But don’t set your expectations too high. These machines excel in routine midweek cleanups but can’t replace traditional plug-in vacuums, especially on rugs. And even the fanciest models can drive you mad, getting tangled or trapped, or missing piles of dirt.

We’ve listed our top picks alphabetically below. And check out our picks of the best vacuums and our full ratings of vacuums, which also have reviews of canister, upright, stick, and handheld models from over 15 brands. Also see our vacuum buying guide for smart shopping tips.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv is Roborock's latest robot vacuum mop combo with innovative features and impressive performance. It excels in debris pickup and carpet cleaning with its tangle-resistant DuoDivide brush, as well as mopping with advanced spinning pads.

For this review, we purchased the Qrevo Slim as soon as it became available and conducted extensive tests and evaluations to compare its performance against the many other robot vacuums we've reviewed.

We were particularly impressed by the effectiveness of its row-cleaning pattern — it thoroughly picked up fur and debris even if it blew or knocked them to the sides on an initial passthrough.

The i4+ EVO’s self-emptying dock also failed to remove all the debris it had Automatic Vacuum Cleaners collected in its bin, leaving behind Cheerios and rice.

The LiDAR turret quickly scanned our home's main floor plan in a single passthrough. You can use Shark's app to name rooms, set no-go zones, and send the robot out to spot-clean a 5x5 area just by dropping a pin on the map.

It’s also one of the quietest robots we’ve tried, which comes in handy if you have skittish pets or are easily distracted. It comes with a charging station that can suck debris from the robot right into a large, disposable bag.

Robot vacuum cleaners aren’t just for inside the house. JB also stocks robotic pool cleaners that scrub, sweep, and filter your pool for you. Pelo more manual vacuuming, pelo more standing around with a net.

Finally. A robot vacuum you can rely on to get the job done. The Roomba j7 + robot vacuum packs 10x the power-lifting suction and comes with unique intelligence to avoid cords and pet waste.

It can patrol your home while you’re away and livestream what it can see straight to your phone. It can also recognize objects, although its accuracy left something to be desigred. It identified the iRobot Braava jet m6 robot mop as a cup/plate, and thought a stray dog toy was a sock/towel.

The T30s did very well on our cleaning tests, earning an average score of 93%; while that isn't tops among the best robot vacuums, that's still very good.
