10 Best Mobile Apps For Robot Vac
Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum will keep your floors tidy enough to decrease the frequency of hoovering manually. Find one that has excellent navigation, is able to clean stairs and corners, and has a large dust bin that requires emptying only every few times.

There are models that mop and charge themselves, which is a feature important for families with children or pets. Many of the best performers in our tests have great obstacles to avoid.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling, the i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. This makes the i3+ a great option for those looking for an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience but don't mind having to empty their dust bin manually as it gets full.

Both robots do well picking up surface debris off hard floors and carpets, and they're very adept in getting around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart maps of your home, which help the i3+ EVO navigate and clean in a manner that maximizes efficiency. However, unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots that we tested the i3+ doesn't have a feature for avoiding obstacles, so it may get stuck on things such as socks or power cords, and it may have trouble in navigating through transitions between surfaces, such as from hardwood to carpet.

iRobot suggests cleaning the area in which the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or other items it might come across. It's also recommended to keep the dust bin and filter clean so they do not become blocked by dirt. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is depleted, it returns to the docking station and emptys the dirt into the docking station's dust bin. Then it continues cleaning from where it began. The battery's lifespan is around an hour-and-a-half of continuous usage. It takes 3 hours to charge.

2. IRobot Roomba i7+

The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the top model in iRobot's flagship line, and it has the most up-to-date features. smart robot is self-charging and self-navigating. However, the most significant feature is its self-emptying bin. This eliminates the need for regular maintenance.

The Roomba I7+ can better map rooms with Imprint Smart Mapping. It also integrates with the iRobot Home app to let you schedule cleaning tasks and direct your robot by voice or through the app.

The i7+ is more efficient and more agile in our tests than the eufy RoboVac G30. It also picked up large pet hair pieces from any surface, including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy, though it self-empties its dust bin that eliminates a major cause of maintenance and reduces the cost of maintenance.

We were also awestruck by the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services which we used to instruct the robot to start, stop or pause its cleaning routines and to move around the room and vacuum a specific space. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ with these services. After being connected, to voice commands to the i7+ like "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options to manage i7+ settings and monitoring performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

In a world of cordless vacs that feel like minivans or buses, this small Dyson model feels like an automobile. It's powerful enough to replace a traditional stand-up vacuum in most homes, but it is also compact enough to fit on a coffee table or bookcase.

The V10 is powered by seven cells of energy-dense Lithium-ion batteries, which produces power that is not fading for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filtration system captures allergens and expels cleaner air back into your home. The cleaning head is specially designed to drive bristles made of nylon that are stiff into carpets to trap large particles and fine dust. It has three different suction modes that can be adjusted to the task. It quickly converts from handheld to floor vacuum and back again.


The model comes with an attached dock that charges the Dyson to 100 percent in 3.5 hours. It also offers easy access to 2 attachments and an handheld. This is a big improvement over the older Dysons models, which require a lengthy charge and are difficult to store.

The main drawback of the V10 is its short running time. As CR's tests show, its advertising claims of up to 60 minutes are not true. This is a common battery-powered cordless vacuum's run time. That's still enough run time to clean most of a typical-sized home, but not quite long enough to clean every spot (though a second run-through usually will suffice). This model has its own advantages however: it's lighter and more maneuverable than older Dysons cordless models, and its vacuuming ability is significantly better on low-pile floor carpet.

4. iRobot Roomba 694

The 694 is a standard robot vacuum that's a great option for those who don't have a lot of money to spend on a robot. It's capable of sucking up most debris types and sizes during our tests, and often goes over the same areas multiple times to get a really thorough clean. Its flat front makes it possible to reach the corners and edges of walls.

Its intelligent navigation system makes use of iAdapt technology to steer clear of obstacles and guide you through your home. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map that is found in more advanced models, including our top picks, the i3+EVO and j7+ Series. Because of this, it may get stuck on things like phone cords and low furniture, and it frequently is power-depleted before making it back to its base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694, as it has fewer parts that require regular cleaning, is equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtration system, incurs lower cost of recurring costs and has more advanced automation capabilities and is better able to navigate its own. It also has a bigger dustbin, and charges more quickly.

The sleek RoboVac X8 has a superior battery life than the Roomba 694. It also comes with physical boundaries strips that can be controlled using the voice assistant on your smartphone. It's also more robust, has a more powerful motor, and performs better on floors with bare or low-pile.

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a name you see on all sorts of home electronics, so it comes as no surprise that they're one of the top robot vacuum and mop manufacturers. Jet Bot AI+ has the most advanced onboard technology to navigate and avoid obstacles.

The app offers a variety of options for customizing your robotic cleaner. These include mopping levels, virtual barriers and behavior modifications docking frequency settings and more. The app is easy to use and understand similar to other Samsung devices.

In our testing our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors, and also handled dog hair (on carpet) quite well, cleaning up 86 percent of it. However, it wasn't particularly well at avoiding higher-up objects like cords or socks which was a disappointment. It's priced higher than other models we've tested and this could be a deterrent for certain shoppers.

The smart vacuum has an onboard camera that is accessible through the app, and you can also set up a live stream from the robot's cleaning station. This feature allows you to keep track of your pets or children when you're away from home. The filter and the dust bin can be cleaned for quick, painless cleanup. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with an automatic clean station which helps keep the robot's bin clear and maximizes suction power.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

In contrast to other robotic vacuums which are designed for both carpets and hard floors, Black and Decker robots are specifically designed for hard floors. They have an extra-wide cleaning path, as well as a dustbin that is 2X bigger than the competitors. This lets them clean the area for longer. Plus, they include two side sweepers that clean up around edges and in corners. The POWERSERIES model includes AutoSense which adjusts the power level depending on whether it's collecting surface dirt or embedded dirt. It also comes with a smart app that lets you browse the virtual map and manage the functions and schedules. You can also check the status of the vacuum and connect it to the dock for charging with the touch of a single button. The app also lets you to personalize the LED lights on the top of the vacuum with different colors, so you can easily identify what areas it's focusing on or where it's stuck.

The app makes it possible to steer the robot manually in the event of need. My living room rug for instance is darkly colored that can trip up some other robots. However the HRV 425BL kept moving across the border, but it didn't register it as a cliff. Also, the ability to program weekly cleaning schedules is a wonderful time-saving benefit.
