With the future speaking of robotics and automation taking a toll, you get to know and use a lot of products and utilities that need minimal human intervention. Robotic vacuums are widely used appliances in many countries that automate the cleaning process at home. These models work on plain floor/carpet but cannot climb objects for now (lets hope for future).
The following article lists the best robotic vacuums that you can buy for your home right now! Have a look.
10. PureClean Robot Vacuum ($153.42)
This is Pure Clean’s robotic vacuum cleaner with automatic docking and schedule activation system. The built-in HEPA filter fights dust and the unit does not clog with pet hair. It has a powerful suction with advanced and improved programming to prevent the robot from getting stuck on carpets rugs and household obstacles. The wireless remote control allows activation, and you can schedule and manage the robot while working. It leaves edges and corners spotlessly clean and has dual rotating side brushes which sweep debris under the powerful suction.
“This vacuum is a great value for all the work it does to get my floors clean! It’s effortless cleaning on my part because I can set a schedule for the vacuum to run (I prefer at night or early morning) and it does not disrupt my day in any fashion. If I do choose to use it during the day (mainly for spot cleaning and edges) I love that the vacuum is quiet, especially in comparison to other robotic vacuums on the market right now. The navigation on this vacuum is superb! It can automatically sense objects and walls and slows down before hitting it so it doesn’t run entirely force into items and walls. The robot does a pretty good job keeping the dust and hair levels down in my home.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

9. Mint Robot Vacuum ($479.55)
This is a compact and sturdy hard floor cleaner which can run up to 3 hours on a single charge using microfiber cloths or most brands of disposable cloths.

It boasts whisper-quiet operation and turns itself off when it is done working. The unit measures 9.6 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep by 3.1 inches high. Covers the room and goes past all obstacles flawlessly and uses wet and dry cloths for cleaning.
“Good tile floor sweeper, but it is not without its flaws. It covers the room flawlessly and also doesn’t get stuck (very often at least). The main issue I have with it is the pad usually needs changing in the middle of cleaning for larger rooms and that it sometimes will “drop” hair when it hits walls. Other than these negatives, it gets the job done and is a lazy man’s dream.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

8. Rollibot Robot Vacuum ($149.99)

The unit does not fall off stairs and knows its way around carpet and rugs.
“I clean for a lady who bought a neato, and I thought that worked well. Compared to this that thing sucks, and it’s half the price. This Rollibot even impressed my husband that I had to beg for two years to get. It’s faster it’s smarter and has more features than the neato. The little bristles on the side make a huge improvement on the cleaning, they pull debris towards the middle for suction. I’ve used it twice now in one day, and it’s run time in my house 1100 Sq ft of all laminate is 1 1/2 hours. So far I’m very pleased with the price and capabilities of this little guy. Hoping it lasts” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

7. Haier Robot Vacuum ($179.99)

“Perfect fit for my needs! My 9-year-old kids still miss their mouths 1/2 the time. I got this to do the daily sweep under the bar after breakfast and lunch. Works great! Because I am not using it on the carpet, I wanted a vacuum that does not have a rolling brush. The sweepers work very well collecting food, hair, dust, and the micro fibre pad leaves our wood floor wiped clean. I’ve run the vacuum every day for two weeks now without issue. After each run, the compartment is emptied, microfiber pad is shaken off, and sweepers are checked for any obstructions. The whole processes take about a minute.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

The only problem is sometimes it could lose its way back to charging dock, but considering its excellent work on cleaning, I’d like to give him a hand once in a while.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

This is Roomba’s 3-stage cleaning AeroVac vacuum (it will vacuum and re-dock itself when it is done) which pulls dirt, hair and debris off the brushes and into the large chamber bin.

“Stunned. This thing is amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. We have dogs, cats, lots of kids so we vacuum with our heavy duty upright twice a day – no exaggeration. My carpet looks clean, so I let our Roomba loose last night in our living area just to make sure it was a working unit, etc. To my total shock this baby picked up an ENTIRE collection tray full of dust, hair, fibres, seeds, you name it. I just can’t believe it since, as I mentioned, we vacuum twice a day. I let it run in the same room this morning before I left to work and my son reported that it again filled up an entire collection tray! Five stars, I will highly recommend the Roomba 620 to EVERYONE I know. Fantastic product!” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

A little glitch; it might get stuck on loose cords, and the dustbin does not come with a bag.
“I could never say anything bad about, Bob. He vacuums my house for me; he will forever be apart of our family. He does get a little hung up under my cabinets so I just supervise him in the kitchen. Good trash capacity. I have pets, tile, hardwood, and carpet runners. It does fine on all surfaces. Works better than my upright just takes him a little longer to finish a room. Mop feature works better if the floors are already vacuumed. He always docs himself when he gets tired. I love my BoB Sweep.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

We would appreciate your valuable feedback in the comment section below.
Are these listed in order of worst to best? I’m just wondering why the 770 would be worse than the 650, since that seems kinda counterintuitive, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility – not everything that’s newer is better!
