How we rank
The same rules for every brand, every day. No brand or store can pay its way up.
A robot enters the ranking only after a cleaning test. 138 have been tested so far.
A discount can’t lift a model. The price sits beside the score, checked every morning at 6 stores.
60% of the score is measured cleaning: carpet, pet hair, mopping, obstacles and navigation.
25% comes from owners’ star ratings at the stores that ship to you, 15% from the facts the maker states.
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.
The picks of RTINGS, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, Vacuum Wars, and Wirecutter sit next to our score, so you can see where they agree.
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 September 25, 2026 | Roborock Saros 10R | rank 12 of 94 with an all-in-one station |
| TechRadar ↗list as of September 25, 2026 | Roborock Qrevo Curv | rank 30 of 94 with an all-in-one station |

| Vacuum Wars ↗list as of September 26, 2026 | MOVA V70 Ultra Complete | rank 8 of 94 with an all-in-one station |
| Wirecutter ↗list as of August 4, 2026 | Roborock Q7 M5+ | rank 18 of 24 with a self-emptying 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.
The models in our ranking run from about $399 to $1,599 today. We show the lowest verified price of the day per model, shipping included, before sales tax.
No robot vacuum you can buy today is banned. On July 28, 2026 the FCC added foreign-produced “advanced robotic devices”, mobile robots, to its Covered List (Public Notice DA 26-786). Its fact sheet says this does not affect devices people already own, and does not stop stores from selling or importing models the FCC authorized before. What it stops is a new foreign-made model getting FCC authorization without a Conditional Approval from the Department of War. A waiver (DA 26-789) keeps software and firmware updates coming for authorized devices until at least January 1, 2029. The FCC told CNET and PCMag the listing covers robot vacuums. We read the FCC’s documents on September 27, 2026. The FCC’s public notice (PDF)
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, a self-emptying station is enough.

Every day, at every store we follow. We read the prices from the stores’ own product feeds and web stores. 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 store: how and how often
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.
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.
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.
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.
