Sweeping and mopping my floors are activities I really do not enjoy, but I have to keep the floors clean. Since equipping my house with a little robot vacuum, my life has been so much easier.
Robot vacuums are the latest trend in automated cleaning. The once-off purchase requires no extra payments to continue effortlessly cleaning your floors, day and night. Some of the vacuums even move to the charger themselves, making maintenance a breeze. If you’re looking to experience the convenience yourself, then consider the robot vacuums you see below.
AIRROBO Robot Vacuum Cleaner
“This vacuum cleaner greatly exceeds my expectation. The vacuum is powerful, it can completely clean my daughter’s study room and my office. It works well on hardwood, rugs, carpet, and even my daughter’s play mat. It’s also user friendly on app and Alexa control as advertised. Overall, the performance is decent for a vacuum cleaner < $200.” — Amazon Customer
eufy RoboVac 11S
“The Eufy comes in at half the cost of the 4-year-old Roomba that we previously used and out of the box, after a full night’s charge, it worked flawlessly. The remote is easy to use and after a 2-minute look-over of the manual, the thing just WORKS. Roomba would basically never make it back on the charger, it would push it all over our kitchen but never actually park itself correctly. The Eufy did it on the first attempt and has done it daily (unless it gets stuck somewhere) ever since.”
“The Eufy is much slimmer than the Roomba so it is able to navigate some areas that were previously left untouched. The dust bin is always full or near full when we get home and check it, so it definitely is doing its job trying to keep up with our two large dogs and their fur.” — Garett
Thamtu G11 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
“This guy is powerful and effective. Makes logical patterns, not random like other robo vacs. Got a great deal with $50 off coupon so I got it for $119.99 and figured if I ever wanted one, this was the time. Would buy it again and highly recommend this vacuum.” — Amazon Customer
OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
“Really happy I went with this robot after all was said and done.! I used to have a shark robot vacuum very similar except it didn’t have a phone app and it couldn’t talk to Alexa. The shark also broke after 5 uses and the brush bearing kept filling with dog hair. I have none of those issues with this vacuum. I don’t mind it’s not name brand because it outperforms the name brand shark in every way. You’ll be happy!” — Shay
Shark IQ Robot Vacuum
“I now have three of these as I have a very large home. I did not want to overwork “the girls”. I have named them all and they manage to keep the floors well dusted for us. I am not young (80) and it is not the easiest for me to clean this home. Now if they could only do the dusting of furniture and also scrub the bathrooms it would be heavenly.” —Coyote Woman
ILIFE V3s Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner
“We got this on prime day so it’s still pretty new. It does a good job getting up pet hair and dirt/crumbs on our hard floors. Haven’t tried it on carpet yet. It goes for a LONG time before needing to recharge. The cats like to chase it, punch it, bat at the bristles, and ride it. It’s pretty funny! It’s still too new to give it 5 stars yet, so I’ll update after we’ve had it for awhile.”
“Update: Had it for months and we still love it!” — Mrs. P
Roborock S6 Pure Robot Vacuum
“This robot vacuum is awesome! We bought this as a present for the wife (I know… I know… but she insisted) and she gets giddy every time this thing runs. We have two dogs and two little kids. As a result, she was vacuuming nearly every day which was taking a lot of time and hard to juggle with two little ones. This little vacuum runs every other night in the house now, only requiring a 30-second emptying of the collection bin the next day. It is quite enough to run while the kids are asleep upstairs and do a great job! It goes places our regular vacuum would never fit…. places that made us wince the first time it did for fear of what it might find. We make sure and pick up the items on the floors so they don’t get hung up. We also mainly have non-carpeted floors and thin rugs so we can’t speak to how it does with thicker carpet. However, it seems to handle itself very well.”
“We do have several transitions between floating floors and linoleum floors and it has zero issues there. It has only got stuck twice (a chord once and it managed to drive itself up on a dog bed the other time before its front wheel couldn’t manage to navigate off) and I would say the situations were understandable. The phone app is great, letting you partition out rooms and easily set no-go zones and schedules. I would highly recommend this to anyone! For the price of a Dyson, you can have a vacuum that does the job for you!” — Ashley
iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum
“I love, love, love this Roomba. The app is great I love that you can schedule it to clean when you want to clean. The bin is a tad small and I use this only on our upstairs floor. Sometimes it kind of throws up a bit of the lint that it collected when it’s too full and just after cleaning 1 bedroom. However, all in all it is a great little device that has made my life so much easier.” — Amazon Customer
GTTVO Robot Vacuum and Mop
“This robot vacuum cleaner is great! It can both sweep and mop. When it’s finish cleaning, you can just dump the dust out. Also, this robot vacuum cleaner uses only a bit of water and cleans very well. It can clean spots you usually can’t reach. For example, it can clean underneath the bed. It is cheaper than most robot vacuum cleaner and have the same functions.” — Amazon Customer
Uoni V980Plus Robot Vacuum
“I have been using this product for a week now and absolutely love it. I have owned two models of iRobot and a recent model from Chinese brand Mi but this Uoni is the best of all.
It is very easy to set up with your smart phone and it started cleaning 5 min after I opened the box. It is quiet while cleaning and my 9 month old girl immediately enjoyed crawling with her new friend in the room. She was scared of my other models due to extreme noise.”
“The Robot is very efficient and it took only half an hour to build the map of my 3 bedroom apartment. The features on the app are well designed and they are perfect for a deep cleaning when everyone is out of home. The cleaning of the Robot itself is easy and pain free.” — Xinxn
