The best floor vacuum robot Self Emptying Robot Vacuum

The most efficient self-emptying robot vacuum has the base that holds the equivalent of a month's worth and empties automatically. It also makes a detailed map of your home, allowing you to label rooms as well as create "no-go" zones.

It is equipped with superior obstacle avoidance abilities, too, so it will keep out of power cords and rogue socks.

iRobot Roomba s9+

This robot is one of the top models from iRobot and it certainly does its job. It can easily move across different surfaces, and is extremely effective in sucking dust, dirt and other debris up. It is also very well-built and looks stunning too.

The S9 is the latest model of iRobot's top S Series line of robot vacuums. As the name suggests, it has a handful of extra features that distinguish it from other models. For example, the iRobot app makes use of the camera on this unit to create a map of your home, which helps it in cleaning and navigation.

It will also return to the place where it left off when its battery runs low during a cleaning session, so you don't have to spend time cleaning the same areas. You can manually start and stop cleaning by an audio command, or via the iRobot App. This smart vacuum can even clean in darkness!

Another excellent feature is Carpet Boost, which gives the S9 an extra suction force when it encounters carpeting so that it can take in even more dirt and dust. The unit also has a square front design that is more close to walls and corners as opposed to the earlier round designs. This model is not compatible well with high-pile or shag carpeting.

During our tests, we found the iRobot S9+ cleaned thoroughly and efficiently a variety of floor surfaces, including hard and medium-pile carpets. It also did well on vinyl flooring, and laminate floors. It also did a nice job of navigating around objects and furniture, although it struggled a bit with stairs, and can accidentally crash into things like bookcases.

The S9's ability to automatically return to its base and empty its dust bin after it's full was a fantastic feature. It reduced the requirement for manual maintenance. Its dust bag is expected to last for about 30 loads, which is about two months and you'll need to replace the filter once every so often (which is actually recommended by iRobot). The iRobot S9+ is not extremely loud when it's operating making it a great choice for families with children or pets.

Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid

Designed to eliminate one of the most tedious tasks off your shoulders, robot vacuum cleaners can do all the work to get hardwood and carpeted floors free of every day dirt. Certain robot vacuum cleaners can be controlled via an app on your smartphone, while others feature mopping technology for kitchen and bathroom flooring. They're a great choice for busy families and they are becoming more affordable. If you want the latest technology in your robotic vacuum cleaner then you'll need to shell out a bit more.

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid is a complete vacuum and mopping machine which makes it a great choice for those in a home with multiple floors. The vacuum's 0.6l bin can hold plenty of pet hair. Its dual motors provide impressive cleaning power. The dust bin is easy to remove and emptied which is great as you'll need to do this on a regular basis.

It's also easy to set up, though I recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid prior to running it for the first time. You'll need to install the Eufy Home app and follow the directions for connecting to your Wi-Fi network. The app will assist you draw an outline of your home. You can name the rooms, break large areas into sub-rooms to facilitate open-plan living and direct the X8 Hybrid towards specific areas that require cleaning at a certain time. Eufy's app is more user-friendly and refined than other robots with similar scanning and mapping functions.

The X8 Hybrid has a great feature: you can turn on the mop or vacuum cleaner by voice thanks to the integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is a nice feature that makes the robot more hands-free. It worked well in our test house.

As with many robotic vacuums the X8 Hybrid has some issues with floors that are not clean. It may miss fur and small objects and tends to bump things, such as its charger on the charging platform. It's not as quiet and the whirring sound could be distracting as with other models.

Roborock V3S pro

This bobsweep robot vacuum doesn't have the same number of features as the more expensive ones we tested, however it does cover the basics. It has a huge dust bin which can hold a lot of dirt prior to needing to be empty. The mop and vacuum system is ideal for carpets with hard floors as well as carpets with low pile. It's also quiet. We could watch television while it was cleaning without feeling as though we were being constantly bombarded by the sound.

Our testers were impressed by how simple it was to install and use, Robot Vacuum and were impressed by its capacity to get all the messes off their flooring. It was successful in cleaning pet hair, messes, and carpeting, but it had a harder time getting rid of stains that were stubborn. The app was simple to use and user-friendly. They were able schedule the vacuum to clean on a regular basis to reduce the amount of manual work. It doesn't have any mapping or object avoidance technology, so it isn't able to be sent to specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundaries can be used).

Another model from iRobot's affordable line that is the V3S Pro has some impressive features for the price. It beat out all other robotic vacuums in our tests when it comes to finding and avoiding obstacles and it's the perfect option for those who are looking for a cleaner self-emptying robotic vacuum that can take care of pet hair and messes on both hardwood floors and low-pile carpeting. It's also super quiet and has a huge dust bin that can hold plenty of debris prior to when it has to empty, so you don't have to worry about constantly emptying it.

While the V3S Pro didn't earn a place in any of our top choices roundups of reliable sources that conduct tests with hands-on, it got high marks from reviewers from Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews, and The Ambient. They were impressed with how easy it was to set up and use, however they did note that its battery life was short and it didn't manage to stay clear of some of the most stubborn problems we've encountered.

Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is an entry-level robot vacuum and mop that provides a wide range of features for a low price. You can enjoy many of the premium features, including smart navigation and mapping without spending a fortune. You can make use of voice commands with Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri shortcuts for custom automations, as well as to begin your cleaning process while you are away.

Roborock has spent time in the development of this clever cleaner. The product is built to last and feels as if top quality materials were used in the making of it. Its base is solid and sturdy with a charging port integrated for the battery. On top, you'll find the dock for the clean water tank and dirty water bins. There's also a panel under the dock that holds the vacuum bag that is sealed.

After connecting your device to the application, you'll be able to see a 3D and 2D map of your house which shows where your robot is at any given time and what area it is cleaning. You can also set up virtual barriers to keep the robot out of certain areas and make sure that it only cleans specific types of floors. It's also able of adjusting its power settings according to the type of floor being cleaned, as well as selecting the most effective method of cleaning.

The Q Revo is unlike many other robot vacuums due to the fact that it can raise both mop heads while vacuuming. This helps to prevent carpet fibres from becoming stained. It's actually one of the very few vacuums that can do this.

When it comes to mopping, the Q Revo's 5500Pa suction power can be enough to take out specks of dust or pet hair strands, and other debris. The all-rubber brush is excellent at separating hair from animals and humans and adapting to uneven surfaces.

Its only downside is that it does take an extended time to fill and empty the clean and dirty water tanks. Luckily, you can reduce the frequency of this by using the auto-empty feature, which will automatically empty the container after a couple of days. You'll still need to check the level of water in the dock manually, though, as there isn't an automatic reminder.
