How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums will save you time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning. The top models do a great job at removing dust and lightweight debris and allow you to designate no-go zones in pets or power cords.

The higher-end models even sweep your floors, though they aren't able to climb stairs. Find models that feature intelligent mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and spacious self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots we tested were user-friendly, efficient and able to keep up with the daily debris. You'll want a robot with adequate carpet-picking capabilities and the ability to handle stairs. If you're looking for extra features, you may be interested in a robot that uses smart mapping technology, or an application that allows you to control it remotely.

Camryn Rabideau is a contributing shopping writer and product reviewer at PEOPLE who has tried dozens of robotic vacuums. She prefers the ones with the most features, such as those with self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and refill water tanks to mop robotic vacuums. She also enjoys robots that recognize landmarks such as furniture legs and power cables so that they don't fall when climbing stairs.

This robot from Black and Decker has a lower navigation score and has less object-avoidance technology than the most popular models. It comes with a large non-refillable dustbin as well as an extended battery. It also has an option that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions, and then return to where it stopped last, making it easier for you to clean larger areas. This model is also a good option for pet owners as it is able to identify and prevent tangled hair as well as fallen food particles.

In our tests, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines a LIDAR sensor that is able to map rooms and identify obstacles using a structured light sensor that can identify objects and detect edges. The combination allows it to avoid stairs, droplets of liquid, and furniture legs easily and save up to four floor maps for future use. It is also able to stop the cleaning process at any moment and return to where it stopped and let you do chores while the robot does its work. The included app provides an interactive 3D model of your home, room labels and more advanced cleaning options.

This robot is not as good at cleaning as our top rated robot vacuum models, however it is great in removing heavier objects like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine debris such as sand. The only drawbacks are that it's not able to mop and that its navigation system is less impressive.

The best for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, search for a vacuum that has excellent pickup and good maneuverability scores on carpets and rug. Many models are good at collecting dust from low-pile carpets, and some are capable of picking up heavier debris, such as orzo pasta and metal screws. However, they can't handle fine particles like an upright or canister vacuum and can not pick up dirt that is ground-in close to thresholds and baseboards.

For carpeted homes the 2-in-1 robot vacuum is the best option. It is possible to swap out a cleaning 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 simultaneously with circular pads that spin at 200 rpm. It detects and raises the pads when it comes into contact with carpet to avoid wetting the floor. Additionally, you don't have to take them off or replace them after every use. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot remote vacuum cleaner/mops in avoiding obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another solid option. It performed well in our tests and you can set it up to schedule it to sweep your home when you are away. It can also be set to only mop and we were impressed by its impressive navigation on both rug and floor surfaces, as well as its ability to climb over and up onto furniture. The Combo i5 also has a very long runtime and a great path-planning feature for a device of this size.

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line vacuum that is high-tech, the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is a fantastic alternative. It has a huge charging dock that can run for months without needing to be emptying and has impressive navigation skills and auto vacuum-emptying on carpets and floors that are not cleaned. It's also got a smart vacuum cleaner-mapping system and can be programmed to operate at certain times of the day (a handy feature for keeping mischievous kids and dextrous pets from running it amuck). The Shark isn't as powerful as other mop/robot combination models however it does pick hair and pet hair very well. It's also the best value of our top robot vacuum choices.

Best for Hard Flooring

Robot vacuums are a great pick for hardwood floors because they are able to navigate around obstacles without damaging the floor's surface. They are fantastic for removing dust and crumbs but struggle with pet hair or larger debris. They don't have the suction power of a high-end upright or canister vacuum, which is why they're not an ideal option for rooms with carpets or upholstery that requires deep cleaning.

The best robots come with two-in-one features, combining mop and vacuum to complete the task in one move. If you have mixed flooring you should look for one with an onboard sensor which detects any changes in floor texture and adjusts 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 lots of hardwood flooring in your home you might want to think about a robot mop and vacuum like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model uses a powerful robotic vacuum that has intelligent navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, and it can mop too. Its sensors help it avoid the stairs and other hazards, so you don't need to worry about the robot falling down the stairs and breaking your hardwood.

The Eufy S1 Pro mop is designed to clean hardwood floors using downward pressure, rather than simply swab them to remove dirt and dust. Its pads that can be reused reduce waste and spread fewer germs. They can also be cleaned at docking stations to reduce time. The mops can also be washed 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. For instance you can use the app to set up a no-go zone that the vacuum won't enter, label separate rooms, or schedule cleaning times for certain areas. The Eufy S1 Pro also has an auto-emptying dock that collects debris through a trapdoor and puts it in a disposable or bagless bin, which means you don't have to manually empty the bin every time as you would with other models.

Best for Small Spaces

These robots are made for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that can hold less debris, and they're more efficient than larger models when it comes to navigating tight corners. They can also fit underneath furniture that larger robots aren't able to reach. These robots are also cheaper than the more expensive models, but you'll have to empty their dirt bins manually at the end each cleaning session.

A few years ago, robot vacuums went through a major change when manufacturers started adding sensors to help them navigate around and avoid household objects that their traditional sensors would get stuck on or run over. The improvements in technology reduced the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robot incident.

The new sensors don't solve all the problems with these devices, however. The cheapest models are still struggling with the same obstacles that the older ones faced and, in addition, they require a certain amount of light to be able see where they're headed. If you live in a dark house or have a lot of furniture with low-profiles, consider purchasing a top-mounted spinning LIDAR unit to map your space, like our best overall and runner-up choices do. This lets them work in the dark and avoid obstacles like stairs.

These models can also be programmed to use their cliff sensors when they are in or near the ground, but not when they are above it. It is still recommended to cover any mirrors that might hinder this function, however, since the lasers used by a LIDAR-based model could bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to believe it's in a different room cleaning robot.

Some of the models that we recommend let you create virtual no-go areas for areas that you don't want the robot to visit. This is helpful when you have small children or pets. These features aren't included on all the models we've tested so make sure to review our full reviews of each model below prior to making a purchase.
