The Best Robot Vacuum 2023

Robot vacuums can make cleaning your floors a breeze. The best ones will remove dirt, crumbs, shed pet hair and more.

While they can't perform like a regular vacuum cleaner, they have improved a lot in the last few years. They're smarter, more powerful, and (marginally better) at avoiding chair leg.

Smart Mapping

Utilizing navigational tools like sensors and lasers, robot vacuum cleaners move around your home, suctioning pet hair, crumbs, and dirt into their dustbins from hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate, as well as low-pile carpets and area rugs. The most advanced robots can map your home to help them keep track of where they've been and avoid hitting obstructions like chairs, sofas and bookshelves you might want to keep out of your way. You can also use the smartphone's app to set up zones that prohibit your robot not to enter rooms it doesn't want to clean.

Robots equipped with advanced mapping capabilities, such as the Roomba j7, use processor-powered cameras and onboard sensors to see and [empty] avoid obstacles. This means that you can leave the robot to perform an efficient cleaning without having to continually be checking the status of your floorplan, or manually remove obstacles from the robot's path. The TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus is a robot that combines mopping and vacuuming, which means it's a complete solution to keep your home clean. It has a powerful suction system and works with Alexa or Google Assistant. It also comes with a handy self-emptying feature that can be used as a security camera.

Roborock Q Revo, a cheaper robot that vacuums, mop and functions as a robotic trashcan is a great choice for homes without the need for more advanced features. However, it has some disadvantages in comparison to the Roomba J7 and S8. For instance, it uses only one rubber brush instead of the dual roller brushes that the other models have and it may not be as effective in collecting larger objects such as shoes and socks. It doesn't have AI obstacle avoidance so it is possible that you will need to eliminate the clutter prior to running.

The iLife A4s Pro is a basic robot that's perfect for those who value simplicity and competence. It's less than $200, and offers strong, consistent suction for hardwood as well as carpets with low pile and avoids tangles with rug threads. It's not the most advanced however it's a good choice. It's also compatible with voice commands, which means you can set it up on schedule or even set up zones that are not allowed to enter using the app.

Object Detection

Object-avoidance technologies can impact the ability of a robot vacuum navigate through your home. Some of the models we've reviewed have sensors (or even cameras) that help your robo-cleaner avoid common traps for robots such as cords, toys for kids and pet spills. iRobot's Roomba J7 is among the best robot vacuum cleaner for pet hair examples of this kind of technology in action. It also comes with a sleek clean base that emptys the trash bin automatically so that you don't need to.

We tested this robot cleaner in a huge home and were awed by how quickly and thoroughly floors were cleaned without becoming a mess. It has impressive maneuverability and can get to places that stand-up vacuums are unable to go, including under beds and sofas. It also has great suction, a huge 500 ml dustbin and an over two hours of runtime. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to create no-go zones within the app and its object detection is a little hit-or-miss and we did see it occasionally bump into objects during our tests (resulting in a few toppled vase).

It's important to keep it in mind that, no matter how clever the robot vacuum is it isn't going to replace your regular upright or canister vacuum. It's not equipped to clean carpets with a lot of dirt. It can't reach the ceiling or other difficult-to-access areas. But for keeping your floors clean of pet hair, crumbs and other dander, it can be an ideal addition to your cleaning routine.

The majority of robot vacuums have sensors that aid them to navigate around obstacles and stairs. They usually know the moment they're likely to fall down a staircase, for instance, and they can also detect areas of clutter and move around them. If you're not careful your robot-cleaner could become stuck on a cord, shoe or any other object.

Certain robot vacuums come with mapping capabilities that permit them to create an precise floor plan of your home and pinpoint themselves. They can then identify which areas they have already cleaned and save time by not having to clean the same areas. This allows them to continue where they left off if they have to return to the charging dock.

Self-Emptying

A vacuum cleaner that can automatically empty its dust bin once it is full is a great convenience. Some models also have a window so you can see when the bin needs to be emptied. This is an excellent option for anyone with pets or children who tend to create more mess than adults.

Most robot vacuums allow you to choose whether the machine is controlled by the use of a remote, an app on your smartphone or voice commands. They also have a variety of digital functions, including scheduling and maintenance suggestions. If you set the right settings, you can schedule your robot to clean at a regular time or on a weekly basis. You can also program it to map and clean certain areas of your house.

The most intelligent robot vacuums we've tested come with sensors and cameras which enable them to create maps for your home. They can be saved to the robot's app so you can easily navigate to specific rooms or areas of your home. Some of these systems can even remember furniture placement and even note the transitions from hard floors to carpet.

The most effective smart vacuums will save you time by automatically mapping and cleaning entire homes and keeping detailed records of cleaning sessions. You can access these records using an app for your tablet or Pat Tripp phone. Most can also connect to your smart speaker so you can control them using voice commands.

TP-Link Tapo RV30+ is self-emptying robot that provides great performance at a reasonable cost. It can clean both floors and sweep up pet hair and other debris from rugs made of wood and low pile. It's not as sophisticated as other robots we've reviewed but it does what it does very efficiently.

The tank-like wheels on this model allow it to glide right over the high transitions between rooms as well as obstacles such as tangled cords for devices that can cause problems for other robots. It has a large bin that doesn't need to be manually emptied and is able to recharge itself and resume cleaning if it runs out power. It's more expensive than the other robotic vacuums we've tested however it combines powerful suction with straightforward controls to give you a good value.

Voice Control

The majority of robot vacuums can be controlled by a remote control or an app that runs on smartphones. Some also connect to smart speakers such as Amazon Echo or Google Home, allowing you to run them using voice commands. This is helpful when your robot has to be cleaned and you have pets or children who could be disruptive.

Most models also include an automatic mode that functions without any input from you. You can start the robot by pressing a button on the app or on the robot. They can be programmed to clean according to an established schedule, making them ideal for those who need to set and forget.

Certain models that are more expensive have a feature that makes use of artificial intelligence to detect and scan obstructions within your home. These models can recognize things such as power cords, stairs and furniture, and they can also discern between different kinds of floors. This can help them avoid such hazards, which is especially useful in homes with a lot of rugs and other flooring materials that are difficult for robots to navigate.

Other robots are more basic in their object detection abilities, but they are still able to do the job. One example is the TP-Link Tapo RV30 plus, that has the sleek elegant, easy-to-use design of a WiFi hub but offers the performance of a top robot. It has a powerful suction and can handle dirt and debris on medium-pile carpets and hardwood floors. Its short, squat side brushes are less likely to become tangled in stray shoes and cords and its hybrid roller brush uses bristles and plastic instead of a traditional bristle brush for better cleaning.

This model is pricier than other mid-range models, but it does everything you require from a robot vacuum and mop. It can create and map a cleaning schedule as well as virtual keep-out zones and is compatible with voice assistants. It doesn't have the same room-scanning and obstacles-avoiding features like the j7 or the s8.
