The robot vacuum that finally earned a spot in our home
We've tested a dozen. This is the first one we stopped fighting with and just let do its job.

Most robot vacuums promise hands-off cleaning and quietly deliver hands-on frustration. This one is the rare exception.
After three weeks of daily runs across hardwood, tile and a shedding dog, it mapped the house once and never got lost again — no rescue missions from under the couch.
What we liked
- Accurate mapping that actually remembers rooms
- Genuinely quiet on the low setting
- Self-empties for weeks at a time
What we didn't
- The app nags you to buy accessories
- Thick rugs still trip it occasionally
VerdictThe first robot vacuum we'd recommend without a list of caveats. If you want set-and-forget floors, this is the one to beat.
