Robot Vacuums

Automated cleaning while you relax

63 products tested

Picture this: you spend $400 on a robot vacuum that promises to handle your pet hair, only to watch it push tumbleweeds of fur around your living room while getting hopelessly tangled. Or worse, it works great for two months, then dies completely because the filter system wasn't designed for real-world use.

You're not alone. Most people choose robot vacuums based on price and marketing promises, missing the crucial details that separate genuine workhorses from expensive disappointments.

After putting 63 robot vacuums through rigorous real-world testing, we've learned what actually matters. The difference between a $200 model that outperforms and a $600 model that frustrates often comes down to suction consistency and navigation intelligence, not fancy app features.

Many expensive models fail our pet hair test within weeks because their brush systems clog easily. Others with impressive suction power can't navigate around furniture legs without getting stuck daily. We've also discovered that models with the longest advertised battery life often perform poorly as the battery ages.

The winners in our tests share two key traits: they maintain strong suction across different floor types and return reliably to their charging stations without human intervention. These aren't always the most expensive options.

Our hands-on testing reveals which models actually deliver on their promises and which ones will leave you reaching for your old vacuum within a month. Check out our detailed reviews below to find the robot vacuum that matches your specific cleaning needs.
