MIT roboticists from MIT Colin Angle Helen Greiner and Rodney Brooks founded iRobot, a company in the year 1990, with the intention of making real robots a possibility. The company's first product was the Roomba vacuuming robot, was introduced to the market in September 2002. The early models used random zigzagging to achieve complete coverage. The latest models use visual simultan localization and mapping navigation (vSLAM). iRobot has also created the Scooba jet mopping robot, Ava video collaboration robot and more. The company's stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker IRBT.

7. iRobot Roomba 989

Roomba is iRobot's top model. Roomba makes use of vSLAM which is a type of visual simultaneous localization mapping that allows it to create maps and track its location at any time. It can also create zones to keep out using the iRobot App to ensure that you don't need to worry about it wandering away from the designated areas of your home.

It incurs lower recurring costs than the Roborock S7, maneuvers over obstacles like electrical cords much better, and offers superior cleaning performance on bare floors and low-pile carpeting--especially with pet hair. The only downsides are the limited battery runtime and the inability of suctioning debris into a bin externally that would eliminate the need for a hands-on maintenance. The sensor suite is slightly less reliable than our top pick. However, iRobot's application gives the possibility of contributing to its machine learning algorithms by sharing photos of specific objects you see when cleaning.

8. iRobot Roomba 991

The iRobot Roomba 991 has great maneuverability and a clever system to clean. It can mark different areas after mapping the space and then return to those areas as required. It can also draw boundaries to prevent getting stuck in the space that is packed with clutter.
