Bagless Robotic Sweepers

Some robot vacuums, like Scuttle Bug and RoRo have been adopted as family pets. They even play hide and seek with their owners!

Robot vacuums and mops are self-cleaning devices that you can set up. With only minimal maintenance such as emptying the bins and cleaning the brushes - they'll be working for many long time to be.

1. Powerful suction

Bagless robotic sweepers have suction capabilities comparable to traditional vacuum cleaners. They come with a variety of features that let them handle different types of floors and the sizes of homes. The top robots allow you to schedule cleaning for specific rooms and establish boundaries around areas you do or don't want it to clean. You can use an app to modify the intensity of your robot's cleaning and see its route as it moves.

Another feature that many users like is the capability to alter the direction in which your robot sweeps and the point at which it begins. Based on the layout of your home, this can be especially useful in areas with a lot of doorways and corners. A lot of robots have a docking system that allows you to swap out reusable dustbins or disposable ones, and then recharge the robot between use. Some have self-emptying bases that eliminate the need to purchase disposal bags.

The primary drawback of robotic bagless robot vacuums sweepers is their expensive price. This is especially applicable to models with self-emptying bases, which can add significant cost to the overall price of the device. However they are becoming increasingly common and are an excellent alternative for homeowners who are tired of manually vacuuming their floors or battling with pet hair.

The Eufy 11s is an excellent vacuum cleaner that is ideal for general cleaning and can get into all the corners and crevices of my house. However, it has some notable shortcomings in terms of cleaning pet hair. While it has an anti-tangle brush that shreds hair and cuts it up, I still found myself constantly picking up and rearranging dog and cat hair. The robot also seems to be stuck on carpets frequently and easily get bogged down in soft, high-pile fibers.

Some of the more expensive models I tested (such as the Shark Matrix Auto-Emptying Vacuum) were superior in pet hair collection and navigation. Their dual dustbins that can be switched to take in different amounts of debris they are more efficient in collecting fur and are easier to empty. They can also fit into corners much more easily than circular robots due to of their square-ish design. They also have excellent object recognition and can eat up Cheerios and a heap of oatmeal, while effortlessly maneuvering fake dog turds and lamp cords.

2. Adaptive cleaning

The ability to adapt to changes in the environment is one of the most important features you'll see on any robot vacuum. This is especially true for a bagless model. For instance, your robo vac will learn what type of floors that you have in each room, if they're hard or soft, and how to maneuver around furniture and other obstacles like stairs. The more information it has, the better it can cleanse your entire house.

A robotic cleaner that is smart can also reach into corners where traditional brooms and dustpans won't, and also under beds and other high places that require getting down on your hands and knees. Depending on the model that you choose, some robots can even be programmed to clean certain rooms or spaces at specific time of the day.

The most effective robot vacuums will collect tiny particles like sand or baking soda heavier debris, such as piles of orzo or oatmeal pasta metal screws and nuts or fluffy items like pet hair. They also can be able to get into tight spots where a stick broom might be difficult to reach. And they're often quieter than an upright or canister vacuum and can be set to run in the background while you read or watch television.

Some models can sweep and mop your floors, and also vacuum. These robots require special care. You will need to remove the mopping pad and wash it (and let it dry) before reinstalling it. It is also recommended to wash and rinse the filter (and let it dry) frequently if your maker suggests it.

Most mop models are able to be used for a number of times before having to be replaced, but you'll want to make sure that you're buying a robot with an enormous water tank as well as mop pad capacity (the Dreametech W10, for instance, which earned an award in a previous Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning and Organizing Award, has five gallon of water and can accommodate up to a dozen mopping pads). Some of the most advanced models have a built-in charging dock that can both fill the tank and empty the bin, allowing you to enjoy an entirely hands-free experience.

3. Efficient

There's no other household appliance that has changed in the same speed as the robot vacuum. In the beginning, they were a mess of overpriced devices that sat on the steps and sucked up with pet hair and cat litter, but now there's an array of models at every price point that have self-emptying bins, mapping functions mopping functions, and many more.

The robotic vacuum has been enhanced by adding better obstacle avoidance. This is the ability to identify and skirt around problem-causing obstacles such as tangled cords, furniture legs, and piles of dog waste (catch that hall-of-fame CNET article for more details on this important topic). Even the most powerful robot vacuums can't keep them out of sight every day. This means they could get agitated and end up snagging or scattering dog waste all over your floors.

Advanced robots make use of gyro, camera, radar, and laser (laser distance sensors or LDS) guided system to draw out your floor plan to ensure that they are clean thoroughly and not missing any space. They also have the ability to keep track of and update multiple floor plans. This makes them more efficient and decreases the chance that they'll need to spend many hours going back and forth to clean the same spots repeatedly.

If you're looking for a true set-it-and-forget robot vacuum that will do the dirty work without assistance from you, consider the best smart robot vacuum we've tested to date: the iRobot+. It was the most efficient robot vacuum we've tested for mapping the virtual boundaries, and eliminating obstacles.

If you're interested in saving some money and don't want to invest in smart features such as mapping or a self-emptying garbage bin, take a look at our budget choice for this year: the Eufy 11S. It works well on flooring with a low pile and hardwood floors and cleans up cat litter, pet hair and dust. The onboard dust bin can hold up to 45 days of dirt, and when it gets full, it automatically returns to its dock for emptying.

4. Easy to maintain

Robotic vacuums and mops require cleaning periodically, just like any other household appliance. However, how often you clean depends on the model and the needs of your household. You'll have to empty the trash regularly and clean the brushes or wheels, depending on the robot model. The maintenance guide that comes with most robots will show you how to keep it maintained.

For instance, you can rinse the bin and clean it using a moist (not wet but not dripping) melamine sponge to remove any dirt that's caked on. You can also clean the wheels and filters of your robot vacuum to ensure that it runs smoothly. Nasrallah suggests that you inspect the wheels at least once per week to ensure that they're free of threads, hairs, or any other debris that could get caught in the machine and cause it to malfunction. Also, you should clean the brushes beneath your robot including the left and right drive wheel, and the sidebrush every month. This will keep them free of any debris.

Some models can do double-duty as robot mops that are automated, which can add mopping to your home cleaning routine. If you are planning to use this feature, make sure you thoroughly vacuum-proof the room before turning on your robot to mop. This means that the robot won't be dragged around by pet toys or socks that aren't secured.

Smart mapping technology aids the robot learn the layout of rooms and allows it to clean them in a systematic manner. Certain models let you create areas that the robot won't clean. This is a great option if your children tend to strew their shoes in the hallway.

To determine the best bagless robot vacuum and mop (more info here) for your home, Real Simple consulted experts such as Forrest McCall, co-owner of the blog Mama Needs a Project; Alvin Pullins, CEO and founder of Nerd in the House; and Michele Jones, associate brand marketing director for ECOVACS Americas. The experts reviewed the models based on setup, effectiveness and noise level, features, maneuverability, and ease of maintenance.
