Top Rated Robot Vacuums

A robot vacuum will keep your floors tidy enough to cut down on the frequency of manual hoovering. Pick a robot vacuum that has good navigation, has the ability to clean corners and stairs and has a large bin that needs to be emptying every so often.

There are models that clean and charge on their own, a feature that may be important for people with children or pets. Many of the best performers in our tests have excellent ability to overcome obstacles.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling i3 EVO. They differ only in the fact that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. That makes the i3+ a good option for those who want an entirely automated, hands-free cleaning experience but don't mind taking the time to empty their robot vac's trash bin when it is full.

Both robots are good in removing dirt and dust particles on carpets and hard floors, and they can easily move around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates intelligent maps of your home that aid the i3+ EVO navigate and clean in a manner that maximizes efficiency. The i3+ doesn't feature obstacle avoidance features like the i7+ or any other top-rated robots that we test. It can be stuck on power cords or socks, and may have trouble navigating between different surfaces like rug and hardwood.

iRobot suggests that you clean the area around the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or other clutter it might come across. It is also recommended to keep the dustbin and filter clear to avoid getting blocked. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is low it returns to the docking station and emptys the dirt into the docking station’s external dustbin. It then continues cleaning from where it started. The battery's life span is approximately an hour and a half of continuous usage. It takes 3 hours to fully charge.

2. Roomba by iRobot

The iRobot i7+ is a top model from iRobot’s flagship line and comes with the latest features. It's self-charging, self-navigating, and the most important feature of all -- it comes with a self-emptying dustbin that eliminates one of the primary sources of maintenance for any robot vacuum.

The Roomba i7+ can remember up to 10 floor plans and their names thanks to Imprint Smart Mapping, an application that allows it to map rooms so it can clean them more efficiently. It also works with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning jobs, and you can direct your robot using the app or voice.

In our testing the i7+ was faster and more maneuverable than our top Rated robot vacuum choice and the eufy RoboVac G30, and it took large pieces of pet hair from all surface kinds including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy the dust bin is self-emptying, which eliminates a major source of maintenance and lowers the amount of time spent cleaning.

We were also impressed with the i7+’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot to begin, stop, or pause cleaning sessions and also to move around the room, and to vacuum a particular area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ to these services. We were able, once 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 settings and monitoring its performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

This tiny Dyson model is a sports car in a sea of vacuums powered by cordless that resemble minivans and buses. It is powerful enough to replace a traditional stand-up vacuum in the majority of homes, but also small enough to fit on the bookcase or coffee table.

The V10 is powered by a Lithium-ion battery with 7 cells of energy that can provide power without fading for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filter system traps allergens and releases clean air back into your home. Its specialized cleaning head drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpets to trap large dust and crumbs. It comes with three suction modes that can be adjusted to the task. It can quickly change from floor vacuum to handheld vacuum and vice versa.

The model comes with a dock which charges the Dyson to 100% within 3.5 hours. It also provides easy access to 2 attachments as well as the handheld. This is a major improvement over previous Dysons that require a long charge and are difficult to store.

The main issue with the V10 is its limited run time. Its claims on the market that it can provide up to 60 minutes of running time are misleading as CR's tests show. This is a common battery-powered cordless vacuum's running time. It's still enough time to get rid of the majority of a home that's average size, but not quite long enough to get every single area (though an additional run-through often does the trick). This model has its own advantages however: it's lighter and more maneuverable than older Dysons cordless models, and its vacuuming ability is significantly better for carpet floors with low pile.

4. iRobot Roomba 694"

The 694 is a standard robot vacuum that's an excellent choice for those who don't have a lot of money to invest in the latest model of affordable robot vacuum. It's capable of sucking up a variety of kinds of debris in our tests, and it often passes over the same areas multiple times to get a really thorough clean. Its flat front side helps it reach into corners and along the walls' edges and walls, which is a nice touch.

Its intelligent navigation system makes use of iAdapt technology to steer clear of obstacles and navigate your home. It's not equipped with the capabilities for mapping of more advanced models, like our top picks, the i3+EVO and the j7+ Series. This means that it may get stuck on things like phone cords or furniture that isn't as sturdy, and frequently runs out of battery power before returning to its base.

The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in all aspects, as it has fewer components that need regular cleaning 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 moving itself. It also has a bigger dustbin and charges quicker.

The eufy RoboVac X8 has a superior battery longevity than the Roomba 694. It also has physical boundaries strips and can be controlled with your smartphone's voice assistant. It is also more durable, has a more powerful motor, and works better on both bare floors and carpets with a low pile, as well as providing a wider array of automation features.

5. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Samsung is a brand you see on all sorts of electronic gadgets for your home, so it comes as no surprise that they're one of the most popular mop and cheap robot vacuum vacuum manufacturers. Their Jet Bot AI+ is loaded with cutting-edge onboard intelligence technology for navigation and obstacle avoidance.

The app offers a variety of options for customizing your robotic cleaner. This includes mopping levels, virtual barriers and behavior modifications docking frequency settings and more. The app is easy to use and understand similar to other Samsung devices.

In our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors. It removed 86 percent of dog hair (on carpet). It did not do well in avoiding taller items like socks or cords. This was disappointing. It's also more expensive than some of the other models we tested which could be a deal-breaker for certain shoppers.

The app allows you to access the camera onboard of the smart vacuum. You can also create live streaming from the robot's cleaning area. This feature lets you to check in on your children or pets when you are away. The filter and the dustbin can be washed for an easy, quick clean-up. The Jet Bot AI+ comes with a self-emptying clean station, which helps to keep the robot's bin clear and optimizes suction power.

6. Black & Decker Robot Vacuum

Unlike other robotic vacuum cleaner sale vacuums, which are designed for both hard floors and carpets, Black and Decker robots are specifically designed for hard floors. The robots have an extra-wide cleaning path, as well as a dustbin that is 2X bigger than the competitors. This lets them clean the area for longer. They also have two side sweepers that can be used to clean around corners and edges. The POWERSERIES model includes AutoSense which adjusts the power level based on whether it is collecting dirt on the surface or embedded dirt. It also comes with a smart app that lets you see the virtual map and control the functions and schedules. Plus, you can monitor the status of the vacuum's battery and then return it to its dock for charging at the push of the button. The app allows you to customize the lights on top of the vacuum with different colors so you can easily tell what areas it's focusing on or where it's stuck.

The app also makes it simple to manually steer the robot in the event of need. My living room rug, for instance, has a darkly-colored border which could cause a problem for other robots. The HRV 425BL however was able to continue to move across the border without registering the cliff. The ability to program a weekly cleaning schedule for each week is a time-saving benefit.
