TOP 10 robotic vacuum cleaners in 2018
iRobot Roomba 980
In our opinion, the iRobot Roomba 980 is considered the most reliable and functional robot vacuum cleaner in 2017-2018. The cost of this device is 54-58 thousand and we can say with confidence that the price is justified. If you choose this model of vacuum cleaner, the following options will be available for you:
- dry cleaning of rooms;
- automatic installation for recharging;
- battery operation for two hours;
- the robot can be controlled by phone;
- You can set the schedule mode;
- automatic increase in productivity when cleaning carpets.
Of course, on the forums you can also find some negative reviews about the iRobot Roomba 980, but they are not too weighty: there are difficulties in managing from a smartphone, it takes 120 minutes to charge (although similar models in the rating have the same or even less time) .
Neato Botvac D7 Connected
Next on the list is the new Neato Botvac D7 Connected model, which has twice as much memory compared to its predecessors and orientates itself with the highest accuracy in space thanks to a laser sensor. The device can be set on the diagram certain zones that it needs to clean, or where it should not go. Management, respectively, is from a smartphone. The traditional D-shape for Neato, as always, allows better collection of garbage in the corners and along the walls, the dirt collection efficiency itself is also significantly increased. For these and other advantages of a robot vacuum cleaner, you will have to pay about 62 thousand.
Okami t90
The next overall performance in our ranking is the Okami T90 robot with excellent equipment, which includes a separate Pet nozzle for cleaning pet hair and a dust container with a capacity of 1 liter. The robot vacuum cleaner is characterized by increased suction power, the presence of a system of intelligent sensors, an ultraviolet lamp, an advanced navigation system, cartography and a unique virtual wall. The cleaning robot also provides a wet cleaning unit, aromatization function and voice alerts and tips in Russian that inform about the current state of the device. In addition to high technical and functional parameters, the robot vacuum cleaner looks very elegant and attractive. Taking into account numerous advantages, the price for Okami T90 is only about 30 thousand, which is much less than for other robots from this rating. By the way, the Okami T90 model can also be controlled from the phone.
iClebo Omega
The fourth place in the list of the best robotic vacuum cleaners is occupied by the product of Yujin Robot company called iClebo Omega.
This robot has advanced corner cleaning technology, a streamlined navigation system and high suction power. Otherwise, all the most important functions are present, the case design is stylish, the build quality is at its best. The best option in its price category. Another worthy analogue to the 980th Irobot, only cheaper - in 2018, the price of iClebo Omega is 36-39 thousand.
Panda x5s
Panda X5S is a stylish, compact and well-equipped robot vacuum cleaner. It has good suction power, long-acting battery capacity, a navigation system (based on the operation of a gyroscope), a timer, the ability to connect a dual turbo brush and control through a mobile application. There is a wet cleaning function with auto-feeding liquid on a napkin and convenient voice alerts.
The cost of this robot is slightly less than that of the Okami T90, about 26 thousand. But the Panda X5S does not have a movement limiter in the delivery package, this is the only minor flaw. The rest of the model is quite popular, there are many good reviews about it and at the same time, the functionality and characteristics are at a fairly high level.
Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One
Chinese Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One with an average price of 27,500 is certainly one of the best of its kind. Among the advantages of the robot, I would like to separately mention a 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery, an adjustable suspension height, a laser range finder for high-quality orientation, a mapping function, automatic adaptation to different types of flooring, and control from a mobile phone. In addition to highly efficient dry floor cleaning, the Roborock Sweep One is capable of wet cleaning thanks to a separate liquid tank. The device pleases with a good filtration system and the ability to install the main brush.
A significant drawback of this model is the lack of service support and normal warranty service, which is very important when choosing a robot vacuum cleaner.
iRobot Roomba 895
Further in the ranking is again the model from iRobot Roomba 895 (890) for dry floor cleaning. The robot vacuum cleaner has wide functionality, modern intelligent software, programming the work schedule by day of the week and control from a mobile phone. The iRobot Roomba 895 robot is equipped with a double rubber turbo brush, anti-tangling system in wires and various sensors. The device is made in the best traditions of the manufacturer and costs about 30-33 thousand. Only dry cleaning is possible, like all representatives of the Rumba line.
Samsung VR10M7030WW
This model is also suitable for dry cleaning of any type of floor covering, including for thorough cleaning of carpets due to its high suction power and long main brush. The robot is distinguished by its design, a unique navigation system for orientation in the room and the technology of building a room map. You can control the work and make settings from a smartphone, but the remote control is also included in the kit for added convenience. The average price is 32,000, which is quite a lot. Among the minuses can be noted meager equipment, a small volume of the garbage container, a high noise level.
Philips FC8822 SmartPro Active
The penultimate place on the list is Philips FC8822 SmartPro Active with a powerful battery and an unusual three-stage surface cleaning system: a wide TriActiv XL nozzle without bristles, two side brushes with long brushes and three suction holes. Philips FC8822 has the ability to adapt to different types of floors and the ability to recognize contaminated areas. The delivery set of the robot vacuum cleaner is advanced, all technical parameters are also at a decent level. The cost of a smart robot vacuum cleaner is about 30 thousand.
GUTREND SMART 300
GUTREND SMART 300 robot completes today's rating. By its appearance, we can immediately say that this is a premium model. Technical characteristics, equipment and functions indicate the same: the vacuum cleaner has improved suction power, technology for selecting the optimal travel route, average noise level, as well as a three-stage filtration system.In addition, the device has 7 different operating modes, including a full wet cleaning (there is a separate tank for 300 ml of liquid). The cost of GUTREND SMART 300 is about 30,000. Significant disadvantages of the device include the lack of a control function through the application on the phone, as well as laser navigation and cartography.
To summarize, I would like to single out two models that not only work efficiently and are able to produce wet cleaning, but also most of all match their price - these are the Okami T90 and Panda X5S. You can also give preference to the model Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One, which is not much inferior to the leaders of our rating, and it costs much cheaper. As for the iRobot Roomba 980 and Neato, they are certainly the undisputed leaders, but they are also quite expensive. Not everyone can afford such robotic vacuum cleaners.

So we presented the rating of robotic vacuum cleaners. The best of the best models on this list will make a positive impression on you when cleaning. We ask you to leave your feedback if you already have experience in using these devices!
We also recommend that you read:
They write that iClebo is the best. Is it so?
Can a robot vacuum cleaner be considered a complete replacement for a conventional vacuum cleaner?
No Unfortunately.
I bought iClebo Arte on my own, as a cat (and wool) appeared in the house. Not to replace the main Dyson. I needed the programmed vacuum cleaner to collect pet hair once a day without my participation.
I have, iClebo Omega, from the manufacturer Yujin Robot. This is new, so no review, but sorry. My robot has a brushless turbo motor with high efficiency and it has no equal today. The thrust, like a vacuum cleaner and a broadsword, even collects sand. And SLAM navigation technology allows you to create a cleaning schedule. He simultaneously scans and builds a map of the premises. Cleans thoroughly, while not losing or missing sections. In front of the furniture, it brakes smoothly and does not get stuck anywhere. Its base is located in the center of the wall, so it is always parked the first time)
I asked my husband for a long time for a robot vacuum cleaner))) for three years, probably, there was talk about it. But the husband didn’t want to dump 40–50 thousand at once, but the fact that it was cheaper was somehow not very impressive! As a result, I somehow accidentally saw an I-net, saw an info about Genio, and decided to study it. From the reviews and descriptions, I concluded that it might be a good option for us. especially since with good functionality, the cost of these vacuum cleaners is from 7 to 20 thousand. my husband and I agreed on a mid-range model - and not the cheapest, and not expensive. We are very satisfied! works quietly, garbage collects with a bang. Now I understand that it was necessary not to save, but to buy the next model in the lineup - then there would also be wet cleaning)))))
Owners of robotic vacuum cleaners, tell me: how much charge is there in your vacuum cleaner? manages to clean the apartment on a single charge or do you need to "feed"?
I can tell you about my own story - Genio Lite 120. My robot, on the whole, has enough charge for a long time, although we took a model-simple, simple, without any frills - just to collect garbage efficiently. If we talk in numbers, then somewhere around 50 squares overpower. In general, you need to look at which apartment you have
I see. Thanks! This, probably, will not suit us, like you. We have more than 60 square meters ((((Here the wife complains that it’s hard for her to manually vacuum them ...
Well, the same manufacturer also has cooler models with a much larger battery capacity. They are controlled by voice, and they do wet cleaning, and turn on according to the schedule. In short, a lot of things. Take a look at the official website.I think your wife will certainly appreciate such concern for her)))
Thanks, I'll think )))
but I don’t have my vacuum cleaner ((((I have a Genio Profi 260. and it, by the way, will be better than many promoted brands! and the price is quite affordable! you can quite afford to buy it! and this despite the fact that it has a lot of functions, several cleaning modes, including wet, and even a UV lamp. I hope in the next review the authors of my robot will describe))))
I'm crazy with modern technology! )))) Well, how does my robot vacuum cleaner manage to find where it's clean and where it's dirty? sometimes it directly seems that he is alive))) understands everything, reacts to the voice, knows when to charge him, when to turn on! I wish my family listened to me like that and helped me like this device! )))))) I’ve never regretted that we took the model more expensive - Genio Profi 370. but it really knows how to! paraphrasing the heroes of “Prostokvashino”, I can say “I would have known before that there are such vacuum cleaners, I might have never married”))))))
And at the beginning of the year we bought the Okami S90, which is also a novelty, which is probably why it is not here. They are very happy with a vacuum cleaner, with an apartment of 65 sq.m. copes with a bang. There is programming for cleaning time, very convenient. And most importantly, NORMAL owning cleaning. I don’t know how he does it, but when he stops, he blocks the water supply and it does not pour out) when they bought, most of all he really worried about it. As a result, we are very pleased to refresh the floor in the apartment and pick up fine dust
I’ve already become akin to my vacuum cleaner, as I can imagine, if I don’t have it, how much time I will have to devote to cleaning ... I have, in general, 2 cats in the apartment, a lot of wool that can be absolutely everywhere! Before, I cleaned myself almost every day, and after my friends gave me a Robot vacuum cleaner Genio lite 120, you can forget about cleaning)) About once a week I do a wet cleaning, and so my assistant copes with everything. Well, and so, the vacuum cleaner itself is very compact, does its job well, does not make much noise, although cats are not afraid)
And I look, many are now switching to robotic vacuum cleaners. I did not even think that they are so popular. He himself only recently learned about this new product, but it turns out - already half of the population has it. I also took Genio. On the one hand, I have read reviews, because people praise them. And on the other hand, I just liked the functionality for the announced price. For example, I have a Profi 260 model. And I am very pleased. I saw similar vacuum cleaners of other TMs - I don’t understand, why do those manufacturers take that kind of money? I've been convinced from my own experience that the quality of my robot is no worse. at least that the manufacturer promised what functions are listed - he does it all.
They didn’t know what to give their friends as a birthday present, they thought for a long time, but settled on a robot vacuum cleaner, because they have a house cat so fluffy, all the time a lot of wool flies around the apartment. They decided that they would be very happy with this gift and which they would really use. We selected several models from Genio, but settled on this, the design of this vacuum cleaner robot is stylish, it is compact and has very good functionality, absolutely everything is provided for such a robot. Modes, nozzles, a 2-hour battery, there is a cleaning timer for weeks. The gift, it’s over, friends were very happy, the other day they were at home, they say that this is the best gift they have ever been given)) Well, really, they’ve come, but the vacuum cleaner works, it doesn’t make much noise, and it’s clean now all the time)) We also think to take it later, when we deal with the apartment.
And we have Genio. only the youngest in the line of Lite 120. Did not see the point of overpaying. Just to drive and dust sucked. You will still have to clean the floors and dirt under the sofas with your hands. So why buy super-duper expensive models? Although, of course, if we took the next model in the line from the same manufacturer, it would be nice. She’s already returning to base. But it costs more. After all, we met 7 thousand ...
about! and here I watch a lot of those who have genio robots. Tell me, is it just my wet cleaning model that deluxe 370 slows down? And then I’m happy with everything: both the quality of cleaning and the functions. Only this one moment also confuses!
you probably wet a cloth too much. It is not necessary that water flow directly from it. Let it be just wet. otherwise it’s hard for a robot to cope with it 🙂
hmm! Well, maybe it was very wetting, of course. somehow did not bother at this moment) I will pay attention now!
I'm sorry to wedge myself, but I really want to ask, based on your experience: is it worth taking this model for a turbo brush? Are you using And then if it is not much and needed, I'll take it cheaper
if there are carpets, then 100% must be taken. with a brush, the quality of cleaning is significantly improved, and if only laminate or linoleum, then it will not be very useful to you. Although I would take this model and not only for the turbo brush. there are many other useful options here. cleaning schedule, for example, set ...
I have a FOXCLEANER® AIR robot, which is described above, but already newer, version 2 in blue. I confirm that the device is excellent, it sucks very well and the movements are not stupid, it goes around everything and cleans perfectly! It was important for us to find the best option price - quality. I think that everything happened with the choice, as it should.
In jeans comments - Genio advertising company, be careful
Apparently yes) well, we provided our rating, it has really good robotic vacuum cleaners!
