Top Rated Robot Vacuum Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum can keep your floors clean enough to reduce the frequency of manual hoovering. Find one that has excellent navigation, is able to clean stairs and corners and has a huge dust bin that has to be emptied only periodically.

You can also find models that can mop and charge on their own which can be essential for those who have pets or children. A lot of the top performers in our tests have good obstacle avoidance.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling, the i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ has self-emptying capabilities. The i3+ is a great alternative for those who want a an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but are willing to manually empty the robot's dustbin after it has filled up.

Both robots are good at picking up surface dirt on carpets and hard floors and can maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates a smart map of your home to help the i3+ navigate and clean efficiently. However, unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots we test, the i3+ doesn't have a feature for avoiding obstacles which means it can get stuck on things like power cords or socks, and it may have trouble in navigating through transitions between surfaces like hardwood to rug.

iRobot recommends you clear out areas where the i3+ EVO will vacuum before you use it, and include clearing out any clutter or toys it might encounter. It's also an excellent idea to keep the bin and filter clean so that they aren't clogged by dirt. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is depleted, it returns to the docking station and automatically takes the dirt out of the docking station’s external dustbin. Then it continues cleaning where it started. The battery's lifespan is around an hour-and-a-half of continuous use. It takes three hours to charge.

2. iRobot i7+ Roomba

The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the most powerful model in iRobot's flagship line and has the most up-to-date features. It's self-charging and self-navigating. -- the most important feature of all -- it has self-emptying bins that eliminate one of the most important sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.

The Roomba i7+ can keep up to 10 floor plans and their names using Imprint Smart Mapping, which allows it to identify rooms to clean them more efficiently. It also integrates with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning tasks, and it can control your robot cleaner amazon through the app or voice.

The i7+ is more efficient and more agile in our tests than the eufy RoboVac G30. It also cleaned large pet hair pieces from all surfaces, including carpeting. The main advantage it has over the Eufy is its self-emptying garbage bin that removes major maintenance sources and reduces the cost of maintenance.

We were also awestruck by the i7+’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We used these services to instruct the robot to start, stop, or pause cleaning sessions as well as move around the room and to vacuum a particular area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ to these services. After being connected, to give voice commands to the i7+, like "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home app also provides options to manage the i7+'s preferences and monitoring its performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

In a world filled with vacuums with cords that look like minivans or buses, this small Dyson model feels like a sports car. It has the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum in many households however, it can also fit nicely on a coffee table or on shelves where you can wave it around like a magic wand.

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 the Wand. This is a huge improvement over older Dysons, which take a long time to charge and are a pain to store.

The main drawback of the V10 is its limited run time. The claims of its marketing that it can provide up to 60 minutes of running time are misleading, as CR's testing shows. This is an average not an extraordinary time for a battery-powered cordless vac. It's enough time to clean the average-sized home but not enough to reach every spot. (A second pass generally works). This doesn't mean that this model doesn't have its advantages It's lighter and more agile than older cordless Dysons and its vacuuming efficiency is better on carpets with low pile.

4. iRobot Roomba 694

The 694 is a standard robot vacuum that's a great option for those who don't have a lot of money to invest in the latest model of robot.

Its flat front allows it to reach corners and edges of walls.

Its intelligent navigation system makes use of iAdapt to avoid obstacles and navigate your home, but it's not equipped with the mapping capability of more sophisticated models like our top selections such as the i3+ EVO and the j7+ series. Because of this, it is sometimes stuck on things like phone cords or furniture that isn't in good condition, and often runs out of battery power before making it back to its base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways to the Roomba 694 because it has less parts that require regular cleaning, comes with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtering system, has a lower recurring cost and has more advanced automation capabilities and can better move itself.

The app provides a range of options to customize your robotic floor scrubber cleaner. These include virtual barriers, mopping levels and behavior customizations, docking frequency settings and many more. The app is easy to navigate and use as are other Samsung devices.

In our tests during our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors, and it cleaned up 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It didn't do very well in avoiding taller objects like cords or socks. This was disappointing. It's also a bit more expensive than the other models we've tested which could be a deterrent for some buyers.

The app allows you to access the camera onboard of the smart vacuum. You can also set up live streaming from the robot's cleaning zone. This feature lets you check in on pets or the kids if you're away from home. The dustbin and the filter can be cleaned to ensure the quick and easy cleaning.

They have an extra-wide cleaning path and dust bins that are 2X larger than the competition. This lets them keep the area clean for longer. They also come with two side sweepers that can be used to clean along edges and corners.
