When it comes to finding the best vacuums on Amazon, our editors are seasoned pros. We've been testing every model on the market from the most sought-after cordless vacuums to robot vacuums for years now, including longtime best-sellers as well as new and notable picks from names like Dyson, Levoit, and Eufy.
Combined with an RGB camera to detect visible messes and obstacles, the UV light lets the vacuum spot stains that aren't visible under normal lighting, such as pet urine. When it encounters dirt, visible or not, the robot uses onboard AI to identify and decide how to clean it.
Upright Vacuums: These corded vacuums are the most traditional. They work for hardwoods and carpets and most of the Shark ones come with hoses and nozzle attachments for extra mobile cleaning, reaching high or hard to reach areas. Plus, they are corded so you never have to charge them, etc. On the negative side, they are heavy and you are tied down to a power outlet.
My favorite feature on a robot vacuum is hands-down the roller mop. I bought my first Roborock seven years ago, and its microfiber mop pad was a game-changer for me as a busy mom with a toddler and baby, even if I had to wash it a couple of times during a cleaning session. Little did I know that I'd test Roborock's first roller mop robot nearly a decade later.
I, let's be clear, am not. But I can share what it's like to make the jump from an entry-level model to one of these multifunctional combo units, something I imagine many Verge readers have considered. To say I'm impressed by the performance of the drone maker's first and best robot vacuum is an understatement. But I'm also not convinced anyone should spend over $2,000 for the DJI Romo P, regardless of how much I like its transparent looks.
