We also found this robot vacuum would dock regularly for mop cleaning, which isn't necessarily an issue, but does extend overall cleaning times. It will automatically empty and refill its onboard water tank, and it can clean its own mop pads too.

For $100 more, you can dispense with dealing with the water tanks entirely and buy the Refill & Drainage System model. This lets you plumb the charging base directly into your home’s water supply.

Its sonic mopping system — which vibrates its mop pad 4,000 times a minute — ably simulated scrubbing and wiped out my OJ and ketchup tests, though I did have to set it to deep scrub.

However, the software was still buggy at time of review, and we'd also expect higher suction for the premium price.

The X10 has great object recognition, allowing it to suck up Cheerios and piles of oatmeal while deftly navigating fake dog turds and cables. However, its navigation sometimes got screwy; it would go into a corner and stay there for a while, trying to figure itself out.

【Small Body Design】: With a 28cm diameter, M210P robotic vacuum cleaner can work under or around furniture such as beds, sofas, etc. It not only has a high coverage rate but also an ultra-low failure rate, allowing you to completely clean the room.

The Combo has a redesigned dock that’s very large — to accommodate two water tanks and a dust bag — but it doubles as a table.

The app is very hard to follow, making it tricky to access all of the bot’s features. Mapping was fast, but it didn’t recognize all my rooms on the first go. It did better the second time, although splitting up rooms and naming them in the app was painful.

Overall value: We assess based on how well the product performs in all of the tests, comparing its performance with the price tag and promised features.

The mopping less impressive, but still good enough to be a useful addition (for really good mopping you'll need to stump up a bit more). Other benefits include voice assistant support, and a very neat and compact base station.

So if you just want a capable robot vacuum and are happy to empty it yourself, you'll be able to shop mostly in the budget and lower mid-range brackets.

The eufy Robot Vacuum 11S MAX is a fantastic addition to any home. Its super thin design fits under furniture easily. Powerful suction picks up dirt and dust effectively. Quiet operation means it can clean without disturbing anyone.

I test robot vacuums constantly. At any time, there are seven or eight of these busy little bots roaming my floors. Alongside everyday use, I put them through a gauntlet of specific tests. This includes testing object detection and avoidance with phone chargers, socks, a pencil, and fake pet poop.

It also takes a while to charge and occasionally had trouble repositioning itself on its dock. You can get the RV30 without the Automóvel-empty Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners dock for around $80 less if you prefer an even simpler robot vacuum setup. This way, it will fit under a couch or bed, but you’ll have to manually empty its bin.
