Robots aren't quite as adept at picking up debris like screws made of metal or pieces of pasta. They are however amazing at cleaning pet hair, dust, and food particles. The best models feature smart navigation technology and a feature to avoid objects that allow them to maneuver around cords, toys and other obstacles in the household.
1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO
The iRobot Roomba i3+ is an excellent robot vacuum with a number smart features to make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the most convenient features we've encountered in an iRobot, and it works well on both hard floors and carpets. It's also simple to set up and use with the app that guides you step-by-step through the process. Its ability to resume where it left off in our tests is another impressive feature. It could do this for 77 minutes in one cleaning, and then the battery died.
Unlike some of the other robovacs we've evaluated, the i3+ EVO comes with a self vacuum-emptying bin that dumps debris into an external dirt compartment on the base of its charging when it's full. The i3+ EVO can be prevented from overfilling with a self-emptying bin. However it still needs to be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L which is enough to last through four to five cleaning sessions.
The i3+ EVO, just like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It also lets you navigate in neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only store one map, while the i7 can store multiple. The i7 also has the ability to make use of its map to create no-go zones as well as virtual barriers, however the i3+ EVO is not able to do this.

It's also a bit less gentle on furniture, despite being surprisingly quiet. It was a bit rough on furniture as it forced chairs away. It also made some collisions against the sides of the bed.

It also does well on carpets and scores an excellent score in our tests on navigation. The only issue is that it's a little more raucous than the other models we test, and it doesn't fare similarly in our user satisfaction and predicted reliability tests.
The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust container of 770ml. This means you won't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute running time is also generous when contrasted with other 2-in-1 robots that we tested. When the battery is running low, it returns automatically to its dock, where it recharges and resumes cleaning where it began. You can manage the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
This is among the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. This along with other advancements has helped it perform exceptionally well in our tests for vacuuming and mopping test. You can plan cleaning schedules, create no-go zones, and view the battery's status as well as other things. The app is simple to use, but it doesn't support Apple HomeKit which is slated to be added by 2025. Apple updated its website's footnote in November of this year to reflect that this feature has been delayed until 2025. Some other robots won't work with HomeKit however, a lot of them work with Siri Shortcuts.
