5 Best Robot Vacuum Cleaners

Welcome to the site robovac.washerhouse.comIn this article, we'll look at the best robotic vacuum cleaners for the home in 2020. The difference between robotic vacuum cleaners and all-purpose models for dry and wet cleaning The advantage of robotic vacuum cleaners is that they can effectively clean floors by spraying clean water over the surface and scrubbing away stubborn stains. Therefore, these robots are an excellent option for cleaning laminate, parquet, tile, and other hard flooring. Robotic vacuum cleaners also outperform conventional ones. robotic floor polishers, as they can not only mop floors but also vacuum, collecting debris in a separate dust container. The problem is that such robots are relatively limited in number, especially models for dry and wet cleaning. Only a few manufacturers offer floor-mopping robots. We'll start our review of the top 5 robots, including their specifications, features, and prices, with the leader.

Important! The updated 2021 robot vacuum cleaner ranking has already been published on the website: https://robovac.washerhouse.com/en/rejtingi/robovac-rejting-luchshih-moyushhih-robotov-pylesosov-2021-goda.html.

Hobot Legee-688

So, the best robot vacuum cleaner with dry cleaning, at the time of compiling the rating, is Hobot Legee-688This robot features a unique design featuring two vibrating platforms with attached microfiber cloths. Nozzles located between the platforms spray clean water during cleaning. A suction port is located in front of the platforms, collecting debris into a dust collector. This allows the robot to simultaneously vacuum and mop, effectively scrubbing the surface.

Let's look at the characteristics and functions of the model:

• Laser navigation.
• Building a map of the premises.
• Control via mobile app, remote control and voice.
• 7 cleaning modes
• Li-Ion battery, capacity 2750 mAh.
• Operating time up to 90 min.
• Suction power up to 2100 Pa.
• Dust collector capacity 500 ml.
• Water tank capacity 320 ml.

Overall, the robot does an excellent job of cleaning floors, and it offers a variety of operating modes for different applications. One important thing to note is that due to its design, this robotic vacuum cleaner is only suitable for smooth floors. It won't be able to overcome obstacles taller than 5 mm. Keep this in mind. The average price of this model is $3.50. This is a reasonable price considering its specifications, functionality, and complete package with all spare parts. It's also worth noting that this robotic vacuum cleaner has received positive reviews online.

A detailed review is available on our channel:

iLife W450

The bronze winner of our rating is a new robotic vacuum cleaner. iLife W450. Sales begin in November 2020. Its design is fundamentally different from Hobot. This robot has two water tanks: separate for clean and dirty water. The cleaning process is as follows: clean water is sprayed onto the floor in front of a rotating roller, which in turn scrubs dirt from the floor. The dirty water is then sucked into a separate tank, and residual liquid is collected from the floor by a rubber squeegee. This is unlike the previous model. W400 This robot can create a map of the room using its camera and is also controlled via a mobile app.

Briefly about the model:

• Navigation based on camera, gyroscope and sensors.
• Control via remote control and proprietary app.
• 4 cleaning modes.
• Li-Ion battery, capacity 2500 mAh.
• Operating time up to 80 min.
• Cleaning area up to 60 sq.m.
• The volume of the clean water tank is 0.85 l.
• The capacity of the dirty water tank is 0.9 l.
• Suction power up to 1000 Pa.

This robot also can't overcome tall obstacles due to its design. Furthermore, its body is only 12 cm high, so it won't be able to clean under low furniture. Furthermore, the model costs around $200-250 on AliExpress. It's inferior to the top-ranked robot in many ways, but it's still cheaper and does a decent job of cleaning floors.

Hobot Legee-669

In third place I decided to place another model from the Hobot company - Legee-669The fact is that this robot is equipped with almost the same characteristics and functions as the 688th model, but the price is lower - $270, which makes it more accessible.

So, what is important to know about the Hobot Legee-669? It includes:

• Laser navigation.
• Building a map of the premises.
• Remote control.
• 3 cleaning modes
• Li-Ion battery, capacity 2750 mAh.
• Operating time up to 70 min.
• Suction power up to 1800 Pa.
• Cleaning area up to 120 sq.m.
• Dust collector capacity 500 ml.
• Water tank capacity 320 ml.

The main differences from the leading model are the lack of mobile app control, fewer cleaning modes, and no mapping. Nevertheless, this robotic vacuum cleaner effectively handles its tasks, is less expensive, and is definitely better than the iLife. It's a simple robotic floor cleaner.

iRobot Braava Jet m6

Fourth place goes to the robotic floor polisher iRobot Braava Jet m6Although this robot is not capable of vacuuming, it can work in sync with a branded robot vacuum cleaner. iRobot Roomba S9+.

The idea is that Roomba first performs dry cleaning, returns to its base, and signals Braava to begin wet cleaning. This provides a complete dry and wet cleaning of the room. The downside is that the tandem costs over $1,500: the iRobot Roomba S9+ costs $1,100 and the iRobot Braava Jet m6 costs $450. It's far from cheap, which is why it only finished fourth.

As for the characteristics and functions of the floor polisher, they are as follows:

• Camera-based navigation.
• Building a map of the premises.
• Control via mobile application.
• Zoning of premises into rooms.
• Control via voice assistants.
• Imprint Link technology for co-cleaning with a robot vacuum cleaner.
• Continue cleaning after recharging.
• Operating time up to 90 min.
• Cleaning area up to 30 sq.m. on one charge.

It's also important to note that despite its separate dry and wet cleaning modes, the iRobot's cleaning performance is inferior to that of the Hobot, as the cleaning cloth is fixed to the bottom of the unit. There's no rotation or vibration of the pad, making this floor polisher more suitable for home cleaning.

Video review from the manufacturer:

Xiaomi SWDK ZDG300

And finally, our TOP-5 is rounded out by the only robotic mopping device on the list, not a robotic vacuum cleaner. The model is called Xiaomi SWDK ZDG300The thing is, this robot is structurally similar to the Hobot robots, except it doesn't vacuum; it only mops the floor using vibrating pads that are automatically wetted. The robot costs around $150-200. The debris collects on the pads anyway, so you might prefer the vacuum function over the floor cleaning function, and this robot will be of interest solely for mopping.

The features and functions are as follows:

• Navigation based on camera and gyroscope.
• Building a map of the premises.
• Control via mobile application.
• Li-Ion battery, capacity 2500 mAh.
• Operating time up to 120 min.
• Cleaning area up to 120 sq.m.
• Water tank capacity is 240 ml.

The model is quite interesting and worth the money, but it does not have the ability to vacuum the floor.

Our verdict + spoiler

In conclusion, it's best to choose between the Hobot Legee-688 robotic vacuum cleaner and the new iLife W450. Focus on your budget and the features you need.

Incidentally, the world's first robotic vacuum cleaner with a self-cleaning base has already hit the international market. The model is called the Narwal T10. This robot is equipped with laser navigation, app control, mapping, and, most importantly, is capable of more than just... self-clean at base, but also rinses and dries the wipes independently. When this new product becomes available for sale in Russia, it will undoubtedly be the best robotic vacuum cleaner in the world! Unfortunately, it is not yet available for purchase.

So, we've reviewed the best robotic vacuum cleaners for the home in 2020. As you can see, there are even models with a dry cleaning function, and not all of them are premium. Some are available for a budget of up to $200.
