Top Rated Robot Vacuums A robot vacuum can keep floors clean enough to decrease the frequency you have to manually vacuum. Pick a robot vacuum with good navigation, is able to clean corners and stairs and also has large bins that needs to be cleaned out every now and then. There are also models that clean and charge on their own, a feature that may be essential for those who have pets or children. The top performers in our tests have great ability to overcome obstacles. 1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling, the i3 EVO. They differ only in the fact that the i3+ has self-emptying capabilities. self vacuum i3+ is a great option for those who want a fully automated, hands-off cleaning experience, but want to manually empty the dustbin of the robot when it is full. Both robots do well cleaning up surface debris from carpets and hard floors, and they're excellent in getting around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates a smart maps of your home that assist the i3+ to navigate and clean efficiently. However, unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots we tested the i3+ doesn't have obstacle-avoidance capabilities and therefore it could get stuck on things like socks or power cords, and it may have trouble traversing transitions across surfaces like from hardwood to carpet. iRobot recommends you clear out areas in which the i3+ EVO will vacuum before you use it, which includes getting rid of any toys or clutter it may encounter. You should also keep the dustbin and filter free of dirt to prevent them from getting blocked. When the i3+'s internal bin is full or the battery is low it will return to its docking station, automatically empties its dirt into the station's dust bin and continues cleaning the area where it left off. The i3+ EVO's batteries last for about an hour and a half continuous use, and it takes around three hours to fully recharge. 2. iRobot i7+ Roomba The iRobot i7+ is an excellent model from iRobot's flagship line, and it comes with the most recent features. It is self-charging and self-navigating. But the most important feature is its auto-emptying bin. This removes the need for regular maintenance. The Roomba i7+ can keep up to 10 floor plans and their names thanks to Imprint Smart Mapping, a system that lets it identify rooms to clean them more efficiently. It also integrates with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning jobs, and you can direct your robot using the app or via voice. In our testing the i7+ was quicker and more maneuverable than our second-placed model, the eufy RoboVac G30, and it took large pieces of pet hair from all surface types including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy, though the dust bin is self-emptying that removes a major source of maintenance and cuts down on the cost of maintenance. 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 begin, stop or pause its cleaning sessions, move itself around the room and sweep a specific space. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ to these services. After being connected, to voice commands to the i7+ for example “Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom.” The iRobot Home App also offers options to manage i7+ settings and evaluating performance. 3. Dyson Cyclone V10 This tiny Dyson model is an all-sports car in a sea of cordless vacuums that feel like minivans and buses. It is powerful enough to replace a stand-up vacuum in the majority of homes, yet it is also small enough to fit on a bookcase or coffee table. The V10 is powered by a 7-cell, energy-dense lithium-ion battery that produces continuous, non-fading power for 60 minutes. The advanced whole-machine filter system is able to trap allergens and then lets cleaner air into your home. Its specialized head uses stiff nylon bristles to drive deep into carpets and pick up large dust or crumbs. It comes with three suction settings to match the task being performed. It quickly converts from handheld vacuum to floor vacuum and back. This model has a dock which charges the Dyson to 100 percent in 3.5 hours. It also gives easy access to 2 attachments as well as an Wand. This is a huge improvement over earlier Dysons that require a lengthy charge and are difficult to store. The V10's biggest drawback is its limited run time. Its marketing claims that it has up to 60 minutes of running time are a bit misleading as CR's tests have shown. This is a typical battery-powered vacuum's run time. This is enough time to vacuum the typical home but not enough to reach every spot. (A second time is usually sufficient). This model has its own advantages, however: it's lighter and more maneuverable than earlier Dysons cordless models and its ability to vacuum is significantly better on low-pile floor carpet. 4. iRobot Roomba 694 The 694 is a basic robot vacuum that's an excellent choice for those who don't have a lot of money to spend on an expensive robot. It's capable of sucking up all types of debris and sizes during our tests, and it often goes over the same areas several times to give a thorough clean. Its flat front end helps it to reach into corners and along the walls' edges which is a nice feature. Its navigation system is smart and uses iAdapt to avoid obstacles and navigate around your home, but it isn't equipped with the mapping capabilities of more sophisticated models such as our top picks and the i3+ EVO and the j7+ series. It may get stuck on phone cords or low furniture and will often run out of power before returning to its home base. The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in many ways in that it has fewer parts that require regular maintenance and is equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, has lower costs for recurring maintenance, has more advanced automation capabilities and does a better job maneuvering itself. It also has a bigger dustbin and can charge faster. The sleek RoboVac X8 has a superior battery life than the Roomba 694. It also has physical boundaries strips that can be controlled with the voice assistant on your smartphone. It also feels more sturdy and has a more powerful motor, and works better on both bare floors and low-pile carpet, while providing a greater variety of automation features. 5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ Samsung is a household name in home electronics. It's not a surprise, then, that they are also among the top manufacturers of robot vacuums and mop. Jet Bot AI+ has the most advanced onboard technology for navigation and obstacle avoidance. The app offers a variety of options to personalize your robotic cleaner, including virtual barriers mopping water levels, behavior modification, docking frequency settings, and more. The app is simple to learn and use as are other Samsung devices. In our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors, and removed 86% of dog hair (on carpet). However, it wasn't particularly well at avoiding larger objects, like cords and socks, which was disappointing. It's also a bit more expensive than the other models we've tested which could be a problem for some shoppers. The app lets you access the camera onboard of the smart vacuum. You can also create live streaming from the robot's area of cleaning. This feature allows you to keep track of your pets or kids when you're away from home. The dustbin and the filter can be cleaned to ensure a quick, painless clean-up. The Jet Bot AI+ also comes with a clean station that self-empties and helps keep the robot's dustbin clear and optimizes its suction power for each cleaning run. 6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum In contrast to other robotic vacuums which are designed for both hard floors and carpets, Black and Decker robots are designed specifically for hard floors. They come with a wide cleaning path as well as a large dustbin that holds twice as much debris than other models to keep the cleaning area free of debris for the longest period of time. In addition, they have two side sweepers to clean up around edges and in corners. The POWERSERIES model also comes with AutoSense which adjusts the power level according to whether it's picking up dirt on the surface or embedded dirt. It also comes with a smart app that lets you view the virtual map and control functions and schedules. You can also monitor the status of the vacuum and connect it to the dock for charging at the touch of a single button. The app lets you modify the LEDs on the top of the vacuum to determine where it is focused or if it's stuck. The app makes it possible to manually steer the robot in the event of need. For example, my living room rug has a darkly colored border that has a tendency to make it difficult for other robots I've tried. However, the HRV 425BL continued to move across the border, without registering it as a cliff. The ability to program a cleaning schedule for each week is a time-saving benefit.
