How we rank
Six rules every robot is ranked by
The same rules for every brand, every day. No brand or shop can pay its way up.
Tested, or not ranked
A robot enters the ranking only after a cleaning test. 104 have been tested so far.
Price never counts
A discount can’t lift a model. The price sits beside the score, checked every morning at 23 shops.
Cleaning weighs most
60% of the score is measured cleaning: carpet, pet hair, mopping, obstacles and navigation.
Owners and makers have a say
25% comes from owners’ star ratings at the shops that deliver to you, 15% from the facts the maker states.
Thin evidence counts less
The fewer tests behind a result, the more we pull it toward the average of its station type, so one lucky run can’t top the list.
Reviewers shown, not blended
The picks of RTINGS, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, Vacuum Wars and Wirecutter sit next to our score, so you can see where they agree.
4 tests, 4 different winners
The number one on the main list of each test we follow, and where that model stands in our ranking. Their picks are shown beside our score and do not count in it.
| Test | Their number one | With us |
|---|---|---|
| RTINGS ↗list as of 25 September 2026 | Roborock Saros 10R | rank 9 of 73 with an all-in-one station |
| TechRadar ↗list as of 25 September 2026 | Roborock Qrevo Curv | rank 25 of 73 with an all-in-one station |
| Tom's Guide ↗list as of 25 September 2026 | Dreame X60 Pro Ultra Complete | rank 3 of 73 with an all-in-one station |
| Vacuum Wars ↗list as of 26 September 2026 | MOVA V70 Ultra Complete | rank 6 of 73 with an all-in-one station |
The main list is a test’s overall top list, not its lists for a budget, pets or carpet, which we show too. The date is the day we last read the list.
Frequently asked questions
What does a good robot vacuum cost in the Netherlands?
The models in our ranking run from about € 160 to € 1,699 today. A robot with an auto-empty station costs from € 160 today, one with an all-in-one station that also washes the mop from € 279. We show the lowest verified price of the day per model, VAT and delivery included.
Is an all-in-one station worth the money?
It saves maintenance: the station empties the bin, washes the mop and dries it, often for weeks without you touching anything. You pay for that in money and in floor space, because such a station is large. With mostly hard floors and little room, an auto-empty station is enough.

How often do you update the prices?
Every day, at every shop we follow. We read the prices from the shops’ own product feeds and web shops. We check them for errors and keep them, so every product page shows what a price did over the last 90 days. We only call a discount real when the price also sits below the level of the preceding 30 days. We link to Amazon too, but show no Amazon price until we read it through Amazon’s own API. Until then the price is on Amazon itself. Per shop: how and how often
What does suction in pascal mean?
Pascal is the pressure the robot can build, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot lifts grit off a hard floor: the brush, the airflow and the route matter more there. That is why we lean on test-site results rather than on the number alone.
How does a robot vacuum work?
It drives through the house by itself and sweeps dirt with spinning brushes towards a suction inlet, which pulls it into a bin inside the robot. With a laser (LiDAR) or a camera it maps your home, so it works in lanes and knows where it has been. Sensors keep it off the stairs and steer it around obstacles. When the run is done or the battery runs low, it drives back to its station to charge. A station can also empty the bin and, as an all-in-one station, wash the mop.
How long does a robot vacuum last?
Years, if you look after it. Brushes, filters and mop pads wear and are replaced now and then, and the battery holds less charge over time and can be replaced on many models. How long exactly differs by model and by use. So when buying, look at the warranty too, and at whether parts and a new battery are sold separately. When the maker states a warranty, it is listed with the model’s specifications.
Whose tests we use
The test-site part of our score comes from the measured tests of Just A Dad Approved and Vacuum Wars.
Beside each model we also show where these testers place it in their own lists, without counting it in the score:
How we combine test-site results, owners’ ratings and facts into one score is on the method page.
