Top 4 Robot Vacuums to Buy

iRobot Roomba s9+
A robot vacuum that is both amazing and expensive

The Roomba s9+ robot vacuum from iRobot is one of the most intelligent and thorough we have ever tested. It is also the most expensive. Roomba’s s9+ is the most advanced model. It can store and recall a blueprint for multiple floors in your house within a matter of minutes. You can also specify rooms and instruct the Roomba s9+ when to clean them. This robot vacuum is noisy so we recommend scheduling it to clean when you are away from the house. It’s capable of vacuuming hard floors and carpet with an average pick-up score of nearly 97. We found that it picks up pet hair and cat litter better than Cheerios. This is often the opposite. It’s better for small debris.

The Roomba S9+ comes with a dustbin integrated into the charging base. While you will need to buy bags for the base you only need to empty it after 30 cleanings. If you’re looking to save even more money, the s9+ will be able to talk to the Braava jet M6 robot mop ($499) and tell it to mop your floors once the s9+ has finished vacuuming. It’s quite neat.

Eufy Robovac G30 Edge
Basic mapping and quiet cleaning at a great price

The modestly-priced Eufy Robovac G30 Edge robotic vacuum is a great cleaner. It’s also very quiet. As it moved through our rooms, we barely heard it. Although it was not as efficient as the best performers, it still managed 88.9 per cent of all debris. It performs better on hard floors (94.35%), than carpets (83.52%). This is something to keep in mind, depending on the flooring.

The G30 Edge’s use was made easier by an updated app than previous Eufy robot vacuums. The G30 Edge can create a map of your house, but you cannot set up virtual no-go areas or direct it to clean certain rooms.

Neato Botvac D7
Ideal for cleaning in a hurry

Because it is the fastest and smartest robot vacuum we have tested, the Neato Botvac D7 connected made our top robot list. The robot vacuum completed our tests in 10 minutes, 22 seconds. It blitzed through pet hair, Cheerios and kitty litter, picking up a lot of them too. It was not as efficient at collecting debris as the Shark Ion R85 or the iLife V3s Pro.

The D7 can also be controlled by Alexa or Google Assistant and has multi-room/multi-floor mapping. It was also easy to empty the dustbin. The Neato Botvac D7 Connected is about $550. It’s not the cheapest or most expensive robot vacuum. However, as a midrange model it offers all the features and performance you could need.

Samsung JetBot AI+
The best robot vacuum features

The Samsung JetBot AI+ has a lot of features. The intelligent, gentle cleaner can almost double as a security camera and robot vacuum cleaner. You can have it livestream the contents of your home to your smartphone. It can recognize objects and provide alternative cleaning patterns so that you can pick the route it takes.

It is easy to map your home, and it’s simple to set up no-go areas or choose specific rooms to clean. The vacuum is self-emptying, making it easy to maintain, but also making it as loud as other vacuums when it emptys. It is very careful when cleaning furniture. However, the vacuum picks up pet hairs better than others. The investment is not cheap, but the product looks great and has a wide range of features.
