What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A good robot vacuum can help you stay on top of pet hair, lint and dust on a regular basis. Many robot vacuums have applications that allow you to schedule cleaning times. You can also set virtual boundaries or 'walls,' to keep the vacuum away from areas you don't want to be cleaned.

This smart vacuum and mop creates a home map after its first trip, and then it will remember your space for future use. It comes with a large dust bin that automatically empties and self-cleaning brush roll.

Object Detection

When selecting a robot vacuum cleaner, choose one that can pick-up big items such as toys and lamp cords and dust particles that are fine. This will ensure that they do not get caught in the roller brush or left on your floor. This is particularly crucial if your robot is going to be regularly cleaned by children or pets.

It's an excellent idea to choose a model with strong motors and lots of suction power. This will help it be more effective in removing pet hair, dust and lint from your hardwood and carpet floors.

Another important consideration is the size of your room. If you have an apartment it is possible to choose one that has multiple cleaning zones so you can clean your entire house in a single session. Certain models also include mopping functions, which can be used to keep your floors looking fresh and clean.

Robot vacuums can last a long time however they'll need to be cleaned regularly and properly. Regularly cleaning the rotating brushes and emptying your dust bin, and wiping the sensors will keep your robot working efficiently for many years. Many of the robot vacuum owners we speak to have owned their machines for ten years or longer (and have replaced motors, brushes and batteries as time went by).

A basic robot will cost you less than a full-sized vacuum cleaner, but they'll do a fantastic job of keeping up with dirt on the surface, pet hair and dust. They're a great maintenance cleaner that you can distribute often throughout the week to keep your floor free of dirt. However, they don't offer as much smart technology, and can be susceptible to becoming stuck or require human intervention.

Object Avoidance

The top robot vacuums make use of cameras, sensors or lasers to navigate your home and avoid getting stuck or falling down the stairs. Some models can return to their dock or base when their batteries are low. They also can avoid obstacles such as furniture cords and legs. Some of the more expensive models come with mapping capabilities that allow them to remember your home's layout and therefore spend less time bouncing off walls.

If you're not looking to spend the money on the most sophisticated robotic vacuums, you can find a model that is capable of removing pet hair, dirt, dust and debris from floors that are hard like tile and wood as well as carpets with low pile. They can also handle larger particles like nails with rusty screws, metal screws or even toys that have been discarded. Some models even have an auto-emptying base, which is useful for those who don't want to empty the dustbin after every cleaning run.

Certain robotic vacuums come with smart features that make the look of a stick vacuum old-fashioned. They include scheduling, zone-targeting and the capability to control them via an app or a voice assistant, like Alexa. You can also set up cleaning zones and virtual walls to block off areas you do not want the robots to enter.

Certain robotic vacuums, such as the Eufy 11S or my former favorite, Roborock S8, come with obstacle avoidance technology to keep them from tripping over furniture or cords. Other models, like the iRobot Roomba j7+, have more sophisticated AI obstacle avoidance that utilizes sensors powered by processors to identify and avoid items like shoes, lamp cords, socks and pet waste. It's a bit more expensive than the other bots I've tested but it did an impressive job of avoiding obstacles within my home and rarely got stuck or derailment while working on my flooring.

While the iRobot's j7+ was a good obstacle avoidance bot but it wasn't always able to do well in removing dust and crumbs from my rugs. It also had a tendency to over-vacuum certain areas resulting in a lot of dust in the filters and a less tidy house.

Smart Mapping

The best Robot mop for lvp robot vacuums include an app that allows you to modify cleaning modes, make schedules, and look at a map of the floor area that is covered by the machine. This is an extremely useful feature that some competitors do not have. It is easy to create profiles that automatically start your robot at specific times and keep it running on regularly, for example, cleaning your living room prior to dinner or every other day.

A good app can also allow you to control your robot via voice commands. Certain models can be controlled by Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant and can work entirely hands-free, meaning you can say "start cleaning" or "change cleaning mode" without using the app.

Find the model with a large dust bin. This allows you to complete numerous cleaning sessions without having to empty it. There are also models that are self-emptying that take some of the labor out of emptying the robot after each run of vacuuming.

If you're looking to purchase a robot that does more than vacuum, consider a model with mopping capabilities. These are usually larger than robotic vacuums, and include a tank of water that can hold multiple cleaning sessions worth of dust and dirt before it needs to be empty.

Robots that are more sophisticated can make their own maps and remember the layout of your home from one cleaning session to the next, which prevents them from getting lost or stuck. This can make a huge difference in the efficiency of your robot vacuums, since it won't have to spend time returning to the beginning of the room when it encounters furniture or walls.

Our testers who used robots with this feature found it to be extremely efficient, and could comfortably sit back and watch TV or perform other chores while the robot cleaned. Certain models utilize laser navigation to create a map of your home. You can then program them to clean the bedroom after dinner, or in all rooms while you're working.

App Control

If you're looking to change the frequency at which the robot cleans your home and choose the cleaning mode it is recommended to purchase one that is compatible with an app for mobile devices. Within the app, you can check the status of your vacuum as well as its dust bin. Some of the best robotic mop and vacuum robot vacuums are controlled by voice with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri Shortcuts.

It is simple to maintain a robot equipped with a washable filter and a self-emptying container, especially when the filter can be easily removed and rinsed. Another feature that is great is a high-powered brush that can be found in corners and along baseboards which makes it easier to clean up dirt and hair. Some robots are more adept in avoiding chair legs than others. Some have sensors that automatically clean brushes to prevent clogging.

Some robot vacuums have navigation tools that allow them to understand your home and navigate around obstacles. The top models come with sensors and cameras that recognize obstacles like stairs, furniture and cords. On the other hand, less expensive models may use boundary strips that you put on the floor to mark areas you don't want it to enter. Avoidance of objects is particularly important for families with children who have toys and socks scattered throughout the house, because it allows your robot to grab these objects instead of scattering them.

We're starting to see more robots equipped with mops which are great for people who have hard floors and require to mop them regularly. These robots have a water reservoir built into their chassis or as a separate component that can be swapped in when ready to mop. They may require frequent refills, but are ideal for homes with hard floors that can't be cleaned easily with vacuum cleaners.

These robots are packed with some amazing technology, and they cost a lot less than you would expect. In fact, you can find an affordable model for less than $200 that does a good job of getting rid of pet hair and crumbs from hard floors while also navigating the edges of lightweight carpets or area carpets. The robot can be programmed to vacuum a particular room on a regular schedule. It can also be controlled remotely via an app or by pressing buttons.
