What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A good robotic vacuum can keep you on top of pet hair, lint and dust on a daily basis. Many robot vacuums work with applications that let you schedule cleaning times. You can also set virtual boundaries, or walls, to keep the vacuum away from areas that you don't want to be cleaned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This smart vac-mop creates a map of your home using its initial run. It then stores the space to help you with future cleaning tasks. It comes with a huge dust bin that automatically emptys and self-cleaning brush roll.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Object Detection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you are choosing a robotic vacuum, make sure you choose one that can pick up big items, such as lamp cords and toys, and also dust particles. This will ensure that they don't become entangled in the roller brush and aren't left on your floors. This is especially crucial if the robot will be cleaned regularly by children or pets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A model with a powerful engine and lots of suction is also an ideal option. This will enable it to be more effective in eliminating dust, pet hair, and lint off carpets and hardwood floors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The size of your home is a different factor to consider. If you have a huge home, you may choose a model with multiple cleaning zones that cover the entire house in one session. Some models have a mopping feature that can be utilized to keep floors clean and fresh.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Robot vacuums are durable, but they need to be maintained in a timely and efficient manner. Cleaning the rotating brushes regularly, emptying your dust bin, and wiping the sensors will keep your machine working efficiently for many years. Many of the owners of robot vacuums we chat with have had the same model for 10 years or more (and have replaced motors, brushes and batteries along the way).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A basic robot is less expensive than a full size vacuum cleaner. They will still do an excellent job of cleaning dirt from surfaces as well as pet fur and lint. You can use them to sweep your floors multiple times per day. However, they don't have as technological innovation, and may be prone to becoming stuck or require human intervention.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Object Avoidance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The best robot vacs use sensors, lasers, or cameras to help them navigate your home without falling off or getting stuck on the stairs. Certain models are able to return to their dock or base when their batteries are low. They also can avoid obstacles like furniture cords and legs. The more expensive ones often come with mapping capabilities that permit them to remember the arrangement of your home, and spend less time hitting walls.
|

|
|
||||||
|
You don't need to spend an enormous amount of money on the most expensive robotic vacuums. You can still find models that do a fantastic job of removing pet hair and dirt from hard surfaces, such as tile, wood and low-pile rugs. They can also handle bigger debris like metal screws, rusty nails or even toys that have been discarded. Some come with a base that automatically empty itself, which is great for those who don't want to empty it every cleaning session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The majority of robotic vacuums have smart features that make your standard stick vacuum seem prehistoric, including zones, schedules, and the ability to control them via an app or voice assistant such as Alexa. You can also create cleaning zones as well as 'virtual walls to block off areas you don't want the robot to go.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some robotic vacuums, such as the Eufy 11S or my former top pick, Roborock S8, come equipped with obstacle avoidance technology to stop them from falling over furniture or cords. Certain robot vacuums, such as the iRobot Roomba j7+ have more advanced AI obstacle-avoidance technology which uses sensors, cameras and smarts to avoid items such as lamp cords and pet waste. It's a bit more expensive than the other bots I've tried, but it did an impressive job of avoiding obstacles within my home and rarely got derailed or trapped while working on my flooring.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The J7+ from iRobot was a great obstacle-avoiding robot however it didn't always do a good job at avoiding crumbs and dirt on my carpets. It also tended to over-vacuum some areas, resulting in lots of dust in the filter, and a less clean house.

Smart Mapping
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The [best mop only robot](https://www.robotvacuummops.com/) robot vacuums come with an app that helps you customize cleaning modes set schedules, and view a map of your flooring area that the machine covers. This is a very useful feature that some competitors do not have. It is easy to create profiles that automatically start your robot at specific times and keep it running on regularly, for example, cleaning your living room prior to dinner or on a regular basis.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A good app can let you control your robot using voice commands. Certain models are compatible with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, which allows you to control your robot through voice commands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enjoy a hands-free and effortless experience, choose a model with a large dust bin that can hold several cleaning sessions before having to be emptied. You can also find models that are self-emptying that take some of the labor out of emptying the machine after each cleaning run.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're looking for a robotic that can do more than vacuum, think about a model with mopping capabilities. They're usually bigger than robotic vacuums, and have a water tank that can hold multiple cleaning sessions worth of dust and dirt before needing to emptied.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The most advanced robots generate their own maps of your house and can even keep track of the arrangement between cleanings, which helps them avoid getting lost or stuck in corners. This can make a huge difference in how efficiently your robot vacuums, as it won't need to spend time returning to the beginning of the room whenever it comes across walls or furniture.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our test subjects who tested the robot that has this capability discovered it to be extremely efficient, and they could sit back and watch TV or perform other chores while the robot was cleaning. Some of these models utilize laser navigation, and can create an exact map of your home, meaning you can program them to clean only the bedroom after dinner, or every room in the house while you're working.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
App Control
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is recommended to select one that comes with a mobile application if you want to customize the frequency of cleaning and choose the cleaning mode. Within the app, you can monitor the condition of your vacuum and its dust bin. Some of the best robot vacuums are controlled by voice with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri Shortcuts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A robot that self-empties a bin and washable filters is simple to keep clean, particularly if you can easily access the filter and take it off it to wash it. A high-powered brush is a excellent feature that can reach into corners and along baseboards to get rid of dirt and hair. Some robots are more adept in avoiding chair legs than others. Others come with sensors that automatically clean brushes to avoid clogging.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some robo-vacs use navigation tools to help them learn your home and navigate around obstacles. High-end models are equipped with sensors and cameras that can detect obstacles like furniture, stairs and cords, whereas cheaper models sometimes use boundary strips you place on the floor to mark off areas you don't want to enter. Avoidance of objects is crucial for families with children who have socks and toys scattered across the house, because it assists your robot in capturing these objects instead of scattering them.
|

We're beginning to see more robots with mops, which are useful for those who have hard floors and require to clean them regularly. These robots come with water tanks built into the chassis, or a separate piece you can swap in when you're ready to mop. These robots may require refilling frequently however, they are perfect for homes with hard floors that can't be easily cleaned by vacuum cleaners.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These robots are loaded with some impressive technology, and they are priced significantly less than you'd expect. You can find a decent one for under $200. It can do a decent job of cleaning on hard floors and can be scoured around the edges of carpets and rug. It is possible to schedule the robot to sweep rooms on a regular basis, and it can be controlled remotely via the app or by pressing buttons on its side.
