Best Robot Vacuum Cleaners for Build Quality (2024)

The S9 Plus has been fundamentally redesigned, and part of that redesign is the new shape, which is supposed to provide better edge and corner cleaning performance.

The S9, however, was nice and smooth, and the wider brush roll combined with the power for a truly impressive pickup.

I tested the S9 Plus twice and got 93% and 96%, resulting in an average of 94.5%.

The battery life on the S9 was better in several ways.

Because the S9 only has a 75-minute battery run time, this feature is particularly useful. It means you can clean half the house, and then it will go home and charge.

Setting up this vacuum is super easy.

The iRobot app is your control center for your robot army. At its simplest, you can use it to turn the robots on and off.

Because of all that extra suction, it does sound like a vacuum.

It's quite loud at 73 decibels, and you wouldn't want to watch TV while it's cleaning in the same room.

The Roomba Combo J7 Plus is one of the very best pure robot vacuums available.

It easily picked up fine debris with no issues, including heavier debris on hard floors.

The dual brush roll design gives it a distinct advantage.

The mopping performance in those tests was really quite good, even compared to some of the active mopping robots.

A robot seemed to add a much larger battery to accommodate this longer navigation.

As of this video, they have not published any official information about the battery size or battery life.

Another big pro is the automatic empty bin, called a clean base.

It has some useful navigation features, such as keep-out zones.

The new mopping hardware makes it less efficient at navigation.

The navigation is now actually quite good, although it still takes a little longer to learn its map.

The J7 combo seems to be performing much better. I suspect that it has the exact same navigational hardware, but there have probably been a number of updates.

The suction performance of the D10 Plus reaches up to 4000 Pa, with a run time of up to 150 minutes.

It picked up an impressive 99.3 percent of sand on hard floors.

However, it wasn't as good as I had hoped in the deep cleaning test, picking up only slightly above 71 percent.

It has a runtime of up to 180 minutes, covering approximately 270 square meters.

The D10 Plus is compatible with the Xiaomi Home app, as are other Dreamy robot vacuums.

The setup here is really easy, and the learning process is straightforward once you have that map.

The D10 Plus navigation is efficient and performed reasonably well in the coverage test, picking up most of the debris after the first pass.

The D10 Plus wasn't noisy in the two lower settings, registering only 62.7 and 64.5 decibels.

However, the noise level increases significantly in the two higher settings, reaching 69.6 and 74.1 decibels.

The power was pretty good. Roborock says it has 2700 pascals of suction, which is more than their previous flagship, the S7, had.

Another huge pro was its ability to deep clean carpets. In our deep clean test, it got an 84, which is well above average.

The Q5 did not perform well in our robot vacuum crevice test, either on default power or maximum power.

The T20 Omni excels at removing dirt and dust from floor crevices and carpets.

The T20 Omni uses real-time 3D scanning and detection to achieve millimeter-level avoidance.

The T20 Omni features hot water mopping technology to dissolve oil and dirt.

The Deebot is powered by a 5200 mAh battery, which allows it to clean for up to 200 minutes on a single charge.

If the battery runs low, the Deebot will automatically return to the station to recharge.

The voice command system makes cleaning your home as easy as saying, 'Okay, you go.'

The d-bod T20 Omni can be controlled using Ecovac's home app.

The noise level during dust collection can reach 81 decibels.

The dust collection speed is quite fast, typically taking only 10 seconds.
