The scope for robot vacuums and manual ones is different, and one cannot replace the other. Their ability to deliver spotless cleaning, the types of brushes they are compatible with, their programmable cleaning modes, the capacity of the dust canisters, battery life, and the cost are the main features that make a vacuum cleaner desirable to many. However, robot vacuums are a boon when it comes to cleaning floors, particularly large spaces. Smart sensor technology, infrared sensors, laser-guided scanners, cameras, dirt sensors, and even remote controls guide these robot vacuums. Here are the top robot vacuums that you should be buying:

1. Roborock S6 MaxV

This is a robot vacuum that is both functional and financially reasonable. It has modern features and can clean any floor with utmost ease. It maps the area quickly, automatically detects carpets and obstacles, and comes with a large dustbin. An advanced model, the Roborock S6 MaxV has onboard cameras and has both vacuuming and mopping capabilities. The mop from S6 is safe for ceramic, vinyl, and stone floors. It has a tasteful design, and picks up pet hair and litter too. You can easily set up maps, mark rooms, and direct the robot vacuum to clean specific areas. The Roborock is sold exclusively on Amazon. It costs about $750 and is compatible with Alexa.

2. Shark Ion R85
