The Best Robot Hoover

The best robot hoover can vacuum and mop without needing your attention. It leaves your floors spotless. Its price is surprisingly low and features that are high-end (such as dirt detection) are pluses.

Examine your robot's brush frequently for tangled debris and hair. Clean them as needed. Some models will also empty the onboard dustbin and deposit it in a larger bin at the bottom. This can reduce the amount of fine dust that is released into the air.

1. Roomba Q5 Pro

The Q5 Pro and its sibling, the pricier Q7 Max Series, are among the most powerful robot vacuum cleaners best vacuums we've examined. They feature motors that are top-of-the class and can handle up to 5,500 Pascals. As with other premium iRobot models (including the top choice), they use intelligent mapping technology to create detailed floor plans that avoid common obstacles like cords and furniture legs. They also come with a feature called carpet boost which boosts the robot's power when it detects an abundance of dirt on the carpet in order to get it cleaned quickly.

The Q5 and Q7 Max Series both scored extremely well in our tests on floors that were bare and are especially adept in removing hair from dogs. However, they have several flaws that prevent them from being our top pick. One of them is that the Q5's navigation system doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance which means it's susceptible to become entangled in shoes and socks, and is unable to navigate tightly packed rooms very efficiently in our tests. It also doesn't come with cameras that let it see the corners of an area.

It's still a good deal for those whose home or office has a lot of bare floors and you want to save some money. Additionally, it's quiet and can work while you're at work, or at school. It doesn't have the edge-to-edge floor vacuuming feature that's available in the more expensive iRobot Roomba X30. It's also less effective when it comes to mopping. It relies on disposable wet wipes that don't adhere well and isn't able to handle dried-on debris. The Q5 comes with a self-emptying cradle however. If you need to, the mopping pad can be swapped for a wet one in just a few seconds.

2. iRobot Roomba X30

The iRobot Roomba X30 packs impressive vacuuming and mopping capabilities into a sleek, compact package. Its intelligent cleaning maps as well as nimble navigation make it easy to clean, and effective in tackling larger particles such as pet hair. It also features strong suction and self-emptying bin. It's the best robot vacuum for carpets, but it lags behind some competitors in deep cleaning.

This high-performance automatic vacuum and mop robot and mop utilizes sensor technology that can keep away from obstacles and pet waste. It also learns the layout of your home over time and provide better cleaning. The app lets you customize zones and change the cleaning schedule. It has a battery life that is similar to other models.

When the X30 Ultra is in a carpeted area, you can instruct it to pull back and extend its mop. This can help avoid cross contamination. Its flex arm is also perfect for getting under low-lying furniture and along baseboards. However, it doesn't have the same washboard performance as our other Editors' Choice picks, the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Professional+ and the iRobot Combo j9+.

During tests, the X30 Ultra was the fastest robot vacuum/mop that could complete an entire home, and it did so with only 66 percent of its battery left. It did a great cleaning job on various rooms and floors with various flooring types, including some area rug. Its obstacle detection was superb and it stayed clear of fake dog turds, socks, shoes and bundles of cables.

It's a bit more expensive than the iRobot Combo v9+ and iRobot Roomba j9+, however it offers superior suction, a built-in dust bin that automatically fills up its base, and it supports voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It even cleans the floor after it vacuums this feature, which we haven't seen in other robotic vacuum/mop combos.

3. Roomba X40 from iRobot

With an elegant circular design that looks like a regular Roomba rather than the boxes This robot vacuum and mop combo is among the most attractive looking models in our tests. iRobot's latest flagship model also is among the most intelligent model, with features that are cutting-edge like enhanced dirt detection technology and future compatibility with Matter (another company's robot vacuum that vacuums and mops that can autonomously wash mop pads).

It's also the only robot vacuum/mop to score the perfect 10/10 out of 10 in our tests. This is thanks to a combination high-tech sensors, including a structured light system, a camera and multiple lasers. The X40 Ultra was the only robot we tested that could refill and empty its basestation in a self-contained manner. It also boasted a suction of 12,000Pa as well as self-cleaning mops.

The X40 as with other iRobot products, is simple to operate. It has a simple mobile application interface, and it is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. The only issue is that the X40 is still a noisy unit. This can be a problem in mornings before work or in the evening when you are trying to sleep.

It's also a bit expensive, although it's not as expensive as the Ecovacs Omni or Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, both of which are equally capable and more attractive. This is a two-in-one vacuum that is very efficient however it will cost you more and create more noise.

iRobot L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a top-of-the-range robot vacuum and mop, with a lot of advanced features that will let you get rid of your chores. Similar to Ecovacs the range-topping X2 Omni and Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra, the L20 is designed to be a hands-off cleaning robot mop and vacuum machine that can take care of both mopping and vacuuming, with a multifunction dock that automatically empties the vacuum's dustbin, refills its water tank and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The smart robot uses a combination of LIDAR and structured light to create floor plans and identify obstacles, making it more efficient than some of its premium rivals. It also has a front mounted camera that can detect hazards in real-time, though this wasn't foolproof in our tests and could be confused with obstructions or power cords.

The vacuum cleaner comes with the capacity to suction up to 7,000 Pascals which is more than sufficient to accomplish the task. It also has a feature known as "Intelligent Dirt Detection", that regulates the power of the vacuum and adjusts cleaning frequency for different areas of the home based on how dirty these areas tend to be.

For larger homes it's worth looking for a model with zone or spot cleaning modes that allow you to instruct the robot to clean a particular area of your home using the app or via voice commands. If you have lots of furniture, a stair mode is also a good option. For families that are busy, a recharge function and resume feature that permits your robot vacuum to continue from where it left off could be very useful.

5. iRobot Roomba RX3

The RX3 is more intelligent than the price suggests. It is a good vacuum cleaner and picked up 55% debris in our tests. (It was second to the Roomba Q5 Pro). It also mops with one pad, which uses a reciprocating motion that is cleaner than the other mop cleaners for robots we've examined. It's also extremely self-sufficient, with a fully-featured application, and a self emptying, washable base.

The iRobot app is designed to help you navigate a mapping run that collects data on your floorplan and any "no go" areas that you've marked on the map. It can be used to make cleaning schedules, set up the perfect spot for cleaning or prioritise your dirtiest rooms for better performance. The app offers a variety of options, including seasonal suggestions, custom mapping, and advanced cleaning settings.

Its shape is more rectangular than most other robot vacuums, which means it can get to corners and underneath furniture more easily. It also has strong 8000 Pascal suction and combs with intelligent technology for pet hair. You can also set up a spot-clean that will thoroughly clean the area.

The Miele Scout RX3 Home Vision HD is a more sleek and more affordable alternative to the iRobot Roomba. It is more appealing in its design, similar to Dolce & Gabbana. The twin cameras are shaped like cute eyes. It's good at vacuuming but is more prone to be caught by low thresholds and is a bit noisier than the other top robotic vacuums we've tested. It also has an app that is less intuitive and a small base station that does not double as a bin to empty.
