Sobre Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners
You don’t want to wet your carpets, and some robot manufacturers are now solving this problem with robots that automatically detect carpets and lift the mopping pads to avoid causing damage.
We’ve previously tested and been impressed by other Eufy models, including the RoboVac G20 and RoboVac X8, so we’re confident recommending this newer unit. Equipped with BoostIQ Technology, it automatically increases suction power when detecting dirtier areas. We also like that its large wheels allow smooth transitions between medium-pile carpet, hardwood and tile, though it can't pass thresholds taller than 0.
❌ You want high levels of control: This robovac doesn't always do exactly as its told when it comes to more complex instructions.
✅ You have carpet in your home: We were very impressed with this model's suction powers, which is great news if you need something that can pull dust from carpet.
65 inches, so it may struggle with taller door ledges. Sensors on the underside prevent falls from ledges or stairs, while laser navigation ensures it maneuvers effectively without bumping into walls or furniture.
There are newer features and models that were created to avoid this, some now come with mapping tape so you can square off areas you want them to clean, others feature detailed floor-scanning, which will detect cables and areas to avoid.
Other notable features include a self-cleaning brush roll that minimizes hair tangles, an UltraClean mode that revisits areas three times for a deeper clean and the ability to glide smoothly over lightweight rugs and mats that sometimes trip up other robots.
James has tested robot vacuums of all sorts from the most basic models to the ones so feature-packed that they can be used as a security camera. He appreciates models that can suck up all sorts of debris, clean the edges of rooms, and allow easy room partitioning in-app.
If you just want something that's shallow in profile for getting beneath furniture, look for a robovac without a raised central puck. This puck is generally used for robot vacuum navigation, but there are options that use different approaches – including all Roomba models, and some of Roborock's newest bots like the Qrevo Slim and Roborock Saros 10R (both of which we rate very highly).
Previously in this slot we had the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, which offers hot water mopping that's great at tackling greasy spillages. There are some compromises you'll need to make with this model, but it's often on sale and significantly cheaper than this Eureka model.
Automatic vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. They make life so much easier! Not sure which one to buy?
The Dyson 360 Vis Nav Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners almost has it all: immense suction, excellent edge cleaning, and a great design. Plus it's packed with all sorts of features, such as disc brakes and a remote electronic lock. However, it's expensive and lacks a self-emptying option which makes it more hands-on.
If your robot vacuum has a mopping function, some bases come with water tanks and scrubbing abilities as well, so it can keep the mop cloth clean. However, there are some drawbacks to self-emptying bases. Besides the additional cost, these take up a lot more floor space.
With proper care and maintenance, robot vacuums can last just as long as full-size vacuums. This means that as long as you are cleaning the rotating brushes regularly (hairs will get tangled here!), using your robot vacuum according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replacing parts like batteries and wheels, it’ll be helping you keep your home clean for years to come.
