Those with large wheels are able to climb over door ledges and stairs better than smaller ones, and their advanced sensors help them avoid tumbles or bumping into furniture. Some can even detect the proximity of the tassels of a rug and automatically increase suction power to avoid getting caught in.

A powerful battery, large dustbins, and a long cycle of cleaning are some other aspects to be looking for. We recommend a model that automatically emptys its bin once it is full, rather than having to empty it manually.

Many of the top-rated models include gyroscopes that calculate distances to obstacles like stairs or walls. This technology works in the similar way a compass does, which is by spinning quickly to measure the robot's direction. This feature can prevent the robot from traversing high-inclined staircases or falling down other barriers that could harm it or cause it to crash.

Certain models also come with an extra feature that can detect pet hair as well as other allergens that are present in carpet. This is an excellent feature if you own pets and need a robot to clean up hair without damaging carpet fibres.
