Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Robots

Robot vacuums use navigation tools like sensors, lasers and cameras to create a map of your space and clean effectively, while avoiding obstacles. Some can even self-empty their own mop and dustbins!

Many connect to apps or digital voice assistants for hands-free cleaning. Other options include boundary strips and auto-empty docks to reduce the work you have to do.

1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

Roborock is well-known for its top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners, and the flagship model does not disappoint. It is equipped with more advanced features, but its real advantage is that it can intelligently clean for you. It can detect stain types and floor types, as well as zones that aren't allowed. It does this using a camera and smart map to analyze its surroundings. This lets it know what to do at any given time, so you don't need to keep pressing buttons or set different modes.

Like all Roborock vacuums, it can also mop. This is a great addition to the range as it makes this robovac more useful than before. The mop head can also be turned into scrub mode to remove harder dirt.

3. Eufy X10

If you're looking for a top-quality all-rounder, the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can do everything you have a robot vacuum or mop to do, all at a reasonable cost.

This model does a fantastic job of handling floor cleaning tasks hands-free from mopping to sweeping and even dusting. Its base station takes slightly more space than other models, requiring 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in front.

Its advanced navigation technology can follow the design of your home, while storing and utilizing the data in its internal memory without ever having to transfer it to the cloud or an external source. The X10 can store room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes so that they can be efficient and thorough.

The X10 smart object recognition system is highly efficient, allowing it recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery automatically, which is an excellent feature. However, I found that the X10 could be stuck on thicker rug, and then crash loudly over them and sometimes pushing its front brush into the rugs.

Overall it's a top quality robo vacuum and mop that's disappointed by a confusing application. As opposed to the iRobot app, which holds your hand throughout the process of setting up your robot and instructing you how to use it, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure it out on your own. It's an excellent choice for those looking to personalize it to suit their needs.

The battery life is not as long as its competitors and might require the battery to recharge every so often if you have more space in your home. It is also very loud when operating, and might not be a good choice to use in places where quiet is required. However, it is an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is an item that stands out in its category due to its sleek, contemporary design.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is a new version of Switchbot's Mini robot vacuum. This latest version combines an Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor, and upgraded suction power that can reach 3000Pa or more to provide superior corner coverage and overall cleaning.

In my tests, the K10 Plus had a very excellent battery life. It lasted for 110 minutes on a single run, which is higher than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.
