How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot vacuum can save you a lot of time and effort in the case of regular touch-ups. The best models do a great job at removing dust and light debris and many allow you to set no-go zones for pet areas or power cords.

The more expensive models even clean your floors, but they can't climb the stairs. Look for models that have intelligent mapping, real-time hazard avoidance and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots in our testing are efficient and easy to use and able to cope with everyday debris. You'll also need a robot that can handle stairs and has adequate ability to pick up carpets. If you're looking to add more features, you might be interested in a robot with smart mapping technology or an app that lets you control the robot remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing reviewer and writer for shopping at PEOPLE who has tried many robotic vacuums. She prefers robovacs that have the most features like those that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and refill the water tanks used to mop robotic vacuums. She's also a big fan of robots that recognize landmarks like furniture legs and power cords to ensure they don't get tripped up when climbing the stairs.

This Black and Decker robot has a lower score on navigation and less object-avoidance tech than the most popular models. It comes with a large, non-refillable dustbin and a long battery. It also has the ability to schedule cleaning times and return to where it stopped at the last point, making it easier to take care of larger spaces. This model is a good choice for pet owners because it will prevent tangled fur and food particles.

In our tests in our tests, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines a LIDAR sensor that maps rooms and see obstacles with a structured light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. The combination lets it avoid steps, drops of liquid, and furniture legs with ease and save up to four floor maps to be used in the future for use. It can also stop the cleaning process at any time and resume where it left off so that you can complete chores while the Robot Vac does its work. The included app provides a 3D representation of your home, room labels, and advanced cleaning options.

While this robot can't clean as well as our top-rated models, it excels in removing fine debris like baking soda and sand, as well as heavier items like orzo pasta and screws made of metal. Its only drawbacks are that it's not able to mop, and has a less effective navigation system.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, pick one that scores high for rug and carpet maneuverability and pickup. A lot of models do a great job of removing dust that has been embedded in carpets with a low pile and a few do a decent job at sweeping up heavier debris like orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair. However, they aren't able to pick up small particles like an upright or canister vacuum, and they may not pick up dirt that is ground-in close to baseboards and thresholds.

For most carpeted homes the 2-in-1 self-cleaning robot vacuums vacuum is the best home vacuum cleaner choice. You can exchange an empty bin for a damp mopping mat. The Roborock Q Revo is a 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop that is able to clean and mop at the same time with circular pads spinning at 200 rpm. It detects and raises the pads when it is in contact with carpet to prevent wetting the floor, and you don't have to take them off or replace them after every use. The Q Revo is also superior to other robot vacuums/mops in avoiding 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 while you're away from home. It can be set up to mop only. We were impressed by its ability to navigate on bare floors as well as rugs. The Combo i5 has a long runtime and excellent path planning for a device of this size.

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line vacuum, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic option. It has a large charging dock that can go weeks without needing to be emptying and has amazing navigation capabilities and auto-emptying on both carpets and floors. It also has a smart mapping system and can be set to only run for certain times (a beneficial feature to keep pets and children who are prone to mischief from running amok). The Shark isn't as powerful as other robot vacuum/mop combinations however it does pick up pet hair and hair extremely well. It's also the highest price of our top picks.

Best for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are the best automatic floor cleaner choice for floors with hardwood floors because they can maneuver around obstacles easily without damaging floors that aren't. They are capable of picking up dust and crumbs, however they aren't able to handle pet hair and larger debris. They also lack the suction power of a high-end upright or canister vacuum, meaning they're not an ideal option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that needs deep cleaning.

The best two-in-one robots combine mopping and vacuum and take care of the entire chore in one pass. Look for models that have an onboard sensor that detects any changes in the flooring and adjust suction to match. This feature is available on the ECOVACS Deebot T9+ and lets it effortlessly switch from hard carpeting to soft carpeting.

If you have a lot of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to think about a robot mop and vacuum combination 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 as well. Its sensors help it avoid the stairs and other hazards, so you don't have to worry about the robot falling down the stairs and breaking your hardwood.

When it comes to mops, the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors with downward pressure rather than wipe them clean to get rid of light dirt and dust. Its pads that can be reused reduce waste and spread less germs. They can also be cleaned at the docking stations to save time. The mop pads can also be cleaned and dried to prevent the spread of mold.

Both the robovac as well as the mop can be controlled from your smartphone, making it easier to manage the device. You can, for instance utilize the app to create no-go zones that the vacuum will not enter, or to label rooms, or schedule specific cleaning times. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects the debris via trapdoors and then puts it in a bagless or disposable bin. This means that you don't need to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.

Best for Small Spaces

These robots are designed for small spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less debris, and they're more efficient than the larger models in navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, whereas larger robots struggle to get in. They are generally less expensive than the higher-end models as well, but you'll have to empty their dirt compartments at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years ago robot vacuums underwent significant changes. Manufacturers began to add sensors that helped them navigate around and avoid household items that conventional sensors might become stuck on or run across. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times that our testers were required to clean up after a robotic vacuum cleaners snag.

However, the new sensors aren't solving all of the problems these machines have. The cheaper models are still unable to navigate the same obstacles as older models, and they require some level of illumination to see where they are going. If you live in a dark house or have lots of furniture with low-profiles, consider getting one that uses a top-mounted spinning LIDAR unit to map your space, as our top overall and runner-up picks do. This allows them to work in the dark and avoid obstacles such as stairs.

These models can be programmed to only use their cliff sensors only 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 laser used by a LIDAR-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces and cause the robot to believe it is in another room.

A few of the models we recommend also allow you to create virtual no-go zones in areas where you do not want the robot to go, which can be useful if you have pets or children. These features aren't on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before making your choice.
