The best robot vacuums
A robot vacuum is a camera and a microphone that drives around your home, so this list weighs what it sends home as heavily as what it picks up.
What we look at
- Works fully without a cloud account, or says clearly that it cannot
- Where map and camera data are stored, and for how long
- Spare parts and batteries sold separately for at least five years
- Handles thresholds, cables and dark floors without rescue
- Noise measured in decibels, not adjectives
Helps if you have it: The data-handling page covering map and camera storage, plus a published spare-parts catalogue.
Nothing in this list yet. If you know something that belongs here, add it. Name and a link is enough.
