While upright and canister vacuums are better at deep-cleaning hardwood and carpets, a robot vacuum—often controlled by a smartphone app—can be useful for regular touch-ups.

Once the robot is docked, a vacuum in the docking station automatically sucks the contents from the bin into an enclosed, disposable bag in the base. Like the iRobot Roomba Combo i5 above, this vac has mopping capabilities, though you’ll need to exchange its bin for the mopping bin and mopping pad.

That's due to a lack of features at higher prices or more niche use cases that aren't as versatile as the top models in our list. Still, the models below are worth checking out if money isn't an issue.

With its anti-collision sensors, this model stays clear of most obstacles. In fact, we found that it didn’t get tangled up any more often than the Roborock Q5 Max+.

To potentially make that investment a little bit cheaper, be sure to check out our Samsung promo codes to see if you can save yourself some money.

The Q5 Max+ lets you save several maps and create pelo-go zones. It also sends alerts if any of the robot’s parts need to be cleaned or exchanged. Roborock

While the best robot vacuums can get nearly every inch of your floors, there's one place they can't reach: Your couch cushions. That's why the Ecovacs Deebot T30s Combo is a great option for those who want to clean their upholstery, but don't want to buy a second vacuum just for the task.

The mopping function is basic enough. You need to manually swap in the attachment any time you want to mop, and it will happily try to mop your carpets and rugs given half the chance.

Robot vacuums are smart, efficient, and built to take the hassle out of everyday cleaning. They pick up pet hair, smash through crumbs, and keep floors sorted while you get on with everything else.

Obstacle avoidance that learns as it goes: Advanced sensors help these robovacs dodge shoes, cords, pet bowls and random clutter—no rescues required.

The Eureka E10S is almost ridiculously bad. Our review unit talked incessantly and cleaned shamefully, and we encountered a different type of problem with each run. At first it spoke only Russian, even though we had the country set to the United States (weirdly, the language function is hidden somewhere within the mapping feature).

The RX3 is supposedly compatible with Alexa, but it leaves much to be desired, and Amazon users in Germany, where the “Saugroboter” has been available for over two years, are livid. (We learned, by calling customer service, that Miele doesn’t even provide a Automatic Vacuum Cleaners list with suitable voice commands.) In our tests, it responded to only two commands—start and stop—despite numerous attempts to get it to vacuum specific rooms. (It did somewhat better with Google Home.) One would expect a $900 vacuum cleaner to be closer to perfection.
