1. IRobot Roomba S9+

iRobot pioneered self-emptying robot vacuums using the Roomba i7. The company elevated the technology to the next level with the s9+. This flagship model is expensive, but it also has the best performance of any robovac we've tested and includes features that other brands only dream of.

It first gathers dirt in its Clean Base. Then, it emptys the dirt into a large bag that you can dispose away every 60 days. This makes it a great choice for those who want to be hands-off when it comes to cleaning but are looking for the peace of head that comes with knowing that their home is regularly free of allergens and germs.

The s9+ also comes with advanced corner-cleaning abilities that get it closer to walls than previous models, and it's better in spot cleaning, too. The app will return to a particular area if it detects it needs extra attention. If the area is very dirty, the s9 will return to it with a stronger suction until all the mess is gone.

You can control the s9+ with the included app or using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (the s9+ can support both) It allows you complete voice commands, including the ability to begin and stop, as well as pausing. You can program the robot to begin and stop its work at a certain time or let it decide when it should return to its dock.

The s9+ is great on bare floors. It can easily take small pieces of debris, like rice, and larger objects like cereal. It also excels in cleaning carpets with a low pile and Robot Vacuum with self empty has a strong suction, even if the dirt compartment is full. However, it will not do as well with carpets that are more dense.

2. Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra

The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is a robot vacuum and mop that can sweep, detect rugs and self-clean which makes it among the most hands-off robotic cleaners available. Its advanced mapping and navigation systems provide superior maneuverability, and its companion app provides access to a range of cleaning configuration options. It also supports a broad range of third-party apps that allow you to monitor your home's activities while it's in action.

The S7 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessor, is a master in sweeping carpets and robot Vacuum with Self Empty hard floors. It scored very well in our dirt pickup tests and performed well in tackling difficult-to-clean tasks such as the sand embedding tests and the carpet deep clean test which we conduct by weighing the dustbin of the robot prior to and after a predetermined amount of time. The S7 MaxV Ultra is also excellent at mopping, and has plenty of suction power to deal with large and small particles as well as pet hair on bare floors. It is more difficult with carpets with a low pile which are densely woven however, it can still handle the majority of the hair.

This model is among the quietest that we've ever examined. Its low-power Quiet mode produces maximum noise of 57.5 dBA. It's not as discreet in its highest-power "Max" setting which can produce more than 80 dBA.

The S7 MaxV Ultra comes with an integrated dock that automatically empty the Robot Vacuum with self empty's dustbin and replenish its water tank. It's a bit more difficult to set up the X1 Omni, but once you've got it configured it will run on its own.

The IQ Robot XL, like other Shark products, has a strong suction that is able to easily handle dust bunnies and dog hair. Its self-cleaning brushroll stops hair from circling the machine while it brushes through debris as well. Its navigation module uses sensors to monitor its surroundings as it moves. However, this process isn't as thorough as robots using LIDAR modules. The IQ Robot XL must run a few clean cycles to identify your space.
