7 Best Robot Vacuums with Room Mapping

Welcome to the site robovac.washerhouse.comIn this article, we'll look at the best robot vacuum cleaners with room mapping in 2020. Robots with laser navigation, a camera, and even a gyroscope can create room mapping. Mapping is a crucial feature, especially for large areas. You can set cleaning zones and no-go areas on the map, and see where the robot has and hasn't cleaned. Therefore, all well-known manufacturers include real-time room mapping and saving of cleaning maps in their flagship models. So, the top 7 are represented by new flagships from leading manufacturers. Let's take a closer look at each one.

Xiaomi Roborock S6 MaxV

Opens the rating Roborock S6 MaxV From Xiaomi. This robot vacuum cleaner hit the market in 2020. It's rightfully considered one of the best in the world for navigation, as it not only creates an accurate map of the room but also identifies objects on the floor using its front-facing camera.

It creates a map using an installed lidar sensor. A laser rangefinder scans rooms with great precision and creates a map in the mobile app in real time. A key feature is the ability to store multiple cleaning plans in memory, allowing the robot vacuum cleaner to be used in two- and three-story homes (each floor plan is saved). In addition to mapping the room, the robot also zones it into rooms. This allows you to direct the Xiaomi Roborock S6 MaxV to the desired room for cleaning or set a cleaning schedule by room, time, and day of the week. Furthermore, you can individually adjust the suction power and wetness of the cleaning cloth for each room. You can also set virtual walls and no-go zones on the map to prevent the robot from entering areas where objects accumulate that it could damage.

Key features include suction power of up to 2500 Pa, a runtime of up to 3 hours, and a cleaning area of ​​up to 250 square meters. It's also worth noting that the Xiaomi Roborock S6 MaxV is suitable for both dry and wet cleaning. It has a 460 ml dust container and a separate 300 ml water tank. Overall, the robot cleans efficiently and navigates well. It costs approximately $550.

Xbot L7 Pro

The silver medalist in our top 7 is a newcomer to the market, the Xbot L7 Pro. It's a self-cleaning robot vacuum cleaner with lidar and a wet mopping function. This model is on par with the Roborock in most specifications and features, and in some cases, even better. Its main highlight is undoubtedly its self-cleaning base, but its mapping capabilities are also top-notch.

The main features include:

1. Create a room map and save up to 4 cleaning maps in memory.
2. Zoning of premises into rooms.
3. Cleaning in selected areas/rooms and limiting cleaning zones on the map.
4. Automatic power increase when driving on carpeted surfaces.
5. Continue cleaning from the interrupted point after recharging.
6. Control via remote control, mobile app and voice assistants.
7. Moving the herringbone in wet cleaning mode.
8. Suction power up to 2700 Pa.
9. Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh.
10. Operating time up to 2.5 hours.
11. Dust collector capacity is 600 ml.
12. The volume of the water tank is 110 ml.
13. Cleaning area >100 sq.m. on one charge.
14. Noise level 65 dB.

We tested this robot and even compared it to other flagship models; a video review will be available very soon. It's important to note that the new model costs $500 with the self-cleaning base and $360 with the standard charging base.

Okami U100 Laser

Let's move on to the next model, this is Okami U100 Laser – a robot vacuum cleaner with lidar navigation and wet and dry cleaning functions. Using a laser rangefinder, the robot creates a room map and stores it in memory (up to four maps). Room zoning is not currently supported, but you can manually select cleaning zones or set no-go zones through the app. The room mapping accuracy is high.

Among the additional features, I'd like to highlight the remote control and wet cleaning, which requires replacing the dust bin with a water tank. Furthermore, the robot boasts high suction power (up to 2500 Pa) thanks to the motor mounted directly in the dust bin. Other notable features include a runtime of up to 2 hours and a cleaning area of ​​over 100 square meters on a single charge. The cleaning quality is high, yet the model costs around $400.

Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI

The fourth place among the best robot vacuum cleaners with room mapping is deservedly taken by another flagship model - Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVIThis robot vacuum cleaner is identical in features and functionality to the Roborok, which tops the list. However, it costs $100 more ($650), and the brand itself is less well-known in Russia, despite being quite popular in the West.

The Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI also features lidar and a camera for object recognition, can perform combined dry and wet cleaning, and is equipped with two side brushes (although this has virtually no impact on cleaning performance). Its only advantage over the Roborock is the optional self-cleaning base. However, with the self-cleaning base, the robot will cost $700-$750. However, it must be said that the features justify the price.

Among the characteristics and capabilities, it is important to highlight:

• Saving multiple cleaning maps in memory.
• Zoning of premises into rooms.
• Electronic adjustment of suction power and degree of cloth wetting.
• Li-Ion battery, 5200 mAh.
• Operating time up to 3 hours.
• Cleaning area up to 220 m².
• Dust collector capacity is 420 ml.
• Water tank capacity is 240 ml.

iRobot Roomba S9+

Another robot vacuum cleaner with mapping that I would like to draw your attention to is iRobot Roomba S9+It creates a room map using a camera and sensors. The room layout is very accurate, and the robot can also store multiple cleaning maps and divide rooms into zones, which is very useful. You can set no-go zones on the map, and manually change room boundaries if needed.

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is suitable for dry cleaning only. It cleans carpets well and also picks up pet hair and fur from floors. The cleaning module, which features silicone scraper rollers, effectively removes debris. Another highlight of the robot is self-cleaning on baseFor such advanced functionality, you'll have to pay around $1,170. The robot can operate for up to 2 hours on a single charge, cleaning over 100 square meters of area during that time.

GENIO LASER L800

The latest new product, which went on sale in the fall of 2020, is the GENIO LASER L800. It features precise lidar-based navigation, a wet cleaning function, and all the other advanced features.

The robot vacuum cleaner is unique in that it supports 5G Wi-Fi, while all other robots can only connect to 2.4 GHz networks. However, its functionality is also comparable to its competitors in many ways, including:

1. Dry and wet cleaning.
2. Control via remote control and mobile app.
3. Building a map of the premises.
4. Adjustment of suction power and degree of wetting of the cloth.
5. Restrict cleaning areas using virtual no-go zones and magnetic tape.
6. Voice notifications in Russian.
7. Cleaning area up to 100 sq.m. on one charge.
8. Working time: 2 hours.
9. Dust collector capacity is 500 ml.
10. The volume of the combined container is 240+260 ml.
11. Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh.

At the same time, the price is reasonable—up to $350. So it's a very interesting option to consider.

Hobot Legee-688

And finally, the list of the best robot vacuum cleaners with mapping Hobot Legee-688This unique robotic floor cleaner is suitable for cleaning smooth flooring such as laminate, parquet, tile, and linoleum. The unique feature of this model is its two movable platforms, which hold cleaning pads. These platforms mimic the motion of a human hand. Nozzles are located between the pads to wet the floor. The robot cannot clean carpets, but it provides superior wet cleaning on hard floors.

The Hobot Legee-688 is controlled via a remote control and a mobile app, which uses laser sensors to create a room map. Suitable for cleaning areas up to 150 square meters, it cleans for up to 90 minutes on a single charge, and its suction power reaches 2100 Pa. No-go zones are not currently available on the map. The robot costs up to $350.

So, we've reviewed the best robot vacuum cleaners with room mapping in 2020. All of the top 7 perform well and are equipped with advanced features. If your budget is tight (under $200), I also recommend checking out Xiaomi Mijia Vacuum Cleaner 1CPriced between $130 and $160, this robot is equipped with a camera, creates a map of the room, and stores it in an app. It also features a wet cleaning function and can be controlled via smartphone.
