Many are connected to digital voice assistants, or apps for cleaning hands-free. Others include features like boundary strips and auto-empty docks that lessen the amount of work you need to complete.

1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra

Roborock is a household name for its high-end robotic vacuum cleaner s, and the flagship model does not disappoint. It has more advanced features than previous models, but the primary benefit is its ability to clean your home intelligently for you. It can identify floor types, no-go zones, stubborn spills, pet bowls and more. It does this by assessing its surroundings with a camera and a smart map. This lets it know what it should do at any given time which means you don't have to press buttons repeatedly or setting multiple modes.

Like all Roborock vacuums, this one can also mop. This is a wonderful addition to the collection as it makes this robovac more useful than before. The mop head can be changed into scrub mode to get rid of more difficult dirt. The robovac also has the ability to reach small thresholds thanks to its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensors.

It's an excellent choice for busy families. Its advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and customizable options make it one of the best robot vacuum cleaners available on the market.

3. Eufy X10

If you're looking to buy a high-end all-rounder then the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can do everything you'd want a robot mop and vacuum cleaner to do at a reasonable price.

This model does an impressive job of taking on floor cleaning tasks without hands from mopping to sweeping and even dusting. Its base station requires a bit more space than other models, needing 50cm either side and 150cm in the front.

Its advanced navigation technology can follow the layout of your home, while storing and utilizing the data within its internal memory, without ever having to transfer it to the cloud or any other external source. Combining AI See with iPath laser mapping technology, the X10 is able to effectively keep track of room layouts and optimize cleaning routes for efficiency and thoroughness.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also highly efficient, allowing it detect and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and replenish the battery on its own which is a great feature. The X10 is stuck on more thick rugs. It crashes over them loudly and pushes its front brush into the rug.

Overall it's a top quality robo vacuum and mop that's let down by a somewhat confusing application. As opposed to the iRobot app, which holds your hand through the process of setting up your robot and instructing you how to use it, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure it out on your own. It's a great option for those who wish to personalize it.

4. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution for home cleaning. It combines the power of a vacuum cleaner and mop. It is a unique two-station design framework that allows it to supply mopping water as well as collect dust in the same machine, resulting in a complete cleaning automation.

It's equipped with all the sensors used on high-end robotic vacuums. This lets it map your home in real-time while staying clear of obstacles and recognizing different types of carpets and flooring. A front-facing AI camera is also available which makes it easier for you to navigate through your home and locate areas that are not accessible to most robotic vacuums.

This robotic powerhouse has a high-powered suction motor that's capable of picking up dirt, pet hair and other debris from carpeting with low pile and hard floors. It can also be customized using the app to meet your needs with customized cleaning routines, adjustments for vacuuming and mopping power and real-time notifications of its condition.

The mop is extremely effective. It comes with a RevoRoll roller that applies 10N of pressure to any flooring as well as it comes with a RinseSync cleaning system that cleans itself automatically when it moves through your home. The mop stays clean as it picks up dirt, preventing it from spreading the mess all over your home.

The battery life is not as long as its competitors. It may need an additional recharge in the event of a larger house. It is also extremely loud when in use, and therefore it may not be suitable for use in areas where silence is required. However, it is an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is sleek, contemporary look that makes it a standout model in its category.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's bestselling Mini robot vacuum. This latest version is a combination of an anti-tangle rubber brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor, and upgraded suction power that can reach up to 3000Pa, which provides better corner coverage and overall cleanliness.

Utilizing SLAM navigation and an intuitive app using SLAM navigation, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor works in tandem with an rotary brush that can be used to navigate around furniture. The four-stage cleaning process consolidates the debris, then lifts it up and sweeps it from carpets and floors. The dustbin is self-emptying so you don't have to be concerned about emptying it often.

You can also mark the areas in the room you don't want the device to enter, such as pets toys or power cords. This is a feature that's found in most robotic vacuums and it's useful when you have specific areas of the home that need more attention than others.

You can configure the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes in order to empty its garbage bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that need to be returned regularly and manually emptying the bin, which can save you time.

In my tests I found that the K10 Plus had a very good battery life result. It lasted for 110 minutes on a single run that's higher than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.

The K10 Plus has a fairly compact design, making it easy to fit under furniture or tight spaces. It connects to Wi-Fi and supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri shortcuts. It also integrates with IFTTT and Samsung SmartThings. Its app tracks how often you use its accessories, like the side brushes, filter, and dust bag. This will let you know when it's time to replace them.
