We provide you with detailed reviews of our top picks, highlighting their features, pros, and cons to help you make an informed decision. We also discuss key factors to consider when selecting a robot vacuum, such as the size of your home, flooring type, pet hair, and allergies, to ensure that you choose a vacuum that meets your specific needs.

We recently bought the new Roomba S9 Plus and put it through all of our usual tests and I have to say I was highly impressed. Roomba has done something extraordinary with this version and you'll see the details in our test, it goes far deeper than the new look.

Roomba S9+ has been fundamentally redesigned and part of Roomba I7+ that redesign is the new shape, which is supposed to give it better edge cleaning and corner cleaning performance. The manufacturer has moved its dual brush roll to the front and made it 30% wider, in addition to PerfectEdge Technology with Edge brush for the best edge performance cleaning.

Type: Robot Vacuum

Cleaning method: Vacuuming

Pros:

• Works great on carpets and wooden floors

• Extremely strong suction can handle different sizes of dust

• Pair working with Braava robot mops

• Remembering up to 10-floor plans

Cons:

• High-end segment, so the price is high

It also comes with a self-emptying bin called the clean base, where the robot automatically returns to and empties the contents of its bin after every cleaning. The 550 ml dustbin is a new design for emptying itself for up to 60 days.

The main change on the S9+ clean base was an upgraded filter with the Superior 3-Stage Cleaning System that lifts, loosens, and then eliminates debris & pet hair from deep within your carpets. It has two power settings: low and high power, and an auto mode, but on high power, we are very surprised at this power suction.

With 40x the Power-Lifting Suction than Roomba 600 series, we are sure that dust has nowhere to hide when faced with this model.

We tested its debris pickup on both hard floors and carpets with a variety of debris from coffee to snacks. The result is not surprising as it works very smoothly and is not blocked by any kind of dirt. The collection rate on large particles is almost 100%, and small dirt such as coffee, and oats reach 80%.

The thing that impressed me the most with the Roomba S9+ was probably its carpet deep cleaning ability. At first, we seemed skeptical about the ability of this robot vacuum to collect small dust particles on carpets, so a test of different difficulty was given to it.

We offer micro-sized challenges with dust particles, starting with sand then oatmeal, and finally coffee powder. The results show that the dust weight collected is up to 90% of the original weight when in high-power mode. Of course, the tests are all done at the same time to ensure they are equal to other vacuum cleaners.

Our Experience: One cool feature of this Roomba is you can set it to start cleaning automatically when you leave the house. It connects to your phone to know when you've gone, and then it gets right to work vacuuming while you're out living your life!

You come home to clean floors without having to lift a finger. And if you also have one of those Braava robot mops, the Roomba and mop can work together to give your floors a deep clean. It's like having your little cleaning team ready to tackle the house while you're gone.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra has a ton of new features and upgraded specs from previous Roborocks, as well as something that might prove to be the future of robot vacuums, a dock that not only empties the dustbin automatically, but washes and refills the mop system too.

We’ve put it through all kinds of tests in the past three weeks and we have a lot to say about it. This is the S7 Max Ultra from a rubber rock and the slogan is let us check. It comes with auto tank refilling, water dust embedding, water mop washing, and most importantly water warm air drying. It dresses them up and leaves them smelling fresh. We've never seen anything like this in any other vacuum cleaner.

Type: Robot Vaccum and Mop

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming and Mopping

Pros:

• Advanced obstacle avoidance using 3D structured light 

• Mapping 3D of your home that it uses to efficiently plan cleaning routes

• Can be programmed to clean specific rooms on a schedule

• Self-emptying base that stores up to 7 weeks of debris

Cons:

• Having a little difficulty handling thick carpets

• The mopping function requires additional maintenance like replacing and washing mop pads

They navigate using a top-mounted Lidar system, The S7 MaxV has additional front-mounted sensors to recognize and avoid obstacles that are too low for its Lidar or too light for its bump sensors to recognize. The S7 Max V has upgraded to that obstacle avoidance system that the S6 MaxV did not like structured light 3D scanning.

With the ideal height and Lidar sensors, it can move easily under the sofa and table or tight space without any obstruction. An interesting detail that increases the navigation performance is that it is equipped with additional lights for use under furniture or in dark spaces. 

Roborock claims that the S7 MaxV Ultra has the highest suction power of any Roborock yet at 6000 Pa with HyperForcesuction. The suction and airflow tests I did find had at least twice the suction as the older S7. It excelled in related tests like the crevice pickup test where it was well above average, as well as the carpet deep clean test where I embedded sand into medium pile carpet and weighed the bend before and after where it scored much higher than average.

If we want to evaluate the suction level separately, we would like to give the S8+ the first place. They are effective even on carpets and on extremely small dust particles. However, this is also the weakness of this machine when focusing entirely on suction power as well as suction technology, but wiping and washing technology is not optimal.

Very little scattered debris from the side, brushes, and a nice clean pickup on its default power setting, even with difficult tests like cat litter or sand on hard floors. So the S7 MaxV was as good as it gets with picking stuff up from the surface of floors.

The mopping system I think doesn't set the S7 MaxV apart from its competition. With the VibraRise Mopping System, a consistent downward pressure of 6 newtons ensures the mop scrub head stays in full contact with your floors as it vibrates. This results in every square inch receiving an intense scrubbing that lifts away dirt and grease that traditional mopping misses.

Trash tank and a detachable plate where you can attach either a microfiber or disposable pad. It has the same Sonic Vibration Technology we saw on the S7, which vibrates the pad mechanically for better loosening of stuck-on stains, as well as the motorized lifting of the mopping pad when it senses carpet. 

Our Experience: When you first set it up, the Roborock S7 MaxV will thoroughly map 3D the layout of your home. This gives it the information it needs to navigate rooms and obstacles while cleaning. As a bonus, you can indicate the locations of furniture on the map. This helps the vacuum thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas like under beds and couches.

Once mapped, you can simply send the Roborock S7 MaxV on its way and it will clean your entire home automatically. Its smart infrared and imaging sensors guide it around objects while meticulously vacuuming floors. You can sit back and relax knowing the mess is being handled without you having to monitor or intervene in the process. The Roborock S7 MaxV aims to make robot vacuuming truly hands-free and worry-free.

The Samsung Jetbot AI Plus had great clean performance overall. It was able to remove 95% of all debris across all floor types with up to 30W power suction. Especially, handling pet hair ability is perfect. It is no coincidence that we give it a place in the best machine darlings.

With the five-layer HEPA filtration system, even fine dust and airborne hairs will be thoroughly collected. They keep you a clean atmosphere and a shiny floor.

Type: Robot Vaccum 

Cleaning method: Vacuuming 

Pros:

• Uses advanced LiDAR navigation and AI technology to map and navigate your home efficiently 

• Self-emptying feature with a dust bag that can hold dirt and debris. Reduces manual emptying

• Filters system that traps 99% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns

• Can be controlled by voice or the SmartThings app, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant for hands-free operation

Cons:

• Expensive compared to other robot vacuums.

• Cannot vacuum darker floors very effectively due to LiDAR limitations and no lights

Generally, the robot vacuum was able to remove the majority of the debris, however, it did have issues with certain types depending on the floor type. While the majority of all pet hair was removed, the remaining hair was mostly small and short. However, the hairs that did remain were minimal.

The jet bot was able to easily remove all of the hair on the floor, however, the real issue was the hair getting tangled. If you have a pet that sheds a lot or has long strands of hair, you may want to tackle that first, the more powerful vacuum.

For obstacle avoidance, Samsung Jetbot uses its LiDAR sensors paired with AI to recognize objects and navigate around them. When an object is recognized, it will notify you in the app as well as mark it on the map for you to review later, says these features.

We have placed many objects on the floor to know how to recognize objects technology, and the result for all tests is easily passed. This is especially beneficial in avoiding pet waste on the floor for families with pets. You will feel extremely troubled and uncomfortable when they roll through the waste dumps.

Our Experience: For some houses that have long-haired dogs or cats, to let you know how the performance of this robot vacuum with long hair. We placed long strands of hair in the direct cleaning path of the robot. We then run the vacuum over the hair and check to see if any hair remains on the floor and if any is tangled in the brush roll.

Overall, the Samsung Jetbot was successfully able to avoid all of the obstacles. However, it didn't completely avoid them. In some cases, the Jetbot would mostly avoid the object, only to have the corner of the robot snack on the object and move it around a little bit. In our test, the Jetbot never moved an object too much. If you often leave expensive objects like laptops or phones attached to low-hanging cords, you may wish to make sure those are secured before cleaning.

Eufy L35 Hybrid+ has a base station (3 liters) for 60 days capacity that collects the dust so the debris that the vacuum picks up. This does suck out and it puts it into a bag and the bag is very easy to take off and on. In particular, the inside is equipped with a system to antibacterial and deodorize the collected garbage, avoiding the spread of diseases and harmful insects to your throne.

Type:  Robot Vaccum and Mop

Cleaning method: Vacuuming and Mopping

Pros:

• Can vacuum and mop, making it a versatile cleaning tool.

• The dustbin and water tank are both large, so you can clean more without having to empty

• Multiple cleaning modes, including auto, edge, spot, and single room

• Can be controlled by voice or the SmartThings app, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant for hands-free operation

Cons:

• Some users have reported that can be quite loud during the operation

• Not come with virtual barriers when cleaning

To be honest, in the under $250, we should not expect too much of the superiority that the Eufy L35 can produce, but they completely meet most of the basic robot vacuum needs, even more. Robot vacuum in the price range under $250 will usually only have a single function of suction, but the L35 is integrated with both cleaning and automatic emptying of the trash, helping you save maximum time in cleaning.

There's a pad on there you can change and a water tank can contain 200ml behind, you're just simply going to slide it on. Water level can be divided into 3 levels for different floor types and your ideal. For the lowest level, it can be dried faster.

iPath Laser Navigation technology is used on this device. In our tests, it avoided almost all objects of different sizes (basic household items such as shoes, slippers, children's toys, carpets, and chairs...), and especially In this eyebrow is the ability to map and determine the position extremely accurately.

Our Experience: The suction power is divided into different levels with a maximum of 3200 Pa allowing thorough collection of dust of different sizes. When you want to mop the floor, you've got to put pad mopping on. 

It's rare to see in this price range that the navigation and mapping are so perfect. In addition, it can store maps on many different floor plans, so you can easily control them on the Control App or even by voice when you go away.

Deebot T9+ which is the latest flagship robot vacuum from Ecovacs. Let's see about some of the incredible features of the T9+. It has auto emptying, which means that it takes itself back to charge and automatically empties the dustbin into the charge base unit. Ecovacs tell us that it can store about 30 cleans for up to 60 days, which is pretty good.

It has an oscillating mop, which means that the mopping pad vibrates rather than just dragging the mop around the floor. This makes a huge difference, as you'll see in the mocking tests later on. 

Type:  Robot Vacuum and Mop

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming, Filtering Air, and Mopping

Pros:

• Freshening technology adds a luxurious fragrance to your home.

• OZMO Pro mopping system has a high-capacity water tank

• TrueDetect 3D technology allows it to detect and avoid common household obstacles 

• Control the robot vacuum with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Cons:

• High-end robot vacuum with a premium price tag

• Heavy and difficult to move around or transport

The T9+ also uses a system called TrueDetect 3D for object recognition and avoidance. LIDAR is incredibly accurate for positional navigation, but because it sits on top of the robot and looks parallel to the floor so can't see things lying on the ground such as cable socks or dog poo. It has additional lasers on the front of the robot specifically looking for objects that may get it stuck.

This is still a remarkable improvement that optimizes the ability to clean on different surfaces, especially wooden floors and you are less likely to return home to find it stuck.

It has an air freshener, which is the world's first. Using a small filter core in front of the robot which can filter the air to help kill mold and bacteria when operating. What is especially interesting to me is that not only do they filter the air, but they also give off a very pleasant scent to help reduce pet odors.

An extremely important function that most households using wooden floors need to care about is customizing the cleaning area and setting virtual boundaries.

You can even divide your house into many small zones and ask them to only work in the allowed area. This will make it easier for you to control the cleaning of your wooden floors and carpets.

It's easy to connect, the whole process only takes a couple of minutes, and they've even included a QR code on the robot so you don't have to manually find it.

One feature that we need to mention here is. Once connected, the cleaning is extremely customizable with many functions such as No Go Zones, and No Mopping Zones, and you can name each area of your house.

Our Experience: I did notice that occasionally the robot would circle phantom objects that weren't there. However, it's still not quite perfect during our testing process. We found it avoided a couple of things it shouldn't have and didn't avoid a couple of things that it should have.

Once you've done that, you can not only schedule specific areas for cleaning, but you can set the vacuum power mode or even the water flow rate on the mop differently for each room. You can also set up the water flow ( with 3 levels) and mopping mode ( 2 options) to be suitable for the wood material in your house.

The Q5 Plus is a kind of stripped-down version of higher-end Roborocks, literally stripped down. The Roborock Q5+ robot vacuum offers value for money if you want a higher mid-range option for carpet cleaning.

Because at the mid-range price, some functions and accessories are omitted on the Q5+, but the point is it was designed to be the minimalist version of a LIDAR robot vacuum with an auto-empty bin.

The secondary camera sensor for obstacle detection is omitted on this unit, We consider this reduction mainly for identifying obstacles to avoid during cleaning so it does not affect carpet cleaning performance.

Type: Robot Vacuum

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming

Pros:

• Can pick up larger debris and pet hair effectively with strong suction

• Works with Alexa for voice control

• LIDAR sensor for obstacle avoidance to prevent getting stuck under furniture.

• The runtime of up to 180 minutes on a single charge

Cons:

• More expensive than some other robotic vacuums

• Cannot climb steep thresholds and area rugs well

Like other Roborock vacuums, the Q5+ has a LIDAR sensor to map rooms quickly and accurately. It supports multi-tier mapping and various saved maps of saved maps using its "Intelligent recognition" feature.

Our team has tried to reality test in house map instead of the lab it mapped it very quickly. It has this new mapping mode where it doesn't clean but just looks around and tries to get the basic structure of the house, which only takes a few minutes for the LiDAR navigation system on this vacuum allows it to create super precise maps of your home. You can even view the maps it generates in 3D on the app!

Another huge pro was its ability to deep clean carpets. In our deep clean test, Q5+ got a 95% of cleaning rate with a lot of carpet surfaces ( deep and short) that we haven't ever seen with another Roborock Robot Vacuum including the RoboRock S7 Max V.

So if you're wondering if it's good with carpets, the answer is definitely yes. To do this, we think it is the perfect combination of suction power (suction force is guaranteed at 2700 Pa) and brush construction and their RPM when operating. It's good at collecting debris lurking in your carpet of all sizes including with heavier debris like cat litter, which it picked up even in its default power mode. 

According to the manufacturer's published documents, they can operate for 180 minutes on a single charge for certain spaces. It'll return to its charging dock on its own when the battery gets low, then finish cleaning where it left off once recharged.

So you don't have to fuss with manually charging it or restarting the cycle. This is beyond our imagination compared to other lines in the same segment of Rommba, the average running time is only up to 60 mins, and the Q5+ is many times more.

Our Experience: The trash bin can hold 2.7 liters or seven weeks of dirt, which is different from the previous bags from Robo Rock and is a better design than the older bag system in my opinion. All give you a continuous cleaning feeling instead of the interruption caused by having to return to the position to charge and empty the bin

However, compared to the higher-end Roborock S8 model, the Q5+ lacks some more advanced features such as a secondary camera sensor that identifies and tracks obstacles in real-time as well as a vibration cleaning system. However, with a mid-range price, the Q5+ still offers pretty good carpet cleaning performance and function.

The Bissell Spin Wave Wet and dry robotic vacuum gives you two ways to clean. It's engineered with an A2 tank system that powerfully or actively mops for you. In dry vacuuming mode, the Spin Wave robot collects pet hair, dirt, and other debris across multiple surface types. In wet mopping mode, this mighty machine utilizes its mop pads and Bissell formula to scrub away messes from your sealed hardwood floors.

Type: Robot Vacuum and Mop

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming, and Mopping

Pros:

• The Bissell costs less than many robot vacuums

• Multi-surface brushes and strong suction are effective at picking up pet hair

• The compact design fits easily under furniture

• The lithium-ion battery has a run time of up to 130 minutes

Cons:

• Not have mapping capabilities and uses a random cleaning pattern

Bissell created this two-tank cleaning system. It comes in vacuum mode for dry cleaning, which has this bin on the back that collects all your debris. And when you're ready to switch it over to mopping mode, you just take out the back tank and you'll put on the other tank. Fill it with water and you'll be all set to mop.

The Bissell SpinWave also has a soft surface avoidance sensor with 360-degree LiDAR Technology, which means it will avoid your carpets. We tested the vacuuming mode and the setup for vacuuming mode was very easy. All you have to do is charge it and start vacuuming by plugging in the base and putting the robot on the base.

Connect it to your Wi-Fi, and you'll be all set to go as soon as it charges. You're able to do very basic things with the robot, like check the battery status, and schedule cleanings on the Bissell Connect App that can make the robot start or return to the base.

Start cleaning in two different cleaning modes which are the normal mode, which will eventually just map your house and clean all over the floor.

Our Experience: With their optimized design to clean all corners, they optimize the collection of debris of various sizes. Their suction power is up to 2000Pa, plus the mopping mode and 2 cleaning pads can ensure that the wooden floor surface is cleaned perfectly.

However, for the mopping function to work, you need to add water to the tank. This can make you feel a little uncomfortable, but it lasts a long time and does not take much time to replace.

The water level for mopping can be adjusted (3 options) and detergent can be added to the tank to increase cleaning performance. A note when using detergents is that you should use products released by the manufacturer to ensure cleaning efficiency.

For homes with a large area, cleaning is very difficult even when using a robot vacuum cleaner. Inconveniences can come from insufficient battery life to clean in one go to too small a trash can to store large trigonometry. You must be very confused as to whether there is a vacuum cleaner suitable for your home. We want to bring you a great solution which is Deebot X1 Omni.

The most important thing to consider first is its mapping technology. TrueMapping 2.0 technology serves as the foundation on which Deebot X1 Omni shapes your home and combines with technology to plan cleaning most efficiently. It helps the machine identify the entire house in the most complete way from fixed objects to small objects.

In particular, ECOVACS has upgraded this technology to the most optimal level for different floors, integrating 3D maps with the ability to overcome obstacles. That's why Deebot X1 Omni will never get lost no matter how big your house is.

Type: Robot Vacuum and Mop

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming, and Mopping

Pros:

• The strong suction power of up to 5000Pa for effective cleaning.

• Automatic carpet detection switches between vacuuming and mopping modes

• Works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control

• Able to recognize and avoid pet waste

Cons:

• The high purchase price, especially with the self-emptying dock

• The hot water tank requires occasional refilling

Even if you buy a charger and a trash can, you still have to handle it manually and even every 2-3 days. But at Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo for a maximum limit of up to 75 days, that means you will not have to leave trash for more than 3 months but all cleaning jobs will still take place normally.

This is a premium product that is equipped with both mopping and suction functions, so cleaning your home becomes perfect. A variety of features such as adding cleaning water, drying after use, automatically emptying trash, ... are available on this device. The suction power of up to 5000 Pa and 4 cleaning stages (sweeping, rolling, vacuuming, and mopping) ensure that no dust particles can hide.

Our Experience: Another thing that makes us feel extremely convenient is that they are capable of self-emptying and storing for a long time.

For this robot, we did not do too many tests, the tests we give are all high difficulty tests mainly to demonstrate their maximum power. As for the suction force, I feel it is as strong as the Deebot T20 Omni, although according to the manufacturer's announcement, it is smaller. They collect dirt of different sizes and are very rarely trapped thanks to their ability to climb up to 20mm.

One thing that makes the home cleaner uncomfortable is the must to empty the trash bin of the robot vacuum when it is full, but you can say goodbye to that cause Shark IQ Robot Self Empty RV1001AE Vacuum holds up to a month's worth of dust and debris in its base station and according to the manufacturer's announcement, they can keep dirt for up to 45 days.

The whole appeal of a robot vacuum is less cleaning for you. But the truth is, most of them still need a lot of upkeep from you. You'll likely need to empty the dustbin after every use. And clean out hair and debris that get trapped frequently. This means at least one new chore you'll have to remember - emptying the dustbin.

Type:  Robot Vacuum

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming

Pros:

• IQ navigation to cover the entire floor space efficiently.

• Smart sensors to avoid collisions and falls

• The medium suction power of 1500Pa for regular cleaning performance

Cons:

• Does not have a mapping feature for a truly autonomous clean

• Noisier operation of around 65 - 70 decibels

The mapping on this robot vacuum is excellent. It always knows exactly where it's been. It makes perfectly straight by IQ Navigation (row-by-row), even lines in your carpeting with it needs to recharge. It goes on the shortest path back to the charger, recharges, and goes exactly back to the position where it left off.

I know we're splitting hairs here, but it's like it's nice to not have to clean this thing out. I let them clean about twice a week and I get about 60 days' worth of it before I have to empty it.

Another nice thing is it's very easy to empty. You just lift it and go dump it outside right into your garbage can or however you want to do it, shake it out and it's done. You pop it back in. It's so simple and so easy to clean.

That is such a great feature, I can't even tell you it's just one of those things. Like once you have it you can never live without it. Another thing I like about this one too is it has a self-cleaning brush roll which means it won't get hair stuck.

The battery life is really good on this thing too. It can do well, my house is about 1800 square feet and it can do it all in one charge, which is pretty good. I've had robot vacs in the past that will not do that all in one charge. They have to go back and recharge at least once.

You can control the robot from your phone or with your voice and set up a cleaning schedule so it automatically gets to work when you want it to. Plus it's also a compelling option for pet owners thanks to a self-cleaning brush roll and enough power to suck fur from carpeting. For the best experience with your Shark IQ robot, download the Shark Clean app.

Our Experience: During our testing of mapping, I'm just talking about robot vacuums in general with mapping, but they've really kind of perfected it with this one. 

Because the Shark IQ robot is smart enough to map your home and remember which room is which, you can use the app to choose where you want your robot to clean. Depending on your home layout, your robot may take a few runs to build a complete map. Let the robot explore as much of your home as possible. Once your robot has mapped your home then you can name these rooms.  

The case height is only 2.8 inches with a soft touch mechanical bumper installed at the front to help the G30 move smoothly even the small places such as under the sofa and avoid damage in the event of a collision.

If you own a house with a small area or you just want to use the robot vacuum in fixed spaces, noise is one of the causes that make you feel the most uncomfortable, but the noise level can be reduced to as low as 55db, making it extremely comfortable even in small spaces.

Type:  Robot Vacuum and Mop

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming, and Mopping

Pros:

• Affordable price compared to other robot vacuums with similar features

• 2-in-1 vacuuming and mopping function. Can vacuum carpets and mop hard floors automatically

• Dynamic Navigation 2.0 for efficient cleaning of large areas

• Avoids obstacles and falls using an array of sensors

Cons:

• The app has limited customizations for scheduling and zones

On the top cover, we see a control panel that has an indicator of connection to a Wi-Fi network and free mechanical buttons Start, Pulse, Force, return to the base for charging, and spot cleaning mode. The dust collector is located at the back and holds up a dry waste filtration system based on a HEPA filter that only the manufacturer allows the filter.

We are surprised that in this segment ( affodable) Eufy G30 was produced from high-quality plastic. This means that it can protect your robot vacuum avoid heavy damage and help it have long-lasting effects.

Also, you can start the automatic cleaning mode, force return to the charging base, start the spot cleaning mode, and set up a cleaning schedule. By choosing the time, days of the week, and the required section power, you can view the cleaning log which saves information about each cleaning as well as maps. In the settings section, you can share control with other users. This model supports control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistance.

Our Experience: It's equipped with four full protection sensors as well as an optical sensor that helps the robot to better navigate in space. Drop-proof technology is tested by us many times, the result is 100%. 

As for navigation within the house, the robot vacuum cleaner us Smart Dynamic Navigation 2.0. We have tested the navigation and how they clean and the result is first going through the entry available area with a snake ( row-by-row).

After which it makes a control pass of the perimeter and returns to the base for charging. When the battery is fully charged, they return to the previous stop point and continue the cleaning route as before.

This robot vacuum model is lighter equipped, and LIDAR in particular has a range of 26 feet. Now because this vacuum does have LIDAR, it's able to tackle your floors more completely with its path planning and based on observing the vacuum in action over the last week.

Their cleaning process is to lap around the room before cleaning the room row by row. On top of the Wyze Robot Vacuum is the LIDAR sensor, and usually if the vacuum does have one of these big circles, it's a pretty good bet that it does have LIDAR equipped with it. 

The Wyze robot vacuum has one induction sensor for detecting where the charging station is located. We assume this uses three of them to help triangulate the direction of the charging station and from using it over the last week it does seem to do a pretty good job of finding its charging station relatively quickly when the battery running out.

Type:  Robot Vacuum

Cleaning Method: Vacuuming

Pros:

• 2 hours of runtime provides enough time for most vacuuming needs

• Good performance on hard floors and low-pile carpets

• Quieter operation is around 55dB compared to other robot vacuums

• Easy to set up and use through the Wyze app

• Cann climb steep thresholds or area rugs up to 0.8 inches

Cons:

• Small dustbin requires frequent emptying

• Noisier operation around 65-70 decibels

This vacuum also has the standard Cliff Sensors, collision sensors, as well as an induction and speed sensor that can help your vacuum adjust speed based on the pitch of the floor and it enables the vacuum to slow down if for whatever reason it suddenly gains speed and this will help prevent it from hitting or bumping into objects.

The Wyze vacuum does have 3 adjustable suction settings: Quiet, Standard, and Strong which you can set up before scheduling the robot to run.

A lot of robot vacuums on the market have automatic suction and brush speed adjustments based on the surface or dust volume.

The contol app interface is really clean and simplistic which makes it easy for you. The app itself gives you the current map of the floor space and provides useful statistics like the square footage of the space that it just vacuums the vacuum's current charge level as well as the total time it took to run the last scheduled task. 

Our Experience: These vacuums would automatically detect this and increase the power of the brushes and suction. With that being said, this vacuum does not appear to have that feature, which is kind of a big disappointment for me.

The battery lasts about 110 minutes, which puts it really in the upper middle range for robot vacuums. And of course, this will depend on maintenance of the vacuum and how many times it's had charged throughout its life.

The Wyze Vacuum does have some pretty slim dimensions, and their height is only 3.7 inches so it was able to get under my couch and coffee table without any issues.

When considering buying a robot vacuum, there are several factors to ensure that you choose the best one for your needs. Here are some of the most important factors:

Cleaning Performance: The primary reason for purchasing a robot vacuum is to clean your floors. Therefore, it is essential to consider the cleaning performance of the robot vacuum before making a purchase. Look for a robot vacuum with strong suction power, efficient brushes, and effective filtration systems.

To determine cleaning performance, you need to rely on the specifications and information provided by the manufacturer such as suction power, sensors, mopping function, and suction function.

Depending on each case and different usage needs, you can choose the right product for your home. In case the need for use is not much, the floor area is small, do not have pets and do not have children, You should consider using products with a mid-range price because the amount of dirt stored in your house is not much.

As for a house with a large area, especially with many pets, it requires your robot vacuum cleaner to work more than usual. In this case, you need to choose high-end products with high cleaning performance and diverse functions to handle the dust problems you are having in your home.

Navigation and Mapping: A good robot vacuum should be able to navigate around your home without getting stuck or causing any damage. Look for a robot vacuum with advanced mapping and navigation technology that can create a map of your home and avoid obstacles.

If you have children in your home, you certainly cannot avoid having toys scattered everywhere. This makes it difficult for your robot vacuum to clean up. In general, they will face problems such as getting stuck or not being able to move smoothly, leading to reduced cleaning performance, and many places where the robot vacuum cleaner cannot reach.

Or you own a house with a large area and many floors that make locating and mapping extremely difficult. When they are not equipped with the best technology, they can have difficulty in mapping resulting in your experience not being good.

One piece of advice for those in the above situation is to choose a Roborock Q5+ robot that is integrated with the latest and most advanced navigation and mapping technology, which will surely help you get the job done with ease.

Battery Life: The battery life of a robot vacuum is important because it determines how long the vacuum can clean before needing to recharge. Look for a robot vacuum with a battery life of at least 60 minutes or more.

For some of today's newest robots, this isn't a huge drawback. Like the Eufy G30 Hybrid, when it realizes that the battery is about to run out, it will stop and move to the charging area, when fully charged again it will continue to move to the previous stop position and continue the cleaning route set out (tested by us).

It continues to draw the snake path (line to line) perfectly without any mess here. However, based on the area of ​​the floor that you need to clean, you should choose vacuum cleaners with longer battery life so that the cleaning process is not interrupted.

Noise Level: Most robot vacuums make some noise while cleaning, but some are quieter than others. If you have pets or children who are easily startled by loud noises, look for a robot vacuum with a low decibel rating.

A child's safe sound level at home is preferably below 65 dB. Most manufacturers pay attention to this problem, most of the machines on the market today reach from 56 - 58 dB.

You can refer to the iRobot Roomba s9+ model we evaluated above if you have a baby and don't like too much noise. This product has a very useful quiet mode and I'm sure you will like it.

Price: Robot vacuums come in a variety of price points, so it's important to consider your budget before making a purchase. The most popular price ranges are mainly in the under $300, under $500, and under $1000 levels, and keep in mind that higher-priced models often come with more features and better performance.

According to our assessment, if your needs are not too great, a price under $300 can be completely suitable for you.

Some models even include a mopping function such as Eufy L35 Hybrid that is not very appreciated, this is still the best option for you.

To make sure that we have the most accurate results, we've gathered all the necessary tools and various house things for our tests. We've divided the testing area into equal sections for each robot vacuum so that they can be tested separately by using different types of surfaces, such as hardwood floors and carpets, to test the suction capabilities of each robot.

We measure the volume of dust and drop it onto the testing area for the robot vacuum to collect over a set period. We then calculate the cleaning efficiency by comparing the amount of dust collected before and after suction. To give an objective overview of each machine's capabilities, we vary the types of dust used in our tests, such as coffee, oats, sand, flour, and more.

We conduct similar tests for noise levels, object avoidance, and corner cleaning, and we measure and record the results in the same way to ensure consistency and transparency. We can provide accurate and objective results by adhering to a set period for each test.

To provide a reality experience, we also conduct tests in an actual home environment to see how the robot vacuum performs in a practical setting. This provides results that are closer to what you might experience in your own home.

What is the best robot vacuum to buy?

There are a lot of great options out there, but some of the top brands and models include the iRobot Roomba, Shark IQ Robot, Eufy RoboVac, and Neato Botvac. The Roomba is probably the most well-known robot vacuum with advanced navigation and mapping features, but you can also find excellent vacuums from Shark and Eufy for more affordable prices.

If you want decent performance for a lower cost, brands like Eufy and Shark offer great value.

How well do robot vacuums clean compared to regular vacuums?

Now I know some people think there's no way a little robot can clean as well as a big upright or canister vacuum with serious suction power. But technology has come a long way! The best robot vacuums these days have specialized brushes, strong suction, and smart mapping to be super thorough. Will they do as deep a clean as a powerful vacuum you manually push across every inch? Not always - there are limits to their reach. But for day-to-day maintenance cleaning of pet hair, crumbs, dust, and dirt I've found they keep my floors remarkably tidy! And being able to run them more frequently without the physical effort makes up for some of that gap in thoroughness. It's a game changer for keeping floors constantly cleaned without becoming a chore.

What are the disadvantages of robot vacuum? 

Robot vacuums can't fully replace manual cleaning. They may miss some areas like corners and edges. Some struggle with high-pile carpets. They have smaller dustbins that require regular emptying. Obstacles and clutter can impede navigation. But for daily touch-up cleaning, robot vacuums do an excellent job keeping floors tidy in between deeper cleanings. Overall, they provide huge time savings and cleaner floors for most home needs.

Are robot vacuums worth the cost?

For most households, a good robot vacuum that fits your budget is worth the investment. They deliver convenient everyday cleaning by working independently around your home. You get cleaner floors with little daily effort. Robot vacuums have come down in price over the years while increasing suction power and smart features. With regular use, a robot vacuum can keep your floors significantly cleaner than just occasional deep cleanings.

How often should you change the filter on a robot vacuum?

You should change the filter on a robot vacuum every 2-4 months depending on how often you use it and the type of flooring and debris. Some manufacturers recommend changing filters as often as every month if you have pets, while others say every 3-6 months is sufficient. Over time, the filter collects dust, hair, and other allergens which makes it less effective and eventually needs replacement to maintain good suction power. Check your specific model's recommendations for filter maintenance intervals.

Do robot vacuums work well with carpets?

Robot vacuums can work fairly well on carpets if they have a suction power of 1500 Pa or higher and proper bristle strips and roller brushes for agitating the carpet fibers. Some high-end robotic vacuums have specialized "Max" modes that kick up the suction power specifically for carpets. However, robot vacuums tend not to work as well on carpets compared to upright vacuums due to their slower speed, lower profiles, and inability to get into corners and edges of rooms. So robot vacuums are generally better suited for hard floors than carpets, though high-end models with strong power and proper brushes can give decent results on medium-pile carpets.

How long do robot vacuums last?

On average, robot vacuums tend to last between 5 and 8 years before requiring replacement or major repairs. However, some factors can affect their lifespan including how often they're used, the type of flooring, whether filters are changed regularly, and how well they're maintained. Newer models from reputable brands often come with 2-3 year warranties which covers any defects in parts or workmanship, but not normal wear and tear over time. After that, some components like the battery, charging dock, and wheels tend to degrade and need eventual replacement. If Robot vacuums are used within their recommended capabilities and properly maintained, many can provide several years of reliable service.
