Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum will keep your floors tidy enough to cut down on the frequency of manual hoovering. Choose a robot vacuum that is well-trained in navigation, is able to clean corners and stairs and has an enormous bin that only needs to be cleaned out every now and then.

There are models that mop and charge on their own This feature could be beneficial for those with children or pets. Many of the best performers in our tests have great obstacles to avoid.

1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO is identical to its sibling i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. This makes the i3+ a good option for those who want a hands-off, fully automated cleaning experience, but aren't afraid of manually emptying their robot's dustbin when it is full.

Both robots are adept in removing dirt and dust particles on hard floors and carpets, and they can easily navigate around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart maps of your home to assist the i3+ to navigate and clean efficiently. However, unlike the i7+ or other top Rated Robot vacuum rated robots we tested the i3+ does not have a feature for avoiding obstacles and therefore it could get stuck on things like socks or power cords, and it may have trouble in navigating through transitions between surfaces, such as from hardwood to rug.

iRobot suggests that you clean up the area where the i3+ EVO vacuums prior to using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or clutter it may encounter. You should also keep the dustbin and filters clean to prevent them from becoming clogged. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is not fully charged, it returns to the docking station and automatically empties the dirt into the station’s external dustbin. It then continues cleaning from 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 iRobot's flagship line and comes with all the latest features. It's self cleaning vacuum cleaner-charging and self-navigating. -- the most important feature of all -- it comes with self-emptying bins that eliminate one of the main sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.

The Roomba I7+ can make rooms more efficient maps using Imprint Smart Mapping. It also works with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning jobs, and you can control your robot via the app or via voice.

In our tests, the i7+ was faster and more maneuverable than our top choice which was the eufy RoboVac G30, and it removed large chunks of pet hair from all surfaces types including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy, though, is its self-emptying dustbin that eliminates a major cause of maintenance and cuts down on the amount of time spent cleaning robot price.

We were also awestruck by the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services that we used to instruct the robot to begin, stop or pause its cleaning routines, move itself around the room, and even vacuum an area. The process of connecting the i7+ to these services was simple and straightforward using the iRobot Home app. We were able, once connected, to voice commands to the i7+ for example "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 are like minivans and buses, this tiny Dyson model feels like an automobile. It has the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for the majority of households, but it also fits in well next to the table for a coffee or shelves that you can spin around like the magic wand.

The V10 is powered by seven cells of energy-dense Lithium-ion batteries, which produces power without fading for 60 minutes. Its sophisticated whole-machine filtration system traps allergens and releases cleaner air back into your home. Its specialized cleaning head drives bristles made of nylon that are stiff into carpet to suck up large particles and fine dust. It comes with three suction modes that can be adjusted to suit the task. It swiftly switches from floor vac to handheld remote vacuum, and then back to floor.

This model has a dock that can charge the Dyson to 100% within 3.5 hours. It also gives the ability to connect two attachments and an handheld. This is a huge improvement over the older Dysons, which require a lengthy charge and are difficult to store.

The main drawback of the V10 is its short running time. As CR's tests show, its advertising claims of up to 60 minutes are not true. This is a common, not exceptional, battery-powered vacuum's run time. This is enough time to clean the typical home but not enough to reach every area. (A second time generally works). This model has its own advantages however: it's lighter and more maneuverable than earlier Dysons cordless models, and its vacuuming ability is significantly better on low-pile floor carpet.

4. iRobot Roomba 694"

The 694 is a basic robot vacuum that's a great option for those who don't have a lot of money to spend on the latest model of robot. It's capable of sucking up most kinds of debris in our testing, and it often passes over the same areas multiple times to get a really thorough clean. The flat front of the unit allows it reach into corners and along the edges of walls, which is a nice feature.

Its navigation system is smart and uses iAdapt technology to stay clear of obstacles and navigate your home. However, it lacks the mapping capabilities of more advanced models, including our top picks, i3+EVO and j7+ Series. It can get stuck on phone cords or furniture and is often unable to supply power before returning to its base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694 because it has fewer components that require regular cleaning, is outfitted with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtering system, has a lower cost of recurring costs and is more sophisticated in its automation capabilities and can better move itself. It also has a larger dustbin and is charged faster.

The eufy RoboVac X8 has a superior battery life than the Roomba 694. It also comes with physical boundaries strips and can be controlled with your smartphone's voice assistance. It's also more robust, has a larger motor, and performs better on low-pile and bare floors.

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a household name in the field of home electronics. It's not surprising, then, that they are one of the top makers of robot vacuums and mop. Their Jet Bot AI+ is loaded with cutting-edge onboard intelligence tech for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

The app offers a wide range of customization options for your robotic cleaner. These include virtual barriers, mopping levels and behavior adjustments, docking frequency settings and more. It's easy to understand and is user-friendly, which is the case with other Samsung devices.

In our tests our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors and handled dog hair (on carpet) quite well, cleaning up 86% of it. However, it didn't do particularly well with taller objects like cords and socks, which was disappointing. It's also more expensive than other models we've tested, and this could be a problem for some shoppers.

The app lets you access the onboard camera of the smart auto vacuum. You can also set up live streaming from the robot's cleaning area. This feature allows you check in on your children or pets when you're away. The filter and the dustbin can be washed for an easy, quick clean-up. The Jet Bot AI+ also comes with a clean and tidy station that self-empties, which helps keep the robot's dustbin clean and maximizes suction power for each cleaning.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

Black and Decker robots have been designed specifically for hard flooring. They have an extra wide cleaning path and dust bins that are 2X bigger than the competitors. This lets them clean the area for longer. They also come with two side sweepers that can be used to clean around corners and edges. The POWERSERIES model also comes with AutoSense which adjusts the power level according to whether it's cleaning up dirt that is on the surface or embedded. It also has a smart app that lets you see the virtual map, and control functions and schedules. You can also monitor the status of the vacuum and then send it to its dock for charging at the press of a single button. The app also lets you to customize the lights on top of the vacuum with different colors so you can clearly see the areas where it's focused or where it's got stuck.

The app makes it possible to manually steer the robot when needed. My living room rug, for example is darkly colored that could cause trouble for other robots. The HRV 425BL, however continued to travel across the border without registering the high point. Also, the ability to program the weekly cleaning schedule is a wonderful time-saving benefit.
