The vacuum will also notify you if there are areas you need to tackle yourself. One thing to factor into your scheduling is that when it’s on boost mode, it requires regular recharging, so although it’s a very quick vacuum, if you want it to tackle a bigger room, it's worth allowing enough time for a recharge. Overall, it’s a sleek addition to the robot vacuum market.
That said, the app lets you easily designate rooms, so assigning the vacuum to mop just the kitchen or the bathroom is straightforward.
That model sits in the premium price bracket, though, so if you're on a tighter budget our top recommendation is the Proscenic Floobot X1, which punches well above its relatively wallet-friendly price tag.
It can adjust its suction to suit the floor type it’s tackling, and testers found it reliable on both carpet and hard flooring, noting that it didn’t spread any dust or debris around. It reached the edges of rooms well too but struggled in corners.
When we first get the robot set up, we'll see how long it takes to create a map of the home, and how accurate that map is. For subsequent runs, we'll keep an eye on how the robot navigates the space; if takes a logical route through the house, if it repeats already-clean areas, and so on.
In our Lab tests: The Dreame H12 Pro is an updated version of a previously tested pick with many of the same capabilities and features. We sent it out to consumer testers Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners who confirmed it was easy and effective to use.
The Narwal Freo X Ultra is the best robot vacuum for carpet. It's a premium product, (and it's not available in the UK), but delivers the best carpet cleaning performance of any robovac we've tested. On test we found that not only did it suck up finer dust and dirt efficiently, it also scooped up larger debris – namely bits of cereal – just as well.
Dirt sensors help the robots detect which areas of your floor to pay more attention to, while the iRobot J7+ and S9+ take pictures of areas they couldn’t tackle, sending them to the app so you can address them when you next clean.

For homes with both carpets and hard flooring, we recommend the Eufy X10 pro omni robot vacuum cleaner. It’s remarkably good value for a self-emptying and self-refilling model, and its mopping action applies pressure to a pair of rotating brush heads to actually scrub the floor, rather than dragging a wet pad across it. The results are fantastic.
It’s slower than a standard vacuum, taking 31 minutes on average to clean a whole room. But testers liked how it notifies you of areas it couldn’t reach — it sends pictures of obstacles through to the app, so you know to tackle them manually later. It also responded reliably to voice control, making it a good all-rounder.
In our Lab tests: Dyson stick vacuums are always among the best in our tests for both excellent performance and incredible features, and this V15 Detect is no exception.
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.
