It provides 10,000 Pa suction, a VibraRise 3.0 mopping system with dual lifting pads to avoid wetting carpets, and a FlexiArm side brush for edge cleaning. Intelligent navigation uses PreciSense LiDAR and a front camera for Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance, enabling pet care features like targeted cleaning, monitoring, and video calls via the app. See additional info

In our cleaning tests, the basic Eufy RoboVac 11S Max outperformed even robots with fancy navigation, sucking up more debris than most, including along baseboards and close to walls. Its low height allows it to effortlessly glide under furniture to pick up dust bunnies and missed kitty treats.

Most smart robot vacuums can map-out your home using sensors, so they can remember any obstacles, such as the stairs, and let you identify specific rooms/multiple floors.

When we have completed our evaluations of a vacuum, we log and track the results. This structured approach enables us to compare the performance of each vacuum against others we have tested within the same category.

The Roborock Q7 M5 is a high-performance robot vacuum and mop combo featuring 10,000 Pa of HyperForce suction for deep cleaning across carpets, tile, and hard floors. Designed with a dual anti-tangle system, including a JawScrapers Comb main brush and tangle-free side brush, it’s particularly well-suited for homes with pets. It offers simultaneous vacuuming and mopping with an electronically controlled water tank that allows you to customize water flow based on floor type—low for delicate wood, high for stubborn kitchen grime.

It comes in a shocking shade of blue you’ll either love or hate – we think it looks great, especially the sci-fi, 360-degree “eye” that sits atop the robot body.

"My wife wanted a robot vacuum but i wasn’t going to pay the high price for a good one and i wont buy a cheap one"

Voice commands can then send the robot vacuum to wherever it’s needed. The S8 MaxV Ultra’s obstacle-recognition system generally does a good job at avoiding obstacles like chairs and shoes, but it occasionally needs a little intervention.

We also compare each vacuum’s performance to the average of all robot vacuums we’ve tested, using Vacuum Wars’ scoring methodology, to give you context on how each stands out. Let’s dive into the top robot vacuums of 2025 and see what makes each a winner.

Lidar navigation powers some competent obstacle avoidance. During our tests, the RV30 could navigate without bumping mindlessly into furniture, building a detailed map of your floorplan as it goes, to help it clean more efficiently on future runs.

Finally. A robot vacuum you can rely on to get the job done. The Roomba j7 + robot vacuum packs 10x the power-lifting suction and comes with unique intelligence to avoid cords and pet waste.

Thankfully, many manufacturers make robot vacuums that are suited for cleaning up after pets. Models like the iLife V3s Pro and the Roomba S9, scored the best in our robot vacuum lab tests, picking up nearly all pet hair on both hardwood and carpeting, and making our list of the best robot vacuums for pet hair.

The RX3 is supposedly compatible with Alexa, but it leaves much to be desired, and Amazon users in Germany, where the “Saugroboter” has been available for over two years, are livid. (We learned, by calling customer service, that Miele doesn’t even provide a list with suitable voice commands.) In our tests, it responded to only two commands—start and stop—despite numerous attempts to get it to vacuum specific rooms. (It did somewhat better with Google Home.) One would expect a $900 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners vacuum cleaner to be closer to perfection.
