Many connect to apps or digital voice assistants to allow hands-free cleaning. Other options include boundary strips and auto-empty docks that make it easier to do.
- Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner doesn't disappoint. It comes with more advanced features than the previous models, but the primary selling point is its ability to clean your home intelligently for you. It can detect floor types such as no-go zones, stubborn pet bowls, stains and much more. It does this by assessing its surroundings using cameras and a sophisticated map. This allows it to determine what it should do at any given time and you don't have to press buttons repeatedly or set different modes.
Like all Roborock vacuums, it can also mop. This is a wonderful addition to the range since it makes this robovac even more useful than before. The mop head is also able to be changed into scrub mode to get rid of harder dirt. Another benefit is that the robovac is able to overcome small thresholds of step due to its front-mounted sensor and a rotating FlexiArm.
It's easy to use, with the easy app allowing you to set rooms to clean and customize settings. Rocky is its voice assistant, is a good fit and understands commands clearly. You can ask it to cancel the task or to recite specific commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Matter-certified for Apple HomeKit integration.

With suction power that is top of the line with innovative features, as well as pet-friendly features, this robot vacuum is a great choice for busy households. The advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and customizable options make this robot vacuum cleaner among the top on the market.

- Eufy X10
The Eufy X10 offers a wide array of features at an affordable cost. It can do everything you ask a robot vacuum and mop to accomplish, and all at a fair price.
This model can handle floor cleaning tasks without any assistance, including sweeping, mopping and dusting. Its base station is a smaller than its competitors and requires 50cm space either side and 150cm front, but for those with enough space, it can provide a completely hands-free clean.
The smart navigation technology of the X10 is able monitor the layout and design of your home. It stores the information in its internal memory, without ever sending it to the cloud. The X10 can remember room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.
The X10 smart object recognition system is very effective, allowing it to identify and avoid hazards like power cords. It is also able to automatically clean and recharge its battery, which is a nice feature. However, I noticed that the X10 can be stuck on thicker rugs, crashing noisily over them, and sometimes pushing its front brush into the rugs.
This is a fantastic robo-vacuum and mop, but it's let down by the confusing application. Eufy Clean's app isn't as user-friendly as the iRobot App, which guides you through the process of setting up your robot up and teaches you how to use. It's a great option for those who wish to personalize it.
- SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution for cleaning your home. It is a combination of the power of a vacuum cleaner and mop. It is equipped with a unique design framework which allows it to collect dust and provide mopping water in the same machine.
It's equipped with all the standard sensors available on high-end robot vacuums, allowing it to create the map of your home in real-time, avoiding obstacles, and recognizing different types of carpets and hard floors. A front-facing AI-capable camera is also included which makes it easier to navigate around your home and find places that aren't accessible for most robotic vacuums.
This robotic powerhouse has an ultra-powerful suction motor which is capable of removing dirt, pet hair, and other debris from hard floors and low-pile carpeting. It can also be customized through the app to meet your specific needs, with custom cleaning routines, adjustments for mopping and vacuuming power and real-time updates of its current status.
It mops exceptionally well and comes with a RevoRoll roller mop that creates 10N worth of pressure on any floor. It also has a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself while it moves around your home. This keeps the mop clean as it sifts through dirt, preventing it from spreading the mess around your home.
The battery life is not as good as some of its rivals and may require the battery to recharge every so often if you have a larger house. It also sounds quite loud when it is in operation, so may not be suitable to use in places where quiet is desired. However, it's an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is an item that is unique in its class because of its sleek, modern design.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's popular Mini robot vacuum. This latest version combines an innovative Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD), and increased suction power to 3000Pa for superior corner coverage.
The K10 Plus uses SLAM navigation which is a simple application and a thorough cleaning process. The PSD sensor and the rotary brush work together to navigate around furniture. The four-stage cleaning system combines, lifts, sweeps and vacuums up debris from carpets and floors. The dustbin will empty itself, which means there's no need to empty it frequently.
You can also mark areas in the space you don't want the device to enter for pets or power cords. This is a common feature on most robotic vacuums, and is useful if you have specific areas in your home that require more attention than others.
You can set the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes in order to empty its garbage bin. This is an enormous improvement over other robots that have to be returned frequently and manually emptied, which can save you time.
In my tests, I noticed that the K10 Plus' battery life was outstanding. It lasted for 110 minutes in one run, which is more than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.
The K10 Plus has a fairly compact design, making it easy to fit under furniture or tight spaces. It is connected via Wi-Fi and has Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri shortcuts. It is compatible with IFTTT Samsung SmartThings, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. The app monitors how often you use its accessories, including the side brushes, filters and dust bag.
