Top Rated Robot Vacuums

Robot vacuums that are highly rated can be a great alternative to a stand-up vacuum. They are fantastic in removing pet hair, food crumbs and tracked-in dirt from hardwood floors as well as carpets with a low pile.

Many models are compatible with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Home. You can control them with voice commands. They also have features such as automatic bin emptying, bagless robot vacuum object detection, and home mapping that learns how to make use of your space.

iRobot Roomba 694"

The iRobot Roomba 694 offers the modern technology in a sleek and user-friendly package. Its spherical design is able to fit into tight nooks and crannies and its stylish exterior complements home d cor. It also has docking technology that allows you to clean from anywhere around the house even when your robot vacuum for pets isn't nearby. The docking station is easy to clean and can be removed from the unit when not in use.

This vacuum uses a bristle-style brushroll and side-detailing brush to clean up debris from different flooring surfaces. Its small wheel on the front helps it make tight turns and navigate obstacles. Smart navigation utilizes sensors to detect areas which are particularly dirty and clean them several times. Its battery can last for around 90 minutes per cleaning and it automatically goes back to its base when it's running low on power.

As with other Roomba models, the 694 can be controlled by voice via Alexa, Google Assistant or the iRobot Home app. You can create schedules to run your robot on a regular basis in the app. The app's scheduling feature can only be used for one run per day, which is less that what you can do with other models, such as the Roborock E4.

In our tests, this robot performed well to pick up debris on different floors. It was able of transitioning seamlessly from hard flooring to carpet and back without snagging any spots. However, it missed some more sloppy spills in corners and small spaces, and was unable to climb stairs. It's a great option for larger, more open spaces, but it's not suitable for small homes or apartments.

The iRobot 694 has a small, rectangular dustbin that holds up to 350ml of dirt during a cleaning session. A button towards the bottom of the unit releases the dustbin and gives you access to the filter. Its limited capacity for dust bins is a drawback, especially since the vacuum doesn't come with a maximum fill sensor to notify you when it's full.

Eufy RoboVac

Eufy produces a range of mapping robot vacuums made to clean the entire home and ensure that your floors are free of dust and debris. Eufy offers a 30- day money-back guarantee on all its products so you can test out the vacuum cleaners without taking a risk with your hard-earned cash. The mapping features aid the robot create an efficient cleaning path, so you won't need to spend time cleaning areas that weren't cleaned. The robot also automatically empties its own trash bin and cleans its docking station so you don't need to be concerned about emptying your garbage on your own.

The robot vacuum has a variety cleaning modes including single room, edge, and spot cleaning. For the most thorough cleaning, you can select a map mode, which allows the robot to draw a detailed map of your room. The robot will use this map to return to clean the same area. This feature is perfect when you have furniture that is large or a carpet that is soiled.

Another advantage of the Eufy RoboVac is that it has a swivel base, which allows it to maneuver around corners and other obstacles within your home. The base allows the cleaner to reach under sofas and beds which is not possible for a robot vacuum. The RoboVac comes with an energy-efficient battery that can be recharged and claims to clean up for as long as 100 minute. The robot will return to the charging dock if its battery level drops below a certain percentage when cleaning.

On the downside however, the Eufy RoboVac struggled a bit during our testing of debris removal on low-pile carpet and hard floors. It was able to pick larger particles like cereal and rice, but had a harder time when dealing with smaller particles such as kitty litter and sugar. The battery didn't last long in max mode.

The positive side is that RoboVac has an easy-to-use app that allows you to schedule and manage it from any location. It works with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home. You can begin it by using a voice command.

iLife V3s

The iLife V3s has more than 11,000 5-star reviews which makes it among the most well-known robots on the market. It's not as advanced as a top-rated model, but it's affordable and does the job well. It's not the best option for carpets as it's not able to clean pet hair; if you want to do this you'll need something similar to the Deebot N79. The iLife V3s however is a great choice for homes with a small amount of hard floors.

The ILIFE V3s Pro comes with various cleaning modes for any type of floor that includes low-pile and laminate/wood. It can also move through stairs and is outfitted with sensors that allow it to avoid obstacles and falls. It is powered by batteries that last up to 90 minutes of operation and automatically recharges and docks when the battery is depleted. The iLife V3s features HEPA filters that remove dust and dirt which may be harmful for your family's health.

It utilizes a gyroscopic navigation system that follows a zig-zag pattern as it scrubs your home. The side brushes capture the debris and move it to the suction tube which is then taken away by the robot. The iLife V3s comes with an edge cleaning mode that enables it to clean corners and walls. It can also be programmed to clean your home on a regular basis 7 days a week.

This bagless robot vacuum is a great investment for those on the tightest budget and who do not have carpets in their homes. Its mopping and vacuuming are highly effective on hard floors and short-pile carpets. Its performance is comparable to robots that cost twice as much. It is easy to use and has an intuitive and simple remote control. It can be programmed to help clean the house when you are away, so you do not have to worry. Its simple functionality is a great feature for people who don't want to go through the hassle of a smart home application. The iLife V3s can be purchased at the online store and in many electronic stores.

Roomba S9+

The Roomba S9+ is equipped with a range of advanced technologies that give you the best cleaning experience. It uses two brushes which are 40% larger and flex to adapt to different floor types. This prevents it from getting tangled with pet hair. It also has a HEPA filter to keep allergens in check. You can easily schedule cleaning sessions with the iRobot App or your voice assistants, like Alexa, Google Home or Siri.

In our laboratory tests in our lab tests, the Roomba S9+ was the best robot vacuum for carpets and bare floors. It is able to easily remove debris like rice and cereal on floors that are unfinished and is great on low-pile carpet. Because of its D-shaped design it is able to effortlessly tackle dirt and debris that is in corners and isn't stuck to furniture legs or walls.

The smart mapping system is yet another feature that makes the S9 stand out. VSLAM is a system that scans a room and creates a map of the whole area. This enables the robot to navigate more efficiently and reduces durations of running due to missed patches in the room. It also has improved cliff detection, which prevents the robot from falling down a staircase or sliding on slippery or wet surfaces.

The model's loudness is one of its main drawbacks. It's louder than the other models we've tested and it is difficult to hold conversations when the S9 is operating. This is especially true when the turbo mode is activated, which sounds like the sound of a jet flying off.

The S9+'s powerful brushes and navigation systems based on sensors make it an ideal choice for families with a lot to do. It can even clean while you're not in the house, and it will automatically return back to its base for a recharge in the event that the battery is running low.

It was difficult to get to the edges of a carpeted area, which is why it creates dust in corners. We also observed that it can be slightly over-zealous in certain areas, and may hit furniture or scratch it. These aren't major issues, and can be fixed with a few software updates.
