Product Information

If you love the idea of a robot vacuum that can mop and vacuum but don't want to spend a fortune, this hybrid floor cleaner from Eufy is well worth considering. At just under half the price of the Ecovacs Robovacs robe-mops, and often discounted, this is an affordable way to get a good hybrid robot cleaner.

We also found the robot vacuum tended to try and climb up low-lying furniture, while the customization of maps in the app wasn't as robust as we'd have liked. That said, it's still a great performing robot vacuum –although if you can live with slightly lower power, the same firm's cheaper D8 and D9 are very good too.

Another note on battery life: The number you see in the chart below is what we got in testing with the normal mode active. High-power modes often bring that number down. While robot vacuums don't have crevice tools that work well down the side of your sofa or stairs, these machines usually have small brushes on the outside of their shells. The brushes do an excellent job of getting close to baseboards and ensuring that any crumbs or dirt on hard floors don't escape the vacuum's suction. However, as of yet, they can't clean the stairs.

iRobot is one of the most respected names in the robot vacuum market, and the Roomba i3+ EVO is its most affordable model with a self-emptying dustbin. It's hard to overstate the advantages of this feature. Beyond offering greater convenience than their more manual counterparts, self-emptying robot vacuums significantly limit your exposure to dust, a big plus if you suffer from allergies. The i3+ EVO offers 10 times the suction power of the entry-level Roomba 600 series, and in testing did a good job of removing dirt from hard floors and carpet. This model also boasts smart mapping capabilities, so you can send it right to specific rooms by phone or voice for targeted area cleanings. Who It's For

Are Robot Vacuums Really Worth It?

It shouldn't come to that, however, because this iRobot has very effective obstacle detection and avoidance. We found that it vacuumed very well and mopped much better than many combination models, but we did have some problems with dry spillages such as oats: with those, the brush attachment threw them around rather than brushing them. up. The navigation is better than the simpler robot vacuums, such as the Eufy RoboVac 15C, making this a valid alternative if that model isn’t available, but the cleaning ability is roughly on a par.
