15 Best Robot Vacuums 2025: Tested and Reviewed

We found the Roborock S8 to be a strong performer with a powerful 6,000Pa suction and LiDAR navigation that mapped rooms efficiently during our review, and its 5,200mAh battery delivered up to 180 minutes of runtime for large cleaning sessions. Our experience shows it handles fine dust and larger debris well, but it runs loudly at full power and the small dirt compartment means you'll empty it more often since there’s no self-emptying base. This model scored an 8/10 in our guide because it balances battery endurance and cleaning power with a few maintenance trade-offs.

If you live with pets or lots of cords, the Roomba J7+ earned an 8/10 in our testing for its advanced obstacle avoidance — it reliably steers clear of pet waste and cables using Smart Map navigation. We found its 1,700 Pa suction and self-emptying base make daily upkeep nearly hands-free, though the 75-minute runtime means larger homes may see mid-clean recharges. During our review the bin-emptying was noticeably loud, comparable to an upright vacuum, which is a practical downside to an otherwise effective, mid-priced robot.

The Dreame X50 Ultra earned top marks in our testing thanks to an enormous 20,000Pa of suction and intelligent features like ProLeap retractable legs that let it climb over 6 cm obstacles with ease. We found the self-cleaning dock, which uses 80°C water and UV sterilization, keeps the robot hygienic and truly reduces maintenance, supporting its premium positioning and 9.5/10 score. During our review it struggled a bit with edge cleaning and its ~90‑minute battery can be limiting in larger homes, plus the navigation sometimes mislabels hard floors as rugs, so expect occasional app tweaks.

The DEEBOT T20 OMNI scored 8/10 in our testing by combining strong 6,000 Pa suction with an effective hot-water mop washing system that left hard floors noticeably cleaner. We found the automatic mop-lift feature handy for avoiding wet carpets, and the 170-minute battery covers large homes, but the sizable docking station demands floor space you might not have. During our review it struggled to avoid smaller objects and cables and the app can be confusing at first, so expect some setup and supervision despite its powerful cleaning tools.

If you want strong suction without breaking the bank, the Roborock Q7 M5 delivers 10,000Pa HyperForce that in our testing cleared embedded dirt and pet hair across both rugs and hard floors. We found its LiDAR-based Smart Map navigation to be fast and accurate, and the dual anti-tangle JawScrapers + tangle-free side brush really reduces hair clogs for pet owners. During our review the 150‑minute battery life handled most medium homes, but our experience shows the mopping leaves streaks sometimes and the small water tank and occasional docking-alignment errors can interrupt mid-cycle. Overall it scored 8/10—solid cleaning power with a few practical quirks to know about.

We found the Shark PowerDetect to be a great middle-ground option with a self-emptying base that meaningfully reduces upkeep while its mopping function handled stubborn messes like mud and ketchup well in our testing. During our review NeverStuck Technology helped it navigate thresholds and small obstacles, but it did show weakness on carpets with large debris and occasional app stability issues that interfered with scheduling. Our experience shows it’s a solid 8/10 performer for mixed-floor homes if you prioritize low-maintenance operation, though edge cleaning could be improved.

In our testing the Shark AI Ultra proved to be a dependable, budget‑friendly smart cleaner with 2,100Pa suction and a self‑emptying base that can hold up to 60 days of debris, which dramatically cuts maintenance. We found its advanced navigation covered rooms thoroughly, though during our review occasional mapping inaccuracies and some carpet suction inconsistencies cropped up. Our experience shows it earned an 8.5/10 for overall value and convenience, especially if you want long runtimes (up to 180 minutes) and minimal daily upkeep.

The eufy L60 scored 8.5/10 in our testing thanks to an impressive 5,000 Pa of suction and iPath laser navigation that plans efficient routes across mixed floors. We found the self-emptying station genuinely cuts maintenance—claimed up to 60 days hands-free—even though the robot’s own 350 ml dustbin is small and can feel cramped between station cycles. During our review the 120-minute runtime handled large areas well, but operation can be loud on carpets and the initial setup and mapping require patience.

If you’re after a straightforward, budget robot the eufy RoboVac 12 impressed us with a slim 2.85‑inch profile and a respectable 1,500Pa suction that picked up daily dirt from under low furniture during our testing. We found its 100‑minute runtime adequate for small apartments, but our experience shows the lack of Wi‑Fi means no app control or scheduling and no boundary strips are included to easily restrict zones. During our review it occasionally struggled with obstacles and needs a hands-on owner for optimal performance, which explains its sensible value-oriented 7/10 standing.

If you’re on a tight budget, the ILIFE V3s Pro scored 6.5/10 in our testing for simple, reliable pet-hair pickup — its low-profile design slips under furniture and it’s quiet enough for daily runs. We found its 1,000 Pa suction works on hard floors but struggles on medium-to-high pile carpets, and the tiny dustbin requires frequent emptying. During our review the random navigation occasionally left it stuck under tight edges, so expect more hands-on rescues than with smarter mapping models.

If you want a budget-friendly liquid cleaner to refresh floors, the eufy RoboVac Cleaning Solution impressed us as cost-effective and leaves a pleasant blueberry scent that makes routine mopping feel cleaner in our testing. We found it uses very little per cycle, so the bottle lasts, but during our review it didn’t reliably remove tougher stains or hardened residues on tile grout. Our experience shows water marks can appear on some surfaces and scent options are limited to blueberry, so it’s best for light maintenance rather than heavy-duty stain removal.

The DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI impressed us with exceptional OZMO Roller mopping performance and a strong 16,600Pa suction that handled carpets and hard floors during our review. We found the advanced AI navigation maps accurately and avoids obstacles well, and the included self-emptying features earn it a high practical value despite its premium $1,099 price and 8.5/10 score. Our experience shows the taller profile can limit under-furniture access and it sometimes struggles with thresholds, so it’s worth confirming clearance if you have low sofas or lots of door lips.

In our testing the eufy E20 stood out for versatility — it works as a robot, handheld and stick vacuum — and its strong 8,000Pa suction made quick daily cleanups painless. We found the 180‑minute battery life impressive for extended runs, but during our review it can be noisy at higher power levels and the mapping requires manual input to reliably identify carpets and furniture. Our experience shows it’s a practical 3‑in‑1 tool for someone who values flexibility, though the noise and hands-on mapping keep it from being flawless.

The Roborock Saros Z70 packs cutting-edge features like a robotic arm and a massive 22,000Pa suction, which in our testing cleaned every floor type aggressively and used the Multi‑functional Dock 4.0 to automate emptying and mop washing. During our review the arm’s ability to lift items up to 300 g was clever but it did slow overall cleaning by roughly 10–15% and was inconsistent avoiding power cords. Our experience shows the Z70 feels extremely capable but its high $2,599 price and some navigation hiccups leave it at a 6/10 for mainstream buyers.

As our premium pick that earned a 9/10, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI stood out in testing with superior obstacle avoidance, precise mapping and 6,000 Pa suction that handled carpets and hard floors. We found the All-in-One Clean Station a real timesaver—automatically emptying the dustbin and washing mop pads—but the $1,399 price is steep. During our review occasional navigation hiccups and louder noise cropped up, yet the 180-minute runtime and integrated mop make it a best-in-class choice for hands-off deep cleaning if budget allows.
