How The 10 Worst Good Robot Vacuum Fails Of All Time Could Have Been Prevented
What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A quality robot vacuum will help you stay on top of pet hair, lint, and dust on a daily basis. Many work with apps to allow you to schedule cleaning sessions and define virtual boundaries or "walls" to keep them from areas you don't want cleaned.

This smart vac-mop makes an outline of your home using its first run. It then remembers the space to help you with future cleaning tasks. It comes with a huge dust bin that automatically emptys and a self-cleaning, brush roll.

Object Detection

When selecting a robot vacuum cleaner, select one that can clean up large items like toys and lamp cords as well as fine dust. This will ensure that they don't get snarled by the roller brush and aren't left behind on your floors. This feature is particularly important if you have children or pets and may need to clean the robot regularly.

It's recommended to select a model that has strong motors and plenty of suction power. This will help it be more effective at getting up pet hair, lint and dust off your carpets and hardwood floors.

Another factor to consider is the size of your space. If you have a huge home, you may prefer a model with multiple cleaning zones that can cover your entire house in one session. Some models also have mopping functions, which can be used to keep your floors fresh and clean.

Robot vacuums are long-lasting but they need to be maintained in a timely and efficient manner. Cleaning the rotating brushes and emptying the dust container and wiping the sensors clean regularly will keep your machine running smoothly for years to be. Many owners of robot vacuums that we have spoken with have had the same machine for a decade or more (and replaced brushes, motors and batteries along the way).

A basic robot will cost less than a full-size vacuum cleaner, but they'll do a fantastic job at keeping up with dirt on the surface, pet hair, and dust. They're an excellent maintenance cleaner that you can distribute every week to keep your floors clean. The downside is they don't come with as advanced technology, and could be prone to getting stuck or requiring human intervention.

Object Avoidance

The most effective robot vacuums make use of sensors, lasers, or cameras to guide them around your home without falling off or getting stuck on the staircase. They are also able to avoid obstacles such as furniture legs and cords, and some models automatically return to their base or dock when they run low on energy. Some of the more expensive models have mapping capabilities, which allow them to learn your home's layout and spend less time bouncing against walls.

If you don't want spend the money on the most sophisticated robotic vacuums, you could locate a model that does a great job of picking up pet hair dirt, dust, and debris from floors that are hard like tile and wood as well as carpets with a low pile. They also be capable of handling larger debris like metal screws or staples that have rust, or abandoned toys. Some have a base that automatically empties itself, which is ideal for those who don't want to empty it every cleaning session.

Some robotic vacuums have smart features, which make the traditional stick vacuum look quaint. These include zones-targeting, schedules, and the capability to control them using an app or a voice assistant, such as Alexa. You can also design cleaning zones and virtual walls to block off areas you don't want robots to access.

Some robotic vacuums, such as the Eufy 11S or my former favorite, Roborock S8, come with obstacle avoidance technology that will prevent them from tripping over cords or furniture. Certain robot vacuums, such as the iRobot Roomba j7+ have more advanced AI obstacle-avoidance technology which uses cameras, processors and algorithms to stay clear of items such as lamp cords and pet waste. It's a bit more expensive than the other bots I've tried, but it does a fantastic job of avoiding obstacles and never is stuck or tripped when I'm working on my floor.

The J7+ from iRobot was an excellent obstacle avoidance robot however it didn't always succeed in avoiding crumbs or dirt on my rugs. It also tends to over-vacuum areas, which resulted in lots of dust in the filter, and a less-clean house.

Smart Mapping

Some of the best robots vacuums have an app that lets you alter cleaning modes, create schedules, and look at an image of the floor area that is covered by the machine. This is a handy feature that some competitors lack altogether. This allows you to create profiles that will automatically start your robot at certain time intervals and run it on an ongoing basis, such as cleaning the living area prior to dinner or every other day.

A good app will also allow you to control your robot using voice commands. Some models are compatible with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, which allows you to control your robot using voice commands.

Find a model that has a large dust bin. This will allow you to perform many cleaning sessions without having to empty it. You can also find models that self-empty that take some of the work out of emptying the robot after each vacuuming run.


If you're looking for a robot capable of doing more than just vacuum, you'll want to look at the possibility of a model that can mop floors. These are usually larger than robotic vacuums and come with a water tank which can hold several cleaning sessions' worth of dust and dirt before having to be emptied.

The most advanced robots can create their own maps of your home. They can even keep track of the arrangement between cleanings and help them avoid getting lost or trapped in corners. This can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your robot vacuum since it won't have to return to where it was when it encounters walls or furniture.

Our testers who used robots with this feature found it to be very efficient, and they could easily watch TV or do other chores while the robot cleaned. Some of these models use laser navigation and can create an exact map of your entire home, which means that you can program them to clean only the bedroom after dinner, or every room in the house while you're working.

App Control

It's best to choose one that comes with an app for mobile devices if you want to customize the frequency of cleaning and choose the cleaning mode. In the app, you can examine the status of your vacuum and its dust bin. Some of the most effective robot vacuums can be controlled via voice with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri Shortcuts.

robots that vacuum and mop is easy to maintain a robot that has the ability to wash the filter and a self-emptying container, particularly when the filter can be easily cleaned and washed. A high-powered brush is another fantastic feature that allows you to reach into corners and along baseboards to get rid of hair and dirt. Some robots are more adept in avoiding the chair's legs than others, and some also have self-cleaning sensors that can prevent the blockage of brushes that could be a problem in other robots.

Some robot vacuums have navigation tools to help them understand your home and overcome obstacles. The top models come with sensors and cameras that recognize obstacles like stairs, furniture and cords. On the other hand, less expensive models may use boundary strips that you put on the floor to mark areas you don't want to go. Object avoidance is especially important for families with children who leave toys and socks scattered throughout the house, because it allows your robot to grab the items instead of scattering them.

We're starting to see more robots with mops, which are beneficial for those who have hard floors and require to regularly clean them. These robots have a water reservoir built into their chassis or as a separate piece that you can swap in when ready to mop. These robots may need to be refilled frequently but they're ideal for homes that have hard floors and can't be easily cleaned by vacuums.

These robots are loaded with impressive technology, and they cost much less than you would expect. In fact, you can find an affordable model for less than $200 that does a decent job of getting rid of pet hair and crumbs from hard floors while also navigating the edges of lightweight carpets or area rug. The robot can be programmed to vacuum the room on a regular basis. It can be controlled remotely through an app or by pressing buttons.
