Best Rated Robot Vacuum Cleaner
While robot vacuums are excellent in keeping your floors spotless but they aren't able to replace a large-sized automated vacuum cleaner. Even the best robots can struggle to penetrate carpets or rugs, and can often get tangled in cords and socks.
Staying on top of routine maintenance (replacing filters cutting hair that is tangled from brushes and emptying the dust bin) will help your robot last longer.
Battery Life
Most robot vacuums are able to handle a few cleaning sessions without having to be charged. The second-placed model in our overall selections, the Ecovacs Deebot Q30S Combo comes with a battery capable of lasting up to 180 minutes (3,230 square feet) of cleaning time on one charge. This will be more than enough for the majority of small homes with the combination of hard floors and carpets with low pile or larger homes with rooms that are roughly the same size.
A longer battery life means that the robot will spend less time charging and more time cleaning. It's worth opting for a model with a self-emptying dust bin, since those models are more efficient in cleaning up debris and returning to the dock to recharge. It is also essential to empty or replace the filter and wipe down cameras and sensors on a regular basis so they are able to see your home clearly.
Smart mapping technology is a beneficial feature, as it allows you to program your robot to ensure it only cleans certain rooms or areas it's likely to crash into furniture or other obstacles. This feature is also helpful for ensuring that your robot is able to get under and around furniture such as beds, sofas and other large objects. Some cheap robovacs have boundary strips that you can use to block off specific areas. Other models of higher quality rely on sensors and cameras.
Even the most powerful robot vacuums cannot replace a traditional vacuum for heavy-duty large-pile dirt and other debris. It's advisable to keep a conventional power vac in reserve for those tasks, and to schedule robot vacuums regularly for light cleaning throughout the week.
Navigation
A robot must be able to navigate around your home without getting stuck or crashing into objects like screws made of metal, loose pet hair, or sand. In our tests, we use an instrument to track the robot as it travels through a multi-room lab and determine its surroundings. We also examine how the robot avoids obstacles such as power cords, furniture legs and pet waste.
The most advanced robots can map out multiple floors and can recognize landmarks such as windows and doors. The most advanced robots like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra have a dual sensor navigation system which uses an LIDAR to map out a room and a structured-light camera mounted on the front to spot objects in real-time. The S8 can evade obstacles such as power cords and legs of furniture. It also has the ability to store up to four floor maps.
The most affordable models use bump sensors, which aren't as precise. In my testing they cut right through cords, dog poop, and even the shoes that were placed in the middle of the room. The best value pick, the Dreametech D10+, is an exception to this. It is a great carpet and hard floor pickup, good hair and tangle pickup and an auto empty score.
A large onboard dustbin, that doesn't need to be empty manually, is also a feature that is essential. If you have models that mop the floor, this water tank will hold enough water for several weeks of cleaning sessions. Karcher's RCV 5 is a good illustration of this. It has a wide enough footprint to fit under furniture but not so large that it is unable to fit into the nook between your toilet and bathtub.
Apps
Robot vacuums are a lot like their upright counterparts, and it takes a lot of tech to get them up and running at speed. The result is a pretty mature market that is brimming with options. But even the best robot vacuums models require interaction with their users, particularly when cleaning schedules are being planned as well as establishing a home floor plan and establishing virtual barriers.
To help reduce this kind of interaction, look for a model that uses its own app to recognize the location of your home, and save those settings for future use. This will allow the robot vacuum to continue where it started on subsequent runs rather than having the mapping process restarted each time.
It's also worth keeping an eye out for a vacuum that comes with spot or zone cleaning modes. These allow you to tell the robot vacuum to concentrate on a specific area for example, like under the dining room table after a big family meal. You can do this by using the app or voice commands.
Many models also provide objects avoidance. It allows the robot, when it spots objects in its path such as a box shoes or a crate containing dog toys, to coach itself around. This prevents it from crashing into things that might damage its sensors or cause jams.
Some of the most expensive models we've tested come with this feature. However, they typically rely on bump sensors to accomplish this, and they weren't always able to avoid things in my test homes.
Pet Hair
Choose a vacuum cleaner that is specifically designed to remove hair from pets. The most effective models will feature a high suction, a brush which prevents tangling and an automatic vacuum emptying mechanism. Certain models can detect levels of dirt and adjust cleaning intensity. They can also detect items that aren't part of your flooring, such as furniture toys, food bowls, toys, cords, and more.
Some robot cleaning machine vacuums include pet-friendly features, like a water dispenser that can be used to mop floors, and an HEPA filter that can reduce allergens like pet dander. They may also offer the option of a quieter operation, which will reduce the amount of sound generated during cleaning sessions.
Robot vacuums that include mapping capabilities are an excellent option for pet owners, as they are designed to analyze your home and develop plans of attack in accordance with the layout and the obstacles in each room. For instance, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot cleaning machine Vacuum is a smart vacuum with an impressive ability to map a room and navigate around furniture and other obstructions with gyroscope and accelerometer smart sensors that work together to learn the layout of your space.
Other advanced models allow you to define no-go zones that are areas that the robot is expected to avoid, such as items that are fragile or pet feeding areas--by altering settings via an app. This feature is particularly useful for households with busy schedules, as you can schedule cleaning times without having to be present in the space in which the vacuum is. Spot cleaning is a great feature. You can direct the vacuum cleaner to clean a space that is especially dirty or filled with pet hair.
Dust Bin
If you don't want something small, go for a model with a large bin or even a self-emptying dustbin. We recommend picking one with an enormous bin or a bin that automatically emptys. The first will let you keep up with emptying your bin often enough to ensure its efficiency. The second will save you time and effort by automatically emptying the contents into an internal container after every cleaning.
Whatever the size of your home Most robots are able to get up to and around furniture, and almost all can recognize and navigate around household obstacles like shoes, loose cords and dog puke. Find models with smart mapping capabilities. This allows them to "learn the layout of your house and devise a an efficient route.
Some models offer spot cleaning. This lets you select an area of your house for thorough cleaning. In our tests, we discovered that the top models can remove fine particles such as sand, baking soda, orzo, screws made of metal and pet hair, in addition to heavier debris like oatmeal orzo, and metal screws.
The brand you choose will determine the longevity of the robot. most robots can last for a long time and continue to perform so long as you maintain them with regular maintenance, such as cleaning hair that has become tangled from brushes and emptying the dust bin after each use, and wiping down sensors and cameras when required. The most efficient robots tend to be more modular, which makes them easier and less costly to repair or replace parts such as wheels and batteries when they get worn out.
