So how do you choose the best robot vacuum? We've covered some of the best Eufy robovac vacuum cleaners, the best Evovacs robotic vacuums, and the best Roomba vacuums. All of these vacuums are great options for delegating the time-consuming chore of vacuuming your home, ranging from barebones but budget-friendly to truly expensive and robust. Be sure to choose the robot vacuum that best suits your home and your particular needs. Are you dealing with a lot of pet hair? Do you frequently have messy spills (hello, parents of toddlers!) that require a wet/dry mopping feature? Do you have a large home that requires long battery life?

For our money, we'd go with the Roborock S5 Max Vacuum and Mop. It's a reliable workhorse of a vacuum and mopping system, and is easy to set up and efficient. This powerhouse robot maps your entire home, so you can decide exactly which rooms get vacuumed and which get mopped.

If you're looking to spend a bit less money, though, then the ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO 601 is worth taking a peek at. This vac is pet-friendly with its ability to pick up pet hair and is low volume. Use it on hard floors or carpets. Choose Max Mode to double the suction power when needed. It's a reliable cleaning tool that'll keep your floors spic-and-span.
