The best robotic vacuums also remember where the stairs, furniture and walls are, avoiding these areas as they clean.

A few of the robot vacuums we've tested at CHOICE double as mops too, with the addition of a small water tank as well as a microfiber pads that attach to the base of the unit.

Other models have advanced features, such as webcams that allow you to monitor your home from anywhere or a mopping feature which uses microfibre pads to clean floors.

Despite all the sophisticated navigation and mapping technology available in these devices there's always the chance that your robot will get stuck in furniture or under it, or caught up on cords. It's inevitable however, you can prevent this by ensuring that all cords are tucked in prior to using the mopping or vacuum functions.

The battery in your robot could also degrade as it ages Therefore, regular maintenance and care will help extend the life of your battery. It is important to not leave your robot plugged in for extended periods of time. This can impact the performance of your battery.

They can be used on tile, hardwood and laminate floors, as also on carpets with low pile and area rugs. Many of them can be operated remotely through a Wi-Fi connection. The latest models make use of mapping to discover your home's layout and make it easier to return to the same areas and complete cleaning.

Most robot mops can handle both dry sweeping as well as wet mopping with one pass. They require either a reusable sweeping pad, or a disposable sweeping pad you can attach to their bottoms, or a water container with sensors that detect its empty status. Some robot mops will spray a bit of water on the floor before mopping. They are designed to be able to reach under furniture and along edges. Some come with a navigation system that helps them to remain in a specific room. Other models have boundary strips that prevent them from entering certain areas.

If you're seeking a hands-free clean experience, look into an appliance that automatically empty its garbage bin or has self-emptying docking stations that can last for months without having to be emptied.
