What You Must Forget About Enhancing Your Robot Vacuum
How to Find the Best Robot Vacuum

If you don't require advanced features like mapping, and aren't worried about emptying your bin every 60 to 90 days, a basic robotic vacuum is probably for you. Choose an option that has a clean base and works with voice assistants.

It excels at removing dirt, cat litter and pet hair on tile floors, hardwood floors and carpeting that is lower-pile better than any other vacuum we've tried. It also maps and create virtual no-go zones for rooms and areas.

1. Powerful Suction

A robot vacuum can keep on top of the dust, pet hair and dander that collects on your floors on a day-to-day basis. It can also reduce the frequency of deep cleaning, which will save you time and effort. The most effective model comes with powerful suction that is able to clean up most mess and leave your home clean.

Choosing a robot vacuum that also mop will help you achieve more coverage using one machine, which could be especially helpful in larger homes. You can find a model with a water tank either integrated into the chassis or as an additional piece that you can take out after vacuuming. You'll need to empty and refill it, however it's an additional task that will require a little extra work on your part.

In a perfect world you would clean your floors before using your robot vacuum to stop it from crashing into anything. However, in the majority of homes, this isn't feasible or desirable. Most robots allow you to use an app for your smartphone to build virtual barriers the robot can detect. Some models have no-go zones which you can use to flag areas that you don't want it to access, such as children rooms or a stack of cords for your device in the corner.

If you're looking to buy a basic robot vacuum that doesn't have all the bells and bells, this model from the networking company TP-Link is a great choice. It's quiet, works well on hard floors and low-pile rugs and can be scheduled via the app to vacuum or mop at any time. It comes with a battery life of up to 180 minutes.

2. Simple to operate

In general, robot vacuums require very little input from you. They utilize navigation tools like sensors lasers, cameras and sensors to move around obstacles and suck up dust, food crumbs and pet hair from flooring, tile carpets, hardwood floors and low-pile carpets. A lot of models come with boundary strips that allow them to stay inside a room. More expensive models can be programmed to get up at a particular time and start cleaning. Some models include fall detection technology to help users avoid falling down the stairs or getting caught in cords.

Find models that can be controlled from your couch using voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also select Wi-Fi models that allow you to begin a cleaning session anywhere using an app. You may prefer a model that has an extremely long-lasting battery as well as an enormous dust bin, based on the size of your house.

Some robot vacuums are also mopping. They make use of water reservoirs to clean the floor. This is great for mopping, but not for tough messes like pet poop and other wet spills. You can choose hybrids with an adjustable microfiber mopping pad, or a self-emptying version that allows you to go up to 60 days before emptying the base.

3. Smart Mapping

Certain robots utilize advanced mapping technology to create a precise map as they clean. This helps them avoid hitting furniture and getting caught on cords or legs of chairs. This feature is typically only available on more expensive models, but it's one of the best ways to ensure your robot has a complete understanding of the layout of your home and knows where to go next when it's low on battery.

If you don't want your robot navigating into areas of your house that you'd rather it stay away from (like your kids' toys or the tangled mess of gadget cords in the corner), most robots offer the possibility of creating virtual barriers, either through their apps or a set of physical boundary strips. You can block off areas that you don't wish your robot to enter, so that it can concentrate on the areas that require the most attention.

A lot of robots can also automatically change floors based on the kind of flooring they are cleaning. This can be accomplished by changing from carpet to hard flooring, or by focussing on particular areas of your home like corners and baseboards. This feature proved helpful in our tests and enhanced the vacuum's performance on both hardwood flooring and low-pile floor carpeting. It is essential to put away any furniture or cords that are loose before using your robot vacuum, to ensure that it doesn't get caught.


4. Remote Control

The majority of robot vacuums have WiFi capabilities and can be controlled via voice commands, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Siri Shortcuts. Many robot vacuums connect to smart home systems, and can create an outline of the area they clean after each session. This lets them "learn" how your home is laid out and to plan more efficient routes during future cleaning sessions. Some have obstacle avoidance built in to prevent them from causing damage to furniture and getting stuck on things like loose charging cables or pet hair.

Most robots come with a remote you can use to control them around your home. Most robots can be controlled via a mobile application which has more options. It is possible to set up multiple cleaning schedules, create the list of rooms you like and even manually guide your robot around specific areas by using directions on the screen.

Certain models have zones that are not allowed. These are virtual barriers that can be created within the app to block the robot from entering specific areas (like kid's toys or dishes and dog beds). Other apps allow you to set up an outline of your home and give the robot detailed information about your floors. The app on our top pick Roborock S7+, the Roborock S7+, has a lot of useful options to help you clean your house, but its interface isn't as polished as those from iRobot and Shark.

5. Long Battery Life

Robot vacuums that can clean your entire home without stopping to recharge or to empty their bins save time and effort. Some work with smart home platforms such as Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri Shortcuts to allow hands-free operation. They can also build an outline of your living space, allowing you to program them to clean specific areas or rooms and stay clear of obstacles.

The majority of robot vacuums can detect objects, however the iRobot j7 offers advanced features such as "home mapping" and obstacle avoidance. These can make your life much easier (although one of our test bots did "eat" a few socks). If you want to take your home maintenance even further consider a robot mop that comes with a water tank that can be filled and then empty.

While none of the models we tested could compete with the dirt-picking power of a standup vacuum, they did a great job cleaning hard floors and low pile carpets. They excel at sweeping up fine dirt, food crumbs and dirt that has been tracked in. They are also able to tackle scattered cat litter, as well as metal screws and nuts. The best robot vacs can easily work their way around furniture, and they are great at cleaning edges and corners as well. For a basic model that functions on its own and is comparatively inexpensive look into the Eufy 11S.

6. Convenient Self-Charging

A robot vacuum will help keep your home tidy and clean without doing many tasks. You can schedule cleanings in the app and create zones that are not allowed to enter so that your robot doesn't damage your plants or your favorite chair. The majority of our top picks automatically empty their trash bins and clean their docking stations for you.

The top robot vacuums can be programmed to clean your floors on a regular basis for months or even weeks at a time, removing you from the arduous task of manually cleaning your floors on a daily or weekly basis. This allows you to enjoy more time doing things you like and reduces the amount of time required to clean your floors manually.

During tests during testing, Q Revo was able grab fine particles such as baking soda and oatmeal. It also picked up larger particles like nails and screws made of steel, as well as fluffy things like pet hair. It lacks the advanced mapping and object-avoiding features of our top picks but is still a good choice for families with children.

The most impressive feature of the j7 is its ability to detect and avoid obstacles like power cords as well as socks and shoes, and pet waste. This means you don't have to clean up before you can run your robot, although clutter in your home can mean the robot may become stuck and not perform as good a job.
