About this deal

As you’d expect from iRobot’s highest-end model, it’s not cheap (although worth noting it is currently on offer), and it wasn’t any faster than either of the other machines we tested from the brand. It can only be controlled via the app, but we found it clear to use, allowing you to set no-go zones, create cleaning schedules and look over the battery life and cleaning history. Bin capacity: Robot vacuums need emptying more frequently than a regular vacuum, but there’s still quite a variation in bin capacity from model to model. The largest you’ll see tend to be around 0.7 litres in size, but they can be as small as 0.4 litres. Some models have larger bins built into their base stations that they automatically empty into when charging, but these tend to be very expensive. The cheaper versions run to a random cleaning pattern and bump around your rooms blindly, cleaning as they go. This works up to a point but it can take a while for these types of vacuum to finish cleaning a room and, although they do their best to cover all the floor, they often miss spots here and there. The latest robot vacuum cleaners are smarter, more powerful and more flexible than ever before. Their navigation systems mean they don't miss a single inch, and some can even detect when they're moving between hard floors, carpets and rugs. They make less noise, they're more efficient and they can avoid obstacles ranging from furniture to kids' toys or curious pets.

During testing each robot is connected to Wi-Fi and controlled through the supplied app, where available. We test all the features and functions available, including navigation to a second storey, to ensure robots can handle switching between multiple maps. If a robot has a self-emptying station or comes with a mop attachment, we test those, too. We consider pet hair, too. Using the real thing sourced from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, our expert grinds it into the carpet to create a worst-case scenario before putting each vacuum to work. In short, yes. Robot vacuums can be more expensive than upright or cordless vacuums. Still, you’re paying for the added convenience of not having to do the vacuuming yourself and worry about how often you should vacuum. Robot vacuums are an excellent solution for busy people who don’t have time to put the vacuum around. Still, they offer a good alternative for those with mobility issues because all you need to do is switch them on. Self-emptying or not, most robot vacuums also equip small HEPA filters that capture allergens as they run.The Roomba S9+ is self-emptying and deposits the debris from each clean into the 14.9oz / 440ml replaceable dust bag in the charging and emptying station - meaning you won’t have to empty the robot vacuum regularly. Instead, you’ll get an alert on the app when it needs replacing, and the vacuum offers integration with Alexa and Google Assistant. It's not the cheapest robovac you can buy, but we think it's the best. Although it’s a good vacuum cleaner, it’s the mopping action that impressed us most. The robot uses two circular mop pads that rotate at 180rpm, which gives the mop more cleaning power than rival robots, most of which simply wipe the floor as they pass.

Today, the best robot vacuums offer a full suite of cleaning tools and assorted bells and whistles. There’s self-charging and self-emptying, of course, but in their bids to be the king of the robot vacuum hill, companies like iRobot and Ecovacs have also introduced mopping, LiDAR mapping (a fancy GPS), on-board cameras, and even self-cleaning. iRobot is one of the most respected names in the robot vacuum market, and the Roomba i3+ EVO is its most affordable model with a self-emptying dustbin. It's hard to overstate the advantages of this feature. Beyond offering greater convenience than their more manual counterparts, self-emptying robot vacuums significantly limit your exposure to dust, a big plus if you suffer from allergies. The i3+ EVO offers 10 times the suction power of the entry-level Roomba 600 series, and in testing did a good job of removing dirt from hard floors and carpet. This model also boasts smart mapping capabilities, so you can send it right to specific rooms by phone or voice for targeted area cleanings. Who It's For If you're looking for a robot vacuum on a budget, the Eufy 11S is worth considering. It has a reasonable price and that price is often discounted, so you’ll be hard pushed to find a rival that's such good value for money. All robot vacuums employ bumpers and sensors to help them navigate their way around your home and to prevent them coming to grief by falling down the stairs. But some are more efficient at finding their way around than others.These days, automatic dustbin emptying is becoming a standard robot vacuum feature. While most self-emptying robot vacuums transfer the contents of their bin into a bag, the Shark IQ Robot XL takes a different approach. It has two dustbins: one in the robot itself, and a larger one in the base station that only needs to be emptied about once a month. The advantage of Shark's bagless auto-empty system is that you never have to worry about running out of bags.
