Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is our most powerful cleaning robot yet. It vacuums with 100% more suction power*, mops back-and-forth with downward pressure—and learns which rooms get dirty fastest and gives them the deep cleaning they deserve.

But don’t set your expectations too high. These machines excel in routine midweek cleanups but can’t replace traditional plug-in vacuums, especially on rugs. And even the fanciest models can drive you mad, getting tangled or trapped, or missing piles of dirt.

High-quality robot vacuums generally offer robust smart home integration and app controls. This means you can start or stop cleans with voice commands through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, and you can use a smartphone app to get a lot more functionality. The companion apps for the best robots typically allow multi-level mapping (saving maps for each floor of your home), creating virtual “pelo-go” zones or targeted room cleaning, setting custom schedules (even different suction powers in different rooms), and viewing cleaning history.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv is Roborock's latest robot vacuum mop combo with innovative features and impressive performance. It excels in debris pickup and carpet cleaning with its tangle-resistant DuoDivide brush, as well as mopping with advanced spinning pads.

It has advanced mapping which our top pick overall lacks, so it can record and remember a blueprint of multiple floors of your house after just a few trips; you can then label individual rooms, and tell the s9+ to clean specific rooms on specific days.

Top performers can find their way out of tight spots and around extension cords. You’ll need to do some prep work in moving clothes, toys, and other objects from the floor before sending out the vacuum, though.

Obstacle navigation: We noted whether the robot was able to climb the 0.75-inch threshold to the bathroom, how often it got tripped up by obstacles, and whether it elicited certain failure messages repeatedly.

While the best robot vacuums can get nearly every inch of your floors, there's one place they can't reach: Your couch cushions. That's why the Ecovacs Deebot T30s Combo is a great option for those who want to clean their upholstery, but don't want to buy a second vacuum just for the task.

The mopping function is basic enough. You need to manually swap in the attachment any time you want to mop, and it will happily try to mop your carpets and rugs given half the chance.

With advanced smart navigation, it knows how to get around any home and clean each area in the optimal way. Even the dock is smart, automatic bin emptying, liquid refills, washing the mop pad, and pumping clean water through the dock to ensure it stays clean. When your cleaning robot is designed smarter, it makes your life easier.

While the vacuum earns very good scores for data security, it rates as less than satisfactory for data privacy. Despite being a little noisier than many other tested models, this robot vacuum is powerful and designed for convenience. CR doesn’t have enough survey data to rate owner satisfaction and predicted reliability for Dyson.
