The S9 Plus can navigate and map multiple rooms and floors, while avoiding "keep-out zones" that you can designate. The app also lets you use Alexa or Google Assistant commands to tell it to begin cleaning a room. You can link the S9 Plus to your home Wi-Fi as well. The robot zipped through our test room in a short average time of 25 minutes, too.
The dock both charges the robot's battery and empties its dustbin automatically, making cleaning even easier and keeping you from worrying about battery life. Now that's convenient. Read our first impressions of the Roomba S9 Plus. With a competitive price, plus rock-solid performance and intelligent navigation, the Roborock S7 is our new favorite midrange robot vacuum.
It demonstrated about the same power to remove sand from hardwood floors However, unlike the Neato D7, our previous midrange robot vacuum pick, the Roborock S7 was much more effective at pulling sand away from both medium-pile The Roborock couldn't match the Roomba S9 Plus' impressive ability to clean up pet hair, but it fared better than most. The S7 wiped hardwood floors completely free of hair and left only a few stray tufts on carpeting.
Aided by multiple sensors and lasers, efficient navigation is the S7's strong suit. It covered the entire floor of our test room in an average of just 16 minutes. That's a full 9 minutes shorter than the Roomba S9 Plus required 25 minutes. Another feature that sets this robot apart is its advanced mopping capability.
Just fill the machine's reservoir with water, then attach the included mopping pad. The S7 will now mop the floor on command. It can even mop and vacuum carpets within the same cleaning run by raising and lowering its mopping pad. To do this it first performs a mapping run to locate where your carpets are.
The robot then uses sensors to confirm the presence of carpeting where it expects to find it. You might not expect sufficient cleaning power from a budget robot vacuum, but that's precisely what the Anker Eufy RoboVac 25C delivers. Its ability to scour sand from hardwood floors The Eufy RoboVac 25C's sand performance across low-pile This robot also wasn't too bad at dealing with pet hair.
It pulled all save one tuft from our hardwood test floor. Multiple small tufts of hair remained after vacuuming low-pile carpeting. Medium-pile carpets proved to be the most challenging for the Eufy.
Many more and larger clumps of hair stayed behind after the vacuum travelled over this surface. One area where Anker cut down on costs is the RoboVac's navigation system. The machine bumps around the floor like a slow-motion ping-pong ball, changing direction when it encounters an object or obstacle. As a result it took a long 91 minutes to finish its cleaning cycle in our test room. Solid pet waste and robot vacuums don't mix. If they do, the results have typically been catastrophic. This robot's software is designed to enable it to recognize solid pet waste on the floor and steer clear of it.
Anecdotal lab tests confirmed the J7's waste avoidance capabilities. The robot smoothly cleaned open areas within the confines of a test pen and never touched any of our solid pet waste facsimiles.
We used three pieces of prank dog poop, all of different shapes, to represent the offensive substance. If all you want is a budget vacuum that will use bounce navigation to ping-pong around your kitchen after dinner, there are plenty of great budget options. The Eufy 11S is very short, to fit under the lowest cabinets. The Dser 21T also has great battery life and doesn't get stuck. So far, though, the Yeedi K is the most effective, and the most affordable, of the ones that I've tried.
The battery lasts a really long time for a budget vac—more than minutes—and it navigates adroitly around the most common vacuum traps in my house, like my kitchen step. It's expensive, but the Roborock S6 MaxV is great for pet hair. It's designed specifically for pet owners, with ReactiveAI that uses two stereoscopic cameras in the front of the vacuum to identify and avoid the most feared robot vacuum obstacles, like pedestals, power strips, and … dog poop.
I didn't bring poop into my house to test this, but the vac identified every other obstacle accurately, even avoiding small piles of Legos. And with 2. If you're house - training a new puppy , a powerful robot vacuum that can identify pet poop might be the perfect pick. Most robot vacuums compete in a crowded field to be incrementally smaller, faster, and more powerful.
It's a vacuum and a mop, it has a microphone, and it's a Wi-Fi-enabled camera you can navigate—peering at your house from ankle height. That's in addition to other high-end navigation features, like obstacle identification and the ability to customize your map with virtual boundaries, designated areas, and multiple floors. This powerful, sophisticated vacuum has a long battery run time and can mop and vacuum on a single pass. But a Wi-Fi-enabled mobile camera in your home is a tempting target for hackers.
It also had a few hiccups in my testing. The app sometimes deleted my painstakingly crafted maps if I updated the software, and the drop sensors got stuck a few times with my kitchen step. Plus, Deebot warns me to clean the sensitive dust sensors with annoying frequency. No duh. Yes, you get dusty! You're a vacuum! The app is simple and easy to use, and the vacuum is quiet and powerful, and it has stellar navigation capabilities. Every time someone I know buys a Eufy, they like it. The company's latest upgrade is a vacuum series that uses laser navigation.
We tested the RoboVac G30 Edge, its affordable mapping robot vac. It doesn't have sophisticated features like virtual no-go zones in the app, and it is a little inefficient.
It took between 50 and 80 minutes to clean my small house; more expensive vacs finish in 30 to 45 minutes. But it still has Eufy's small, slim form factor for squeezing under tight spots. It's quiet, the app is attractive and easy to use, and it's not finicky—it doesn't get stuck or constantly tell me to wipe off its sensors. If you've seen the older Eufy 11S , this is a good, small upgrade to that model.

The manufacturer receives mixed results when it comes to protecting your data, earning a Good rating for data privacy while earning an Excellent rating for data security. To its credit, iRobot is one of the only companies that says it will provide updates to patch security vulnerabilities and establish a vulnerability program open to security researchers.
It falls in the middle of our top picks when it comes to price. And, as noted above, iRobot is one of the better brands for data security. This is a self-emptying model that empties its dustbin into a dirt bag, no hands required.
