Description:
Your guide to the top robot vacuums (and mops) for hassle-free cleaning, as recommended by experienced reviewers.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Investing in one of the best robot vacuums can revolutionize your cleaning routine. They're perfect for taking care of regular vacuuming (and increasingly, mopping too) with next-to-no effort from you, and you can set them to run when you're out of the house, for minimal disruption.

The market ranges from ultra-simple to extremely capable, with price tags to match, so it's important to pick the right one for your needs. I'm here to help with that. TechRadar's testers have been reviewing robot vacuums since 2015. We've tested 94 robot vacuums in total, including 17 new models so far this year. I've used our in-depth reviews to compare different models and put together this ranking.

Right now, the best robot vacuum on the market is the Roborock Qrevo Curv (#1). On test, this robot vacuum delivered superb suctions and excellent mopping, as well as being ultra-reliable and easy to use. If you're on a tighter budget, consider the simpler but still very capable Roborock Q7 M5 (#3). Alternatively, read on for a range of options for different needs and budgets. And if you want to supplement your robovac with a manual model for stairs and deep cleans, head to my guide to the best cordless vacuum cleaners .

Roborock Qrevo Curv

The best robot vacuum for most people Max suction: 18,500Pa | Robot height: 4in / 10.3cm | Mop type: Dual spinning discs | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 2.7L | Max threshold clearance: 1.6in / 4cm Superb suction and great mopping Extremely reliable Excellent does-it-all station On the taller side Overkill for some needs Buy it if: You want a truly autonomous robovac: This premium robot vacuum can be relied upon to take care of itself.

You have tall thresholds: The Curv is great at scaling tall steps, and on test it very rarely got stuck. Don't buy it if: You're on a budget: There
are cheaper bots that'll do a good enough job for many people's needs.

You've got lots of low furniture: The raised puck makes this a taller option in Roborock's range.

The best robot vacuum for most people is the Roborock Qrevo Curv. This hybrid robot vacuum-and-mop offers outstanding vacuuming, soaring through all our suction tests and proving more than a match for our reviewer's pet hair-covered carpets. Navigation is excellent and the Qrevo Curv can also be relied upon to identify and avoid obstacles as required, meaning you can
leave it to do its own thing without having to worry about it getting stuck
or trying to suction up something it shouldn't. On test we also found it was great at hoisting itself over tall thresholds.

The mopping is a cut above average, and the space-age looking curvy dock
takes care of many maintenance tasks, including refilling the bot's onboard tank and washing and drying its mop pads. (You will need to supplement this with the occasional deeper clean, but that's unavoidable.)

An easy-to-use app offers you plenty of precise control, should you want it. Plus, you can use it for advanced functions such as a Pet Patrol mode, where you can ask the bot to find your furry friends while you're out, and even let you talk to them via the onboard mic and speaker.

That level of smarts means a high price tag, but because this bot has been succeeded by newer, even fancier models, deals are increasingly common these days. It's still a bit of an investment, but well worth it if you can afford it. If you're looking for a truly autonomous cleaning solution, the Roborock Qrevo Curv will deliver.

Another excellent robot vacuum Max suction: 8,000Pa | Robot height: 4.5in / 11.4cm | Mop type: Dual spinning discs | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size:
2.5L | Max threshold clearance: Not stated Great suction, impressive mopping Strong mapping and navigation Intuitive, useful app Can get stuck on tall thresholds Need to add detergent manually Buy it if: The Qrevo Curv is a bit too expensive: It's not quite as feature-rich as the Curv (#1), but this bot is still great and with a slightly more affordable price tag.

You want a strong all-rounder: The X10 Pro Omni is a very capable cleaner, offering equally strong vacuuming and mopping functions. Don't buy it if:
You can stretch to the Qrevo Curv (#1): The Curv is all-round a better robot vacuum, so if you can afford it, it's worth the investment.

You need something cheaper: Want something smaller and more budget-friendly? Check out the Roborock Q7 M5 (#3).

Eufy X10 Pro Omni is another strong all-rounder, and the runner up in my best robot vacuum roundup. This self-empty robot vacuum and mop checks pretty much all our boxes. The suction power is strong, pulling all kinds of debris,
fluff and hair and fluff out of our tester's carpet (although it did flick larger debris about rather than sucking it up a problem with almost all robovacs). It's relatively quiet in all but it's very highest vacuum setting, too.

With some 2-in-1 robovacs, the mopping is a bit of an afterthought, but the Eufy X10 Pro Omni has rotating pads that press down for a more thorough clean on hard floors. On test, it had no trouble at all cleaning a dried-on sugary drink and sticky sauce, automatically choosing the right amount of water for the job. (If you want even more impressive mopping, check out the Eureka J20 at #8, which has a roller mop that supplies continuous fresh water, and siphons off the dirty stuff as it cleans.)

The app is easy to use and functions well. Our reviewer was also very impressed with the mapping the X10 accurately mapped their apartment on its first exploratory outing as well as the navigation and obstacle avoidance. However, they did note that the Eufy X10 Pro Omni could occasionally get
stuck trying to get over high room thresholds.

The dock station is a little on the larger side, but looks pretty stylish,
and houses the water tanks and extra dustbin that allow this robovac to self-empty and (in the case of water) refill, minimizing the need for
hands-on time. Overall, a capable cleaner that'll suit most people's needs.

Alternatives
There are no other X10 models in the Eufy range, so you can't choose, for example, a version without mopping or with a more basic dock. There is a more advanced option: the Eufy Omni S1 Pro which adds improved obstacle avoidance, automatic detergent dispensing, and swaps the spinning mop pads for a roller that's fed by a constant supply of fresh water. It's significantly more expensive, though.

Q7 M5

The best budget robot vacuum Max suction: 10,000Pa | Robot height: 3.9in / 9.9cm | Mop type: D-shaped | Self-empty: No | Dock dustbin: None | Max threshold clearance: Not stated Reliable performance Low cost, regular deals Compact dock Mopping quite wet No auto-empty of dust Hair wraps around roller Buy it if: You're on a budget: This bot comes in at a low price, and offers very strong value for money.

You have a smaller home: The compact, charge-only dock is perfect if you're short on space or aren't dealing with tons of dust. Don't buy it if: You
have pets: The small onboard bin will fill up quickly if you have pets luckily, there's an Q7 M5+ version that comes with an auto-empty dock.

Your priority is mopping: The mopping is decent here, but there are alternatives with more capable and low-effort mop setups if that's your priority.

If you don't have tons of cash to splash and are happy with something relatively simple, the Roborock Q7 M5 is the best budget robot vacuum I've tested. For a very affordable price (with further discounts cropping up regularly) it delivers capable cleaning including the kind of suction specs I'd expect to see on a much pricier bot.

It performed well in my vacuuming tests, sucking up debris large and small, and tackling pet hair with enthusiasm too. Its mapping and navigation are accurate and it meticulously trundled over the entire floor space. However,
it wasn't amazing at cleaning right up to the edges of rooms fancier
robovacs have extending side brushes for this, whereas the Q7 M5's is fixed.

The mop setup is very acceptable, if a little on the wet side. I was pleasantly surprised with how effectively it cleared a dried ketchup smear in my tests. You can switch the mopping on and off without having to remove the whole mop pad (as is the case on some budget robovacs), but do note that the Q7 M5 can't lift its mop when traversing carpet.

Overall the build quality felt very robust. I especially liked the generously sized dust cup and water tank, and the big, bouncy wheels that help it tackle uneven flooring and taller room thresholds. I tested the regular Q7 M5, which has a compact, charge-only dock that's ideal if you have a smaller home with no space for a bulky dock.

However, those dealing with higher levels of dust or pet hair should consider the Q7 M5+, which comes with an auto-empty dock, or even the Q7 M5 Max+,
which can auto-empty dust and refill the water tank. Naturally, each is a little pricier than the last, but they're all affordable and strong value for money.

Alternatives
There are a few solid options in the budget price bracket. The Dreame D9 Max Gen 2 is similarly priced and offers equally solid performance, although the water tank is smaller and the mop setup slightly more fiddly. Another excellent budget robot vacuum for UK shoppers is the Xiaomi X20+ (#9).

The best robot vacuum for pet hair Max suction: 11,000Pa | Robot height:
4.1in / 10.4cm | Mop type: Dual spinning discs | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 3.2L | Max threshold clearance: 0.9in / 2.2cm Excellent at picking up hair Great suction + strong mopping Larger dock dustbin Bulky dock Buy it if:
You have pets: This bot tackled the hair in our reviewer's pet-filled home incredibly well and better than any other robovac they'd tested.

You have lots of carpet: There's plenty of suction to pull dust from fibers, and this bot will raise or drop off its mop pads so you avoid damp carpets. Don't buy it if: You just need something simple: There are simpler options that cost less if you don't need all those features.

You're short on space: The dock is pretty massive, and the styling won't be to everyone's taste.

If you have shedding pets, especially combined with a decent amount of
carpet, the Dreame L40 Ultra will be the best robot vacuum for you. This bot was put through its paces in a home filled with furry, four-legged friends, and really rose to the challenge. The impressive suction pulled huge volumes of hair from carpet, and handled hard floors extremely well too. We had no issues with the hair clogging the self-empty mechanism, and a larger-than-usual dock dustbin means you won't need to replace the dust bags too frequently.

The mopping is also a cut above average. On test, we found the rotating pads very effective great news if you're regularly dealing with muddy pawprints. The robot will leave its mop pads in its dock when they're not needed, or raise them when moving off hard floor to help you avoid damp carpets, too.

The does-it-all dock will take care of emptying the bot's dustbin, refilling its water tank, dispensing cleaning fluid, and cleaning and drying its mop pads, meaning minimal hands-on time from you. Operating this robovac is nice and straightforward too. My tester found the app easy to use, with useful customization options. Mapping is fast and accurate, and object avoidance solid, too.

This isn't a cheap bot, but it regularly attracts hefty discounts now that Dreame has brought out fancier, newer models. If you want to see how it compares to other pet-friendly options, head to our general roundup of the best robot vacuums for pet hair.

4.5/5 The best small robot vacuum Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Future) Image 2 of 3 (Image credit: Future) Image 3 of 3 (Image credit: Future) 5. SwitchBot K10+ Pro

The best small robot vacuum Max suction: 3,000Pa | Robot height: 3.62in / 9.2cm | Mop type: Wet-wipe | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 4L | Max threshold clearance: Not stated Compact bot can get into small spaces Dock also very compact Large dock dustbag Wet-wipe mop very poor Occasionally clumsy navigation Paying extra for small size Buy it if: You don't have much space: The SwitchBot is very tiny, and can get into tight spaces that others can't. The dock is also compact for a self-empty option.

You want a self-empty bot: The dock has a large dust bag, and self-empties if you don't need that, charge-only docks are much smaller. Don't buy it if: You want something that mops well: The mopping here is just dragging a wet wipe across the floor, and not worth bothering with.

You have space for a bigger robovac: You're paying a premium for the size here there are bigger, better-performing bots in this bracket.

If you're looking specifically for a small robot vacuum, our top pick is the SwitchBot K10+ Pro. The bot itself is very compact, measuring 9.8in / 24.8cm in diameter and 3.6in / 9.2cm in height. That pint-sized design packs in some impressive tech, including intelligent room-mapping and some of the speediest navigation our tester had ever seen. The benefit of the dinky size is that this bot can reach places bigger bots can't, and on test we found it
navigated confidently around furniture legs and into tight spaces.

The dock is also very compact for a self-empty model. The interior space is mostly given over to a larger-than-normal dust bag, which means you won't be bothered by the tiny onboard bin. (It's worth highlighting that if you don't need self-emptying, charge-only docks are considerably smaller again.)

There are some downsides, though. The suction power is low for the price bracket in fact, generally, you're paying a premium for the small size here. The mopping is also so basic as to be not really worth bothering with; the robovac just drags a wet wipe across your floor. On test it also sometimes struggled to clear thresholds of over 2cm.

If your priority is size, though, this is a solid choice. Our reviewer felt
it would be a great choice as an 'upstairs' robot vacuum, away from the tougher challenges of kitchens and living rooms.

Alternatives
If you just want something that's shallow in profile for getting beneath furniture, look for a robovac without a raised central puck. This puck is generally used for robot vacuum navigation , but there are options that use different approaches including all Roomba models, and some of Roborock's newest bots like the Qrevo Slim and Roborock Saros 10R (both of which we rate very highly).

3.5/5 The best premium robot vacuum Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Future) Image 2 of 3 (Image credit: Future) Image 3 of 3 (Image credit: Future) 6. Dreame X50 Ultra Complete

The best premium robot vacuum Max suction: 20,000Pa | Robot height: 3.5in / 8.9cm | Mop type: Dual spinning discs | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 3.2L | Max threshold clearance: 2.4in / 6cm Packed with cool features Very capable cleaner Rigorous edge cleaning Object avoidance patchy Battery drains quickly Investment pricing Buy it if: You're a gadget nerd: This bot is packed with hi-tech features, including little legs and a retractible navigation puck.

You have tall room thresholds: The X50 can hoist itself over thresholds up
to 2.4in / 6cm in height. Don't buy it if: You're on a budget: This is one
of the most expensive robovacs on the market, and it's new enough that discounts are rare.

You don't need the special features: There are plenty of robovacs that are still extremely impressive but lack the fancy features of the X50.

If you're a fan of a hi-tech gadget (or you just want something that's excellent at cleaning and reach places other robots can't) the check out the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete. This bot has a range of cool features, including tiny legs that raise it up to propel it over tall thresholds, and a
navigation puck that can retract until it's flush to the robot's top surface. That means it can reach rooms that might have been off-limits to other bots, and clean in low-height spaces like under the sofa.

A handful of other premium robot vacuums offer similar features, but this Dreame bot offers perhaps the most complete package on the market right now, and it's bolstered by excellent cleaning performance too. On test, it offered thorough vacuuming and an superb mopping, and our tester was especially impressed with how well it cleaned the edges of rooms (an extending side
brush and mop pad are to thank for this).

The dock is the does-it-all type that does everything from emptying dust to refilling the water tanks, as well as cleaning the mop pads with hot water. There's even UV light treatment to keep everything extra-hygienic.

All that tech comes at a price, and this bot will be out of many people's budgets. It's also relatively new to the market, having gone on sale in
spring 2025; that means discounts are rare, but I expect they will start to crop up before too long.

Alternatives
If you're in the mood for some flashy, cutting-edge tech, you'll also want to check out the Roborock Saros Z70 . It doesn't have feet, but it does have a robotic arm that'll clear away your socks for you.

Alternatively, if it's the retracting puck tech that's caught your eye, check out the Roborock Saros 10 (#7), which has the same thing. In Dreame's own range, the L40 Ultra (#4) is a very impressive performer, although it lacks the bells and whistles of the X50.

The best robot vacuum for carpet Max suction: 22,000Pa | Robot height: 3.1in
/ 8cm | Mop type: D-shaped | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 2.5L | Max threshold clearance: 1.6in / 4cm Excellent cleaning on carpet Tangle-free roller Retractible puck to lower profile Pricier option Rotating mop pads scrub better Buy it if: You have a lot of carpet: This bot has the highest suction of any model here, and it proved excellent at pulling dust from
carpet fibers.

You want a stylish dock: Okay, it's not the most important thing, but the Saros 10 has the best looking dock I've seen. Don't buy it if: Your priority is mopping: The D-shaped mop here is very good, but the rotating disc style pads tend to offer more of a scrub.

You have especially tall room thresholds: While the Saros 10 can clear step-ups of up to 4cm, but the Dreame X50 (#6) can manage 6cm thanks to its tiny stilts.

The Roborock Saros 10 is the best robot vacuum for cleaning lots of carpet, thanks to incredible suction specs and a well-designed roller to gently agitate the fibers (without getting tangled with hair). It also offers strong mopping, and has the ability to raise or drop off mop pads in the dock when they're not needed, so your carpets won't get damp.

It's one of two robot vacuums in this guide (alongside the Dreame at #6) to have a LiDAR puck that can retract to clean in limited-height spaces. That sounds like a minor thing, but if it's the difference between the bot being able to get into the dusty depths beneath your sofa, and just skirting around its perimeter, it's well worth it. It can also make its way over tall room thresholds, although not quite as tall as the ones the Dreame can.

This bot sailed through my vacuuming tests and also had no trouble pulling large volumes of dog hair from carpeted floors and then emptying it into the dock without causing a jam. In fact, it's a strong recommendation for pet-owners in general.

Elsewhere the mopping is solid, and an especially good choice if you have floors that are sensitive to moisture but still need an occasional damp
clean, because you have fine control over water levels and the lowest
settings are really very light. An extra mini side mop helps with cleaning right up to the edges of rooms. However, if you're looking for a deeper
scrub, I'd seek out a bot with dual rotating mop pads rather than the fixed, D-shaped one found here.

As well as looking extremely stylish when compared to the wider market, the dock here is comprehensive and will take care of a lot of maintenance tasks for you. It can charge the bot in double-quick time, as well as emptying
dust, dispensing detergent, washing the mops with hot water, and drying them with warm air.

Price-wise the Saros 10 is premium, but worth it for the quality, features
and performance. As newer Roborocks come out (as they will before long; this brand has a very speedy launch rate), I expect to see strong discounts, too.

Alternatives
This bot has a sister model: the Roborock Saros 10R . It's similar and priced the same, but with a few key differences mainly that the 10R doesn't have a puck at all (it uses a different navigation tech that means it's
unnecessary). See exactly how the two compare in our Roborock Saros 10 vs 10R face-off .

The best robot vacuum for hard floors Max suction: 8,000Pa | Robot height: 4.1in / 10.5cm | Mop type: Roller | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 3L | Max threshold clearance: 0.9in / 2.2cm Hygienic roller mop system Dock takes care of mop maintenance Effective vacuuming Base station large Investment pricing Short battery life Buy it if: Your priority is mopping: The star of the show here is the innovative and effective roller mop, which continuously siphons dirty water off the mop pad and adds fresh water as it cleans.

You want a hands-off option: The dock takes care of a lot of mop
maintenance, including emptying and refilling tanks, and cleaning the mop pads. Don't buy it if: You don't need the very best mopping: The advanced mopping and comprehensive dock bump up the price here, and other robovacs
will do a good enough mopping job for most people (the Eufy X10 at #1 has a great mop, for example).

You're short on space: The dock can do a lot of things, but it's pretty
bulky as a result.

The Eureka J20 is the best robot vacuum for hard floors, thanks to a game-changing new 'RollRenew' mop style. With most robovacs, mopping is a bit of an afterthought, but that's not the case here. The mop pad is mounted onto a roller (think: tank track), and as it rotates around the dirty liquid is siphoned off and clean water is sprayed on. That helps ensure a hygienic and effective mopping session the mop won't simply spread messes around further as it tries to clean them.

On test, we found it did a fantastic job of clearing spillages. We were also impressed with the comprehensive docking station, which helps ease the burden of the maintenance tasks involved with mopping robot vacuums. It'll drain the dirty water tank, refill the clean one, and wash and dry the mop pads. Elsewhere, vacuuming is very good, especially on higher suction levels, and the mapping and obstacle avoidance reliable too.

On the down-side, the battery life is rather short on higher powered modes (which will be required for most people's needs). That might not be an issue if you're cleaning on one floor as the bot will just return to its dock to recharge as required, but it becomes more annoying if you're using it on multiple floors.

Price-wise, it's not cheap although we couldn't fault the build quality or engineering, and these kinds of do-it-all docks do always come at a price.
But if you have lots of hard floors and mopping is your priority, it's worth the investment.

Alternatives

Previously in this slot we had the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni , which offers hot water mopping that's great at tackling greasy spillages. There are some compromises you'll need to make with this model, but it's often on sale and significantly cheaper than this Eureka model. Another alternative to consider is the Eufy Omni S1 Pro , which we found absolutely excellent for mopping.

Another brilliant budget robot vacuum for UK shoppers Max suction: 6,000Pa | Robot height: 3.8in / 9.7cm | Mop type: Dual spinning discs | Self-empty: Yes | Dock bin size: 2.5L | Max threshold clearance: Not stated Low price; great value Self-empty and mop functions Reliable navigation Big, ugly dock Pricier options more advanced Buy it if: You're on a budget: The X20+ sits in the budget price bracket, and delivers an awful lot for that very affordable price.

You have hard floor to mop: With dual spinning mop pads and a dock that can clean and dry them, this bot shines when it comes to hard floors. Don't buy
it if: You're short on space: The dock is large and unattractive, so you'll want somewhere out of the way to store it.

You live in the US: The X20+ can be found in the US, but it's more
expensive. Check out the Roborock at #3 instead.

Bargain-hunting shoppers in the UK should seek out the Xiaomi X20+. As well
as solid suction specs and excellent cleaning powers, you're getting a whole raft of features that you just never see at this budget price point.

For starters, there are dual spinning mop pads rather than the single, fixed pad that's more common on cheaper robovacs. This style of mop tends to be far more effective at agitating dirt, and we were impressed with this bot's mopping powers in our testing. The pads will also automatically lift when
they reach carpet, too (although they fail to identify some of our tester's very thin rugs).

On the mopping front, the dock will take care of a lot of the required maintenance for you; refilling the water tank and washing and drying the mop pads. You'll usually need to shell out a lot more for such a comprehensive clean station... although do note that it's large and not so attractive, so you'll want to make sure you have somewhere out-of-the-way to store it.

Some budget robovacs can fall down when it comes to navigation, but not so
the X20+, which found its way around our reviewer's home with ease and confidence.

Alternatives

If you live in the US or don't want a bulky dock, check out the Roborock at #3. This robovac comes with a compact, charge-only dock that can fit for example neatly under a bed. The suction levels are higher than the X20's,
but you'll need to take care of all maintenance yourself. I also rate the Dreame D9 Max Gen 2 in a similar vein.

You also need a manual vacuum: Most people with robovacs also have a manual vacuum. The Ecovacs takes the fuss of that out by providing you with one in the first place.

You love a high-tech gadget: With its own voice assistant, fantastic mapping and (albeit unreliable) foot control, this is one clever robot vacuum. Don't buy it if: Your priority is mopping: The mopping here is very good, but probably not as good as the Eufy at #1 or Eureka at #7.

You're on a budget: The Deebot T30S Combo is one of the more expensive robot vacuums in my guide, and if you're willing to make a few compromises on performance or features then there are plenty more affordable alternatives.

The Ecovacs Deebot T30S Combo is the best all-in-one robot vacuum solution.
It has the highest maximum suction of any robot vacuum in this ranking (11,000Pa matching the maximum we see on any robot vacuum). The specs stood up on testing too; this robovac's vacuuming powers are some of the very best we've come across. Our tester also found it could tackle the edges of rooms remarkably well, and its mopping is excellent too.

Most people with robot vacuums need to supplement them with a manual vacuum even if your robovac is great at corners and edges, it still won't be able to tackle stairs or upholstery. Ecovacs has taken the effort out of that by bundling a mini handheld vacuum in with the T30S Combo (and if you get the Complete version, there's a full stick vacuum thrown in!) for supplementary cleaning. At 3L, the onboard dustbin capacity is larger than usual, meaning
it you'll need to replace the bags less often.

As you'd expect at this price, this robot vacuum not short on features, including its own voice assistant. It can launched via the tap of a foot (although on test this didn't always work reliably), the base station will wash and dry the mop pads, the dust cups of the robovac and the handheld vac will auto-empty when docked, and the mapping is outstanding. The companion
app works extremely well our tester was especially impressed that it automatically partitioned the rooms into their own spaces. In terms of performance, we had almost no issues with this robot vacuum at all if it's
in your budget, it's worth the investment.

Notes

Score

Design

Comes with a supplementary handheld vacuum. Base is a bit wide, but houses both parts, plus accessories.

5/5

Performance

Great at vacuuming, and good at mopping although can sometimes spread wet spillages. Long battery life and fast charging.

4.5/5

App

Easy to use with plenty of fine-tuning options. Solid mapping and partitioning, too.

5/5

Value

Very premium pricing. Party justified by quality, but will be too much for many.
