Ever wished that you could just press a button and your floors would be magically cleaned without you lifting a finger? Then you need a robot vacuum cleaner. Whether you’re at home or out and about, your robo vac can be on dust patrol 24-7. And whether deep carpets or mountains of pet hair, there’s a best robot vacuum for every job. Vacuuming or mopping, they’re designed to take the hassle out of cleaning the floors.

In this guide, we’ll help you navigate through the maze of features and specs to find the perfect robot vacuum cleaner for your floors.

Best robot vacuum and mop

The biggest cleaning jobs can be taking on those hard floors. It’s not just a case of dust and dirt, but liquid mixing in too and turning everything into a sticky mess that’s hard to tackle. Yuck!

Eufy Robot vacuums are a good place to start. The Eufy RoboVac G30 Hybrid uses powerful suction to clean up crumbs, dust and dirt. Then you just swap the dust container for a water tank and it’ll get to mopping too. It’s up there with the best robot mop and vacuums around.

Best robot vacuum for carpets

It’s vital to keep carpets clean, since without regular vacuuming they can collect all kinds of ingrained dirt and moisture, which can quickly lead to more dust mites, bacteria and other nasties. Yikes! By vacuuming regularly, you can keep these problems at bay. But how many of us find the time or remember to do it? That’s where a robo vac takes over. By setting a schedule, the robo vac will keep your carpet free of dirt and dust.

The Samsung Jet Bot+ is a carpet master. Thanks to its Intelligent Power Control, it can identify the type of surface you set it down on, how dirty it is and then adjusts suction power to match. So even with fluffy carpets, there’s nowhere for dirt to hide. And because Samsung Robot Vacuums can be hooked up to Samsung Smart Things, they can be controlled like the rest of your smart home. And this unlocks even more special powers! Having friends over and running late? Set the robo vac on cleaning duties - it’s one less thing to worry about.

Best robot vacuum cleaner for pet hair

All pet owners know that pet hair gets everywhere and there’s a seemingly endless supply! So having a robot that can take care of it for you will save hours of vacuuming each week. But what should you look for if you want the best?

The Eufy Clean X8 Pro Robot vacuum cleaner has a couple of neat tricks up its sleeves. Its powerful 2 x 4000 Pa suction doesn't miss a hair. Plus its active detangling roller brush means you won't have to pulling those hairs out of the machine by hand. And because it self-empties once full, it can stay on paw patrol that much longer.

Best affordable vacuum robot

Identifying the best budget cleaning robot is all relative, since it depends on how much you’re willing to spend. But we all like to get the best bang for our buck, and there are plenty of options that give you amazing value for money. Airrobo do some great robo vacs that include premium features for a bargain price.

The Airrobo P20 is a good example. You get 2 hours of run time, 4 different cleaning modes, anti-collision sensors and an app to control it from.

Best self-emptying robot vacuum

Having a robo vac that can be programmed to vac exactly where you want and when you want is pretty amazing. But one that can also empty itself once full is pretty next level!

The TP-LINK RV30 Plus V1 has a big 4-litre dustbin which it can empty into when it’s full, without you needing to get involved at all. And with an 180-minute run time, it can take care of loads of rooms while you’re out and about or getting on with other things.

Best robot vacuum with voice control

So you’ve got a robo vac that will do the floor cleaning and mopping and even empty itself out. What more could you want? How about one that you can control just by asking? Fortunately this is a feature that lots of robot vacuum cleaners have. The Miele Scout Runner RX3 is a great example, since it uses Amazon’s popular Alexa voice assistant. So the next time you have an emergency spill, just say the words and your Scout Runner will come riding to the rescue!
