Roborock
4.5
(81)
"Roborock and Dreame are the 2 premiere ones of the moment. I believe roborock currently holds the top spot."
"I really just based my decision on cleaning performance, and for my needs and budget Roborock ended up being the best choice."
"For sure, checkout Vacuum Wars like the other person said. Robot Vacs are on the expensive side in terms of home automation, so just weight out your options."
"I have two vacs in HomeKit via Matter at present, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, and the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni."
"Personally roborock s8 v max ultra or whatever it’s called gets the job done at £1500 same in $ as well I believe but i don’t mind waiting until I’ve been up a vacuum fun."
"Roborock s8 work great on parquet vacuum plus mop."
"Roborock s8 maxV ultra. We’ve had it since August 2024 and it’s been so freaking reliable. Amazing machine."
"I just purchased a Roborock vacuum a cpl months ago, and it is an amazing piece of equipment."
"The Roborock is way better in every way."
"Maybe i'll go with Roborock as you highly recommended."

iRobot

"I have a roomba iRobot… If it died today, I’d buy another one tomorrow."
"Hear me out. I know roomba is pricey but it lasts FOREVER."
"If you keep up with the maintenance they work really well."
"Hear me out. I know roomba is pricey but it lasts FOREVER."
"I love mine!"
"We got a refurbished Roomba i4 for $200 on Amazon and it has been awesome."
"I love controlling my Roomba with Home Assistant, even without internet access."
"I love it. Especially creating schedules and creating rooms. It’s the best and I don’t have to call house cleaning as often."
"I got my self-emptying roomba for $150 on Facebook marketplace and that thing is a tank for dog hair."
"I have a bare bones basic iRobot & 2 cats. You don’t need to buy one that is marketed as specifically for pet hair - they are all just vacuums. I named my robot Miles and I love him!"

Eufy
4.3
(36)
"The top in almost all independent reviews is the eufy s1 pro. 999 dollar/euro at the moment."
"Idk but I have a 200$ eufy and it rocks. Customer service is amazing."
"I got a eufy on prime day deals and I love it for dog hair and general pet dirt/dust collection."
"I would highly recommend that brand."
"I have a eufy that I got on sale a number of years ago for about $120 and I love it."
"It has a cutting blade in the base that automatically cuts hair from the roller which is great."
"We call him Eugene and we love him!"
"Absolutely loving it."
"Vacuum Wars on YouTube just put the Eufy L60 as their best budget vacuum."
"It's one of the greatest things I've ever purchased."

Roomba
3.7
(31)
"It’s great. Vacuums and mops."
"I would personally say save for a used Roomba j7+."
"I have a roomba, and love it. It’s pricey, but their customer service is great."
"It’s great, I love it."
"Just have to add, I have one carpet at the doors to catch mud, the rest of the house is hardwood."
"Live my roomba for daily cleaning."
"The j5 is probably the lowest end you would want to go with and those are $400 for the combo version, which would lead me to just recommend the j7+ non combo for $350 on Amazon."
"The only thing I can recommend at that price point is the Roomba i5+ (no combo but it does self empty)."
"The roomba j7 (not the plus) would be a great option for you but its 299 so mind adding 99 dollars more for a great machine."
"My floor look great."

"I have a shark .. it’s an older one with the strips .. it works pretty good , although I wish I would have waited and got the upgraded one with mapping and emptying function."
"Got a shark and send him out to suck up the pet hairs daily."
"We've had the Shark robotic vacuums for years, and have recently added the self-emptying ones."
"I have a Shark that we like a lot."

Xiaomi
4.4
(10)
"I recommend it. I have a Xiaomi one that vacuums and mops. It takes care of itself (autoempties the dustbin, washes, and dries the mops). Works great at keeping my hard floors drool free and fur-free."
"Go for a Xiaomi Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro."
"It is smart and convenient for home cleaning and the prices are good."
"I have the Xiaomi S10 and it's amazing!"
"You can consider the Xiaomi X10+. I think it’s a good price for its value in my region."

"I'm happy. in ger it’s around 350-400€."
"We have an old cheap Xiaomi s5, it works great."
"I've been weighing up the Xiaomi floor cleaning / vac robot."

Ecovacs
3.3
(10)
"I don't know much about other brand but I have an ecovacs t50 pro, couldn't find another thin fit at this price. It cleans well under my low furniture."
"But it has been great for the past year. Pros: picks up dirt well, is app based and compatible with Alexa."
"It vacuumed really well."
"It works well for pet hair and also fits within your budget."
"I've had the Ecovacs T30s for about six months now, and it's been great."
"Personally I think it was worth every penny."
"I am waiting for ecovacs t50 pro to get Matter support, not sure when."
"The mop function is ok at wiping dust but not a replacement for a real mop."
"The mop function sucked."
"The map software is awful and constantly forgets the layout."

SwitchBot
4.3
(4)
"I just got the switchbot S10 for the exact reason and we love it."
"We'll be getting an S10 for downstairs to handle mopping duties as well."
"I use the S10 and it’s great overall. I have to give its tanks and roller a clean out once a month, but not having to empty/fill water is amazing."
"I've been intrigued by the SwitchBot S10 because I like how it can fill and empty its own tank, but I hear you regarding the overall quality of the vacuum."

Dyson

"Personally I’d just get a cordless Dyson Animal or something similar and vacuum a couple times a week."
"If all you care about is the vacuuming performance, the dyson robot vacuum is the best performer."
