The Best Robot Vacuums

A full guide is coming soon.

These are our latest updated rankings:

Budget Robot Vacuums

The best value robot vacuums. Mopping is not required, and neither is small obstacle detection.

Roborock Q5 Max+

The Q5 Max+ is a terrific all-around performer. It’s one of few options at its price that offers above average pickup ability and above average navigation. Most similarly priced competitors do not navigate as well.

The Q5 Max+ vacuums and navigates just about as well as the best midrange robot we’ve tested, the Qrevo S. It’s just missing extra features – like mopping (with automatic mop cleaning, etc.) and small obstacle detection.

So you can see the Q5 Max+ as a less feature-rich but more affordable version of the Qrevo S.

Eufy L60 SES

The L60 has half the battery capacity of the Q5 Max, is more prone to hair tangling, and doesn’t navigate quite as well.

Otherwise, it’s an excellent robot vacuum for the price, and a solid alternative to the Q5 Max.

Midrange Robot Vacuums

At this price point, mopping is required and so is mopping automation (self-cleaning and drying) and small obstacle detection.

Roborock Qrevo S

Compared to the Q5 Max, the Qrevo S adds mopping and mopping automation features (mop washing and drying). It also adds small obstacle detection. This is another excellent all-around performer that vacuums, mops, and navigates better than most competitors. It’s the best midrange robot vacuum we’ve tested so far.

Dreame L10S Ultra

The L10S Ultra performed even better than the Qrevo S in certain vacuum and mopping tests, but it doesn’t navigate nearly as well, so we put it in second place in the category.

Premium Robot Vacuums

This price point requires extensive automation features, and for them to be executed at a very high level.

Qrevo Master

Compared to the Qrevo S, the Master adds an extendable mop (for mopping edges better), an extendable side brush (for vacuuming corners better), hot water mop washing, a self-cleaning docking station, and much better small obstacle detection.

Overall, the Qrevo Master provides better performance and more useful features than any other robot we’ve tested. This makes it the best premium robot vacuum we’ve tested.

Dyson 360 Vis Nav

We usually require that our premium picks offer extensive automation features, and the 360 Vis Nav does not (it doesn’t even auto-empty its dust bin), but it does offer exceptional vacuum performance. According to our tests, it provides the same amount of raw power and deep cleaning performance as a full-size cordless vacuum. This makes it, by far, the most powerful robot vacuum we’ve ever tested. It's for this reason that it earns its spot as the second pick in the category, despite its lack of automatic features.
