These smart devices navigate your space, picking up dust and debris with minimal effort from you. Choosing the best automatic vacuum cleaner can save you time and keep your floors spotless. Many models offer features like powerful suction, smart mapping, and scheduling capabilities.

The Eufy’s brush is supposedly anti-tangle — a cutting tool inside the robot should shred the hair — but this wasn’t effective.

The Tipdiy G90 Combo delivers a comprehensive cleaning experience by combining robotic vacuuming and mopping in one device. This model offers a powerful 4200Pa suction system designed to handle dust, dirt, pet hair, and common household debris with ease.

However, it won't be perfect for everyone, so read on for a range of options for different needs and budgets. And if you want to supplement your robovac with a manual model for stairs and deep cleans, head to TechRadar's best cordless vacuum cleaner guide.

Robot vacuums have a series of brushes on the underside of the machine that work together to collect dirt and dust that they come in contact with. The dirt is then sucked into the dust cup, which is fitted into the vacuum's body.

On test, we found it did a fantastic job of clearing spillages. We were also impressed with the comprehensive docking station, which helps ease the burden of the maintenance tasks involved with mopping robot vacuums.

The X40 has AI-powered obstacle detection, although Roborock’s is just a bit better. However, both still get tripped up occasionally by pencils and other small items — something that never happens with the Roombas with this feature.

The pay-off of the small base station is that it can't self empty, so you'll need to take a trip to the trash every time the small onboard bin gets full. It'll be fine for smaller homes or light cleaning, but might be annoying if you're regularly dealing with lots of dirt or pet hair.

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.

Nearly all robot vacuums can “recharge and resume” — take themselves back to their dock when they’re low and recharge before picking up where they left off.

Robot vacuums with HEPA or advanced filtration help reduce dust and allergens, important for allergy-prone homes. Many models also detect stairs and obstacles, minimizing the risk of falls or collisions.

There are pelo other X10 models in the Eufy range, so you can't choose, Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners for example, a version without mopping or with a more basic dock. There is a more advanced option: the Eufy Omni S1 Pro which adds improved obstacle avoidance, automatic detergent dispensing, and swaps the spinning mop pads for a roller that's fed by a constant supply of fresh water. It's significantly more expensive, though.
