Other robot vacuum to consider

We are getting closer to the great robot vacuum convergence. Whatever price you want to pay, you can find a robot vacuum that will look very similar and have the same features. There are some here who did a good job for us too.
Roborock Qrevo Curv for $ 1,099, It was Roborock’s 2024 flagship vacuum, and it is still great (reviewer Ryan Vaniata calls it the best robot vacuum that he is ever used). It has a slightly less suction power than this year’s Saros 10R, but I used it to clean a whole carpet filled with baking powder.
Eufy Mach S1 Pro for $ 1,500, This surprisingly beautiful robot vacuum will be the centerpiece of your kitchen. The water chamber is seen and lighted, and an ozone generator reportedly removes 99.99 percent bacteria. It also has an ultra-unique navigation and a self-cleaning roller MOP that cleans itself. However, it has only 8,000 PA suction, which is less than some of our other pics, and 26.4 inches high, the dock is too long and makes storage difficult.
Eufy x10 Pro for $ 550, Believe it or not, it is not a bad price for a hybrid robot vacuum MOP (9/10, recommended) with such magnificent navigational capabilities! (Sale has brought it even less.) However, the above YeDy is inexpensive and provides the same functionality.
Dreame L40 Ultra for $ 600, Dream’s robot Vacuum-MOP Combo started in IFA 2024. This Dream is slightly cheaper than the X30 Ultra (7/10, Wired Review), but it cannot do its best trick to remove the MOP pad. Wired Reviewer Nina Fareel found that it is not cheap even when it is cheap, and it competed a bit more often than the X30. However, it is very beautiful and has a lot of battery life that is left after both moping and vacuuming.
Avoid these robot vacancies
Not every vacuum earns a place in our list. These are the ones I removed directly.
Eufy E28 Combo Robot Vacuum for $ 1,000, I was very disappointed with this, because I have two dogs and two children and often need to use a deep carpet cleaner, Add For an MOP and vacuum. This vacuum can do MOP and is a Viosya carpet cleaning station. Unfortunately, the water injection system is victorious. The robot vacuum should be fully deployed to inject with water from the tank (I often had to tap it in place with my foot), and every time I get mapped, it leaked on my kitchen floor. At least carpet cleaner was effective.
Irobot combo j7+ for $ 499, Irobot makes beautiful robot vacuum that I like for years, but when I tested it, the software experience on it was poor. Since then, the company has done several twists and turns and released a new line under a new CEO. After testing the latest lineup, we will update this roundup.
Ecovacs Deebot T50 Max Pro Omni for $ 1,000, My examiner could not return it to the docking station. I have asked Ecovac for another review sample and once I updated it after testing it.
TP-Link Tapo RV 30C for $ 229, I like the simplicity of this robot vacuum, but you can’t find the replacement bag for it.
Ureka j20 And Eureka J15 Pro Ultra for $ 830, Eureka is a highly respected name in the vacuum field, and these robot vacuums are very beautiful and come with many bells and whistles. However, Eureka Vacuums found the small lips between my kitchen’s hard wood floor completely inaccessible between the carpet of the living room, and the app also hit a minor barrier each time. It was very annoying.
Prosecenic M9 for £ 439, Reviewer Simon Hill said that this robot vacuum is terrible. It misses a lot of spots, the chute immediately gets filled with hair, and it makes noise continuously. Whenever it gets stuck, it asks you to call customer service. The only plus side is that it seems out of stock.
Narwal Freeo X Ultra for $ 1,134, It is a beautiful vacuum with a lot of features including baseboard dusting. However, despite moving it from the room to the room to find better Wi-Fi, and to try various versions of the app to the phone to switch to the phone, I was unable to connect it to the app and therefore could not use it. (I reached Narwal several times, but could not fix it; if I find a fix in future we will update.)
Switchbot K10+ for $ 600, Now you can access this small robot vacuum with additional cleaning accessories, such as a stick vacuum or air purifier. Unfortunately, the robot vacuum is still terrible. This is the only vacuum where I have ever experienced a poptastroph – where it pulled a dog hunting in my house. Reviewer Simon Hill also tried this robot vacuum and discovered that it was suicidal. The roller is easily closed, it cannot find its way back in the dock, and it often drops itself down from the stairs.
Shark PowerDetect for $ 700 2-1 -1, This vacuum surprisingly cleaned (5/10, wired review). However, it does not auto-khali, the dirtdate does not work, and the app is completely bonar (maps are not accurate, cannot add many floors, and are closed at the time of cleaning).
