In our Lab's tests, the iRobot Roomba picked up 99.5% of oatmeal and 87.9% of sugar on low-pile carpet. Not bad. This model is Wi-Fi enabled and works with Alexa, so you can get it going on a graham cracker spill before your kid stomps the crumbs to smithereens. Use the iRobot HOME app to schedule and set up custom cleaning preferences, and watch with wonder as it powers through rugs and switches to bare floors without a hitch. When its battery is low, it'll recharge itself and quickly resume cleaning until the job is complete.
Amazon reviewers love this robot vacuum because it's easy on the wallet but still gets the job done. It uses BoostIQ™ Technology to automatically increase suction power when it detects an extra-strength cleaning job is needed. It also recharges on its own, so it'll be ready to come out and clean when you need it. Plus, it's nice to look at and that's because of its sleek design (it was recently re-engineered toward a slimmer design, at just 2.85 inches tall) with an anti-scratch tempered glass-top cover for protection. It also packs in an infrared-sensor to avoid your furniture and drop-sensing tech to steer clear of potential falls.
You love your pet, but you hate the way it sheds. We get it, and so do the folks at Roomba who created this robot vacuum specifically to clean up long pet hair with up to 20 watts of suction power (that's 40 times more suction that 20 times more suction that it's original model), a super wide brush, and a rubber blade to capture more in hard-to-reach areas. Wi-Fi compatible, this can be controlled right on your phone and has mapping technology, so it won't clean the same spot twice.
With outstanding maneuverability, the Shark IQ Robot Vacuum n can vacuum through your home for up to two hours, taking care of your floors and carpet without bumping into obstacles. During testing, this pick vacuumed every size mess efficiently and more quickly than our other winners. Rotating front brushes reach deep into corners and edges. Our favorite feature, however, is the self-emptying base where it automatically empties dirt and debris into the dust bin that only needs to be emptied once a month.
On the more affordable side, this little wunderkind will make pet hair a thing of the past. Think of it as your solution to cleaning underneath kitchen cabinets and making the challenging areas of your home sparkle. That's due to the Triple Action Cleaning System that combines dual edge brushes, a rotating Brush Roll and powerful suction to clean pet hair and debris on the floor, including along edges and in corners, with ease. It connects to WiFi and can be controlled by an app, or Alexa.
