The Best Robot Hoover The most effective robot vacuum will sweep and vacuum your floors without having to be involved. It also leaves the floors spotless. Its affordable price and high-end functions (such as dirt detectors) are positives. Be remote hoover to inspect your robot's brushes for tangled hair and large particles and wash them if needed. Some models will also empty the onboard dustbin and deposit it in an additional bin located at the base. This reduces the amount fine dust that is released into the air. 1. Roomba Q5 Pro The Q5 Pro and its sibling the more expensive Q7 Max Series, are among the most powerful robot vacuums we've test. They are equipped with top-of-the-line motors which can produce up to 5,500 Pascals of suction force. Like other premium iRobot models (including the top-rated model) they utilize intelligent mapping technology to create detailed floor plans and avoid common obstacles like cords and furniture legs. They also come with carpet boost, a feature which boosts the robot's power when it detects a lot of dirt on the carpet to get it clean quickly. The Q5 and Q7 Max Series both scored extremely well in our tests of floors with no carpet, and they are particularly adept at cleaning dog hair. However, they do have several flaws that prevent them from being our top pick. One of them is that the Q5's navigation system does not have AI-powered obstacle avoidance, so it's prone to get caught up in socks and shoes and couldn't navigate tightly packed rooms very efficiently in our tests. Also, it doesn't have cameras that let it see the corners of a room. Still, it's very good for those who want to save money on an iRobot Roomba and you have a bare-floored home or office. Additionally, it's quiet and can be used while you're at work, or at school. The only thing it lacks that you don't get in the more expensive iRobot Roomba X30 is edge-to-edge vacuuming of floors with no floor. It's also less effective when it comes to mopping. It relies on disposable wet wipes that don't adhere very well and cannot handle dried-on debris. The Q5 does have a self-emptying dock, though. And, if you need to, you can swap the mopping pad for dry ones in just a few just a few seconds. 2. iRobot Roomba X30 The iRobot Roomba X30 is a compact elegant vacuum cleaner that can sweep floors. Its nimble navigation and intelligent cleaning maps make it simple to clean and efficient in tackling larger particles like pet hair. It also comes with a self-emptying dustbin as well as powerful suction, and support for virtual boundaries. It's the most efficient robotic hoover for carpets, but it falls behind some competitors in terms of deep cleaning. This high-performance vacuum and mop uses sensors to keep away from obstacles and pet waste. It also learns the structure of your home over time and provide better cleaning. The app lets you customize zones and change the cleaning schedule. It has a battery lifespan that is similar to other models. When the X30 Ultra is in a carpeted space, you can tell it to pull back and extend its mop. This can help avoid cross-contamination. Its flex arm is also perfect for getting under furniture that is low and along baseboards. However, it doesn't have the same level of washboard performance as our other Editors' Choice picks, the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Pro+ as well as the iRobot Combo j9+. During testing, X30 Ultra was the fastest robot vacuum/mop to complete the task of cleaning a whole home, with 66 per cent of its battery remaining. It also did a great job of cleaning a mix of floors and rooms with various flooring types, such as certain area rugs. Its obstacle detection was superb and it stayed clear of fake dog turds and socks, shoes and bundles cables. It's more expensive than iRobot Combo v9+ or iRobot Roomba j9+ but has superior suction and an onboard bin that is automatically empty into the base. It also supports voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It can even clean the floor after vacuuming it, something we've not seen on other robot vacuum/mop combos. 3. Roomba X40 from iRobot The robot vacuum and mop combination has a sleek, circular design that appears much like a Roomba model than the boxy models from the rivals. It's among our most appealing looking robot vacuums. The latest model from iRobot is also the most intelligent. It comes with advanced features, like Enhanced Dirt Detection as well as future compatibility (another company's robot that can wash mop pads on its own). It's the only robotic vacuum/mop that scored 100% in our testing thanks to a blend of high-tech sensors, which include a camera, structured light system and multiple lasers. The X40 Ultra is also the only robot in our tests that can fully self-refill and empty its base station and boasts an industry-leading 12,000Pa suction and self-cleaning mop pads. Like other iRobot models like the X40 is easy to use, offering a simple mobile app interface, and integration with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit as well as Google Assistant. The only drawback is that the X40 is still a noisy unit. This can be a problem in the mornings before work or in the evening when you're trying to fall asleep. It's also a bit expensive, though it's not as expensive as Ecovacs X2 Omni or Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra Both of which are equally capable and better-looking. If you're willing with a little more noise and some additional cost, this is a very capable two-in-one that should satisfy most people. iRobot L20 Ultra The L20 Ultra is a top-of-the-range robot vacuum and mop with many advanced features that let you get rid of your chores. Similar to Ecovacs' range-topping X2 Omni and Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra, the L20 is designed to be a hands-free cleaning machine that can take the care of mopping and vacuuming, with a multi-function dock that automatically empty the vacuum's trash bin, refills its water tank and washes and dry the mop pads. The smart robot utilizes LIDAR and structured lighting to create floor plans and detect obstacles. It navigates more intelligently than its competitors with premium features. It also comes with a front-mounted camera for real-time detection of hazards but this wasn't completely foolproof in our tests, and could be confused with power cords or obstructions. The vacuum cleaner comes with a maximum suction of 7,000 Pascals which is more than enough to do the job. It also comes with a feature known as “Intelligent Dirt Detection”, that regulates the power of the vacuum and adjusts cleaning frequency for various areas of the house based on how dirty those areas are. For larger houses it's worth looking for models with spot or zone cleaning modes that allow you to instruct the robot to clean a particular area of your home using the app or voice commands. If you have a lot of furniture, a stair mode is also a good option. For families with busy schedules, a recharge feature and resume feature that allows your robot vacuum to resume where it left off could be very beneficial. 5. iRobot Roomba RX3 The RX3 is a more efficient cleaner than you would imagine from its price. It vacuums well and was able to remove 55% of debris in our tests. (It was only second to the Roomba Q5 Pro). It also mops using a single pad and a reciprocating movement which is cleaner than the majority of the robot mop cleaners that we've examined. It's also extremely self-sufficient, with a fully-featured app, and a self-emptying base that can be washed. The well-designed iRobot app guides you through a mapping run that gathers information about your floorplan as well as any “no-go” areas you mark on the map. It can be used to design cleaning schedules, or to organize a spot-clean. You can also use it to prioritize your dirtiest areas to improve performance. The app also gives access to many options, including seasonal suggestions, custom maps and advanced settings for your cleaning. Its shape is more rectangular than most other robot vacuums, which means it can get to corners and under furniture more easily. It also has a strong 8000 Pascal suction and combs that are intelligent for pet hair. You can also create a spot-cleaner which will thoroughly clean the area. The Miele Scout RX3 Home Vision HD offers a sleeker and less expensive alternative to iRobot Roomba. It's more appealing, Dolce & Gabbana-esque design and its twin cameras resemble cute eyes. It is great at vacuuming, but it is more likely to be stuck on low thresholds. It also has a higher noise than other top robot vacuums we've tested. It also comes with an app that is less intuitive and a small base station that does not double as a bin to empty.
