This review has been updated 22 times since it was first published in April of 2016. Whether you consider robotic cleaners a small price to pay or labor-saving devices only for the rich and famous, scrubbing floors the old-fashioned way is a laborious chore most of us could do without. Robo mops have come a long way in the last few years, and prices have come down, too, so handing over this dirty job to one of these automated helpers may be worth the cost to many. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.

10. Albohes E30B
The Albohes E30B (around $220) has some smart features that can make it more effective or less intrusive, depending on your needs. For example, you can set it to its “ultra suction” mode if your floor is very dirty or switch to the “quiet” mode if you’re at home while it’s running.
- Long-lasting brushless motor
- Fits under most furniture
- Dirt receptacle isn't very large

9. iRobot Braava Jet M6

- You can set virtual boundaries
- Links with roomba vacuums
- Struggles with floor transitions

8. iLife V8s
The iLife V8s (appx. $200) is especially effective at sucking up pet hair, so if you have a dog or cat it is a good choice. Those who don’t want to deal with an app will like that it has physical buttons for choosing cleaning modes and an LCD to keep you abreast of its status.
- Returns to its base automatically
- Dust bin is easy to empty
- Can't be programmed with no-go zones

7. iLife Shinebot W400
The iLife Shinebot W400 (appx. $250) utilizes a four-step process to get your floors clean. It starts by spraying its path with water to loosen grime, then it scrubs the surface with a microfiber roller, sucks up the dirty liquid, and removes any residue with a rubber scraper.
- Separates clean and dirty water
- Area spot and edge modes
- Doesn't recharge itself

6. Ecovacs Deebot 661
In addition to using the associated app, you can control the Ecovacs Deebot 661 (appx. $190) with the included remote. It offers 110 minutes of run time per charge, which should be enough for most homes, and has a “max” mode that doubles its suction power when needed.
- Anti-drop and anti-collision sensors
- Traverses thresholds well
- Doesn't detect carpet automatically

5. Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920
The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920 (about $450) can vacuum and mop simultaneously, making it an efficient option that can clean your floors in half the time of many other models. You can adjust both the suction power and water level, too, to pick up heavy debris and remove stubborn grime.
- Smart navigation
- Multi-floor mapping
- Voice control support


4. Dibea DT966
The shape of the Dibea DT966 (appx. $240) makes it better at getting all the dust and dirt out of corners than circular models. It has a scratch-resistant, tempered glass cover that should keep it looking like new and, at just three inches tall, it can get under most furniture.
- 350 ml water reservoir
- Programmable scheduling
- Sensors prevent it falling off drops

3. Roborock S5

- Washable strainer
- Two water tank filters
- Variable-speed brushes on the sides

2. iRobot Braava Jet 240
The small profile of the iRobot Braava Jet 240 (about $169) makes it a great choice for cleaning in tight spaces, as it can get at tough-to-reach areas, like between furniture and around toilets, that larger models can’t. It also comes in at a budget-friendly price.
- Includes sweeping and mopping pads
- Vibrating head for stubborn dirt
- Suitable for all hard floor types

1. Roborock S6
Boasting a 180-minute run time, the Roborock S6 (about $650) should be able to thoroughly cover most homes on a single charge. Conveniently, you can use the companion app to setup no-go and selective cleaning zones without having to deal with magnetic tape or accessories.

- Powerful suction
- Just 56 decibels of noise
