Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum can keep your floors clean enough to decrease the frequency of manual hoovering. Select a vacuum that is well-trained in navigation, is able to clean stairs and corners and also has an enormous bin that will need to be emptying every so often.

There are models that clean and charge themselves, a feature that may be beneficial for those with pets or kids. The top performers in our tests have good obstacle avoidance.

1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO is identical to its sibling, the i3 EVO. They differ only in the fact that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. The i3+ is a great option for those who want an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but want to manually empty the robot's dustbin when it is full.

Both robots are adept at removing surface dirt on carpets and hard floors and are able to maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart maps of your home, which help the i3+ EVO navigate and clean in a way that maximizes efficiency. The i3+ does not feature obstacle avoidance features like the i7+ or other top-rated robots we tested. It could be stuck on power cords or socks and have difficulty navigating between different surfaces, like hardwood and rug.

iRobot suggests that you clean the area around the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or other clutter it may encounter. It's also recommended to keep the dustbin and filter clear so they do not become blocked by dirt. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is not fully charged, it returns to the docking station and empties the dirt into the station's dust bin. It then continues cleaning from where it started. The i3+ EVO's batteries last for about an hour and a half of continuous use. It takes about three hours to recharge.

2. IRobot Roomba i7+

The iRobot i7+ is a top model from iRobot’s flagship line and is packed with the most recent features. It is self-charging and self-navigating. However, the most important feature is its self-emptying bin. This removes 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 control your robot with voice or through the app.

The i7+ is more efficient and more agile in our tests than the eufy RoboVac G30. It also cleaned large pet hair pieces from all surfaces, including carpeting. Its greatest advantage over the Eufy is its self-emptying garbage bin that eliminates the main sources of maintenance and reduces the cost of maintenance.

We were also impressed with the i7+'s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot on how to start or stop cleaning sessions and also to move around the room and even vacuum a specific area. The iRobot best home vacuum cleaner App made it easy to connect the i7+ with these services. When connected to these services, we were able communicate with the i7+ using voice commands like "Hey Alexa, vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home app also provides options to manage the i7+'s preferences and monitoring its performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

This tiny Dyson model is a sports car in a sea of cordless vacuums that feel like minivans and buses. It's got the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for many households and can fit perfectly next to a coffee table or on shelves that you can spin around like an enchanted tool.

The V10 is powered by a 7-cell energy-dense Lithium-ion battery that produces power that is not fading for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filtration system removes allergens, and then releases cleaner air back into your home. The specialized head uses rigid nylon bristles to drive deep into carpets and pick up large particles or fine dust. It comes with three suction modes to meet the task at hand. It quickly switches from handheld vacuum to floor vacuum and back.

The model also comes with a dock that charges to 100% in about 3.5 hours and offers easy access to two attachments and an clip for a wand. This is a major improvement over previous Dysons that require a lengthy charge and are difficult to store.

The V10's biggest drawback is its short run time. As CR's tests have shown, its claims to run up to 60 minutes are not true. This is a typical, not an exceptional, run time for an electric cordless vacuum powered by batteries. This is enough time to clean the typical home but not enough to get into every corner. (A second pass usually works). This model has its own advantages however: it's light and more maneuverable than earlier Dysons cordless models and its ability to vacuum is significantly better on carpets with low pile.

4. iRobot Roomba 694

The 694 is a basic robot vacuum that's an excellent choice for those who don't have a lot of money to spend on a robot. It's capable of sucking up all kinds of debris in our testing, and it often passes over the same areas many times to get a really thorough clean. Its flat front design allows it to reach corners and the edges of walls.

Its navigation system is smart and uses iAdapt to avoid obstacles and navigate your home, but it's not equipped with the mapping capability of more sophisticated models such as our top choices such as the i3+ EVO and the j7+ series. It may get stuck on phone cords or low furniture and often runs out of power before returning to its home base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in all aspects, as it has fewer components that require regular cleaning and is equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, has lower recurring costs, comes with more advanced automation capabilities and does a better job moving itself. It also has a bigger dustbin, and charges more quickly.

The sleek RoboVac X8 has a superior battery life than the Roomba. It also comes with physical boundaries strips and can be controlled using your smartphone's voice assistant. It also feels better-built and has a more powerful motor, and performs notably better on bare floors and carpets with a low pile, as well as providing a greater variety of automation options.

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a well-known brand in the field of home electronics. It's not a surprise that they are also among the top producers of robot vacuum near me vacuums and mop. Jet Bot AI+ has the most advanced onboard technology for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

The app offers a variety of options to personalize your robotic cleaner, such as virtual barriers, mopping water levels and behavior adjustments, docking frequency settings, and much more. It's easy to understand and is user-friendly, which is the case with other Samsung devices.

In our testing, the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors and handled dog hair (on carpet) quite well, clearing up 86% of it. It did not do well in avoiding taller objects like socks or cords. This was disappointing. It's also a little more expensive than some of the other models we've tested and could be a deterrent for certain shoppers.

The smart vacuum comes with an onboard camera that is accessible via the app. You can also set up a live streaming from the robot's cleaning station. This feature allows you to monitor your children or pets when you're away. The filter and the dustbin can be cleaned to ensure the quick and easy cleaning. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with self-emptying clean stations, which helps to keep the robot Vacuum cleaner ebay's bin clear and optimizes suction power.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

Black and Decker robots have been developed specifically for hard flooring. They feature an extra-wide cleaning path and an extra-large dustbin that holds 2X more debris than competitors to keep the area free of debris for the longest period of time. In addition, they have two side sweepers that clean along edges and in corners. The POWERSERIES Extreme model also comes with AutoSense technology, which can tell the presence of surface litter or embedded dirt and automatically adjusts the power level. The vacuum also comes with an app that allows users to see a virtual map, control functions, and create schedules. You can also monitor the battery's status and send it back to its dock for charging by pressing the button. The app allows you to personalize the lights on top of the vacuum with different colors so you can easily tell what areas it's focusing on or where it's stuck.

The app makes it possible to manually steer the robot, if necessary. My living room rug, for instance, has a darkly-colored border that can trip up some other robots. However the HRV 425BL continued to move across the border, without registering it as an incline. And the ability to set up the weekly cleaning schedule is a wonderful time-saving benefit.
