Best Rated Robot Vacuum and Mop

Eufy's robot mop and vacuum is among the top-rated product in its class. It takes a lot of the work out of cleaning your floors. It can re-fill its own water tank, self-empty its larger tower bin and swap out the dust bag.

The most advanced models are able to map your home and note furniture placement. They also can detect dangers and help you avoid them, such as loose charging cables or loose socks.

Object Avoidance

Object avoidance allows your robot to avoid hitting objects like toys, cords, and clothing that could be caught in the vacuum. These features are especially important if you have pets or children who may leave objects on the floor for your robot to find.

Depending on the model you choose, your robot may have a variety of sensor options to help it navigate around obstacles. Some of the most popular are crossed IR sensors that focus beams of infrared light throughout the room to detect things like doors and furniture legs. This technology is widely used by many robots available, and you can also see it in the top models that cost more than others.

Other object avoidance technology that is available in more expensive robots is 3D Structured Light which uses cameras and a crossed IR sensors to map the surroundings and identify obstacles. Time of Flight (ToF) sensors that measure and emit the duration that it takes the light to reflect off of an object, in order to determine its distance, is also available. These are less common but are a great option to add to your robot in case you're looking to add peace of mind.

Most of the top-rated robots can also mop your floors. Some robots come with very own water tanks that let them clean up messes and spills. You'll have to empty your robot hoover and mop's onboard dust bin and wipe down its cameras and sensors between cleaning sessions, but these chores shouldn't take much of your time.

Mapping

Robot vacuums need to be able to map. This lets them navigate your home without bumping against things like walls. Without mapping, they may be tripped by furniture, cords or pet toys, and end up cleaning less of your space. By using sensors, many robots map your home to keep track of any obstacles and help them navigate around them. They can sweep the floor in fewer steps and save you time. Many of the best robot vacuums also come with this feature, which allows you to create no-go areas.

Robots with a built-in LIDAR system use this technology to create a map of your home quickly and efficiently. The Eufy Clean robot separated my room into different areas and cleaned each in a separate manner during our tests. This was a vast improvement over other models that only had sensors on the front of the vehicle. This was a much more precise way to navigate my home and it was easy for me to control via the app that came with the device.

While there are no robot vacuums that can scale stairs, the best models do have obstacles avoidance and mapping features. These tools let them remove debris from low-pile and hard floors, and to avoid falling down the stairs. Some tools have sensors that prevent them falling over the edge of stairs. Some have boundaries to keep them out.

Some robots have an enormous base tower that is able to collect dirt. This decreases the amount of dust or allergens released in your home. The bases can be left for weeks or even months without emptying and are particularly helpful for those who suffer from allergies. Additionally, some models come with self-emptying systems that allow you to take out the dust bins without needing to open and close them.

Wi-Fi Enabled

Some robot vacuums make use of Wi-Fi to connect with their apps, allowing you to control them with your smartphone rather than (or in addition to) an actual remote. These models are more expensive, but they help you save time by allowing you to plan cleaning time on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. They can also allow you to modify and save floor maps as well as offer alternative cleaning patterns.

The most advanced robot vacuums utilize dual sensors, which combine with a LIDAR system to map your area with a structured light sensor that can detect objects and avoid them even if they're under furniture or power cords. Those features allow your robot to maneuver into tight spaces such as the nook underneath the kitchen cabinets or beneath sofas, where other robots have difficulty. They also have a faster speed to get around obstacles, and have longer runtimes, and bigger dust bins. This makes them ideal for large homes than basic robots.

The best rated robot vacuums tend to be swift, intelligent and powerful cleaning up all kinds of floor debris such as pet hair, cat litter and other dirt. They also are quiet, making them an excellent choice for homes with pets and young children. Most robot vacuum users we've spoken to report that they appreciate the ease of having their floors cleaned with minimal effort. This is particularly true when they are used regularly. Robots can last just as long as traditional vacuum cleaners with the proper maintenance (cleaning rotating brushes and keeping track of replacement parts). PCWorld offers a manual that includes some helpful tips to ensure that your robot is running smoothly.

Dust Bags Larger

While a robotic vacuum may not be as efficient as an upright or canister model, it is great in removing dust and debris that regular vacuuming leaves behind. It can be used to do quick repairs to floors that are not clean and can also traverse around cords or other obstacles in your home. If you don't want to do the deep cleaning yourself, a robot cleaner can be sent out to sweep your floors on a regular schedule.

The top-rated robot vacuums come with large dust bags that can hold more dirt than one room. This will help you save time and money on replacement bags. This feature is available on a variety of models including our top model one, the Ecovacs T30S Combo. This all-in-one robovac is a high-performance robovac and comes with a self emptying bin. It comes with a mopping function and an efficient navigation. It's a close contest between this and the iRobot Roomba Combo j9+, which has smart mapping and avoidance technology. The robovac is more expensive but has a larger capacity.

Another major difference between the two models is how well they handle hair that is long and human, which can tangle in the rollers on some robots. The Roborock Q5 Max+, SwitchBot K10S Plus and Roborock Q5 Max+ are the most efficient models. They both have excellent hair pickup and tangle avoidance scores, together with excellent auto vacuum and mop empty performance and great path planning. The Eufy and Shark Matrix Plus are also good choices with respectable hair pickup and tangle avoidance but not as much planning for paths or auto empty.

The latest robots are fitted with sensors that detect dirt and debris on carpets, and they are more adept in removing pet hair. Some robots have a mopping mode where they can use the reservoir of water to clean up stuck-on debris and spills. This feature is essential for families with pets and children.

Maintenance

A robot vacuum can help keep up with your home. The best models can remove more dirt pet hair and lint, than a broom on low-pile or hard flooring. They also have navigational features to prevent them from getting stuck on power cords, rug fringe, or furniture.

Depending on the model, a top-rated robotic vacuum is also able to run multiple times a day or allow you to watch it at work via an app. These machines are useful however they can get clogged and require regular maintenance. This involves emptying the dust bin that is onboard (or in certain cases, the base's bigger bin) as well as checking the brushes for tangled fur, and a regular cleaning of the filters and drying them according to the specifications of the manufacturer.

Emily Rairdin is a vacuum expert and store owner apprentice from University Vacuum + Sewing. She believes that a robotic vacuum can last for three to five years if it is properly care. She recommends emptying the bin and brush roll often, cutting free hairs that get caught in the brushes, and then regularly cleaning and drying the filter if your machine is a mop as well. It's also a good robot vacuum idea to clean the sensors and charging contacts on the dock or the robot every now and then with a soft cloth. You can refill and recharge your robot prior to the next clean-up session.
