Many connect to apps or digital voice assistants for hands-free cleaning. Other features include boundary strips and auto-empty docks that reduce the work you have to do.

1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra


Roborock's most popular robot vacuum cleaner does not fail to impress. It has more advanced features, but its main benefit is that it can intelligently clean your home. It can identify stain types and floor types and also zones that aren't allowed. It does this using cameras and smart maps to assess its environment. This helps figure out what it should do and when to do it which means you don't need to push a button continuously or select multiple modes.

It can mop like the other Roborock vacuums. This is a fantastic addition to the Roborock range because it makes the robovac better. The mop head is very efficient too and can be changed to a scrub mode to clean more difficult dirt. The robovac also has the ability to reach small thresholds thanks to its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensor.

With suction power that is top of the line, innovative features, and pet-friendly features this vacuum cleaner is a great choice for families with a busy schedule. The advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and customizable options make this robot vacuum cleaner among the top on the market.

3. Eufy X10

The Eufy X10 offers a wide range of features at an affordable price. It does everything you could ask a robot vacuum and mop to do, and all at a reasonable cost.

This model is able to handle cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, such as mopping, sweeping and dusting. Its base station takes a bit more space than other models, requiring 50cm on either side and 150cm in the front.

The intelligent navigation technology of the X10 is able track the layout and design of your home. It stores the data in its internal memory, without ever sending it to the cloud. Combining AI See with iPath laser mapping technology, the X10 is able to efficiently remember room layouts and optimize cleaning routes for efficiency and thoroughness.

The X10's intelligent object recognition system also works well and allows the robot to easily recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It can even be programmed to automatically clean and recharge its battery, which is a nice addition. However, I found that the X10 may be stuck on thicker rugs, crashing noisily over them and occasionally pushing its front brush into the rugs.

It's a great robot vacuum and mop however, it's hampered by the jargon-filled app. In contrast to the iRobot app, which holds your hand through the process of setting up your robot and teaching you how to use it, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure it out on your own. It's still a great alternative, though, and offers the possibility of customization for those looking to get the most of its features.

The battery of the S10 isn't as long-lasting as some of its rivals and might require recharging halfway throughout the year, especially if you live in a large house. It can also be extremely loud when operating, and might not be a good choice to use in areas where silence is desired. However, it is an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is an item that stands out in its category due to its modern, sleek design.
