1. iRobot Roomba S9+

iRobot invented self-emptying robot vacuums with the Roomba i7, and it elevated the technology to the next level with the s9+. The flagship model is expensive, but it has the highest performance we've seen on any robovac, and comes with upgrades other brands could only dream of.

First, it sucks up dirt into its Clean Base automatically. Then it empties the dirt into a huge bag that you can dispose away every 60-days. This is a great option for those who want to clean their home without touching it, but still want peace of mind knowing that their home is free of allergens and germs.

The s9+ is equipped with improved corner cleaning capabilities that allow it to clean closer to walls and is more effective at spot-cleaning. The application will return to a particular area if it feels it requires more attention. If the area is dirty, the s9 will return to it with stronger suction until the mess is cleared.

The s9+ can be controlled by the app included or using Amazon Alexa (the s9+ is compatible with both) that allows you to provide full voice commands that include the ability of stopping, starting and pausing. You can also program an exact time for the robot to start and end its work, or you can let it decide when it's ready to come back to its dock.

The s9+ is great on bare floors. It is able to remove small debris such as rice, and bigger objects like cereal. It's also quite adept at dealing with carpets with low piles, and has a strong suction with an entire dirt compartment although it's not able to do better on carpets with more thickness.

The S7 MaxV Ultra is also great at mopping, generating lots of suction power to handle the bulky and small debris as well as pet hair on bare floors. It is a bit more difficult to deal with hair on densely woven low-pile carpet, but it is able to collect the majority of the hair on this type of floor.

This model is one of the quietest we've tested with a maximum sound amount of 57.5 dBA in its low-power "Quiet" mode. It's not as quiet in its maximum power mode, 'Max', which generates more than 80 dBA.

The S7 MaxV Ultra is equipped with docks that automatically fill the robot's water tank and emptying its dustbin. It's a bit more challenging to configure the X1 Omni but once you've set it up it will run on its own.
