Robot vacuums make use of navigational tools such as sensors, lasers and cameras to map out your space and effectively clean while keeping clear of obstacles. Some robot vacuums are able to mop and self-empty the dustbins!
Most connect to apps or digital voice assistants for hands-free cleaning. Some models have features such as automatic docks and boundary strips that can help you reduce your work.
- Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner does not fail to impress. It comes with more advanced features than the previous models, but the real selling point is its ability to effectively clean your home for you. It can identify floor types and stains as well as no-go areas. It does this by looking at its surroundings using a camera and a smart map. This allows it to decide what to do at any given moment, so you don't need to press buttons repeatedly or adjusting multiple modes.
Like all Roborock vacuums, it can also mop. This is a wonderful addition to the range since it makes this robovac more useful than before. The mop head can also be changed into scrub mode to remove more difficult dirt. Another bonus feature is that the robovac can reach small thresholds for steps thanks to its front-mounted sensor and a rotating FlexiArm.
The app is simple to use and lets you modify settings. You can also create rooms for the robot to vacuum. Rocky is its voice assistant, is a good fit and can clearly understand commands. It can recite a list of specific commands or ask it to end an ongoing task. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and Matter-certified to work with Apple HomeKit.
The S8 MaxV Ultra packs 5200mAh battery that can run for up to 180 minutes before returning to the dock to recharge. The battery is automatically cleaned and cleaned at the end each run. This cuts down the time to recharge.

- Eufy X10
The Eufy X10 offers a wide array of features at an affordable price. It can do everything you expect a robot vacuum or mop to accomplish, and all at a reasonable cost.
This model does a fantastic job of taking on floor cleaning tasks hands-free, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. Its base station is slightly larger than other models and requires 50cm of room on either side and 150cm in front but for those with the room it's able to provide a completely hands-free clean.
The intelligent navigation technology of the X10 can monitor the layout and design of your home. It stores the information in its internal memory, without ever sending it to the cloud. Combining AI See with iPath laser mapping technology the X10 can efficiently remember room layouts and optimize cleaning routes for efficiency and thoroughness.
The X10's smart object recognition system also works well it allows the robot to easily identify and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and replenish the battery on its own which is a great touch. However, I discovered that the X10 could get stuck on some more thick rug, and then crash loudly over them and occasionally pushing its front brush into them.
It's a great robot vacuum and mop, but it's let down by the confusing app. Eufy Clean's application isn't as user-friendly as the iRobot App that guides you through the process of setting up your robot up and shows you how to use it. It's a great choice for those looking to customize the app to their preferences.
- SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution to home cleaning. It combines a vacuum cleaner with mopping. It features an innovative two-station design structure that allows it to provide water for mopping and also collect dust in the same machine, resulting in complete cleaning automation.
It's outfitted with all the standard sensors found on top-of-the-line robot vacuums, allowing it to create the map of your home in real-time, avoiding obstacles, and recognizing different types of carpets and hard flooring. A front-facing AI camera is also available to help you to navigate around your home and find places that are inaccessible to the majority of robotic vacuums.
This robot is fitted with powerful suction motors capable of taking pet hair dirt, dust and other particles both from hard floors and low pile carpeting. It is also customizable through the app to meet your needs. This includes custom cleaning routines, adjustments for vacuuming and mopping power, and real-time notifications of its condition.
It mops exceptionally well with a RevoRoll roller mop that can create 10N of pressure on any floor and a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself while it moves around your home. This ensures that the mop is clean as it picks up dirt, and prevents it from spreading the mess all over your home.
The battery life isn't as good as some of its competitors. It may need an additional recharge when you have a larger house. Furthermore, it can be loud when it is in use and might not be suitable for use in areas where silence is desired. However, it is an excellent value for its price. The SwitchBot S10 has a modern, sleek design that makes it a standout model in its class.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is a new version of Switchbot's Mini robot vacuum. This latest version is a combination of an innovative Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and a higher suction power up to 3000Pa for better corner coverage.
Utilizing SLAM navigation and a user-friendly application that is easy to use, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor and the rotary brush work together to navigate around furniture. The four-stage cleaning process consolidates, lifts and sweeps debris from floors and carpets. The dust bin will empty itself, so there's no need to empty it often.
You can also mark the areas in the space you don't want the robot to enter like pets or power cords. This is a feature that's found in all robotic vacuums and is particularly useful when you have certain parts of the house that require more attention than others.
You can set the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes to empty its trash bin. This is a major improvement over other robots which need to be returned and manually empty. It can save you a lot of time.
In my tests in my tests, the K10 Plus had a very excellent battery life. It lasted for 110 minutes in one run, which is higher than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.
The K10 Plus is a compact device that can easily be placed under furniture or in small spaces. It is connected to Wi-Fi and supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri shortcuts. It also integrates with IFTTT and Samsung SmartThings. Its app tracks how often you use its accessories, such as the side brushes, filter and dust bag.
