Best robot vacuums

Robot vacuums can free up your time if they’re up to the job. Our industry experts comprehensively lab test and review leading robot vacuum brands to help you find the best performers on the market.

Our robot vacuum reviews will tell you which models:

• are the quietest
• are best at picking up dirt from hard floors, corners and edges
• remove the most dirt and pet hair from carpets
• have the longest battery life
• are easiest to use and install – covering the unit and official associated apps
• are best at mopping

All of the robot vacs in our test have the following features: WiFi connectivity, low battery indicator, stairs detection, automatic return to charger.

We updated our test method in 2025, putting greater emphasis on ease of use and mopping performance. This could not be retroactively applied to previously tested models so we have removed them from our compare all table.
