Robot Vacuums & Mops

Keeping a house clean can be both difficult and tedious, so consider subcontracting some of your floor-care needs to a robot cleaner. Robot floor cleaners are available with a variety of features representing a wide range of prices. Many robots are designed to clean a specific type of floor: a robot mop primarily cleans hard linoleum, tile or wood floors while a robot vacuum cleaner usually works on all types of floors. Some brands offer multifunctional models that combine the benefits of a robot vacuum and mop. Robot vacuums typically include a floor cleaner brush with bristles or plastic blades, along with suction to vacuum both carpets and hard floors. You may pay a premium for an automatic vacuum cleaner with a sophisticated navigation system, multiple-stage cleaning systems and automatic docking and recharging functions.

Start your search for the best robot vacuum for your needs by evaluating the types of floors you want to clean and determining how much you want to spend. Other automatic vacuum features to consider include room-by-room navigation, remote control, adjustable suction, edge cleaning and stair cleaning. Some models feature protective bumpers, washable filters and HEPA filters to trap small particles. Make sure you take note of any robot cleaner accessories you may need, like filter or pad replacements, or additional brushes to handle different cleaning tasks.

Pet owners know that their fur babies can create messes all over the house, so finding the best robot vacuum for pet hair is a high priority. Pet owners should consider a multistage robot cleaner with a high-quality filter. A pet-hair friendly robot vacuum should be able to clean high-pile carpet and maneuver flush to walls and into corners.

A programmable robot vacuum or mop can be set to clean when you're away from the house, so you can return home to spotless floors. App-controlled models can be started remotely with your smartphone or tablet. If you have an indoor security camera connected to your home network, you can keep track of your robot vacuum's progress. Or you can relax at home and watch the machine do its work. If you own a robot vacuum that integrates with your smart speaker, you can tell the machine what to do in real time.
