements reduced the number times that our testers were required to clean up after a robot incident.

However, the new sensors haven't solved all of the problems these machines have. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same obstacles that the older ones did, and many of them require a certain amount illumination to see where they're going. Consider getting an option that incorporates an LIDAR spinning unit that is mounted on top to trace the space. Our top pick and runner-up models have this feature. This allows them to avoid obstacles like stairs and other ones while working in the dark.

These models can also be programmed to only use their cliff sensors when they are in or near the ground, but not when they are above it. You'll still want to shield any mirrors that may interfere with this function though, as the laser used by a LIDAR-based model can bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to think it is in another room.

Some of the models we recommend also allow you to create virtual no-go zones for areas where you don't want the robot to move, which is useful if you have pets or children. These features aren't present on all models we test. Read our full reviews before deciding.
