Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners Opções
❌ You have space for a bigger robovac: You're paying a premium for the size here – there are bigger, better-performing bots in this bracket.
Why we love it: The high-filtration dust bag and HEPA AirClean filter help keep dust from being released back into the air. The power cord is retractable and all of the included tools can be stored in the canister.
We also test their performance when picking up small residue, such as crumbs, and let each robot vacuum loose in a room full of obstacles, assessing how well it copes when manoeuvring under an armchair or behind a footstool, and how its coverage matches up to a regular vacuum cleaner. We time how long it takes and look at how well it picks up from corners, edges and crevices.
If you have long hair, or live with someone who does, you might want to consider a robot vacuum with features geared towards ensuring it doesn't end up tangled all around the brushrolls.
The Freo X Ultra's mopping capabilities are not quite as impressive as its vacuuming, but still good. On test, it cleared up spillages well, but the mop pads couldn't get close to the edges of rooms.
Pelo matter which one you choose, pretty much all of them will integrate with your smart home setup, meaning you can use Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant to set schedules or activate cleaning with a voice command, even when you’re not at home.
Pet hair wasn’t much of a challenge for it and it navigated obstacles well, reaching nicely into awkward spaces, but it struggled at room edges, especially on carpet.
Testers found its app was user friendly and the accompanying instructions clear, while the robot moved well, especially around furniture (although it struggled to go underneath a draped bed).
If you have cash to splash and want the best of the best, Roborock is the brand to browse, and we rate the Roborock Qrevo Curv as the best premium robot vacuum you can buy right now. This hybrid robot vacuum-and-mop offers outstanding vacuuming, soaring through all our suction tests and proving more than a match for our Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners reviewer's pet hair-covered carpets.
You can also opt for a robot vacuum, which does the cleaning for you and goes back to recharge on its own when it’s time, but the charging base must remain connected to a power outlet and should not be moved so the robot knows how to get back to it after cleaning.
Other special features include SmartScrub technology and auto-fill and empty functionality – plus, it promises not to pick up any pet accidents (risking spreading it across your floors); it cleans around them instead.
Many of today's best robot vacuums are pretty pricey, but if you're on a tighter budget, check out the Narwal Freo X Plus. Where it really shines is its vacuuming performance. It packs 7,800Pa of suction, which is more in line with what I'd expect in a much pricier model than one on the cusp between budget and mid-range.
The app is easy to use and functions well. Our reviewer was also very impressed with the mapping – the X10 accurately mapped their apartment on its first exploratory outing – as well as the navigation and obstacle avoidance.
And this design from Eufy definitely falls into that category. It’s the first one to have a dual water tank within the robot, which means it collects dirty water and cleans the mop as it goes.
