10 Meetups Around Robot Hoover You Should Attend

The Best Robot Hoover

The best robot vacuum can sweep and vacuum your floors with no effort. It also leaves the floors spotless. Its price is affordable and its high-end features (such as dirt detector) are positives.

Make sure you regularly examine the brushes of your robot for tangled hair and large particles and wash them if required. Some models will automatically empty their dust bin on board into a larger bin in the base, which reduces the amount of fine dust that is released into the air.


1. Roomba Q5 pro

The Q5 Pro, and its more expensive cousin the Q7 Max Series are among the most powerful robotic vacuums we've test. They are equipped with top-of-the-line motors which can pull up to 5,500 Pascals of suction force. And, like other premium iRobot models (including the top pick) they employ smart mapping technology to create detailed floor plans and avoid household obstacles such as cords and furniture legs. They also feature a feature called carpet boost that boosts the robot's performance when it spots a lot of dirt on the carpet in order to get it cleaned up quickly.

The Q5 and Q7 Max Series both scored very well in our tests on floors that were bare and are especially adept in removing dog hair. However, they have several flaws that prevent them from being our top pick. One of the flaws of the Q5 is that its navigation system doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance. It's thus susceptible to become stuck on socks and shoes and couldn't navigate rooms with lots of people well during our tests. It doesn't also have a camera that can see around corners.

It's still a great deal for those whose office or home has a lot of bare flooring and you're looking to save some money. It's also very quiet and can be used while you're at work, or going to school. The only thing it lacks that you can't find in the more expensive iRobot Roomba X30 is edge-to-edge vacuuming of floors with no floor. It's also less effective at mopping. It relies on disposable wet wipes that don't adhere well and isn't able to handle dried-on debris. The Q5 comes with a self-emptying cradle, however. If you want to change the mopping pad for a dry one in seconds.

2. iRobot Roomba X30

The iRobot Roomba X30 is a compact, sleek vacuum cleaner that can also mop floors. Its agile navigation and intelligent cleaning maps make it quick to clean and effective at taking on larger particles, such as pet hair. It also has a powerful suction and self-emptying bin. It's the best robot hoover for carpets, however it's not as good as other hoovers in terms of deep cleaning.

This top-performing mop and vacuum combo makes use of advanced sensors to avoid obstacles and pet waste, and it also learns your home's layout over time for more efficient cleaning. You can change the schedule of cleaning and even customize zones with the well-designed app. Its battery life is average when compared to other models.

When the X30 Ultra is in a carpeted area, you can tell it to remove and extend its mop. This can help avoid cross contamination. Its flex arm can also be utilized to reach under furniture with low levels and along baseboards. It doesn't perform as well on the washboard as our other Editors' Choice Picks, the Ecovacs Ozmo N8Pro+ and the iRobot Combo j9+.

In tests, the X30 Ultra was the fastest robot vacuum/mop to complete an entire home, and it did so with 66 percent of its battery left. It also did a great job cleaning a variety of floors and rooms with mixed flooring types, including certain area rug. Its obstacle detection was top notch, and it nimbly avoided fake dog socks, turds, and bundles of cables.

It's more expensive than the iRobot Combo v9+ and iRobot Roomba j9+, however it offers superior suction, a built-in dust bin that automatically emptys into its base, and supports voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It can even clean the floor after vacuuming, a feature that we haven't seen in other robot vacuum/mop combinations.

3. iRobot Roomba X40

This robot vacuum and mop combination has a sleek, circular look that looks much like a Roomba model than the boxy units of the rivals. robotvacuummops of our most attractive looking robot vacuums. iRobot’s latest flagship model is also the most intelligent. It features advanced features such as Enhanced Dirt Detection as well as future compatibility (another company’s robot that can wash mop pads in a self-cleaning manner).

It's also the only robot vacuum or mop that scored the perfect 10/10 out of 10 in our tests. This is thanks to a mix of modern sensors, including a restructured light system, camera and multiple lasers. The X40 Ultra was the only robot we tested that could refill and empty its basestation on its own. It also boasted an industry-leading suction of 12,000Pa as well as self-cleaning mops.

As with other iRobot models like the X40 is easy to use, offering an intuitive mobile app interface as well as integration with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant. The only issue is that it's still quite an eerily noisy device, which can be problematic if you run it in the morning before work, or at night when you try to fall asleep.

It's also somewhat expensive, though it's not as expensive as Ecovacs X2 Omni or Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra Both of which are equally capable and look better. If you're willing to put up some more volume and some extra cost this is a powerful two-in-one that will satisfy most people.

iRobot L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a top-of-the-range robot vacuum and mop with a lot of advanced features that will let you forget about your chores. The L20 Ultra is a hands-free cleaning device like Ecovacs top-of-the-line X2 Omni or Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra. It has a multifunction dock which automatically empty the vacuum's bin, refills the water tank, and washes and drys the mop pads.

The smart robot makes use of LIDAR and structured lighting to map out floor plans and spot obstacles. It can navigate more efficiently than its top competitors. It also has a front-mounted camera to detect hazards in real-time, although this wasn't quite reliable in our tests and was often confused by power cords or other obstructions.

Its vacuum cleaner has an maximum suction of 7,000 Pascals which is more than enough to accomplish the task. It also features "Intelligent Dirt Detection", that regulates the amount of time the vacuum works and adjusts the frequency of cleaning for different areas of your home depending on the degree of dirt they are.

For larger houses it's recommended to choose models with spot or zone cleaning modes that allow you to tell the robot to clean a particular area of your home using the app or voice controls. A stair mode can be useful if you have a lot furniture. For families that are busy recharge functions and resume feature that allows your robot vacuum to continue from where it left off can be very useful.

iRobot RX3

The RX3 is more intelligent than the price suggests. It is a good vacuum cleaner and was able to remove 55% of debris in our tests. (It was only second to the Roomba Q5 Pro). It also mops using one pad that has an oscillating motion that is cleaner than the other robot mop cleaners we've tested. It's also highly self-sufficient, with a full-featured app and a self emptying base that can be washed.

The well-designed iRobot app guides you through an initial mapping exercise that collects information about your floorplan and any "no-go" areas you set on the map. You can use it to make cleaning schedules, plan the perfect spot for cleaning or prioritize your most filthy rooms for better performance. The app also grants access to a host of features like seasonal suggestions, custom maps and advanced settings for your cleaning.

It also has the ability to reach corners and under furniture more easily because its shape is more rectangular. It has a powerful 8,000 Pascal suction and intelligent combs to remove pet hair. You can also set up a spot clean that intensely cleans a localized area.

The Miele Scout RX3 Home Vision HD offers a sleeker more affordable alternative to iRobot Roomba. It's more appealing, Dolce & Gabbana-esque design and its twin cameras resemble cute eyes. It does a good job vacuuming, but it is more susceptible to getting caught on low thresholds and is a bit more noisy than the other top robotic vacuums we've tried. It also has a less intuitive app and a tiny base station that isn't able to double as a bin for emptying.
