What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A robot vacuum can help keep you on top of pet hair and lint on regular basis. Many robot vacuums are compatible with applications that let you schedule cleaning sessions. You can also set virtual boundaries or 'walls,' to keep the vacuum away from areas you don't want cleaned.

This smart vac-mop will create the map of your home with its initial run. It then stores the space to help you with future cleaning tasks. It has self-cleaning brush rolls and an extra-large dust bin that empties automatically.

Object Detection

When choosing a robot vacuum, look for one that can pick up big items, such as lamp cords and toys, and also dust particles. This will ensure that the items don't get stuck in the roller brushes or left on your floor. This feature 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 excellent option. This will make it more effective in removing pet hair, dust and lint from your hardwood and carpet floors.

Another factor to consider is the size of your space. If you have a large house you might want to choose models that have multiple cleaning zones so you can clean the entire house in one go. Some models also come with mopping robot vacuum cleaner functions that can be used to keep your floors looking fresh and clean.

Robot vacuums last a long time however, they must be cleaned regularly and properly. Regularly cleaning the rotating brushes and emptying your dust bin, and wiping the sensors will keep your robot running smoothly for a long time. Many of the owners of robot vacuums we speak to have owned their machines for ten years or longer (and have replaced motors, brushes and batteries with time).

A basic robot is less costly than a larger vacuum cleaner. They'll still do an excellent job of cleaning surface dirt as well as pet fur and lint. They're a great maintenance cleaner that you can distribute every week to keep your floor free of dirt. However, they don't come with as advanced technology, and could be prone to becoming stuck or needing human intervention.

Object Avoidance

The most effective robot vacuums utilize sensors, cameras or lasers to help you navigate your home and avoid getting stuck or falling down the stairs. Some models can return to their base or dock when the battery is low. They can also stay clear of obstacles like furniture cords and legs. Some of the more expensive models come with mapping capabilities that allow them to remember your home's layout and spend less time bouncing against walls.

There is no need to spend lots of money on the most expensive robotic vacuums. You can still find models that do an excellent job at picking up pet hair and dirt from hard surfaces like wood, tile, and low-pile rugs. They can also be capable of handling larger objects such as metal screws and staples that are rusty or even abandoned toys. Some come with an automatic vacuum and mop robot base that drains itself, which is a great feature if you do not want to empty it after each cleaning session.

Many robotic vacuums also come with innovative features that make a regular stick vacuum appear ancient, including zones, schedules, and the ability to control them with an app or voice assistant such as Alexa. You can also create cleaning zones and virtual walls to block off areas that you don't want robots to access.

Certain robotic vacuums such as the Eufy 11S and my former top choice the Roborock S8, have obstacle avoidance technology that prevents them from getting sucked into furniture or tangling with cords. Some robot vacuums, like the iRobot Roomba j7+ have more advanced AI obstacle-avoidance technology that uses sensors, cameras and algorithms to stay clear of items like lamp cords and pet waste. It's a bit more expensive than other bots I've tried, but it does a great job of avoiding obstacles, and never is stuck or tripped while working on my floor.

While the iRobot's j7+ was a good obstacle avoidance robot but it wasn't always able to do well in removing dirt and crumbs from my rugs. It also tends to over-vacuum areas, which resulted in a lot of extra dust in the filter, and an unclean home.

Smart Mapping

The best robot vacuums have an app that lets you alter cleaning modes, create schedules, and see the area covered by the machine. This is a handy feature, and one that many competitors don't have. This lets you create profiles which will automatically start the robot at specified times and continue to run continuously. For example, it could be cleaning the living room each day or before dinner.

A good app will also let you control your robot with voice commands. Certain models can be controlled by Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant and can work entirely hands-free, meaning you can say "start a clean" or "change cleaning mode" without using the app.

To enjoy a hands-free and mopping robot Vacuum Cleaner effortless experience, choose an option with a big dust bin that can withstand several cleaning sessions before having to be emptied. You can also find models that self-empty that take some of the labor out of emptying the machine after each run of vacuuming.

If you want a robot that is more than just vacuum, you'll want to look at one that can mop your floors. These are usually larger than robotic vacuums, and include a tank of water that can store multiple cleaning sessions' worth of dirt and dust before it needs to be empty.

Robots that are more sophisticated can develop their own maps and remember the arrangement of your home from one cleaning session to the next, which prevents them from getting lost or stuck. This can make a huge difference in the efficiency of your robot vacuum, because it won't need to return to where it was when it comes across walls or furniture.

Our test participants who utilized the robot that has this feature found it to be extremely efficient, and they could comfortably watch TV or mopping Robot vacuum cleaner do other chores while the robot was cleaning. Some of these models use laser navigation, and can create an exact map of your home, which means that you can program them to clean only the bedroom after dinner, or each room of the house when you're at work.

App Control

It's best to choose one that comes with a mobile application if you want to customize the frequency of cleaning and choose a cleaning mode. You can also check the state of the vacuum and the state of its dust bin within the app. Some of the best robot vacuums can even be controlled by voice with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri Shortcuts.

A robot that self-empties a bin and washable filters is easy to keep clean, particularly if you can easily access the filter and remove it to rinse it. Another excellent feature is a high-powered brush that gets into corners and along baseboards making it much easier to get rid of hair and dirt. Certain robots are better at avoiding chair leg than others. Others have an automatic cleaning system that cleans brushes to avoid obstruction.

Some robot vacuums come with navigation tools that assist them in navigating around obstacles and learn your home. High-end models have sensors and cameras that detect obstacles such as furniture, stairs and cords, while cheaper models may use boundary strips you place on the floor to mark areas you don't want it to go. Avoidance of objects is particularly useful for families with children who scatter toys and socks all over the house. This helps your robot to collect these items, instead of scattering them.

We're beginning to see more robots equipped with mops which are great for people who have hard floors and require to clean them regularly. These robots come with a water reservoir that is built into their chassis or as a separate piece you can swap in when ready to mop. These robots might require refilling frequently but they're ideal for homes with hard floors that aren't cleaned with vacuums.

We've seen some incredible technology incorporated into these tiny robots, and they're a lot cheaper than you think. You can find a decent one for under $200. It can do a decent job of cleaning on hard floors while navigating around the edges of carpets and area carpets. It is possible to schedule the robot to vacuum the room every day and it can be controlled remotely using the app or by pressing buttons on its side.
