Top Rated Robot Vacuums A robot vacuum can keep floors clean enough to reduce the frequency with which you need to manually vacuum. Select a vacuum that has good navigation, can clean stairs and corners, and that has large bins that only needs to be emptied periodically. There are also models that mop and charge on their own which can be important for people with pets or kids. The top performers in our tests also offer decent obstacle-avoiding capabilities. 1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO The i3+ EVO is similar 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 alternative for those who want a an automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but are willing to manually empty the robot's dustbin once it gets full. Both robots do well cleaning up surface debris from carpets and hard floors and they're excellent at maneuvering around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart maps of your home, which help the i3+ EVO to navigate and clean in a way that maximizes efficiency. The i3+ isn't able to have the same obstacle avoidance capabilities as the i7+ or other top-rated robots we have test. It may get stuck on power cords and socks and have trouble moving between surfaces, such as carpet and hardwood. iRobot suggests that you clear areas where the i3+ EVO will vacuum prior to when you use it, which includes clearing out any toys or clutter it might encounter. Also, keep the dustbin and filters free of dirt to prevent them from becoming clogged. When the i3+'s internal bin is filled or the battery is depleted it goes back to its docking station and automatically emptying its trash into the station's external dustbin, and then continues cleaning where it left off. Battery life is about an hour-and-a-half of continuous use. It takes about three hours to fully charge. 2. iRobot Roomba i7+ The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the most powerful model in the iRobot flagship line and has the most up-to-date features. auto vacuum cleaner -charging, self-navigating, and — the most important feature of all — it has a self-emptying dustbin that eliminates one of the primary sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum. The Roomba i7+ can keep up to 10 floor plans and their names with Imprint Smart Mapping, a system 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 jobs, and you can control your robot through the app or by voice. The i7+ is more efficient and more maneuverable in our tests compared to the eufy RoboVac G30. It also picked up large pet hair pieces from any surface including carpeting. The main advantage it has over the Eufy is its self-emptying garbage bin which eliminates the main sources of maintenance and reduces the cost of maintenance. We were also impressed by the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot on how to start, stop, or pause cleaning sessions as well as 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 communicate with the i7+ using voice commands, such as “Hey Alexa, vacuum the master bedroom.” The iRobot Home App also offers options for managing i7+ settings and evaluating the performance. 3. Dyson Cyclone V10 In a world of vacuums that are cordless and feel like minivans or buses, this small Dyson model is an automobile. It's powerful enough to replace a stand-up vacuum in most homes, but also small enough to fit on a bookcase or coffee table. The V10 is powered with a Lithium-ion battery with 7 cells of energy, which produces energy that lasts for 60 minutes. The advanced whole-machine filtering system is able to trap allergens and then releases cleaner air into your home. Its specialized head uses stiff nylon bristles that penetrate deep into carpets and collect large dust or crumbs. It comes with three suction modes to meet the task at hand. It is able to swiftly change from handheld to floor vacuum, and vice versa. The model also comes with docks that charge to 100% in 3.5 hours and offers an easy access to two attachments as well as a Wand clip. This is a huge improvement over earlier Dysons that require a long charge and are difficult to store. The V10's biggest drawback is its short run time. Its claims on the market that it can provide up to 60 minutes of run time are not true, as CR's testing shows. This is a typical battery-powered cordless vacuum's run time. It's enough time to clean the typical home but not enough to reach every area. (A second pass generally works). This doesn't mean that this model doesn't have its benefits: It's lighter and agile than older cordless Dysons and its vacuuming efficiency is superior on carpets with a low pile. 4. iRobot Roomba 694” The 694 is a basic robotic vacuum that's a great option for those who don't have lots of money to spend on the latest model of robot. It was able to remove all kinds of debris and sizes during our testing and often went over the same area multiple times to ensure an efficient clean. The flat front of the unit allows to get into corners and along the edges of walls which is a nice touch. Its navigation system is smart and uses iAdapt technology to stay clear of obstacles and guide you through your home. However, it lacks the ability to map that is found in more advanced models, like our top picks, i3+EVO and J7+ Series. It is prone to getting stuck on phone cords or low furniture and is often unable to supply power before returning to its original location. The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in most respects because it has fewer parts that need regular cleaning It also comes with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, incurs lower costs for recurring maintenance, has more advanced automation capabilities and is better at moving itself. It also has a larger dustbin and is charged faster. The eufy RoboVac X8 is superior to the Roomba 694 for most purposes, as it has a longer battery life, has the ability to alter its suction power mode manually and has physical boundary strips, and can be controlled by your smartphone's voice assistant. It is also more durable, has a stronger motor, and is more effective on low-pile and bare floors. 5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ Samsung is a household name in home electronics. It's not surprising, then, that they are one of the top makers of robot vacuums and mop. Jet Bot AI+ has an advanced onboard technology that allows to navigate and avoid obstacles. The app offers a variety of options to customize your robotic cleaner. This includes mopping levels, virtual barriers and behavior customizations docking frequency settings and more. The app is easy to navigate and use as are other Samsung devices. In our tests in our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors. It cleaned up 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It didn't do very well in avoiding taller items like cords or socks. This was disappointing. It's priced higher than other models we've tested, and this could be a deterrent for some buyers. The smart vacuum comes with an onboard camera that can be accessed via the app, and you can also create a live stream from the robot's cleaning station. This feature allows you to check in on pets or the kids if you're away from home. The filter and the dustbin can be washed for the quick and easy cleaning. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with self-emptying clean stations, which helps keep the robot's bin clear and optimizes suction power. 6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum Contrary to other robotic vacuums that are specifically designed for carpets and hard floors, Black and Decker robots are designed specifically for hard floors. They come with a wide cleaning path and a larger dustbin that holds twice as much debris than other models to keep the area clear for maximum runtime. They also include two side sweepers that can be used to clean around corners and edges. The POWERSERIES Extreme model also comes with AutoSense technology, which senses if it's picking up dirt or debris on the surface and then automatically adjusts the power level. It also includes a smart application that lets you view the virtual map and control functions and schedules. You can also monitor the status of the vacuum and then send it to the dock for charging with the touch of a single button. The app allows you to modify the LEDs on the top of the vacuum so that you can discern where it is focusing or if it's stuck. The app also makes it simple to steer the robot manually in the event of need. For instance, my living room rug has a darkly colored border that has a tendency to make it difficult for other robots I've tested. However the HRV 425BL continued to move across the border without registering it as an incline. The ability to program a weekly cleaning schedule for each week is a time-saving benefit.
