Top Rated Robot Vacuums
A robot vacuum is able to keep floors clean enough to reduce the frequency you have to manually vacuum. Look for one that offers excellent navigation, is able to clean corners and stairs and has a huge dust bin that needs emptying only periodically.
There are models that mop and charge themselves, which is a feature that is essential for families with children or pets. Many of the top performers in our tests have good obstacle avoidance.
1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling the i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ has self-emptying capabilities. This makes the i3+ a great choice for people who want an automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but don't mind taking the time to empty their robot vacuum cleaner amazon's trash bin when it fills up.
Both robots are proficient in removing dirt and dust particles on carpets and hard floors and can maneuver around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software makes smart maps of your home, which help the i3+ EVO to navigate and clean in a way that maximizes efficiency. However, unlike the i7+ and other top-rated robots that we tested the i3+ does not have a feature for avoiding obstacles which means it can get stuck on things such as socks or power cords, and it may have trouble navigating across surface transitions like hardwood to rug.
iRobot suggests cleaning the area in which the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes putting away any toys or other items it might come across. It's also an excellent idea to keep the dustbin and filter clear so they aren't clogged by dirt. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is low it returns to the docking station and automatically takes the dirt out of the docking station’s external dustbin. It then continues cleaning from where it began. The i3+ EVO's batteries last for about an hour and a half of continuous use. It takes around three hours to fully recharge.
2. iRobot Roomba i7+
The iRobot i7+ is an excellent model from iRobot's flagship line, and it comes with the latest features. It's self-charging, self-navigating, and -- the most important feature of all -- it has an auto-emptying dustbin, which eliminates one of the main sources of maintenance for any robot best automatic vacuum cleaner.

It also integrates with the iRobot Home app to let you schedule cleaning jobs and control your robot using voice or through the app.
The i7+ is more efficient and more agile in our tests than the eufy RoboVac G30. It also picked up large pet hair pieces from any surface, including carpeting. The biggest advantage over the Eufy is its self-emptying garbage bin, which eliminates the main sources of maintenance and reduces the cost of maintenance.
We were also impressed by the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services that we used to instruct the robot to begin, stop or pause its cleaning routines, move itself around the room and sweep a specific space. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ to these services. Once connected, to give voice commands to the i7+, such as "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home app also provides options to manage the i7+'s preferences and monitoring its performance.
3. Dyson Cyclone V10
This tiny Dyson model is a sports car that is amidst a sea of vacuums with cords that feel like minivans and buses. It is powerful enough to replace a stand-up vacuum in a majority of homes, but also small enough to fit on the bookcase or coffee table.
The V10 is powered by a 7-cell high-energy lithium-ion battery that can provide fade-free power for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filter system captures allergens and expels cleaner air back into your home. The specialized head uses rigid nylon bristles to penetrate into carpets, and then pick up large crumbs or fine dust. It has three suction modes to match the task being performed. It is able to swiftly change from floor vacuum to handheld vacuum, and vice versa.
This model comes with a dock that can charge the Dyson to 100 percent in 3.5 hours. It also offers easy access to 2 attachments as well as the Wand. This is a major improvement over older Dysons which require a long charge and are difficult to store.
The main drawback of the V10 is its limited run time. The claims of its marketing that it has up to 60 minutes of run time are a bit misleading as CR's tests show. This is an average, not an exceptional, time for a battery-powered cordless vac. This is enough time to sweep the typical home but not enough to reach every spot. (A second pass generally works). That's not to say this model isn't a good choice: It's lighter and mobile than the older cordless Dysons and its vacuuming performance is significantly better on carpets with low pile.

Its navigation system is smart and uses iAdapt to avoid obstacles and navigate your home, but it's not equipped with the mapping capabilities of more sophisticated models such as our top selections and the i3+ EVO and j7+ series. Because of this, it is sometimes stuck on things like phone cords or furniture that isn't as sturdy, and often is power-depleted before returning to its base.
The Xiaomi Mi robot is superior in many ways over the Roomba 694 in that it has fewer components that require regular cleaning, is equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filtration system, incurs lower costs for recurring expenses, has more advanced automation abilities and is better able to move its own. It also has a larger dustbin and is charged faster.
The elegant RoboVac X8 is superior to the Roomba 694 for a variety of purposes, as it has a better battery life, has the ability to alter the suction power mode by hand and comes with physical boundary strips, and is controlled by your smartphone's voice assistant. It's also more durable, has a stronger motor, and can perform better on floors with low pile and bare.

In our testing of the Jet Bot AI+ excelled on hard floors and handled dog hair (on carpet) quite well, clearing up 86 percent of it. However, it wasn't particularly well at avoiding higher-up objects like cords or socks, which was disappointing. It's also more expensive than the other models we've tested and this could be a deterrent for some buyers.
