You can also find models that can mop and charge themselves which can be important for people with pets or kids. The top performers in our tests have decent obstacle avoidance.
1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO
The i3+ EVO is identical to its sibling i3 EVO. They differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying capabilities. The i3+ is a great alternative for those who want a an automated, hands-free cleaning experience, but are willing to manually empty the dust bin when it is full.
Both robots do well picking up surface debris on carpets and hard floors, and they are very good at maneuvering around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software makes a smart maps of your home that help the i3+ navigate and clean efficiently. However unlike the i7+ and other top-rated robots we evaluated, the i3+ doesn't have a feature for avoiding obstacles and therefore it could get stuck on things such as power cords or socks, and it may have trouble in navigating through transitions between surfaces, such as from hardwood to rug.
iRobot recommends you clear out areas in which the i3+ EVO will vacuum prior to when you use it, and include putting away any toys or clutter it might encounter. It is also recommended to keep the filters and dust bin clear to avoid becoming clogged. When the i3+ EVO’s internal bin is empty or the battery is depleted, it returns to the docking station and emptys the dirt into the docking station's external dustbin. It then continues cleaning from where it began. The i3+ EVO's battery lasts for about an hour and a half of continuous use, and it takes around three hours to fully recharge.
2. Roomba from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba i7+ is the most powerful model in the iRobot flagship line and comes with all the latest features. It is self-charging and self-navigating. However, the most significant feature is its self vacuum near me-emptying bin. This eliminates the need for routine maintenance.
The Roomba i7+ is able to remember up to 10 floor plans and their names thanks to Imprint Smart Mapping, an application that lets it identify rooms to clean them more efficiently. It also integrates with iRobot Home to schedule cleaning tasks, and it can direct your robot using the app or by voice.
The i7+ is faster and more agile in our tests than the eufy RoboVac G30. It also cleaned large pet hair pieces from any surface including carpeting. Its biggest advantage over the eufy, is its self-emptying dustbin that eliminates a major source of maintenance and lowers the cost of maintenance.
We were also impressed by the i7+’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We used these services to instruct the robot to start or stop cleaning sessions, as well as to move around the room and even vacuum a specific area. The process of connecting the i7+ to these services was easy and easy with the iRobot Home app. After connecting we were able to give the i7+ voice commands, such as "Hey Alexa, vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home app also provides options for managing the i7+'s settings and monitoring its performance.
3. Dyson Cyclone V10
In a world full of vacuums with cords that look like minivans or buses, this tiny Dyson model feels like an old-fashioned sports car. It's got the power and features to replace a stand-up vacuum for most households and can fit in well next to the coffee table or a bookshelf that you can spin around like a magic tool.
The V10 is powered by a Lithium-ion battery with 7 cells of energy that produces energy that lasts for 60 minutes. Its advanced whole-machine filtration system traps allergens and releases clean air back into your home.

It quickly converts from floor vac to handheld vacuum, and then back to floor.
This model has an attached dock that charges the Dyson to 100 percent within 3.5 hours. It also offers the ability to connect two attachments and the wand. This is a big improvement over older Dysons, which take a long time to charge and are difficult to store.
The V10's main drawback is its short running time. Its claims on the market that it has up to 60 minutes of running time are a bit misleading, as CR's testing shows. This is an average not an extraordinary time for the battery-powered cordless vacuum. It's still enough time to get rid of the majority of an average-sized house however, it's not enough to get every single area (though an additional run-through often will suffice). However, this model doesn't have its advantages: It's lighter and agile than older cordless Dysons, and its vacuuming performance is noticeably better on carpets with low pile.
4. iRobot Roomba 694"
The 694 is a standard robot vacuum cleaner for sale vacuum that's an excellent choice for those who don't have lots of money to spend on the latest model of robot.

Its intelligent navigation system makes use of iAdapt to avoid obstacles and navigate around your home, but it isn't equipped with the ability to map that comes with more advanced models like our top selections, the i3+ EVO and the j7+ series. It can get stuck on phone cords or low furniture and is often unable to supply power before returning to its base.
The Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum is superior to the Roomba 694 in many ways, as it has fewer components that require regular cleaning and is equipped with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, incurs lower recurring costs, has more advanced automation capabilities and does a better job maneuvering itself. It also has a larger dustbin and can charge faster.
The eufy RoboVac X8 has a superior battery longevity than the Roomba 694. It also comes with physical boundaries strips and can be controlled with your smartphone's voice assistant.

The app offers a variety of options to personalize your robotic cleaner, including virtual barriers, mopping water levels and behavior customization docking frequency settings and much more. The app is simple to use and understand as are other Samsung devices.
In our tests during our tests, the Jet Bot AI+ performed well on hard floors, and it removed 86% of dog hair (on carpet). It didn't do very well in avoiding taller objects like socks or cords. This was disappointing. It's also more expensive than the other models we've tested, and this could be a problem for certain shoppers.

They feature an extra-wide cleaning path and a larger dust bin that can hold 2X more debris than other models to keep the cleaning area clear for maximum runtime. Additionally, they come with two side sweepers that clean along edges and in corners. The POWERSERIES Extreme model also comes with AutoSense technology, which senses whether it's picking up dirt on surfaces or embedded dirt and automatically adjusts the power level. It also includes a smart application that lets you see the virtual map and manage the functions and schedules.

The app allows you to customize the LED lights on top of the vacuum by using different colors so you can clearly see which areas it's focused on or where it's stuck.
The app also makes it easy to steer the robot manually should you need to. For example my living room rug has a darkly colored border that tends to cause confusion for other robots I've tried. The HRV 425BL however continued to travel across the border without registering the cliff. The ability to program a cleaning schedule for each week is a time-saving advantage.
