1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO and its i3 EVO sibling, the i3 EVO are both identical robots that differ only in that the i3+ comes with self-emptying features. The i3+ is a good option for those looking for a an automated, hands-free cleaning experience but are willing to manually empty the dust bin after it has filled up.

Both robots are adept at cleaning up surface debris from carpets and hard floors and they're very adept in moving around furniture and other obstacles. iAdapt navigation software creates smart map of your home to assist the i3+ to navigate and clean up efficiently. However unlike the i7+ or other top-rated robots that we test the i3+ doesn't have any obstacle-avoidance features which means it can be stuck on things like power cords or socks, and it may have trouble navigating across surface transitions, such as from hardwood to carpet.

iRobot recommends you clear out areas that the i3+ EVO will vacuum before you use it, including getting rid of any clutter or toys it may come across. You should also keep the filters and dust bin free of dirt to prevent them from becoming clogged. When the i3+'s internal bin is full or the battery is empty it goes back to its docking station and automatically empties its trash into the station's dust bin, and then continues cleaning where it began. The battery's lifespan is around an hour-and-a-half of continuous usage. It takes about three hours to charge.

2. iRobot i7+ Roomba

Its greatest advantage over the Eufy is the self-emptying bin which eliminates the main sources of maintenance and reduces recurring cost.

We were also impressed with the i7+’s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot on how to begin or stop house cleaning robot sessions and also to move around the room, and to vacuum a particular area. The iRobot Home App made it easy to connect the i7+ with these services. Once connected, to speak commands to the i7+ like "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options for managing i7+ settings and monitoring performance.

3. Dyson Cyclone V10

The V10's biggest drawback is its limited run time. Its marketing claims that it can last up to 60 minutes of run time are misleading, as CR's testing shows. This is a standard, not exceptional, battery-powered cordless vacuum's running time. It's enough time to sweep a typical-sized home but not enough to reach every spot. (A second time is usually sufficient). That's not to say this model doesn't have its advantages It's lighter and more mobile than the older cordless Dysons and its vacuuming performance is significantly better on carpets with low pile.
