There’s no arguing about the gratifying control that comes with a robust cordless vacuum such as a Dyson. However, if tidying up isn’t your definition of fun, why not let a robot take care of it? The finest robot vacuums can navigate your space, collecting dust, dirt, and even addressing stains on hard surfaces — all without you raising a finger.

After personally evaluating over 20 different robot vacuums (yes, my floors are immaculate), I’m prepared to present the top selections from brands like iRobot, Eufy, Shark, and Roborock.

Are Roombas genuinely the top robot vacuums?

While numerous Roombas are outstanding, they’re no longer the only exceptional choices available.

iRobot led the robot vacuum industry from the early 2000s for many years, so it’s no surprise that many individuals still refer to any robotic vacuum as “Roomba.” But the landscape has evolved. Nowadays, when you look for Roombas, you’ll frequently find Shark, Roborock, and Eufy models making an appearance as well — and they warrant just as much recognition.

I consistently put the latest robot vacuums through rigorous testing at various price levels, comparing them with top-performing models from previous years. All assessments occur in my own residence across a range of surfaces, including carpets, tiles, and hardwood floors. During the evaluation, I review suction strength, scrubbing effectiveness (for hybrid vacuum-mop variants), pet hair removal, self-emptying and self-cleaning functionalities, smart mapping and navigation, obstacle recognition, and general usability.

After thorough testing, I’ve narrowed down your choices to six exceptional models — each one personally verified. Whether you’re in search of an economical option or a high-end powerhouse, here are the best robot vacuums available for purchase in 2025.

(Note: I’ve included each vacuum’s standard retail price, but I’ve also added the typical discounted price — since fantastic robot vacuum bargains are available all year round, not just during Black Friday.)

UPDATE: As of April 27, 2025, I’m in the process of testing the newly revealed Roborock Saros 10 and Saros Z70 from CES 2025, along with several new Roombas introduced in March. Should any of these emerge as strong contenders, I’ll revise this guide accordingly.
