Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum can keep your floors clean enough to reduce the frequency of manual hoovering. Choose one that has excellent navigation, is able to clean stairs and corners and has a huge dust bin that requires emptying only every few times.

There are also models that mop and charge themselves, a feature that may be beneficial for those with pets or kids. A majority of the top performers in our tests have good obstacle avoidance.

1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO is identical to its sibling i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. This makes the i3+ an excellent option for those who want an automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but aren't afraid of taking the time to empty their robot's trash bin when it fills up.

Both robots are good at picking up surface dirt on floors and carpets and can navigate around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates a smart map of your home to assist the i3+ to navigate and clean efficiently. The i3+ doesn't feature obstacle avoidance features like the i7+ or any other top-rated robots we have test. It could be stuck on power cords and socks and have trouble moving between different surfaces like carpet and hardwood.

iRobot recommends that you tidy up the area where the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes putting away any toys or other clutter it might encounter. It's also an excellent idea to keep the dustbin and filter clean so that they don't become clogged with dirt. When the i3+'s internal bin is full or the battery is low it goes back to its docking station, automatically emptying its debris into the station's dust bin, and then continues cleaning the area where it left off. The i3+ EVO's batteries last for about an hour and a half of continuous use, and it takes around three hours to recharge.

2. iRobot Roomba i7+

The iRobot i7+ is an excellent model from iRobot's flagship line and is packed with the latest features. It's self-charging, self-navigating and -- the most important feature of all -- it comes with self-emptying bins that eliminate one of the main sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.

The Roomba I7+ is able to better map rooms with Imprint Smart Mapping. It also integrates with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning jobs, and you can control your robot via the app or voice.

The i7+ is quicker and more maneuverable in our tests compared to the eufy RoboVac G30. It also removed large pet hair pieces from all surfaces including carpeting. The biggest benefit over the eufy it self-empties its dust bin which eliminates a major cause of maintenance and cuts down on recurring costs.

We were also impressed with the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot hoover on how to start or stop cleaning sessions, as well as to move around the room, and vacuum a particular area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ with these services. When connected we were able to give the i7+ voice commands like "Hey Alexa, vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options for managing i7+ settings and monitoring the performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

This tiny Dyson model is an athletic car in a sea of vacuums powered by cordless that resemble minivans and buses. It's got the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for many households however, it can also fit in well next to a coffee table or on the bookshelf, where you can move it around like an enchanted wand.

The V10 is powered by a seven-cell, high-energy lithium-ion battery that can provide energy that is not faded for 60 minutes. Its sophisticated whole-machine filtration system traps allergens and releases cleaner air back into your home. The specialized head uses rigid nylon bristles to penetrate into carpets and pick up large particles or fine dust. It has three suction modes to meet the task being performed. It quickly switches from handheld to floor vacuum, and then back to floor.

This model also has a dock that charges to 100% in about 3.5 hours and provides an easy access to two attachments as well as a clip for a wand. This is a huge improvement over previous Dysons which require a long charge and are difficult to store.

The main drawback of the V10 is its limited run time. As CR's tests have shown, its marketing claims of up to 60 minutes are a bit misleading. This is an average, not an exceptional, time for an electric cordless vacuum powered by batteries. It's enough time to vacuum the average-sized home but not enough to get into every corner. (A second run generally works). This model has its own advantages however: it's light and more maneuverable than earlier Dysons cordless models, and its vacuuming ability is noticeable superior on low-pile floor robot carpet.

4. iRobot Roomba 694

One of iRobot's most adored robot vacuums, the 694 is an entry-level model that's an excellent option for those who don't wish to spend too much on a robotic. It was able to pick up the majority of types of debris and sizes in our testing and often went over the same area multiple times to give a thorough clean. The flat front of the unit allows it reach into corners and along the edges of walls, which is a nice touch.

Its smart navigation system uses iAdapt to stay clear of obstacles and navigate your home, but it lacks the ability to map that comes with more advanced models like our top choices such as the i3+ EVO and j7+ series. It may get stuck on phone cords or furniture and often runs out of power before returning to its home base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694, as it has fewer parts that require regular cleaning, is outfitted with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtering system, has a lower recurring cost, is more sophisticated in its automation capabilities and can better maneuver itself. It also has a larger dustbin and can charge faster.

The eufy RoboVac X8 is superior to the Roomba 694 for most purposes, because it has a longer battery life, can change its suction power mode manually, comes with physical boundary strips, and is controlled by your smartphone's voice assistant. It's also more robust, has a more powerful motor, and performs better on floors with low pile and bare.

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a household name in home electronics. It's not a surprise that they are also among the top manufacturers of best Inexpensive robot vacuum vacuums and mop. Jet Bot AI+ has the most advanced onboard technology for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

The app provides plenty of options to customize your robotic floor vacuums cleaner, including virtual barriers, mopping water levels and behavior customization docking frequency settings and more. The app is easy to navigate and use, just like other Samsung devices.

In our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors, and it removed 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It didn't do very well in avoiding taller items such as cords or socks. This was disappointing. It's also a bit more expensive than some of the other models we tested and could be a deterrent for some shoppers.

The smart vacuum has an onboard camera that is accessible through the app. You can also set up a live stream from the robot hoover's cleaning station. This feature lets you to monitor your children or pets when you are away. The dustbin and filter are washable for quick, easy cleanup. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with a self-emptying clean station, which helps keep the robot's bin clear and maximizes suction power.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

Unlike other robotic vacuums, that are specifically designed for hard floors and carpets, Black and Decker robots are specifically designed for hard floors. They feature an extra-wide cleaning path as well as a large dustbin that holds twice as much debris than competitors to keep the area clean for the longest time. They also come with two side sweepers that can be used to clean along edges and corners. The POWERSERIES model includes AutoSense, which automatically adjusts the power level depending on whether it's collecting surface dirt or embedded dirt. The vacuum also comes with an app that allows users to see the virtual map, manage functions, and set schedules. Plus, you can monitor the status of the vacuum's battery and send it back to its dock for charging by pressing a button. The app allows you to customize the LED lights on the top of the vacuum to discern where it is focusing or if it's stuck.

The application also allows you to manually steer the robot in the event of need. My living room cleaning robot rug for example, has a darkly-colored border which could cause a problem for other robots. However the HRV 425BL continued to move across the border, without registering it as an incline. And the ability to program weekly cleaning schedules is a fantastic time-saving feature.
