1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The i3+ EVO and its sibling the i3 EVO are the same robots, but they differ in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying features. This makes the i3+ a good option for those looking for an automated, hands-free cleaning experience but don't mind having to empty their dust bin manually when it is full.

iRobot recommends that you tidy up the area where the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or clutter it might encounter. It's also recommended to keep the bin and filter clean so that they do not become blocked by dirt.

2. Roomba from iRobot
The iRobot i7+ is an excellent model from iRobot's flagship line and comes with the latest technology. It's self-charging, self-navigating, and the most important feature of all -- it comes with self-emptying bins that eliminate one of the primary sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.

We were also amazed by the i7+'s compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services, which we used to instruct the best buy robot vacuum to start, stop or pause its cleaning routines, move itself around the room, and even vacuum an area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ with these services. After being connected, to voice commands to the i7+, for example "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom."

3. Dyson Cyclone V10
This tiny Dyson model is an all-sports car that is amidst a sea of cordless vacuums that feel like minivans and buses. It's powerful enough to replace a stand-up vacuum in a majority of homes, but also small enough to fit on a coffee table or bookcase.

The biggest issue with the V10 is its short run time. The tests conducted by CR show that its claims to run up to 60 minutes are a bit misleading. This is a typical, not an exceptional, run time for an electric cordless vacuum powered by batteries. This is still enough to clean most of a home that's average size however, it's not enough to get every single area (though the second time around usually can be effective).

In our testing, the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors, and also handled dog hair (on carpet) quite well, cleaning up 86 percent of it.
