I've tested dozens of robot vacuums, and it's rare that I stick with only one of them. Yet I've been using the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone for over a month, and I'm in love. This is a flagship robot vacuum that's good enough to be the only one you'll need for years and years to come. It features the latest navigation and obstacle avoidance technology, some of the best cleaning power on the market, and easy maintenance.

Amazon is hosting a Prime Big Deal Days sales event today and tomorrow, featuring some of the best discounts we've seen all year. One of them, the iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo , offers a self-emptying, self-washing robot vacuum and mop at a 50% discount, bringing its price down to $400. The Plus 405 is part of the latest Roomba lineup that iRobot has released, and it is one of the company's most capable.

Robot vacuums promise to handle your cleaning chores automatically but most fall short in frustrating ways. They get stuck on furniture, miss obvious dirt patches, tangle on cables or require constant babysitting that defeats their entire purpose. The Roborock Qrevo CurvX sits comfortably in our top three favorite robot vacuums because it actually delivers on the promise of true hands-off cleaning.

Roborock launched the Saros 10R in June 2025 and introduced its latest flagship generation that redefines what premium robot vacuums can achieve. This is the most advanced model in Roborock's entire lineup, and it delivers power and capabilities that dwarf every other robot vacuum currently sold on Amazon. Now, for Prime Big Deal Days, this technological marvel has dropped to a new record low of $1,199, down from its usual $1,599.

The Clean Navigation system of the Matrix is a marked improvement over simple robot vacuums that navigate randomly. This tech instructs the vacuum to methodically vacuum in a specific grid pattern and repeatedly passing over the same areas until all dirt and debris have been removed. Rather than rely on the hope that, over time, the robot catches all places through random movement, you enjoy deliberate coverage that systematically takes on your whole floor area one step at a time.

The Deebot X8 Pro Omni is an excellent robot vacuum and mop hybrid, with an extendable roller mop that can apply up to 4,000Pa of pressure and reach into tricky spots, including corners. The nifty roller mop can also clean itself while tidying up your home, and the vac comes with a compact multifunction dock, one that can refill the robovac using an integrated water tank and move dirty water into a separate waste tank to prevent it from dragging stains across your home.

Ecovacs has officially launched the Deebot X11 OmniCyclone, its most advanced and visually ambitious robot vacuum and mop, revealed at IFA 2025 in Berlin. More than a refresh, the X11 is a bold rethinking of what a home cleaning robot can be, with a unique bagless station, a wealth of new technology, and a focus on both style and sustainability.

Who needs legs? Eufy, Anker's smart home brand, believes it has solved the problem of how a single robot vacuum can clean multiple floors in your home. Its new MarsWalker robot is equipped with four arms to carry a vacuum between levels, so you don't have to lug it up the stairs yourself or buy a robot for each floor. However, you've now got two robots, so perhaps it's not really solving that problem.

In my tests, the Narwal Freo Pro did pretty well at keeping my floors clean. It has fantastic suction on hard floors, does a decent job mopping, and can clean without much intervention. However, it didn't always avoid cords on the floor, the suction performance wasn't as great on carpet, and its dust containment didn't last me near seven weeks.

The Yeedi S14 Plus features some of the strongest suction on the market, an intelligent navigation process, and a self-cleaning mop roller, housed in a hands-free charging dock.

The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni, currently discounted to $365, offers features typically found in high-end models yet is priced in the midrange category, around $700.
