(If you want even more impressive mopping, check out the Eureka J20 at #seis, which has a roller mop that supplies continuous fresh water, and siphons off the dirty stuff as it cleans.)

Its sleek design fits under furniture, tackling hard floors, pet hair, and carpets. Schedule cleaning sessions and enjoy a spotless home every day. The water tank and dustbin ensure thorough mopping and vacuuming. Self-charging feature guarantees it’s always ready for action.

The Eufy uses a single rubber / bristle roller brush that isn’t as good as top-of-the-line Roombas and Roborocks.

Spacious homes require vacuums with robust battery life and effective navigation. Models like the MAMNV T7S Combo with its 180-minute runtime, and the Shark AI Ultra with mapping, allow for fewer interruptions and wide coverage. Self-charging ensures they continue seamlessly, even across multiple cleaning cycles.

avoid them, so it's not so much of a tech concern; but those parts of the floor will be missed. Running it during nap time was an easy solution, though, especially since this robot vacuum is pleasantly quiet.

Experience effortless cleaning with the eufy Robot Vacuum 11S MAX. Its super-thin design slips under furniture with ease. Enjoy powerful suction that tackles hard floors and medium-pile carpets.

One thing to be aware of is that this robovac doesn't actually self-empty dust; there's no dock dustbin. Instead, the onboard dustin compresses its contents so it can hold more – Narwal claims up to seven week's worth of debris.

It's realistically far more often than I would drag a manual vac out of the cupboard, so my apartment is cleaner than usual, and my dust allergy symptoms have calmed down too.

opt to remove them and pop them into the washing machine for good measure so they weren't just getting dried with grime on them—if an Automóvel-washing base is important for you, another model, the 2-in-1 Robot with NeverTouch Pro Base offers it (the difference is in the "Pro" part of the name).

An edge-hugging mode makes the robot swing its behind into the baseboards to help mop edges. With its square-ish shape, it got into corners better than most of the round bots. But its 12mm mop pad lift over carpet wasn’t effective, resulting in its pads getting hung up in a few places.

An easy-to-use app offers you plenty of 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.

It's not rare these days to see range-topping models run to four figures, but the rate of meaningful improvement has started to slow, and for many people, the features included in those models are far from essential.

To assess object avoidance, we lay out a charge cable, a sock that's a similar color to the floor, and some fake pet poop, to see if it can reliably spot and avoid them.
