There is no robot that can replace a stick vacuum or upright however, many do a good job of picking up tracked-in dirt, crumbs and shed pet hair from hard floors and low-pile carpeting. Look for Rated a vacuum with an impressive suction that can easily pick up dirt and dust on your floors in a single pass or multiple passes on carpeting. You want a robot with the ability to move easily around furniture and tight corners.

Larger wheels allow them to climb over ledges, steps and doorways more easily than smaller ones. They also have sensors to help them avoid bumping into furniture or falling. Some can even detect when they're close to a rug's tassels and automatically increase suction to prevent getting caught in.

Most of the robots in this category have powerful motors to provide strong suction. This allows for rapid cleaning. They also have attachments that allow you to sweep and mop floors. Some can even be used in conjunction with a compatible smart speaker, such as Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant, for a hands-free cleaning experience.

Toner advises that you take into consideration the battery life of the robot and how easy it will be to recharge. Some models also have a useful function that lets you restart cleaning the point where the robot stopped, which can be helpful when you have a larger space or in the event that your schedule is constantly changing.

While most robots don't require regular maintenance, they require cleaning from time to time to remove lint and hair from their brushes and other parts.

Customized Cleaning Schedules

Neato D9 is a good example. It's our favourite robot vacuum, and it is particularly good for cleaning carpeted floors and getting around difficult areas such as under furniture. This is due in part to its mapping technology. It is able to learn and save a map of your house to help it clean rooms more efficiently, without being lost or getting caught in furniture. You can also edit the map using an app to block off rooms that you don't want to access.

Other features to consider include the power of the battery, a large dustbin as well as a lengthy cleaning cycle. We recommend a self-emptying model, which will empty the bin when it is full instead of requiring you to manually do it.

They're not as effective as vacuums specifically designed to clean carpets however they are effective in tackling more serious spills and stains, as well as for keeping floors looking good between regular cleanings.

Advanced Sensors

The best vacuum we reviewed for carpeting automatically increases suction when changing from hardwood to carpet. It is also able to go back and clean that same area a second time to ensure a thorough clean.

For instance, some of the top-rated models have gyroscopes which aid in calculating distances to obstacles, like staircases or walls. This technology functions in the similar way to a compass, by spinning rapidly to measure the robot's position. This feature helps prevent the robot from navigating up and down steep stairs or falling over other barriers that could harm it or cause it to crash.

Certain models also come with an extra feature that can detect pet hair and other allergens in carpet. This is a great feature for pet owners and require a robot to remove hair without causing damage to carpet fibres.

Choose a hybrid mop that can clean carpet and hard surfaces in one go. Eufy 11s is our top pick in this category. It offers a variety of features that help it distinct from other models. The mopping pad dispenser, for example it automatically removes the pads and cleans them between use. This prevents hairs that are tangled from blocking the roller brush of the vacuum. It also comes with a cleaner head option with "powerfins" designed to go a little deeper into carpets and more easily remove pet hair without getting trapped in the wheels or brushes.
