10 Best Robot Vacuums UK 2024 | iRobot, Roborock and More

This one might take up a little more room than your average robot vacuum, but trust us, it's worth it. You see, its charging station is also a large depository, so theoretically, you won't need to change the bin for months at a time. This feature is usually saved for the most expensive models, and while this is not a budget buy, it's not at the very top end. 

That's not all, as you can expect a range of programmable features that will see the device work where, when and however you would like it to. Further, we also like the contemporary design and how quiet it is. With the i7+, you're getting a lot of tech for a mid-range price, and for that reason, this is our top recommendation. 

Roborock are one of the market leaders in the robot vacuum sphere, and for good reason. The S6 MaxV, in particular, is a fantastic hoover and mop combo that uses two cameras and LiDAR to quickly map your home and is able to store multiple different floor plans.

Some of the AI is really something else too – the camera can take pictures of obstacles, upload them to the app and even identify them for you. So, if you've still not managed to find that long-lost slipper, it might be worth sending this under the couch. Most importantly, though, it also cleans very well. 

Here we have our most economical option, so if you're looking for a product that won't require a dip into the rainy day funds or too long of a saving-up process, this might be perfect for you. The device can be powered from either a smartphone or virtual assistant and works quietly for up to 100 minutes. 

Moreover, it uses BoostIQ technology to interpret the terrain it's cleaning, switching quickly (around 1.5 seconds) depending on whether it's on a carpet or hard floor. It has a slightly lower suction power than higher-end models, but for a budget option, you really do get a lot. 

One of the biggest drawers of the Proscenic 850T is the ease of use and uncomplicated set-up: simply download the app, select your model and you're off. There are other control options too, such as Alexa or Google Assistant, but if you're not interested in all things smart, then there's also a remote.

The device works quickly and methodically and, depending on what mode you have it on (silent, standard or powerful) it can clean for up to 150 minutes at a time. One of the clever aspects is that the device will automatically adjust the power depending on what surface it's cleaning, so you won't have to always keep an eye on it. 

Okay, we know we said earlier that the runtime isn't overly critical unless you have a large house, but when a product can take things to new levels, we should celebrate it. So, well done Ecovacs! In the Deebot T8, they've created the longest-lasting robot vacuum we've come across at 200 minutes. 

It has numerous other appealing features for houses of all sizes too, namely, that it can mop your floor as well as vacuum, and very well at that. Now, you might be worried about this if you have carpets and hard flooring, but fear not, thanks to the detection technology, it will avoid this. 

This nifty appliance's claim is that it disturbs dust, not people. Using its smart dynamic navigation system and strong suction, the vacuum will methodically – yet quietly – make its way around your home, picking up across all surfaces and giving you noticeably cleaner floors. It manages different terrains well thanks to the large wheels.

Furthermore, it also comes with both smart assistant capability and our three favourite features: programmable times, auto docking when the battery level is low and drop-sensing technology. Unfortunately, the WiFi connection is known to drop out now and then, so you might want to keep an eye out for that.

It has to be said, the Neato Robotics D701 Intelligent Robot Vacuum has some really cool features. One that we especially like is the intuitive app, which allows you to draw no-go lines to ensure that your robot will avoid certain areas while cleaning. 

In addition to that, this appliance also has an innovative shape with a flat side that allows the vacuum to get right into corners and edges, leaving no part of the floor untouched. One thing to look out for is that the sensor is rather, well, sensitive. Apparently, if you have it on in bright sunlight, it can become discombobulated and end up a little lost. 

Vacuuming the floor is handy and all, but what if you had a machine that could take care of it all? Enter the Coredy R750+, which sweeps, hovers and mops for complete floor maintenance. Plus, it's also one of the slimmest and quietest appliances around.

You can control this smart machine by using both the app and your voice through Alexa. Unlike with some of the older models, this the R750+ does include a water tank and cleaning mop cloth. 

The S6 from forward-thinking company Xiaomi (who have now teamed up with Roborock) is feature for feature, a great value option for a mop and hoover combo. A particular highlight is the precision laser navigation system, which means effective mapping and maximum area coverage. 

It also offers powerful suction, which many users report is great for pet hair, and the ability to be controlled manually, via the app or with your smart assistant. Surprisingly for a tech brand, the app is known for not being the easiest to use nor the most intuitive, but hopefully, this will change with updates. 

Commencing the ranking today, we have this robot cleaner from a very trusted name in the hoover game, Dyson. It has the powerful suction you'd expect, up-to-date features and builds a tremendously accurate map of your home whilst having a memory that is 32 times higher than its predecessor. 

However, there are a couple of setbacks. Firstly, this is a rather chunky unit that measures a whopping 18 cm in height, so it's not exactly nimble at getting around. Secondly, it'll cost you the best part of a bag of sand, which is usually enough to put most people off.
