How to Choose the best automatic vacuum Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum will help you save time and effort when it comes to regular touch-ups. Top performers are good at picking up dust as well as light debris and cords.

The ones that are more expensive can even sweep your floors but they aren't able to climb up stairs. Find models with smart mapping, real time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots we've tested that we have tested are effective and user-friendly, and able to keep up with the everyday messes. You'll also want a robot that can take on stairs and has adequate cleaning power for carpets. If you want a robot with additional features, think about one that comes with smart mapping technology or an app to remote control vacuum cleaner it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tested many robotic vacuums. She's a fan of the robot vacuums that provide the greatest convenience, such as self-emptying bins and charging docks that automatically empty and refill water tanks for mopping robots. She's also a big fan of robots that detect landmarks such as furniture legs and power cords, so they don't trip when climbing stairs.

This Black and Decker robot has a lower navigation score and less object-avoidance tech than the best-rated models. It comes with a large non-refillable dustbin as well as a long battery. It also has an option that allows you to schedule cleaning times and return to where it was last. This makes it easier to take care of larger homes. This model is also a good option for pet owners since it is able to identify and avoid tangled hair and fallen food particles.

In our tests, we observed that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined a LIDAR (light) sensor which can identify rooms and obstacles with a structured-light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. This combination lets it avoid stairs, droplets of liquid, and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps to be used in the future for use. It can pause and resume cleaning at any time, so you can continue to do chores while it works. The app comes with an interactive 3D model of your home, room labels, and advanced cleaning options.

Although this model isn't able to clean as well as our top-highest rated robot vacuum models but it excels in removing small particles like sand and baking soda, as well as heavier items like orzo pasta and metal screws. The only downside is that it isn't able to mop and has a slightly less effective navigation system.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, you should look for a vacuum that has excellent pickup and good maneuverability scores on carpet and rug. A lot of models are adept at picking up dust in low-pile rugs. Some are capable of picking up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and screws made of metal. They can't take in small particles like an upright or canister, and could be unable to pick up dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.

For homes with carpets the 2-in-1 robot vacuum is the best choice. You can exchange a cleaning bin for a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that can clean and mop simultaneously with circular pads spinning at 200 rpm. It detects and lifts its pads when they come into contact with carpets, preventing the flooring from becoming wet. You don't have to take them off or replace them every time. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuums and mops in keeping away from obstacles, getting close to rugs and thresholds, and staying clear of obstacles.

Another solid option is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which was a great performer in our tests and can be scheduled using the app to clean your home when you're away from home. It can also be set to mop only, and we liked its excellent navigation on bare floors and rugs, as well as its ability to climb over and up onto furniture. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path-planning for the size of the device.

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line vacuum, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 robot cleaner commercial Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic option. It comes with a huge dock that can last for weeks without having to be empty. It also has amazing ability to navigate and auto-empty on carpets and bare floors. It also has a smart-mapping system and can be programmed to operate during certain hours of the day (a useful feature that can keep children and pets who are prone to mischief from running it amuck). The Shark isn't as powerful than some other robot vacuums and mops but it's good at picking up hair and pet hair and is the most affordable of our top choices.

Best for Hard Flooring

Robot vacuums are best for floors with hardwood floors because they can navigate around obstacles easily without damaging the surfaces that are not. They are capable of picking up dust and crumbs, but they aren't able to handle pet hair and other large debris. They don't have the suction of the top canister or upright vacuum, making them a poor choice for deep cleaning upholstery or carpeted areas.

The most effective robots are those that are two-in-one, which combine mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one go. Find one that has an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor's texture and adjust suction to match. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+, for instance, has this feature and can transition seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.

If you have lots of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to consider a robot mop and vacuum combination like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model has a powerful robotic vacuum equipped with smart navigation that can clean hardwood floors and other surfaces. It can also mop. The sensors in it allow it to stay clear of hazards like stairs.

When it comes to mops, the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually clean hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than just wipe them clean to get rid of light dirt and dust. Its reusable mop pads reduce the amount of waste, and make it less likely to spread germs and can be cleaned in the docking station, saving your time. The mops can also be washed, dried and reused.

Both the robovac and the mop can be controlled from your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. For instance, you can use the app to create a zone that the vacuum cannot enter, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning sessions for certain areas. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris through trapdoors, and then stores it in a bagless or disposable bin. This means that you won't have to empty the bin manually as often as other models.

Best for Small Spaces

These robots are designed for small spaces. They have smaller bins that contain less waste, and they're more efficient than larger models when it comes to maneuvering tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, where bigger robots struggle to reach. They are also less expensive than higher-end models, but you'll have to empty their dirt bins manually at the end each cleaning session.

A couple of years ago, robotic vacuum cleaners vacuums underwent a major transformation when manufacturers started adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would get stuck on or run over. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic accident.

The new sensors haven't eliminated all the problems that these devices have, however. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same issues that the older models faced and, in addition, they need a certain amount of light to see where they're going. You should consider a model that uses an LIDAR spinning unit that is placed on top of the model to create maps of the area. Our top models and runners-up models have this feature. This lets them avoid stairs and other barriers while working in the dark.

In addition to being capable of working in the dark, these models can be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when they're near or on the floor, not when they're above them. It's essential to cover mirrors in order to stop this from occurring. The lasers used by the LIDAR-based models may bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to believe it's in a different room.

A few of the models we recommend also let you set up virtual no-go zones for areas where you do not want the robot go, which can be beneficial if you have small children or pets. These features aren't present on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before deciding.
