The Best Robot Vacuum 2023

Robot vacuums can make cleaning your floors a breeze. The best ones nab tracked-in dirt, crumbs, shed pet hair, and more.

Although they're unable to do the same job as a regular vacuum however, they've come a long way in the past few years. They're smarter, more powerful and (marginally) better at avoiding chairs.

Smart Mapping

Robot vacuum cleaners employ navigation tools such as sensors and lasers to navigate around your home. They remove pet hair, crumbs, and dirt from floors made of hard materials like tile, wood and laminate, as well as carpets and area rugs with low piles. The most advanced robots can map your house, to help them remember where they have been and avoid bumping into obstructions like chairs, sofas and bookshelves you might want to keep out of the way. You can make use of your smartphone's app to set up no-go zones, which tell your robot to stay out of rooms it doesn't want to clean.

Robots with advanced mapping abilities like the Roomba J7, make use of an onboard camera and processor-powered intelligence to avoid and detect obstacles. Then, you can allow it to perform the job without having to constantly monitor the state of your floorplan, or manually move obstacles from the robot's way. The TP Link Tapo RV30 Plus is a robot which includes vacuuming and mopping. It's the perfect solution to keep your home tidy. It has a great suction, and it is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. It is self-emptying and can also function as a security camera.

Roborock Q Revo, a less expensive robot that vacuums, mops and is also a trashcan that is robotic, is a good option for homes without the need for more advanced features. However, it has a few disadvantages when compared to Roomba S8 and j7. For instance, it uses only one rubber brush instead of the dual roller brushes that the other models have, so it might not be as effective in collecting larger objects like shoes and socks. It doesn't come with AI obstacle avoidance, which means you may need to clear obstructions before you run.

The iLife A4s Pro is a basic robot that's perfect for those who value simplicity and proficiency. It costs less than $200 and provides consistent, strong suction for hardwood as well as carpets that are low-pile, while avoiding tangles with rug threads. It doesn't come with any advanced features, but it does the job well. It also works with voice commands. You can set it up to run a program, or create no-go zones using the app.

Object Detection

Object-avoidance technology can make or break a robot vacuum's ability to navigate your home. Certain models in this list have sensors (or cameras) to assist your robot vacuum in avoiding common traps for robots, such as cords, toys for kids and pet messes. iRobot's Roomba j7 is one of the best examples of this type of technology in action. It also features a chic clean base that emptys the garbage bin automatically so you don't have to.

During our tests the robot, we set the cleaner up in a big house and were awed by the speed and efficiency with which it cleared floors without getting sluggish. It's very mobile and can reach areas that the majority of stand-up vacuums are unable to, such as under beds and couches. It comes with a 500-ml dustbin, excellent suction and a time of over two hours. However, it lacks the ability to set no-go zones in the app and its detection of objects is somewhat erratic which means that we saw it occasionally bump into objects during our tests (resulting in a few tipped vases).

It's important to keep it in mind that, regardless of how intelligent the robot vacuum is, it will not substitute for your upright or canister vacuum. It's not equipped to handle heavily dirty carpets, it can't get into every crevice and it won't reach your ceilings or other hard-to-reach areas. But for keeping your floors clear of crumbs, pet hair and other particles it's a good addition to your routine of cleaning.

The majority of robot vacuums have sensors that allow them to navigate around obstacles and stairs. They can usually sense when they're about to fall down the stairs for instance, and they can also detect areas of clutter and maneuver around them. Nevertheless, if you're not careful, your robo-cleaner might become stuck on a cord or stray shoe and require help.

Some robot vacuums are equipped with mapping capabilities, which allow them to make an precise floor mopping plan of your home and locate themselves. They will then be able to identify the areas they have cleaned and can reduce time by not having to clean the same spots. This allows them to resume where they left off, should they need to return to the charging dock.

Self-Emptying

A robot vacuum that automatically empties its bin of dust when it's full is a great convenience. Some models also have a window so you can see when the bin needs to be emptied. This is a fantastic feature for those with pets or children who tend to make more mess than adults.

Most robot vacuums allow you to choose whether the machine is operated with an app, a remote on your smartphone or voice commands. They also come with a variety of digital features, such as maintenance and scheduling. You can program your robot to clean your house on an annual or a regular basis using the correct settings. You can also program the robot to clean and map out specific areas of your home.

The most intelligent robot vacuums we've tested are equipped with cameras and smart sensors, which allow them to create maps of your home. These can be saved in the robot's application so that 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 between hard floors and carpet.

Smart vacuums help you save time by cleaning entire homes automatically and keeping detailed records of the cleaning sessions that have occurred previously. You can access these records using an app that you can install on your tablet or phone. Most can also connect to your smart speaker, so you can control them via voice commands.

TP-Link's Tapo RV30 Plus is an affordable, self-emptying robotic vacuum that provides high performance for the money. It is able to clean floors and sweep pet hair and other messes from low-pile and hardwood rugs. It's not as advanced as other robots we've reviewed but it does its job very well.

This model's tank-like wheels allow it to glide over obstacles such as cords that are tangled and high transitions between rooms. It also comes with a large dust bin that doesn't have to be empty manually, and it's also able to recharge and resume cleaning when it's power-depleted. It's a bit more costly than other robotic vacuums that we've tested however it combines powerful suction with simple controls to provide a fantastic value.

Voice Control

Most onson robot vacuum vacuums are controlled by a remote control or an app on a smartphone. Certain robot vacuums are controlled via voice commands using smart speakers, such as Amazon Echo or Google Home. This is helpful when your robot has to be cleaned and you have pets or small children that could interfere.

Many models have an automatic mode which works without your input. Simply press a button on the robot or within the app, and it will start taking in food particles, and pet hair. These robots can be programmed to clean according to a schedule, making them ideal for those who simply want to set and forget.

Some of the more expensive models have an advanced feature that makes use of artificial intelligence to look around your home and identify obstacles. These models can identify things like power cords, stairs, and furniture, and mopping they can also discern between different kinds of flooring. This helps them avoid these hazards which is particularly useful in larger homes with lots of carpets and flooring materials that are difficult for robots to navigate.

Other robots have more basic object detection capabilities however they still manage to complete the task. One example is the TP-Link Tapo RV30 plus, that has the sleek and easy-to-use appearance of a wifi hub but offers the performance of a top bot. It is extremely suction-driven and is able to remove dirt and debris from hardwood floors and rugs with medium pile with ease. Its short and squat side brush is less likely to get stuck in cords or shoes. The hybrid roller brush, which uses bristles, as well as plastic, provides an efficient cleaning.

This model is pricier than other mid-range robots, but it does everything you'd expect from mopping and vacuuming robots. It can map and create a cleaning schedule, has virtual keep-out zones, and is compatible with voice assistants. It does not have the same room-scanning and obstacles-avoiding features as the j7 and the s8.
