Robots aren't quite as adept in removing debris like metal screws or pasta pieces. However, they are amazing at brushing away pet hair, dust and food particles. The best models have smart navigation technology, which assists them in avoiding cords, toys and other household obstacles.
1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is a fantastic robot vacuum with a number of clever features that make it much easier to maintain than other models. Its automatic bin emptying is one of the most efficient features we've seen in the form of a robot and it's compatible on both hard floors and carpets. It's also simple to set up and operate with the app that guides you step-by-step through the procedure. Another notable feature is the ability to return to where it began in our tests. It did this for 77 minutes in one automated cleaning before running out of battery.
Unlike some of the other robovacs we've test, the i3+ EVO features a self vacuum-emptying bin that dumps debris into an external dirt compartment on its charging base when it's full. The i3+ EVO is able to prevent overfilling with a self-emptying bin. However it still needs to be emptied manually at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dust bin can hold 2.4L which will last for four to five cleaning sessions.
Similar to the i7, this model uses state-of-the-art floor sensors to create maps and navigate neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only keep one map, whereas the i7 can store multiple. The i7 can also utilize its map to create no-go zones and virtual barriers, but the i3+ EVO can't.
The i3+ EVO is more effective of removing debris from the surface in comparison to other robovacs we've reviewed, but it is not the best at cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture, despite being relatively quiet. It pushed chairs away from walls, and made some collisions with the sides of our bed, and it got stuck on cords and toys during our testing.

This robot does a great job of cleaning floors that are not clean and its avoidance technology helps it stay clear of furniture legs and other obstacles. It also does well on carpets and gets an excellent score in our navigation tests. The only drawback is that it's louder than other models and doesn't perform better in our user-satisfaction and predicted reliability tests.
The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin that is 770ml, which means you don't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. Its 240-minute runtime is also quite generous in comparison to other robots we've examined. When the battery is running low, it returns automatically to its dock, where it recharges and resumes cleaning from where it began. You can control the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
This is one of the first robots we've seen incorporate 3D mapping. This, along with other advancements, allows it to excel during our mopping and vacuuming tests. You can plan cleaning schedules, create no-go zones, and check the battery's condition among other things. The app is simple to use, though it isn't compatible with Apple HomeKit; that feature is slated to be added by 2025. As of November 1, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to indicate that this feature is delayed until 2025. HomeKit isn't compatible with several other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.
