Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Robots
Robot vacuums employ instruments for navigation, such as sensors, lasers and cameras to make sense of your surroundings, clean efficiently and avoid obstacles. Some of them even self-empty their dustbins and mop!
Many connect to apps or digital voice assistants for hands-free cleaning. Certain models include features like automatic docks and boundary strips that can help you reduce the amount of work you do.
- Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner doesn't leave you disappointed. It has more advanced features than previous models, but the main benefit is its ability to clean your home intelligently for you. It can recognize floors, no-go zones, stubborn pet bowls, stains and more. It does this by analyzing its surroundings with an image sensor and a map. This helps it to figure out what it should do and when to do it, meaning you don't have to constantly push a button or set multiple modes.
It can mop like it does all Roborock vacuums. This is a great addition to the range as it makes this robovac more useful than before. The mop head can also be turned into scrub mode to remove tougher dirt. Another advantage is that the robovac has the ability to reach small thresholds for steps due to its front-mounted sensor and a rotating FlexiArm.
It's easy to use, with a simple application that lets you set rooms to clean and customize settings. Its voice assistant, Rocky, is very responsive and responds to commands clearly. You can ask it to cancel the task or to recite specific commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Matter-certified for Apple HomeKit integration.
The S8 maxV ultra has 5200mAh of battery capacity and can last up to 180 minutes before returning to the dock. The battery is automatically cleaned and cleaned at the end each run. This reduces the charging time.
- Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuum cleaner is an extremely powerful machine that excels in both vacuuming as well as mopping. This vacuum cleaner has powerful suction, a variety of innovative features and is pet-friendly. It's an excellent choice for busy families. The advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance and customizable options make this robot vacuum cleaner one of the best on the market.
This Robot Vacuum Mops vacuum uses a RGB camera to map out its surroundings and spot obstacles with artificial intelligence. This stops it from sucking your cat's toy, or a cable that is lying on the ground and causing damage to your flooring. This feature allows you to mark areas that the robot shouldn't clean.
Dreame X40 is also excellent in mowing and sweeping due to its unique dual brush system that eliminates dirt from corners. It can even clean baseboards, which makes it a perfect choice for people with kids and pets. This vacuum is easy to use and set up, with an app that offers several options for customization.

- Eufy X10
The Eufy X10 offers a wide variety of features for a reasonable price. It can perform everything you'd want a robot mop and vacuum to accomplish at a reasonable cost.
This model is able to handle cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, such as mopping, sweeping and dusting. Its base station requires slightly more space than other models, requiring 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in front.
Its smart navigation technology can track the arrangement of your home, while storing and utilizing the data in its internal memory without ever transferring it to the cloud or any other external source. The X10 can remember room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes so that they can be efficient and thorough.
The X10 smart object recognition system is also very efficient, allowing it to detect and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery automatically, which is an excellent feature. The X10 gets stuck on thicker rugs. It crashes over them with a loud roar and then pushes its front brush into the rug.
This is a great robo-vacuum and mop however, it's hampered by the jargon-filled application. In contrast to the iRobot app which guides you through the process of setting up your robot and instructing you how to use it but the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure things out on your own. It's still a great choice but it also offers plenty of customizability for those who want to get the most of its features.
- SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution for home cleaning. It combines a vacuum cleaner with a mop. It features an exclusive two-station design that permits it to supply mopping water as well as collect dust within the same machine, resulting in full automation of the cleaning process.
It's fitted with all the standard sensors available on high-end robot vacuums to build an outline of your home in real-time, being able to avoid obstacles and recognize different types of carpets as well as hard flooring. A front-facing AI-capable camera is also included which makes it easier to navigate your home and locate nooks that are otherwise inaccessible for the majority of robotic vacuums.
This robotic powerhouse is equipped with a powerful suction motor capable of getting rid of pet hair dirt, dust and other particles both from hard floors and low pile carpeting. The app lets you modify the robot to meet your preferences. You can create custom cleaning routines and adjust mopping and vacuuming power.
It mops exceptionally well, with a RevoRoll roller mop that puts 10N of pressure on any floor. It also has a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself while it moves around your home. This keeps the mop in good condition while it gathers dirt and keeps it from spreading around your home.
The battery in the S10 isn't as long-lasting as some of its rivals and might need to be recharged halfway throughout the year, especially when you live in a big house. Furthermore, it can be noisy during operation and might not be suitable for use in areas where quiet is desired. It's a great price for the quality. The SwitchBot S10 is modern, sleek design that makes it stand out model in its class.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's bestselling Mini robot vacuum. The latest version comes with an innovative Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and a higher suction power to 3000Pa for better corner coverage.
Using SLAM navigation and a user-friendly app, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor and the rotary brush work together to navigate furniture. The four-stage cleaning process is a consolidated method that collects the debris, then lifts it up and sweeps it from carpets and floors. The dust bin is self-emptying and you don't need to worry about it being emptying frequently.
You can also mark the areas in the room you don't want the device to access for power cords or pet toys. This is a common feature in most robotic vacuums and it's useful when you have specific areas in the house that require more attention than others.
You can set up the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes to empty its trash bin. This is a significant improvement over other robots which have to be returned and manually empty. It will save you a lot of time.
In my tests, I found that the K10 Plus' battery life was exceptional. It lasted for 110 minutes in one run. This is more than iRobot Roomba Combo's 127 mins.
The K10 Plus has a fairly compact design, which makes it easy to put under furniture or tight spaces. It is connected to Wi-Fi and supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri shortcuts. It integrates with IFTTT Samsung SmartThings, Samsung SmartThings as well as IFTTT. The app tracks how often you use its accessories, like the side brushes, filters and dust bag.
