The Best Options for Robotic Vacuuming
Vacuuming is a divisive chore. Some people find it satisfying and relaxing, while others would be happy to never have to do it again. Regardless of your stance on this chore, you’ll likely agree there’s something tempting about having a robot vacuum take over this job for you.
Not only does owning a robot vacuum save you time (you can program it to clean while you’re busy or away), but it also has several other benefits.
- Many models are designed to clean multiple types of flooring, so there’s no need to use different products to get the job done.
- Robot vacuums can get into those hard-to-reach places to pick up the crumbs, dust, and strands of hair that can hide in crevices.
- Those who live with kids or pets can spend less time cleaning up after them and more time enjoying them, while the automated robot handles the work.
So, what is our top pick for a robot vacuum? Okay, we have to admit that we couldn’t pick just one of these cleaning gadgets. We all have different types of homes and unique cleaning needs, so it didn’t make sense to select a single model. Instead, we picked a few of our favorites.
Best for Saying Goodbye to a Dustpan: EyeVac Home Stationary Vacuum
Sometimes, you don’t need to vacuum an entire room. You might just need to sweep up a small part of it. When this happens, you might think you need to break out the old dustpan with your trusty broom. However, the EyeVac Home Stationary Vacuum is a much better option.
Instead of bending down to wrangle a dustpan while you sweep, you can simply sweep your troubles (and dirt) into this sleek unit. This stationary 1,000-watt vacuum sucks up hair, dust, and debris, including pet food and kitty litter. Infrared sensors detect when you’re sweeping near the device and automatically activate the unit, allowing for touchless operation. As a bonus, this vacuum includes two high-efficiency filters that prevent dust from blowing out of its exhaust.
Best for Easy Mopping: Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop
While there’s no shortage of amazing robot vacuums, the same generally can’t be said about robotic mops. Most of them require a lot of maintenance to do a less-than-stellar job of mopping. However, there is one notable exception: the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra robotic vacuum and mop.
This amazing robot mop might be pricey, but its features are well worth it. A large charging station automatically empties the unit’s dustbin, washes its mop, and refills its water tank for a hands-free cleaning experience. To avoid obstacles, which has traditionally been an issue for robot mops, the Roborock uses proprietary technology to recognize and map obstacles, such as walls or furniture.

Best for Pet Messes: Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro All-in-One Wet Dry Vacuum
There’s no denying that pets are beloved members of the family and enrich our lives. However, we also can’t deny that they can make some serious messes. Thankfully, the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro All-in-One Wet Dry Vacuum is well-suited to clean up after your pets.
Although this cleaning gadget isn’t automated, it’s still one that pet parents love to have in their arsenal. This bad boy can vacuum and wash at the same time, making both wet and dry pet messes just a memory. The unit is designed to work on surfaces that range from linoleum and laminate to tile and area rugs. Bissell has also included plenty of features to avoid problems like pet hair wrapping around the brush roller and two-tank technology to keep the dirty water separate from the fresh water with cleaning solution.
Best for Scrubbing: Rubbermaid Reveal Cordless Scrubber
Even those who enjoy cleaning tend to dread tackling problem areas like soap scum in the shower and dirty grout. After all, it can be tiring and sometimes thankless work with manual scrub brushes. The Rubbermaid Reveal Cordless Scrubber is changing this though.
While this cleaning gadget might look like your electric toothbrush, don’t be fooled. This battery-powered scrub brush has an oscillating head that scrubs 60 times per second. You can select one of the two settings, which include pulse and continuous scrubbing, to get the perfect clean for grout lines, corners, and crevices. You’ll love that this scrubber is durable and water-resistant and that the gadget has a soft ergonomic grip.
