Best Robotic Vacuums

The iRobot Roomba 980 was on most lists as the top robot vacuum. It connects easily with the iRobot Home App for smartphones and seamlessly cleans an entire floor, will not fall down stairs and will automatically return to it's charging port when the battery runs low. It's great for deep cleaning, pet hair and sweeping along walls. If you have an ample space to clean or are merely looking for a highly-rated robotic vacuum, the Roomba 980 is the best you can find.

With the ability to map out your entire house and build a floor plan to ensure proper cleaning, the Neato Botvac D7 Connected is a well-rounded, fully-featured robotic vacuum. Additional features include mapping for areas that need more cleaning as well as areas not to clean at all, multiple cleaning settings for eco or turbo speeds and 120 minutes of battery life.

Being significantly cheaper than most of the other vacuums on this list does not mean the iLife A4s is small in feature-set. With tangle-free rollers and a two-sided brush, the cleaning power is pretty impressive. And if you need to increase the suction power even more, use the included remote control to switch into Max mode. It should be noted that this vacuum is not suited for high-pile carpeting or very dark-colored floors.

What makes the Powerbot R7070 great for pet hair are a few key features. First, the self-cleaning brush detangles and removes hair that gets on the bristles. Second, the wide brush and D-shape ensures cleaning all the way up edges, ensuring no hidden pet hair gets left behind. Lastly, the multiple cleaning options, especially the Max setting, gives you the opportunity to clean each day depending on how much of a mess there is.

With smart mapping technology allowing you to set what areas not to clean while also listing priority rooms for cleaning, the Ozmo 930 will ensure a satisfactory clean every time. What makes this vacuum especially unique is the ability to mop floors as well as vacuum, making this the top choice for bare floors. And don't worry about mopping carpets. The Ozmo 930 will stay away from carpeted areas during the mopping process.

With the CLEAN app connection, edge-sweeping brushes and Triple-Stage Cleaning, the iRoomba 890 is a tremendous all-around vacuum but excels on carpeting specifically. This is due to the advanced cleaning system, which uses tangle-free, multi-surface brushes along with air powerlifting suction that cleans five times better than iRobot's lower-end models.

Using patented DirtDetect technology combined with the ability to get under most furniture, the Roomba 960 is the perfect solution for those looking for a deep cleaning robotic vacuum. The HOME app allows you to set a cleaning schedule, customize cleaning preferences and alerts you when cleaning is done or when the bin is full. And with the auto-adjusting cleaning head, transitioning from bare floors to carpet is easy.

The Botvac D5 Connected features Neato's LaserSmart technology for accurate navigation and comes with two optional brushes, a Combo Brush and a Spiral Blade Brush, to ensure the right clean for your flooring. It also features a unique D-shape, which allows the vacuum to get into spaces round vacuums would not otherwise be able to. And depending on your mess, you can either use the quieter but less powerful Eco mode or, the stronger Turbo Mode.

This vacuum features a self-cleaning, dual-sided brush, smart navigation and connected the app with Wi-Fi. However, the best part is the voice command compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Voice commands include starting the vacuum, pausing and returning to the dock. Once the 0.45-quart dustbin is full, cleanup is as easy as sliding out the pan, dumping it, and sliding it back in.
