Sparkling clean, dust-free floors are a defining feature of a comfortable home, but maintaining them takes almost daily attention. Rather than wrestle with a heavy traditional vacuum or a cumbersome hand-held model, you can now entrust the chore of vacuuming to a tireless robot.
In this article: Ilife V3s Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Eufy by Anker RoboVac G10 Hybrid and iRobot Roomba j7+ (7550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum.
While all robot vacuums promise to clean your floors, more expensive models offer ingenious features that may justify the investment.
All robotic vacuums operate independently and return to their charging port when finished. Basic models should be able to clean on diverse surfaces, and most do well on hard flooring. More comprehensive ones perform better even on tricky surfaces, such as rugs, and they often can map multiple rooms. Fancier models may offer filters, side roller brushes, more powerful suction and mopping capabilities.
