How to Choose the best robot vacuum cleaner [lasvegasibs.ae]

Robot vacuums will save you time and effort when it comes to cleaning. The best models do a great job of removing dust and other small particles and allow you to create no-go zones for pets or power cords.

The more expensive models even clean your floors--though they still can't climb stairs. Look for models with smart mapping, real-time hazard avoidance, and large self-emptying bins.

Best Overall

The top robots we've tested in our testing are efficient and easy to use and able to keep up with the everyday messes. It is also important to choose a model that can handle stairs and that has decent pick-up power on carpets. And, if you're looking to add more features, you might be interested in a robot equipped with smart mapping technology or an application that allows you to control the robot remotely.

Camryn Rabideau, a contributing shopping writer for PEOPLE and a reviewer of products who has tested numerous robotic vacuums, is credited with testing numerous robot vacuums. She prefers robovacs that have the most conveniences, such as those that have self-emptying bins and charging stations that automatically empty and fill water tanks to mop robotic vacuums. She's also a fan of the robots that can recognize landmarks like furniture legs and power cords so they don't get caught when climbing stairs.

This Black and Decker robot has a lower score for navigation and has less object-avoidance technology than the most popular models. However, it has an enormous dust bin that doesn't require regular emptying and has a lengthy battery life. Additionally, it has a feature that allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and then return to the spot where it stopped last and makes it much easier to tackle larger areas. This model is an excellent choice for pet owners as it can avoid hair tangles and food particles.

In our tests we tested the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra combines with a LIDAR sensor that can map rooms and see obstacles with a structured light sensor that can identify objects and detect edges. The combination allows it to avoid steps, drops of liquid and furniture legs easily and save up to four floor maps to be used in the future for reference. It is able to stop and restart the cleaning process at any time, so you can continue to do chores while it works. The included app offers a 3D representation of your home, room labels and advanced cleaning options.

The robot isn't as efficient in cleaning like our top models, but it excels at picking up heavier items like orzo pasta, metal screws, and fine debris such as sand. Its only downsides are that it isn't able to mop and that its navigation system is less impressive.

Best for Carpet

If you have carpeting, select a robot vacuum that has a high score for rug and carpet ability to maneuver and pick up. Many models are good at cleaning dust from low-pile rugs, and some do a decently job of cleaning up larger debris like orzo pasta and screws made of steel. However, they can't handle small particles as well as an upright or canister vacuum and can miss ground-in dirt close to thresholds and baseboards.

The best option for carpeted homes is a two-in-one robot vacuum and mop that allows you to swap between an empty bin for cleaning and a damp mopping pad. The Roborock Q Revo, for instance, vacuums and a wet mop with circular pads that rotate at 200 rotations per minute. It detects and lifts the pads when it encounters carpet to prevent wetting the floor, and you don't need to remove or replace them after every use. The Q Revo also performs better than other robot vacuum/mops in avoiding obstacles and being close to carpets and thresholds.

Another good option is the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, which did exceptionally well in our tests and can be scheduled via the app to clean when you're away from home. It can be set to only mop and we were impressed by its impressive navigation on both rug and floor robot surfaces as well as its ability to get up and over furniture. The Combo i5 also has a very long run time and excellent path planning for such a small device.

If you want a more modern model, you can look at the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop. It comes with a large charging dock that can go weeks without needing to be empty, and it has amazing navigation capabilities and auto-emptying on both bare floors and carpets. It also comes with a smart mapping system and can be programmed to only run for certain times (a beneficial feature to keep the sly children and animals from running amok). The Shark is less powerful than other robot remote vacuum/mop combinations, but it does pick up pet hair and hair very well. It's also the highest price of our top picks.

Best for Hard Floors

Robot vacuums are ideal for hardwood floors, as they can navigate around obstacles without causing damage to the surfaces that are not. They are fantastic for removing dust and crumbs, but they struggle with pet hair and larger debris. They lack the suction power of the top canister or upright vacuum, which makes them a poor choice for deep cleaning robots for home carpeted or upholstery areas.

The most effective two-in-one robots incorporate mopping and vacuum and take care of a more complete chore in one pass. Look for one that has an onboard sensor that detects changes in the floor texture and adjust suction in line with the changes. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T9+, for instance, has this feature and can transition seamlessly from hard to soft carpeting.

If you have a lot of hardwood floors in your home, you might want to think about a robot mop and vacuum like the Eufy S1 Pro. This model uses an efficient robot vacuum with smart navigation to clean hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Additionally, it can mop too. Its sensors help it avoid stairs and other hazards so you don't need to worry about the bot plummeting down the stairs and breaking your hardwood.

When it comes to mop pads, the Eufy S1 Pro is designed to actually clean hardwood floors using downward pressure rather than wipe them to remove dirt and dust. Its reusable pads reduce waste and spread less germs. They can also be cleaned in docking stations to reduce time. The mop pads can also be washed, dried and reused.

Both the robovac and the mop are both controlled by your smartphone to make it easier to manage the device. You can, for instance, use the app to create no-go zones that the vacuum will not enter, label different rooms, or schedule specific cleaning sessions. The eufy S1 Pro has an auto-emptying port that collects debris via a trapdoor, and stores it into a bagless or disposable bin. This means that you won't have to empty the bin manually as often as with other models.

Best suited for small Spaces

As the name suggests, these robots are best to be used in small spaces. They have smaller bins that hold less waste, and they're more efficient than larger models when it comes to navigating tight corners. They can also fit under furniture, whereas larger robots are unable to reach. They tend to be cheaper than the more expensive models, too, although you'll need to manually empty their dirt bins at end of each cleaning session.

A couple of years ago, robotic vacuums went through a major change when manufacturers began adding sensors to help them navigate around and avoid household objects that traditional sensors would be stuck on or over. This improved the number of times our testers had to clean up after a robotic accident.

However, the latest sensors haven't solved all of the problems these machines have. The less expensive models are not able to traverse the same obstacles as older models, and they need an adequate amount of light in order to see where they are moving. If you reside in a dark area or have a lot of furniture that is low-profile, think about getting one that uses top-mounted spinning LIDAR units to map your area, as our top overall and runner-up picks do. This will allow them to stay clear of stairs and other obstacles while working in the dark.

In addition being capable of working in dark and in the dark, these models can be programmed to use their cliff sensors only when they're close to or on the floor, not when they're above them. It's essential to cover mirrors in order to stop this from happening. The lasers used by the LIDAR-based models may bounce off reflective surfaces, making the robot think it's in a different space.

A few of the models we recommend let you set up virtual no-go zones for areas where you don't want the robot to go, which is useful if you have pets or children. These features aren't on all models we test. Check out our complete reviews before deciding.
