If you ever watched The Jetsons as a kid, you probably remember Rosie, the robot maid who whizzed around dusting and vacuuming the futuristic family’s home. While no robot vacuum is going to be your personal housekeeper—at least not yet—the technology has come a long way. And it’s especially useful for the daily maintenance needed if you find yourself stepping on your kids’ stray cereal or pulling dog hair off your socks.
Once prohibitively expensive, robot vacuum cleaners have started to come down in price and you can now find relatively affordable models with voice command, floor mapping and strong suction power. Check out the six best robot vacuums that will tidy carpet and hardwood floors while you have your hands full.

The beloved Eufy Robovac 25C scores praise from thousands of reviewers—and at a legitimately affordable price, too (as far as robot vacuums go). While it may not have some of the advanced robot vacuum features like mopping, automatic bin emptying and home mapping, it has powerful suction on all types of flooring including hardwood floors and low- to medium-pile carpet. It’s a great find if you don’t want to blow your budget but need a little extra help around a house filled with messy children and/or pets.
The iRobot Roomba 676 comes with a slew of features like an auto-adjust cleaning head that adapts its height to effectively clean multiple floor surfaces, smart sensors that can tell the difference between carpet and hardwood, as well as a charging dock. It’s great at trapping allergens and will even suggest an extra clean when your area’s pollen count is high or it’s pet shedding season.
This affordable robot vacuum by Tzumi has all the features you would expect from a high-performing robot vacuum cleaner—but it’s less than half of the price of some of the fancier models. It includes powerful suction, connection to the Tzumi Smart Home app and automatic docking when it’s time to recharge. Program four different cleaning modes (auto clean, manual clean, spot clean or edge clean using the side brushes) with the remote or use the app on your smartphone or voice command with Alexa or Google Assistant.
If you have pets, you know it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the shedding. Even if you vacuum frequently, pet hair manages to creep into corners and onto the bottom of socks at every opportunity. But thanks to the iRobot Roomba i3, you can vacuum every day (or even multiple times a day!) without any extra effort. The i3 is lauded by pet owners for its powerful suction that tidies dirt, dander, pollen and pet fur to help with allergies and keep your socks hair-free.
The Shark AI Robot Vacmop Pro is a robot vacuum with mop that is perfect for condos and small homes with plenty of tile or hardwood flooring. When in “vacmop mode” it vacuums and mops simultaneously in a back-and-forth pattern, so it won’t miss or repeat areas. Best of all, this model avoids carpets, thanks to its in-app carpet detection.
In the mid-range as far as cost for an Ecovacs robot vacuum cleaner, the Deebot Ozmo T5 has both vacuuming and mopping abilities. You can set it up to clean for up to three hours—plenty of time to cover up to 3,200 square feet with one charge. It also features a smart navigation system that allows you to pre-set a map of your home for different floors. The robot vacuum will then vacuum and/or mop each area in an orderly pattern and will stay away from virtual boundaries that you create.
