Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Robots

Robot vacuums employ instruments for navigation, such as sensors, lasers and cameras to make sense of your surroundings, clean efficiently and avoid obstacles. Some robot vacuums can even mop and self-empty dustbins!

Many connect to apps or digital voice assistants to allow hands-free cleaning. Others include features like boundary strips and auto-empty docks to reduce the work you have to complete.

1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra

Roborock's most popular robot vacuum cleaner doesn't fail to impress. It comes with more advanced features, but its primary selling point is that it can effectively clean your home. It can identify the types of flooring and stains and also zones that aren't allowed. It does this by using sensors and a smart map to evaluate its surroundings. This allows it to decide what it should do at any given time and you don't have to press buttons repeatedly or adjusting multiple modes.

It can mop like it does all Roborock vacuums. This is an excellent addition to the Roborock range, as it makes the robovac even superior. The mop head is extremely efficient, and it can be switched to a scrub mode for cleaning more difficult dirt. The robovac also has the ability to climb small thresholds with its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensors.

The app is easy to use and lets you modify settings. You can also set up rooms for the robot to vacuum. Its voice assistant, Rocky, is very responsive and responds to commands with clarity. You can use it to give a list of commands or request it to end an ongoing task. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Matter-certified for Apple HomeKit integration.

The S8 MaxV Ultra has 5200mAh battery that can run for up 180 minutes before returning to the dock to recharge. The battery is automatically cleaned and cleaned at the end of every run. This helps reduce the time to recharge.

1. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuum cleaner is a powerful machine that excels in both vacuuming and mopping. This vacuum cleaner has powerful suction, innovative features and is pet-friendly. It's a great choice for busy families. Its advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and custom options make it one of the top robot vacuum cleaners on the market.

This robot vacuum uses an RGB camera to map its surroundings and recognize obstacles using artificial intelligence. This will prevent it from sucking up your cat's toy or a cable that is lying on the floor and damaging your flooring. This feature lets you mark specific areas the robot shouldn't clean.

Dreame X40 is also excellent in mowing and sweeping, because of its unique dual brush system which removes dirt from corners. It can even clean baseboards, which makes it a perfect option for those with kids and pets. This vacuum is easy to use and set up, with an app that provides a variety customization options.

1. Eufy X10

If you're looking to buy a high-end all-rounder, the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It does everything you could ask a robot vacuum and mop to accomplish, and all at a reasonable cost.

This model can handle floor cleaning tasks with no assistance, such as sweeping, mopping and dusting. Its base station is a little larger than some rivals and requires 50cm of space on either side and 150cm in front but for those who have the space it's capable of offering the complete hands-free cleaning.

Its smart navigation technology is able to follow the design of your home, while storing and utilizing the information within its internal memory, without ever transferring it to the cloud or another external source. The X10 can store the layout of rooms using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also extremely effective, allowing it to recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and replenish the battery on a regular basis which is a great feature. However, I discovered that the X10 could get stuck on some thicker rug, and then crash loudly over them and occasionally pushing its front brush into the rugs.

This is a great robo-vacuum and mop however, it's let down by the confusing app. Eufy Clean's app is not as user-friendly as the iRobot App, which guides you through the process of setting up your robot up and teaches you how to use. It's still a great option however, and provides the possibility of customization for those looking to make the most out of its capabilities.

1. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution to home cleaning. It is a combination of the power of a vacuum cleaner and mop. It has a unique two-station design structure that allows it to supply mopping water and collect dust within the same machine, which results in a complete automation of the cleaning process.

It's equipped with all the standard sensors that are found on top-of-the line robot vacuums, allowing it to create the map of your home in real-time, while making sure to avoid obstacles, and also recognizing different types of carpets and hard flooring. A front-facing AI camera is also included which makes it easier for you to navigate around your home and find areas that aren't accessible to most robotic vacuums.

This powerful robotic device is outfitted with an impressive suction motor capable of removing pet hair dirt and other debris both from hard floors and low pile carpeting. The app lets you modify the robot to meet your requirements. You can create your own cleaning routines and adjust vacuuming and mopping powers.

The mop is extremely effective. It comes with a RevoRoll roller that applies 10N of force to any floor as well as a RinseSync cleaning system that cleans itself as it moves around your home. The mop stays clean as it sifts through dirt, and prevents it from spreading the mess around your home.

The battery life is not as good as some of its competitors and might require the battery to recharge every so often in the event of a larger house. Additionally, it is quite noisy during operation and might not be suitable in areas where quiet is preferred. It's a good price for the quality. The SwitchBot S10 is sleek, contemporary look that makes it stand out model in its class.

1. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's popular Mini robot vacuum. This latest version is a combination of an anti-tangle rubber brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor and upgraded suction power that can reach up to 3000Pa to offer better corner coverage and overall cleanliness.

The K10 Plus uses SLAM navigation which is a simple application and a thorough cleaning process. The PSD sensor works in tandem with a rotary brush to navigate through furniture. The four-stage cleaning process combines, lifts, sweeps and vacuums to eliminate dust from floors and carpets. The dust bin will empty itself, which means there's no need to empty it frequently.

You can also mark areas that you do not want the robot to enter like pets toys or power cords. This feature is typical of robotic vacuums. It's helpful when certain areas of your home need more attention.

You can set up the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes in order to empty its trash bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that must be returned frequently and manually empty, which can save you time.

In my tests, I discovered that the K10 Plus' battery life was excellent. It lasted for 110 minutes in a single run, which is higher than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.

The K10 Plus is a compact device that can easily be placed under furniture or in smaller spaces. It is wirelessly connected and supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri shortcuts. It is compatible with IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. The app monitors how often you use its accessories, including the side brushes, filters and dust bag. This will let you know when it's time to replace them.
