Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum is able to keep the floors clean enough to cut down on the frequency with which you'll need to manually vacuum. Choose one that has good navigation, can clean corners and stairs and has a huge dust bin that needs emptying only every few times.

There are also models that clean and charge themselves This feature could be important for people with pets or kids. Many of the best self cleaning vacuum performers in our tests have excellent ability to overcome obstacles.

1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO and its sibling the i3 EVO are both identical robots, but they differ in that the i3+ has self-emptying features. The i3+ is a great option for those who want an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but are willing to manually empty the dustbin of the robot once it gets full.

Both robots are adept at picking up surface dirt on carpets and hard floors, and they can easily maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software makes smart maps of your home that help the i3+ EVO to navigate and clean in a way that maximizes efficiency. However, unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots we evaluated, the i3+ doesn't have obstacle-avoidance capabilities which means it can get stuck on things such as power cords or socks, and it may have trouble navigating across surface transitions like hardwood to rug.

iRobot recommends clearing areas in which the i3+ EVO will vacuum before you use it, including getting rid of any toys or clutter it may come across. You should also keep the dustbin and filters clean to prevent them from getting blocked. When the i3+'s internal bin is filled or the battery is depleted, it returns to its docking station and automatically emptying its debris into the station's external dustbin, and then continues cleaning the area where it started. The i3+ EVO's battery lasts for about an hour and a half of continuous use. It takes about three hours to fully recharge.

2. Roomba by iRobot

The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the Top Rated Robot Vacuum model in iRobot's flagship line and comes with all the latest features. It has self-charging and self-navigating. But the most significant feature is its auto vacuum-emptying bin. This removes the need for routine maintenance.

The Roomba i7+ is able to remember up to 10 floor plans and their names thanks to Imprint Smart Mapping, which lets it map rooms so it can clean them more efficiently. It also works with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning tasks, and it can control your robot through the app or voice.

In our tests the i7+ performed faster and more maneuverable than our second-placed model and the eufy RoboVac G30, and it picked up large pieces of pet hair from all surface types, including carpeting. The biggest benefit over the eufy it self-empties its dust bin, which removes a major source of maintenance and reduces the amount of time spent cleaning.

We were also amazed by the i7+'s compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services, which we used to instruct the robot to start, stop or pause its cleaning routines and to move around the room, and even vacuum an area. Connecting the i7+ to these services was easy and easy with the iRobot Home app. Once connected to these services, we were able use the i7+'s voice commands, such as "Hey Alexa, vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options to manage i7+ settings and evaluating performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

In a world of vacuums with cords that look like minivans or buses, this small Dyson model is an automobile. It has the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum in many households and can fit perfectly next to the table for a coffee or shelves where you can wave it around like an enchanted tool.

The V10 is powered by a 7-cell high-energy lithium-ion battery that can provide fade-free power for 60 minutes. The advanced whole-machine filtering system captures allergens, and then lets cleaner air into your best home vacuum cleaner. Its cleaning head is specially designed and drives bristles of nylon that are stiff and deep into carpet to collect large dust and crumbs. It comes with three suction modes that can be adjusted to the task. It quickly switches from floor vac to handheld vacuum and back.

This model also has docks that charge to 100% in about 3.5 hours, and gives users an easy access to two attachments as well as an wand clip. This is a huge improvement over earlier Dysons models, which require a lengthy charge and are difficult to store.

The main drawback of the V10 is its sluggish run time. Its marketing claims that it can provide up to 60 minutes of running time are misleading, as CR's testing shows. This is a standard, not exceptional, battery-powered vacuum's run time. It's still enough time to clean most of a home that's average size however, it's not enough to get every single spot (though an additional run-through often does the trick). This model has its own advantages however: it's light and more mobile than previous Dysons cordless models and its ability to vacuum is noticeable superior on carpets with low pile.

4. iRobot Roomba 694"

One of iRobot's most adored robot vacuums the 694 is an affordable model that's a great choice for people who don't want to spend too much money on a robot. It was able to remove most types of debris in our tests and would often go over the same area several times to give an efficient clean. The flat front of the unit allows to get into corners and along the walls' edges which is a nice touch.

Its smart navigation system uses iAdapt technology to steer clear of obstacles and help you navigate your home. It's not equipped with the capabilities for mapping of more advanced models, such as our top picks, i3+EVO and the j7+ Series. It can get stuck on phone cords or low furniture and often runs out of power before returning to its home base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in all aspects in that it has fewer components that require regular cleaning, is fitted with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, incurs lower recurring costs, has more advanced automation capabilities and is better at maneuvering itself. It also has a bigger dustbin, and charges more quickly.

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

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a brand is found on all kinds of home electronics So it's no surprise that they're one of the most reputable robot vacuum and mop manufacturers. Jet Bot AI+ has the most advanced onboard technology for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

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

In our testing our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors and dealt with dog hair (on carpet) very well, picking up 86 percent of it. However, it did not do particularly well in avoiding larger objects, like cords and socks, which was disappointing. It's priced higher than other models that we tested, and this could be a problem for some shoppers.

The smart vacuum comes with an onboard camera that is accessible via the app, and you can also create a live stream from the robot's cleaning station. This feature allows you check in on your pets or children while you are away. The dustbin and the filter can be cleaned for the quick and easy cleaning. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with an automatic clean station which helps to keep the bin clean and improves suction power.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

Unlike other robotic vacuums, which are designed for both hard floors and carpets, Black and Decker robots are designed specifically for hard floors. They feature an extra-wide cleaning path and an extra-large dustbin that holds 2X more debris than competitors to keep the area clean for the longest time. They also include two side sweepers to clean around corners and edges. The POWERSERIES Extreme model also comes with AutoSense technology, which can tell if it's picking up dirt or debris on the surface and then automatically adjusts its power level. It also comes with a smart app that lets you see the virtual map and control functions and schedules. You can also monitor the vacuum's battery status and return it to its dock to charge by pressing a button. The app also lets you to personalize the lights on top of the vacuum by using different colors so you can easily identify the areas where it's focused or where it's gotten stuck.

The app makes it possible to steer the robot manually, if necessary. For example my living room rug has a darkly colored border that tends to trip up some of the other robots I've tested. The HRV 425BL, however, continued to move across the border without registering the high point. And the ability to program a weekly cleaning schedule is a great time-saving convenience.
