How to Choose the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner

A robot automated vacuum will save you lots of time and effort when it comes to regular cleaning robots. The best models are capable of getting rid of dust as well as light debris and cords.

The pricier ones even mop your floors--though they still can't climb the stairs. Choose models that have intelligent mapping, real-time hazards avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots in our testing are efficient, easy to use, and are able to cope with everyday debris. You'll also need a robot that can take on stairs and that has decent cleaning power for carpets. If you're looking for a robot with extra features, consider an option that incorporates smart mapping technology, or an app to control it remotely.

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

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

In our tests, we discovered that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combined with a LIDAR (light) sensor that can identify obstacles and map rooms by using a structured-light sensor to identify objects and detect edges. It can avoid liquid droplets, stairs, and furniture legs easily using this combination. It also has the ability to save up to four floor plans to be used in the future. It can also pause the cleaning process at any point and pick up where it left off, so you can do chores while the robot works. The included app offers a 3D representation of your home, room labels and more advanced cleaning options.

This robot is not as efficient in cleaning like our top models, but it is great at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws and even fine particles like sand. The only drawbacks are that it's not able to mop, and its navigation system is less impressive.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting in your home, search for a robot vacuum with excellent pickup and good maneuverability scores on carpets and rug. Many models do a decent job of removing dust that is embedded in carpets with low pile, and several do a decent job at picking up heavier debris such as orzo pasta, metal screws and pet hair. They aren't able to pick up small particles like an upright or canister, and could miss dirt close to baseboards or thresholds.

For carpeted homes, a 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum is the best option. You can exchange the cleaning bin for a moist 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 spinning at 200 rotations a minute. It detects and raises the pads when it is in 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 is also more efficient than other robot vacuums and mops in avoiding obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is another option worth considering. It performed well in our tests, and you can schedule it to clean your home even when you're away. It can be set to only mop. We were impressed by its ability to navigate on floors that are not bare as well as carpets. The Combo i5 also has a very long runtime and excellent path planning for such a small device.

If you want a more advanced model, look into the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It has a large dock that can last for weeks without having to be empty. It also has impressive ability to navigate and auto-empty on carpets and bare floors. It also has a clever mapping system and can be set to only run for certain hours (a useful feature to stop the sly children and animals from running amok). The Shark isn't as powerful as other robot vacuum cleaner best vacuum/mop combinations however it still manages to pick up pet hair and hair extremely well. It's also the best value of our top choices.

Best for Hard Flooring

Robot vacuums are the best choice for hardwood floors as they are able to navigate around obstacles without damaging surfaces that are not bare. They do an excellent job of picking up dust and crumbs, but they struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They don't have the suction of a high-end canister or upright vacuum, making them unsuitable for deep cleaning carpeted or upholstery areas.

The best robots are two-in-one, combining mop and vacuum to do a complete job in one go. If you have flooring that is mixed you should look for a model with an onboard sensor which detects changes in floor texture and adjusts suction to match. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+, for instance, has this feature and can transition seamlessly from soft to hard carpeting.

If your home is composed of hardwood floors, think about a robotic vacuum and mop combo like the eufy S1 Pro. This model is an efficient robot vacuum with smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces, plus it can mop too. Its sensors let it avoid hazards such as stairs.

When you need mops, the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually wash hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than wipe them to remove light dirt and dust. The pads that are reusable reduce waste and help to spread less germs. They can also be cleaned in docking stations to help save time. The mop pads can also be dried, washed, and used again.

Both the robovac as well as the mop can be controlled by your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. For instance, you can, use the app to create zones that the vacuum won't be allowed to enter, label different rooms, or schedule specific cleaning times. 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, meaning you don't have to manually empty the bin as often as you do with other models.

Best for Small Spaces

Like the name suggests, these robots are best designed for smaller spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less debris, and they're more efficient than larger models when it comes to maneuvering tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, where the bigger robots struggle to reach. They are also less expensive than higher-end models, but you will need to empty their dirt compartments manually at the end of each cleaning session.

A few years ago, robot vacuums underwent a significant change as manufacturers began adding sensors to help them navigate and avoid household objects that their conventional sensors would get stuck on or run over. These improvements reduced the number times our testers were required to clean up after a robot accident.

However, the new sensors haven't resolved all of the problems these machines have. The cheapest models still struggle with the same obstacles that the older models faced, and many of them require a certain amount of illumination to be able see where they're headed. You should consider an option that incorporates a spinning LIDAR device placed on top of the model to map the area. Our best overall pick and runner-up models use this. This allows them to avoid obstacles like stairs and other ones when working in darkness.

They can also be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when they are near or on the ground, and not when they are above it. It is essential to cover mirrors to prevent this from happening. The lasers used by the LIDAR-based models could bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the robot to believe it's in a different room.

Some of the models we recommend let you create virtual no-go zones for areas you don't want the robot to go to. This is helpful for those with small children or pets. Those features aren't available on all the models we test, so be sure to review our full reviews of the choices below prior to making a purchase.
