The only issue with this model is that it doesn't have a dual-purpose charging dock/dust collection like many of its competitors which means you have to keep tabs on the dustbin and manually empty it whenever you need to. This is not a big deal, as other robots that are more budget-friendly like the Yeedi Vac 2, do similar work for a lower price.

It's simple to set up this robot using the Eufy Home App, although it may take you just a few minutes to get it up and running. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

5. iRobot Roomba X5

The iRobot Roomba E5 robot vacuum is a top choice that can be used on any surface. It lacks as many premium features, like support for voice commands or apps-based steering, like our top pick from Ecovacs, but it is more portable and has fewer recurring expenses. It also has a bigger dirt compartment and longer battery life.

It is a little worse on floors that are not clean than the iRobot Roomba i4, but it performs better on low-pile carpet and pet hair. Its suction power decreases when the dirt container fills and it gets stuck on electrical cords and rug tassels. To clean the front caster wheels you'll require an appropriate screwdriver.

6. Roomba X4 from iRobot

It has an impressive battery life and a dust compartment that self-empties. It also cleans its docking station and sensors. It is able to be linked to Alexa or Google Home devices so that it can be controlled remotely and voice commands can be given.

Its sensors and navigation capabilities allow it to navigate obstacles, but it often is stuck in furniture or gets caught on cords. It can be noisy, particularly on high-pile rugs.

Contrary to our top pick this vacuum cleaner does not have an app, however its user-friendly interface has many of the same functions, including an in-depth plan of your home and the option of setting specific cleaning times as well as creating virtual barriers. It can be difficult to maintain, since its brushrolls and HEPA filter require regular replacements. Also, its side brush could get caught in pet hair. These issues can increase maintenance costs.

It is excellent at removing pet hair and other small debris from floors that are bare. It's also very mobile and is a great choice for carpets with low pile. It's not as efficient on high-pile carpets, and will incur higher recurring costs, though.

We prefer the iRobot RoboVac 30C over the eufy RoboVac 30C as it feels more constructed, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance and charges faster. It also features more sophisticated automation. It is able to automatically empty its internal dustbin into a separate dirt compartment on its charging dock, which reduces the need for hands-on maintenance.

The X1 Turbo comes with two rubber wheels that look just like those on a Tonka truck. They help to smooth over the small bumps and ridges that surround your home.

During the testing the robot was able to navigate and map itself around the house with out much interference from us. It vacuums and mop without getting stuck, and then it automatically refills its water and dust bin.

It's a beautiful machine too, made by Jacob Jensen Design and priced much more competitively than iRobot's more expensive Deebot X1 OMNI, or the $2,058 Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra. The software's glitches and loud rumble of its dock-emptying procedure might put some off however those who want their bot to be able to do everything will likely find this an attractive option.
