How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums can help you save time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The top models do a great job of removing dust and lightweight debris and many allow you to create no-go zones for pet areas or power cords.

The most expensive models will even sweep your floor, but they can't climb stairs. Make sure you choose models with intelligent mapping, real-time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The best robots that we tested are efficient and easy to use and able to cope with everyday debris. You'll need a robot that has decent carpet-picking capability and the capability to climb stairs. And, if you're looking to add more features, you may be interested in a model that uses smart mapping technology, or an application that allows you to control the robot remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tried numerous robotic vacuums. She's a big fan of robotic vacuums that offer the greatest convenience, including self-emptying dustbins and charging docks that automatically empty and fill water tanks for mopping robots. She also likes robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so that they don't fall when climbing stairs.

Compared with the top robot vacuum-rated models this Black and Decker robot vacuum isn't as advanced in its object-avoidance capabilities and its score for navigation is lower. It does however have an enormous dust bin that doesn't need frequent emptying and a long battery life. It also comes with an option that allows you to schedule cleaning times and then return to the place it stopped last, making it easier to clean larger homes. This model is a good choice for pet owners because it will prevent tangled fur and food particles.

In our tests, we found 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 detect objects and detect edges. The combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid and furniture legs easily and save up to four floor maps for future use. It is able to stop and restart cleaning at any point, so that you can continue with your chores while it works. The included app offers a 3D representation of your home, room labels, and advanced cleaning options.

This robot is not as efficient in cleaning like our top models, however it is great at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws and fine particles such as sand. The only downside is that it's not able to mop, and has a less efficient navigation system.

The best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, pick an automatic vacuum that scores high for rug and carpet ability to maneuver and pick up. A lot of models do a great job of picking up dust that has been embedded in carpets with a low pile and some do a decent job at picking up heavier debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. They don't pick-up fine particles like an upright or canister, and may miss dirt that is close to thresholds or baseboards.

The best choice for most carpeted homes is a two-in-one robot vacuum/mop. It allows you to swap out an empty bin for cleaning and a damp mopping pad. The Roborock Q Revo, for example, is a vacuum cleaner and wet mop with circular pads that spin at a speed of 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts the pads when it encounters carpet to avoid wetting the floor. You don't have to take them off or replace them after every use. 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 avoiding obstacles.

Another option that is worth considering is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which was a great performer in our tests and can be scheduled through the app to clean when you're away from home. It can be set up to mop only. We liked its navigation on floors with no flooring as well as rug. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path-planning for an item of this size.

If you're looking for a more advanced model, look into the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It has a large dock that can last for weeks without needing to be emptied. It also has impressive capability to auto-empty carpets and bare floors. It also has a clever mapping system and can be set to run only during specific hours (a useful feature to stop pets and children who are prone to mischief from running wild). The Shark has less powerful suction than some other robot vacuum cleaners vacuum/mop combos however it's still good at picking up hair and pet hair and is the best value of our top choices.

Best for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are best for hardwood floors, as they can maneuver around obstacles without causing damage to floors that aren't. They are excellent at picking up dust and crumbs but struggle with pet hair or other debris. They lack the suction of an upright or a top-quality canister vacuum, which makes them unsuitable for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas.

The best self cleaning robot vacuum robots are two-in-one, which combine a vacuum with a mop to complete the task in one move. If you have floors that are mixed, look for models with an onboard sensor which detects changes in the floor's texture and adjusts suction accordingly. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+ for example, has this feature and can move seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.

If you have a lot of hardwood floors in your home, you may want to consider a robotic mop and vacuum combo like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model features a powerful robot vacuum with intelligent navigation to clean hardwood and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it can mop too. Its sensors allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.

The Eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors by applying downward pressure, instead of simply swab them in order to remove dust and dirt. Its reusable mop pads reduce waste, reduce the spread of germs, and can be cleaned in the docking station to save you time. The mops can also be cleaned and dried to avoid spreading mold.

The robovac is controlled by your smartphone, making it easier to use. For instance, you can, use the app to create zones that the vacuum won't enter, label different rooms, or plan specific cleaning times. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris through a trapdoor, and stores it in a bag-less 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

As the name implies, these robots are best suited for small spaces. They have smaller bins that can hold less garbage, and are more efficient than the larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also be placed under furniture that larger robots have difficulty reaching. They are usually less expensive than the pricier picks, too, although you'll need to empty their dirt compartments at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years back, robot vacuums went through significant changes. Manufacturers started adding sensors that allowed them to avoid household items that their conventional sensors might be stuck on or across. This improved the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robot accident.

The new sensors haven't eliminated all the problems with these machines, however. The lower-end models are unable to navigate the same obstacles as older models, and they require an adequate amount of light to be able to see where they are moving. Look into an option that incorporates a spinning LIDAR device mounted on top to create maps of the area. Our top overall model and the runners-up have this feature. This lets them work in darkness and avoid obstacles like stairs.

They can also be programmed to only utilize their cliff sensors when they are near or on the ground, and not when they are above it. It is still recommended to shield any mirrors that could hinder this function, however, since the lasers used by a LIDAR-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it is in another room.

Some of the models that we recommend will allow you to create virtual no-go zones for areas that you don't want the robot to enter. This is helpful when you have pets or children who are small. These features aren't present on all models we test. Read our full reviews before deciding.
