Robot vacuums can free up your time if they're up to the job. Our industry experts comprehensively lab test and review leading robot vacuum brands to help you find the best performers on the market.

Our robot vacuum reviews will tell you which models:

  • are the quietest
  • are best at picking up dirt from hard floors, corners and edges
  • remove the most dirt and pet hair from carpets
  • have the longest battery life
  • are easiest to use and install (for models tested from 2023 onwards)
  • are best at mopping (for models tested from 2023 onwards that have this feature).

Shopping links on the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳website

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer's website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn't influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We're currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. .

We also list good and bad points for each vacuum, and give you a list of Recommended models so you can quickly work out the best performers.

We've partnered with on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Our interactive table helps you narrow down your search according to the features and specifications you're looking for, such as price, charge time, remote control and stair detection.

Our reviews find a large variation of performance across the robot vacuums we test, but generally none of the machines clean carpet to a really high standard. There is also a large variance in pet hair cleaning performance and the ability to get into corner spaces efficiently. 

So if you're considering investing in a robot vacuum, we strongly suggest comparing all of our test results closely.
