The Best Robot Hoover The most effective robot hoover will vacuum and mop without needing your attention, and will leave your floors spotless. Its low cost and top-of-the-line functions (such as dirt detector) are positives. Examine your robot's brush regularly for tangled debris and hair. Wash them when necessary. Some models also self-empty their onboard dustbin into a larger bin at the base, which decreases the amount of fine dust that is released into the air. 1. Roomba Q5 pro The Q5 Pro and its sibling, the pricier Q7 Max Series, are among the most powerful robot vacuums we've examined. They are equipped with motors that are top of the line and can suction up to 5,500 Pascals. Like auto vacuum with premium features (including the top model) they employ smart mapping to create detailed floor plans and eliminate household obstacles like furniture leg. The robots also feature Carpet Boost, a feature that increases its power when it senses dirt on the carpet. The Q5 and Q7 Max Series both scored extremely well in our tests on bare floors They are also adept in cleaning hair from dogs. However, they have several flaws that prevent them from being our top pick. One of the flaws of the Q5 is its navigation system does not have AI-powered obstacles avoidance. It's also prone to getting stuck on shoes and socks and could not navigate densely packed rooms very well in our tests. It doesn't also have a camera that can see around corners. It's still a great deal, especially if your office or home has lots of unfinished flooring and you're looking to save money. It's also very quiet and can work while you're at work, or school. It lacks the edge-to-edge bare floor vacuuming that is offered by the more expensive iRobot Roomba X30. It's also less effective in mopping. It is dependent on disposable wet wipes that don't stick well and isn't able to handle dried-on debris. The Q5 comes with a self-emptying cradle, however. If you want to change the mopping pad for dry ones in a matter of just a few seconds. 2. iRobot Roomba The iRobot Roomba X30 packs impressive mopping and vacuuming into a compact, sleek package. Its smart cleaning maps and quick navigation make it easy to clean, and efficient in tackling larger particles like pet hair. It also features a self-emptying bin, powerful suction, and support for virtual boundaries. It's the best robot hoover for carpets but it falls behind some competitors when it comes to deep cleaning. This high-performance vacuum and mops utilizes sensor technology that can stay clear of obstacles and pet waste. It also learns the layout of your home over time to provide cleaner and more efficient cleaning. The app allows you to customize zones and change the cleaning schedule. Its battery life is average compared to other models. You can instruct the X30 Ultra to remove its mops and extend them when in a room with carpet which prevents cross-contamination. The flex arm is great to get under furniture with low levels and along baseboards. However, it doesn't have the same washboard performance as our other Editors' Choice picks, the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Professional+ and the iRobot Combo j9+. During tests, X30 Ultra was the most efficient robot vacuum/mop which could complete the task of cleaning a whole home, with 66 per cent of its battery remaining. It also did an excellent job cleaning a range of floors and rooms that had different flooring types, including certain area rug. Its obstacle detection was great and it stayed clear of fake dog turds and socks, shoes and bundles of cables. It's more expensive than iRobot Combo v9+ or iRobot Roomba j9+ but has superior suction and an onboard bin that automatically empties into the base. It also supports voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It is able to clean floors even after it vacuums. This is something we haven't seen before on other robotic vacuum/mop combos. 3. iRobot Roomba X40 This mop and vacuum combination is sleek and has a circular design that appears more like the regular Roomba unit than the boxy models from the competitors. It's one of our most attractive looking robot vacuums. iRobot's latest flagship model also is its most advanced and has advanced features like enhanced dirt detection technology and future compatibility with Matter (another company's robot that is able to wash mop pads). It's also the only robotic vacuum or mop that scored the perfect 10/10 out of 10 in our evaluations. This is due to the combination of modern sensors, including a restructured light system, camera, and a variety of lasers. The X40 Ultra was the only robot we tested that could refill and empty its basestation in a self-contained manner. It also boasted an industry-leading suction of 12,000Pa and self-cleaning mop mops. As with other iRobot models as well, the X40 is user-friendly, offering an intuitive mobile app interface, and integration with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit as well as Google Assistant. The only real drawback is that it's loud which could be an issue if you use it in the morning prior to work or at night as you try to fall asleep. It's also a bit costly but not as expensive as the Ecovacs MaxV Ultra or Roborock S8 Omni, which are equally powerful and more attractive. It's a dual-purpose vacuum that's very capable however, it will cost you more and make more noise. 4. iRobot Roomba L20 Ultra The L20 Ultra is a top-of-the-range robot vacuum and mop with many advanced features to help you forget about your chores. The L20 Ultra is a hands-free cleaner that is similar to Ecovacs' top-of-the-range X2 Omni or Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra. It has a multifunction dock which automatically empty the vacuum's bin, refills the water tank, as well as washes and drys mop pads. The smart robot utilizes LIDAR and structured lighting to draw out floor plans and spot obstacles. It can navigate more efficiently than its top competitors. It also has a front mounted camera for real-time hazards detection however this was not foolproof in our tests and could be confused with power cords or obstructions. The vacuum cleaner has a maximum suction of 7,000 Pascals which is more than sufficient to complete the task. It also has a feature known as “Intelligent Dirt Detection”, that regulates the power of the vacuum and adjusts cleaning frequency for different areas in the house based on how dirty the areas tend to be. For larger houses it's worth looking for models that has zone or spot cleaning modes that allow you to tell the robot to clean a particular area of your home via the app or voice commands. If you have furniture, a stair-mode is also a good option. Additionally the recharge and resume function that lets your robot vacuum take over exactly where it left off is great for busy families. iRobot RX3 The RX3 is more advanced than the price suggests. It is a good vacuum cleaner and picked up 55% debris in our tests. (It was only second to the Roomba Q5 Pro). It also mops using one pad and a reciprocating motion that is more efficient than most of the robot mop cleaners that we've tried. It's self-sufficient too, with a full-featured app and an auto-emptying washable base. The iRobot app is designed to guide you through an exercise in mapping that collects data on your floorplan and any “no go” areas you've marked on the map. It can be used to design cleaning schedules or set up a spot-clean. It can also be used to it to prioritize the most soiled areas to improve performance. The app also provides access to a host of features like seasonal suggestions, custom maps and advanced settings for your cleaning. It can also reach corners and under furniture better because its shape is more rectangular. It also has strong suction of 8,000 Pascal suction and intelligent combs for hair of pets. You can also organize a spot-cleaner that will thoroughly clean an area. The Miele Scout RX3 Home Vision HD is a sleeker, cheaper alternative to iRobot Roomba. It is more appealing in its style, much like Dolce & Gabbana. The twin cameras are designed to resemble cute eyes. It does a great job vacuuming, but it's more likely to be stuck on low thresholds. It is also louder than other top robot vacuums that we've examined. It also has an app that's not as intuitive, and a smaller base station that doesn't double as a bin to empty.
