It can hold up to 60 days of debris and looks easy on the eye compared to other bases — plus it’s more compact too. This robot vacuum scored well for collecting large debris, such as cereal and kitty litter, collecting 98.33 and 94.6% respectively. We’ve seen better performances on pet hair, but the score was still a respectable 82.5%. Ultimately, this is a great investment if your pets are prone to accidents and you want to avoid further mess.
- Stick vacuums are handy devices that place the dust canister at the top of the stick, where it’s easily accessible.
- The ability of the rubber main brush to float to meet uneven surfaces sets this robot vacuum apart from the competition.
- It can also resume a cleaning session from where it left off if it needed to return to its docking station to recharge.
- Its defining feature is supposed to be its strong suction, with two turbines pulling 2,000 pascals each (whereas most laser-nav bots have a single turbine and less than 2,500 pascals of suction total).
If the S7 MaxV Ultra is out of your price range, the S7+ is an excellent alternative. It can't refill its own water tank, clean its own mopping cloth, or function as a home security camera, but it offers all the other perks of the S7 MaxV Ultra for $400 less. There was so much jargon and no one seemed to be able to tell me the actual useful information. So I started this website to save you time, money, and hassle by providing easy-to-read reviews.
An Option That Does It All: Vacuum, Mop, Smart Home Wash And Dry
After methodically covering our test floors, the Shark positioned itself back on the dock and emptied every speck it picked up. And not only did it pick up what we put down, but it went back to nab one straggler that it missed on its first pass. Flexible bristles and fins prevent the hair tangles we see on other robots. The dust bin is extra-large to hold more debris and is easy to remove and empty; its sealed HEPA system is a plus for allergy sufferers. Through the SharkClean app, you can customize cleaning to better match your home and needs.

IRobot Roomba I7+: Most Powerful Suction, Ideal For Pet Hair
Knowing the size of your home will help you pick a robotic vacuum with a long-enough battery life. WiFi-enabled design integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. Equipped with a Tri-Brush cleaning system to handle debris on all types of floors. More advanced robot vacuums have lasers on the front of the machine and some on the underside of the machine too. These lasers detect where furniture, objects, and edges are in your home helping to avoid bumps and cliff detection prevents the machine from falling down the stairs.
For a lot of people, the app’s robust controls are worth the fiddling and occasional frustration. A possible side effect of the Roomba i3 EVO’s design is that it may be relatively slow compared with other smart-mapping bots, like our other top pick, the Roborock S4 Max. Although those other bots use lasers or cameras to help them map and clean areas, the i3 EVO still utilizes gyroscopes to help it navigate. Laser-nav bots can learn your home’s layout in a single session, whereas the i3 EVO and higher-end Roombas typically need two or three sessions of training. The laser-nav bots also tend to bump into less stuff than the Roombas do and complete their jobs faster as a result. However, we still predict that Roomba bots on average will last longer than any of their competitors and work better at getting hair out of rugs.
Often the machine would push the piece of fake poop from one end of our test pen to the other. We lab-tested leading models from Neato, Samsung, iRobot, Roborock, Eufy, Ecovacs and other brands to pick the best robot vacuum. In most homes, we think a bot will stay in good shape if you do about 15 minutes of maintenance per month, maybe a little more if the bot has a heavy workload. For all bots, you need to leave a few feet open around and above the dock. If the dock is in a cluttered area or under a piece of furniture, there’s a good chance the bot will not re-dock.
