So, ideally you will still want to run your regular vacuum every so often, while the robot vacuum helps keep dust down in the interim. By keeping on top of the light debris, you won’t need to use your full-sized vacuum so often.

If none of the robot vacuums above take your fancy, here are some other models worth considering. These robovacs all scored highly on test, but just didn't quite make our main guide.

While pelo robot can handle stairs or pick up ground-in dirt and debris as well as a manual vacuum (yet!), the top performers in our tests do have impressive pickup scores on hard floors and low-pile carpets.

For premium cleaning performance at an affordable price, the iLife V3s Pro vacuum provides excellent value. It picks up all kinds of debris and navigates with ease. It lacks smart home features, but the included remote control works well.

This prevents any water from dripping onto fabrics. But for the price it is a hassle to have to manually remove and wash the mop after each cleaning session.

Most robot vacuum models can easily handle cleaning both carpets and hardwood, but some are better at cleaning one or the other. Higher-end robot vacuums such as the Roomba J9+ Combo can accommodate rapid surface changes by folding its mop pad atop itself and ramping up power whenever carpet is detected, and then throttling back down when it senses hardwood.

Lefant M210 robot vacuum automatically returns to the charging station when the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery gets low.

This Roomba is designed to keep going and is ideal if you prioritise hands-free cleaning on mixed surfaces.

Carolyn Forté, the Good Housekeeping Institute's Home Care and Cleaning Lab executive director, has over quarenta years of experience testing and writing about all kinds of vacuums. For this roundup, she oversaw all of Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners the testing conducted by Lynn Redmile, the testing and product review analyst who conducted our Lab's last full category test of robot vacuums where three of the picks on this list came from.

Your robot vacuum will go for any cables, loose shoelaces and cords if they're out and in their route of cleaning. No permanent damage will be done, but you will have to clear these away to avoid the issue occurring again.

The Shark IQ can be controlled via an app as well as with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can create a schedule and connect it to smart home devices. It even has mapping features of more expensive robot vacuums so you can mark individual rooms as well as set invisible boundaries called Pelo-Go zones.

A robot that doesn't map will just bump around the objects in your home as it cleans and may miss spots or even entire rooms. You won’t be able to view the robot’s cleaning route, send the robot to clean a specific room or spot (more on that below) or set up pelo-go zones.
