What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A good robot vacuum can keep you on top of pet hair, lint, and dust on a daily basis. Many robot vacuums work with apps that allow you to schedule cleaning sessions. You can also set virtual boundaries, or 'walls,' to ensure that the vacuum is kept away from areas that you don't want to be cleaned.

This mop and vac creates a home map after its first run, memorizing your space for future jobs. It has self-cleaning brush rolls as well as an extra-large dust bin that empty automatically.

Object Detection

When you are choosing a robotic vacuum, look for one that is able to pick up big items, such as lamps and toys as well as dust particles. This will ensure they don't become entangled in the roller brush, and aren't left on your floors. This is especially important if your robot will be regularly cleaned by children or pets.

It's recommended to select a model that has strong motors and lots of suction power. This will make it more effective at getting up pet hair, lint and dust off your carpets and hardwood floors.

Another factor to consider is the size of your space. If you have a large home, you might choose one with multiple cleaning zones that can clean the entire house in one session. Some models have a mopping feature that can be used to keep floors looking clean and fresh.

Robot Vacuum Mops vacuums can last a long time, but they'll need to be maintained regularly and in a proper manner. Cleaning the rotating brushes and emptying the dust container and wiping down the sensors on a regular basis will keep your robot running smoothly for the years to come. Many robot vacuum owners who we talk to have been using their machines for 10 years or longer (and have replaced motors, brushes, and batteries along with time).

A basic robot will cost you less than a full-size vacuum cleaner, however they'll do a fantastic job at removing dirt and pet hair, and dust. They're an excellent maintenance cleaner that you can distribute several times a week to keep your floors clean. They don't have as much technology and are more susceptible to becoming jammed or requiring manual intervention.

Object Avoidance

The best robot vacuums use sensors, cameras or lasers to guide you around your home, avoiding getting stuck or falling down the stairs. Some models can return to their base or dock when their battery is depleted. They can also stay clear of obstacles such as furniture cords and legs. The ones that are more expensive usually have mapping capabilities that allow them to learn the design of your home and lessen the time you spend running into walls.

If you're not looking to splurge on the most advanced robotic vacuums, you can find a model that does a great job of removing pet hair, dirt, dust and dust from floors made of tiles and wood, as well as carpets with a low pile. They also can handle larger particles like nails with rusty screws, metal screws or discarded toys. Some have a base that automatically empties itself, which is ideal if you do not want to empty it every cleaning session.

Many robotic vacuums also come with innovative features that make a standard stick vacuum seem prehistoric with features like schedules, zone targeting and the ability to control them via an app or voice assistant like Alexa. You can also create cleaning zones and 'virtual walls to block off areas you don't want the robot to enter.

Some robotic vacs such as the Eufy 11S and my former top choice the Roborock S8, have obstacle avoidance technology that keeps them from crashing into furniture or tangling cords. Others, like the iRobot Roomba j7+, have more advanced AI obstacle avoidance, which uses cameras and processor-powered smarts to detect and avoid objects like shoes, lamp cords, socks, and pet waste. It's a little more expensive than the other bots I've tried, but it does an excellent job of avoiding obstacles, and never is stuck or tripped while working on my floor.

The J7+ from iRobot was a fantastic obstacle avoidance robot, Robot Vacuum Mops but it did not always do a great job at avoiding crumbs and dirt on my rugs. It also tends to over-vacuum certain areas, resulting in a lot of extra dust in the filter and a less-clean house.

Smart Mapping

A few of the top robot vacuums come with an app that lets you to customize cleaning settings and schedules, as well as view a map of your area of floor that the machine covers. This is a handy feature, and one that many competitors don't have. This lets you create profiles which will automatically start the robot at specified times, and keep it running regularly. For example, it could be cleaning the living area every day or before dinner.

A good app will also allow you to control your robot via voice commands. Certain models are compatible with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, which allows you to control your robot with voice commands.

To have a hands-free experience, opt for models with a large dust bin that can accommodate several cleaning sessions before having to be emptied. There are models that are self-emptying that take some of the work out of emptying the machine after each vacuuming run.

If you're looking for a robot that does more than vacuum, consider one that has a mopping function. These are typically larger than the robotic vacuums and include an internal water tank which can store multiple cleaning sessions worth of dirt and other debris prior to needing to be cleaned.

Robots that are more advanced can develop their own maps and keep track of the plan of your house from one cleaning session to the next, which prevents them from getting lost or stuck. This can make a big difference in the speed at which your robot vacuums, as it won't be spending time returning to the beginning of the room whenever it comes into contact with walls or furniture.

Our test participants who utilized the robot that has this feature found it to be extremely efficient, and could comfortably sit back and watch TV or perform other chores while the robot was cleaning. Some of these models utilize laser navigation, and can create an exact map of your entire house, which means you can program them to clean just the bedroom after dinner, or each room of the house while you're working.

App Control

If you're looking to change how often the robot cleans your house and select a cleaning option, it's best to get one that is compatible with a mobile app. In the app, you can also monitor the condition of your vacuum as well as its dust bin. Some of the top robot vacuums can be operated by voice using Alexa, Google Assistant or robot vacuum mops Siri Shortcuts.

A robot with a self-emptying bin and washable filters is simple to keep clean, particularly when you are able to access the filter and take it off it to wash it. A high-powered brush is another great feature that can reach into corners and along baseboards to remove dirt and hair. Certain robots are better at avoiding chair leg than others. Others have sensors that automatically clean brushes to prevent the clogging.

Some robo-vacs have navigation tools that aid them in navigating obstacles and help you understand your home. The most expensive models employ sensors and cameras to detect obstacles such as stairs, furniture, and cords. Less expensive models might utilize boundary strips to mark off areas where you don't want it to go. Avoidance of objects is crucial for families with children who throw socks and toys scattered around the house, as it allows your SereneLife Robot Vacuum Cleaner - Upgraded Model for Clean Floors to grab those objects instead of scattering them.

Robots are increasingly equipped with mop heads. This is beneficial for those with floors that are hard and need to mop frequently. These robots come with a reservoir of water built into their chassis or as a separate component that you swap in when they're ready to mop. They might need to be refilled more often than other types of robots, but they're perfect for homes with hard floors that aren't easily cleaned by vacuum.

These robots come with some impressive technology, and they cost significantly less than you'd think. In fact, you can get a decent one for less than $200 that can do a decent job of cleaning pet hair and crumbs from hard floors, and also traversing the edges of lightweight carpets or area carpets.
