What Is The Future Of Robot Vacuum Be Like In 100 Years?
The Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can make the task of vacuuming a bit less painful. Modern models can mop, and even climb (small) steps.

Some have a small trash bin which they empty themselves. Others are controlled with apps for smartphones instead of the physical remote. Some have mapping features that help them navigate more efficiently.

1. Power

Our top pick for robotic vacuums has suction power of 8000Pa, which is strong enough to remove even the most stubborn hairs and dirt. Its ultra-thin square shape allows it to slide beneath furniture like sofas and beds. Dual-Laser LIDAR technology provides precise obstacle avoidance and intelligent navigation. It also does a great job at cleaning pet hair baking soda, other debris close to the baseboards and in corners.


Apart from the DEEBOT X2 OMNI bot, other top-of-the-line bots on this list include the Robot Roomba J7+ and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has docking stations that automatically performs maintenance. It also has mopping capabilities. Its powerful suction and efficient mopping helped keep my floors clear of pet hair, muddy paw prints, and other debris throughout every flooring type test we conducted.

In the lower cost range, a model that has 2,500Pa of suction is sufficient for the majority of homes. These units are quieter, making them the ideal choice for people who have sensitive hearing. They're not silent however they are not the same volume as conversations at home.

Consider your budget and cleaning requirements to find the perfect combination of power and efficiency. For frequent light-duty cleaning, a longer runtime with less suction is recommended. Cleaning that is heavy-duty every week requires maximum power. Consider your flooring, home layouts, and cleaning schedules to determine the best model to meet your needs. Check out our complete list of robot vacuum ratings and reviews for more details about the latest models. Many users report that their carpets and bare floor look cleaner after using a robotic vacuum.

2. Navigation

A robot vacuum cannot perform its task without knowing how to navigate around your home. For this reason, the best robots rely on advanced navigation technology that effectively scans rooms and builds maps to ensure thorough cleaning without being lost or hitting obstacles. There are three kinds of robot navigation including LiDAR, camera, and sensor.

The most expensive models use LiDAR to create a digital map of the room. This model offers the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. Bump sensors are used in lower-end models, however they aren't always accurate and miss a lot of debris when working in dark environments. Many robots also have cliff sensors to stop them from falling down stairs or other falls.

Several robots I tested used object recognition to navigate things like fake dog turds. But the Eufy X10 was the best. It was equipped with powerful mop heads that oscillate and a user-friendly app, and superb mapping capabilities.

Other features worth a look include floor type sensors that recognize carpets with soft and hard floors automatically increasing suction power when required. Certain robots such as the Roborock mop use a mopping pad lift that allows you to get into corners and clean dry spills. Many hybrids can apply cleaning solution on stubborn stains.

A smaller dustbin will require less frequent emptying, and a larger one will save you money on replacements. The cheapest robotic cleaners usually utilize a small disposable dust bag, whereas the majority of mid-range models come with larger 3L dustbins that last for ages. Some of the top models, like the EcoVACS DEEBOT OMNI station, can self-empty their bins and fill their water tanks for hands-free convenience.

3. App control

The majority of robot vacuums have an app that monitors cleaning progress, schedule sessions and connect to smart home devices. Many robot vacuums can be controlled via voice using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Certain models come with a remote control that allows you to begin, pause, and return to dock. Choose a model that has an extra large dustbin and is able to self-empty, rather than one that needs manual emptying.

Some robovacs have technology for mapping to help them avoid obstacles like stairs and furniture. Some robovacs allow you to create no-go zones as well as specific rooms so that they only clean the areas that require it the most. They also have a cliff detector to keep them from falling, which is especially beneficial in multi-level homes.

If you plan to make use of your robot vacuum to clean rugs pick one that can perform dry mopping and wet. You'll get better cleaning results by having your robot vacuum remove its mop pad. Clean it and reattach it when you need to conduct a clean-up cycle. Also look for a robot that has a rubber roller, which is less prone to knots caused by pet hair and other debris than bristle rollers that is found on smaller models. It's a good idea to examine the robot's brushroll and side brushes for debris stuck on every once or twice per week, too. If you notice that they're starting to clog, it may be time to replace parts.

4. Debris collection

Robot vacuums are made according to the name to gather dust and debris on your floors. The most effective robot vacuums are able to collect small particles such as baking soda and sand as well as larger ones such as metal screws, orzo, and pet hair. They also deliver better results on low pile carpets than many manual vacuums.

The top-performing robots across all flooring types had pickup scores greater than 95%. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI and the Roborock Q Revo were the two top-performing robots in this category. Both are highly automated, with docking stations that can perform maintenance by themselves and features in the app that make them extremely user-friendly.

They both come with self-emptying bins which automatically collect the waste from the wastebasket and can clean the washboard while mowing. They also come with an 8,000Pa vacuum cleaner, smart mapping technology, and advanced obstacle avoidance to help them navigate through even the most difficult of spaces. The ECOVACS model is also one of the only robots we tested that can remove its mop pads and vacuum carpet making it the ideal option for those who need to switch between vacuuming and mopping regularly.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, we recommend the iRobot Roomba Combo J7+, our budget choice. It features LIDAR navigation for a reasonable price and a decent debris collection performance. It's a bit slow to map out rooms and can be prone to hitting obstacles however, it's cheaper than our other top-rated selections.

5. Battery life

The best robot vacuums let you get on with your day while keeping your floors in top state. You'll still have to manually clean your home every so often, but robovacs will help you maintain a basic standard of cleanliness, and even keep your home clean when you're away.

Find a robovac equipped with a long-lasting battery to get the most of it. If you choose to use the most powerful power setting, a model should last two cleaning sessions. This is less than a full-sized vacuum cleaner, but it is enough to cover most homes. If you don't wish to wait while your robovac recharges you can opt for a model that automatically returns to the base station for charging.

If robot vacuums reviews are looking for a robovac that can do a bit of everything, think about an all-in-one model that can mop too. Eufy's X10 is the top model in this category, offers self-emptying and self-refilling for the dust bin as well as the water tank and the mop pad. It can be programmed to refill and wash mops as soon as they run out.

The clear winner in our tests is the Dyson V810, because of its impressive carpet and hard floor pickup, excellent hair pickup, tangle-free performance, and a near perfect auto empty score. However, it's not cheap and unless you live in a a small home with no pets it might be too pricey for some. The second-placed model, the Dreametech D10+, has the same performance, but costs about 25% less.
