Top Rated Robot Vacuums A robot vacuum will keep the floors clean enough to cut down on the frequency with which you'll need to manually vacuum. Select a vacuum that has good navigation, has the ability to clean corners and stairs and also has a large bin that only needs to be emptying every so often. There are models that can mop and charge themselves, which is a feature that is essential for families with children or pets. A lot of the top performers in our tests have decent obstacle avoidance. 1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. That makes the i3+ a great option for those who want an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience but don't mind manually emptying their robot's dustbin as it gets full. Both robots are good at removing surface dirt on hard floors and carpets and are able to maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software makes a smart maps of your home to help the i3+ navigate and clean efficiently. However, unlike the i7+ and other top rated robots we test the i3+ does not have any obstacle-avoidance features and therefore it could get stuck on things such as socks or power cords and may have issues in navigating through transitions between surfaces, such as from hardwood to carpet. iRobot suggests that you clean up the area where the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes putting away any toys or other clutter it may encounter. Also, keep the dustbin and filters clear to avoid becoming clogged. When the i3+ EVO's internal bin is empty or the battery is not fully charged, it returns to the docking station and emptys the dirt into the docking station's dust bin. Then it continues cleaning where it began. The i3+ EVO's battery lasts for about an hour and a half of continuous use, and takes around three hours to fully recharge. 2. iRobot i7+ Roomba The iRobot i7+ is an excellent model from iRobot's flagship line and is packed with the most recent features. It has self-charging and self-navigating. However, the most significant feature is its auto-emptying bin. This removes the need for regular maintenance. The Roomba i7+ can keep up to 10 floor plans and their names using Imprint Smart Mapping, an application that allows it to create maps of rooms so that it can clean them more efficiently. It also works with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning tasks, and you can control your robot via the app or via voice. In our testing, the i7+ was more agile and faster than our second-placed model which was the eufy RoboVac G30, and it picked up large pieces of pet hair from all surfaces kinds including carpeting. Its main advantage over the eufy it self-empties its dust bin that eliminates a major source of maintenance and lowers the cost of maintenance. We were also awestruck by the i7+’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We used these services to instruct the robot on how to begin or stop cleaning sessions, as well as to move around the room and even vacuum a specific area. The process of connecting the i7+ to these services was easy and straightforward through the iRobot Home app. We were able, once connected, to speak commands to the i7+ such as “Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom.” The iRobot Home app also provides options for managing the i7+'s settings and monitoring its performance. 3. Dyson Cyclone V10 In a world full of vacuums with cords that feel like minivans or buses, this small Dyson model is a sports car. It's got the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for many households however, it can also fit perfectly next to the coffee table or shelves that you can spin around like a magic wand. The V10 is powered by a 7-cell energy-dense lithium-ion battery which produces continuous, non-fading power for 60 minutes. The sophisticated whole-machine filter system is able to trap allergens and then releases cleaner air into your home. Its specialized head uses stiff nylon bristles to penetrate into carpets and collect large crumbs or fine dust. It comes with three suction settings to meet the task being performed. It quickly converts from floor vac to handheld vacuum and back. This model has a dock that can charge the Dyson to 100% within 3.5 hours. It also offers an easy access to two attachments as well as a handheld. This is a big improvement over older Dysons models, which require a lengthy charge and are a pain to store. The main drawback of the V10 is its limited running time. As CR's tests show, its marketing claims of up to 60 minutes are not true. This is a typical not an extraordinary time for an electric cordless vacuum powered by batteries. It's still enough time to vacuum the majority of an average-sized house however, it's not enough to get every single spot (though a second run-through usually can be effective). This model has its own advantages however: it's lighter and more mobile than previous Dysons cordless models and its ability to vacuum is noticeably superior for carpet floors with low pile. 4. iRobot Roomba 694 The 694 is a basic robot vacuum that's a great option for those who don't have a lot of money to spend on the latest model of robot. It's capable of sucking up most kinds of debris in our tests, and it often goes over the same areas many times to give a thorough clean. Its flat front design allows it to reach the corners and edges of walls. good robot vacuum is smart and uses iAdapt technology to avoid obstacles and navigate your home. However, it lacks the capabilities for mapping of more advanced models, such as our top picks, the i3+EVO and the j7+ Series. It can get stuck on phone cords or low furniture and is often unable to supply power before returning to its original location. The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694 in that it has fewer parts that require regular cleaning, is outfitted with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtering system, incurs lower costs for recurring expenses, has more advanced automation capabilities and is able to better maneuver itself. It also has a larger dustbin and can charge faster. The sleek RoboVac X8 has a superior battery longevity than the Roomba 694. It also has physical boundaries and can be controlled using the voice assistant on your smartphone. It is also more durable and has a more powerful motor, and is able to perform better on both bare floors and carpets with a low pile, as well as providing a wider array of automation options. 5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ Samsung is a household name in the field of home electronics. It's not a surprise that they are also among the top manufacturers of robot vacuums and mop. Jet Bot AI+ has an advanced onboard technology that allows to navigate and avoid obstacles. The app gives you plenty of options to personalize your robotic cleaner, such as virtual barriers mopping water levels, behavior modification, docking frequency settings, and more. The app is simple to learn and use similar to other Samsung devices. In our tests in our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors. It removed 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It was not as successful in avoiding taller objects like socks or cords. This was disappointing. It's also more expensive than some of the other models we've tested which could be a deal-breaker for certain shoppers. The app allows you to access the onboard camera of the smart vacuum. You can also create live streaming from the robot's cleaning zone. This feature allows you to monitor your children or pets when you're away. The dustbin and the filter can be cleaned to ensure a quick, painless clean-up. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with a self-emptying clean station, which helps keep the bin clean and maximizes suction power. 6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum Black and Decker robots have been designed specifically for hard flooring. They have an extra-wide cleaning path and a dustbin that is 2X bigger than the competitors. This lets them clean the area for a longer period of time. They also come with two side sweepers for cleaning along edges and corners. The POWERSERIES Extreme model also comes with AutoSense technology, which senses the presence of surface litter or embedded dirt and then automatically adjusts its power level. The vacuum also has an app that lets you to view an interactive map, control functions, and set 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 lets you alter the LED lights on the top of the vacuum to determine where it is focused or if it has gotten stuck. The app makes it possible to steer the robot manually in the event of need. For instance, my living room rug has a darkly-colored border that can cause confusion for other robots I've tried. However the HRV 425BL kept moving across the border, without registering it as an incline. The ability to create a weekly cleaning schedule is a wonderful time-saving benefit.
