The most effective robots can navigate using sensors and have a superior spatial awareness. The top Roomba models, for instance can recognize staircases and stairwells.
They also come with Smart Maps that allow them to intelligently move from room rooms. Other models, such as our budget-friendly choice, Eufy 11s use random “bump-and-run” navigation.
1. Easy to clean
Contrary to the majority of cheaper robot vacuums which bounce around randomly, bagless self-cleaning robots intelligent robots use a system known as smart mapping to make an outline of your room. They then clean it using a pattern of straight, overlapping lines. This lets them reach pet hair and dirt clumps that might get snagged in the roller brushes of other models.
Smart mapping can also help the robots avoid obstacles like lamp cords, toys, and even your pet's leash. The iRobot J7+ is the best robot vacuum for pet hair self-emptying bagless example of this, and it does better of removing dust and cat litter from hardwood floors than the other robots we've examined.
The onboard trash bin of the machine is self-emptying so you do not have to empty it manually after each cleaning session. It's big enough to store up to a month's worth debris before it has to be replaced. The Shark IQ XL, which is about the same price as the iRobot is a good option for those who want the convenience of an intelligent robot vacuum but don't need all of the mapping or other advanced features that the iRobot provides.
Both of these models have a sensor that let them know when they need recharge and return to their charging docks at end of each cleaning session. The robots will then recharge and reset for the next clean-up session. There are bases that permit the robot to self-empty and store the dirt in the waste bin instead of the traditional dustbin.
These bases are compatible with iRobot's new Allergen Lock bag system, which stores mold and pollen in a separate Allergen Lock bag that's designed to be simple to clean, remove and replace. You can also program the base to send an email to the robot to inform it that you've moved furniture or anything else, allowing the robot to go back to clean up where it left off. This feature, in conjunction with the navigation and mapping technology that gives the top Roombas a keen spatial awareness they are a great choice for those who want hands-free cleaning to meet their specific requirements.
2. Easy to store
In addition to ensuring their robots work efficiently, iRobot also makes them easy to store. They're designed to be compact and lightweight with no long cords that get caught up or ripped in storage. Plus, they're equipped with an intelligent docking station that automatically recharges and then picks up where it began when you return.
PRECISION HOME MAAPPING 360deg LiDAR maps your home quickly and accurately so that your robot can clean your home without causing damage to furniture, walls or other obstacles, whether it's day or night. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant allow you to create a schedule for cleaning or even initiate cleaning on demand. You can also activate cleaning by speaking. Incredible suction: The powerful Shark suction reaches deep into carpets, and engages hardwood floors directly to get rid of pet hair and other particles.
The Roxxter by iRobot is another excellent alternative for those looking for a bagless robot vacuums intelligent robot that is easy to store and maintain. It's designed to be compact and slim and has an intelligent docking station that automatically charges and resumes where it began when it's time to clean. The dirt chamber is removed and easily emptied and the robot is powered by an efficient lithium-ion battery that provides up to 120 minutes of running time.
3. Easy to use
Like its name suggests, this robot vacuum is bagless and self-emptying. It is a powerful suction machine and numerous clever features, such as a virtual no-go zone function and cleaning history reports. It has a broad range of cleaning strategies that can be programmed and automatically generated depending on the type and size of the room, flooring and obstructions.
The robot is controlled via the SharkClean app, using voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, or the physical Clean and Dock buttons on the top. The app is well-designed and lets you control the robot from any place in the house, or set cleaning times, define the boundaries of your zone and track the progress of cleaning.
Like the iRobot Roomba j7+, the L10s Ultra uses what iRobot calls Dirt Detect to focus its cleaning efforts in areas where it has found a lot of dirt. When I spilled cat litter on my hardwood flooring, the iRobot spotted the amount of debris and reversed itself back to the start of the area and took another shot at it. It even picked up the litter that was scattered by sweeping the side brush, which is a feat for any robot.

Its sensors look for staircases and walls and furniture cords, legs and other items that could cause the robot to get stuck. Using millions of customer data, iRobot's mapping technology improves over time and gets better in avoiding obstacles.
Our budget-friendly pick for the budget-friendly Eufy 11S does not have smart navigation and uses only bounce or random navigation. The result is that it will run in a straight line until it comes across an obstacle, after which it may spend a long time trying to navigate around the obstacle. It's also not very adept at navigating corners and other tight spaces, and the software that creates its routes is not consistent. The robot does not work with Alexa or Google Assistant.
4. Easy to modify
As consumers share their homes with robots, they want them to be as intelligent and logical as possible. This is why iRobot created a state-of-the art Genius Home Intelligence platform that lets robots learn the layout of each home and its specific objects, as well as their owners' preferences when navigating around these items. Keith says the technology behind these features makes the robots of the company so popular. It allows users to be secure in the knowledge that they can trust a robot to look after their home.
Roomba for instance, has a keen spatial awareness that allows it to recognize the dirtiest areas in your home and then clean them first. The user-programmed “keep out zones” and “clean zones” allow you to customize the cleaning process. These systems can also be controlled via smartphone apps or voice commands using digital assistants such as Amazon's Alexa or Google Home.
