Xiaomi RoboRock Sweep One

Great navigation ; Low profile ; Mopping function useful for hard floors

Can miss clumps of dirt ; No voice control via Alexa

A surprisingly cheap robot vacuum cleaner that has proper navigation and mopping, but it lacks a bit of polish.

Effective 2D and 3D mapping ; Can spot-clean zones ; 4 levels of suction

No auto-empty sensor ; US only

The Roborock Q5+ robot cleaner with charging dock arrives with powerful 2700Pa suction for cleaning hard floors and carpet. Its 2.5-liter dust bag in the dock will see you through an average of seven weeks of vacuuming without needing to be emptied...

Affordable ; Intelligent cleaning features ; Mopping capabilities ; Smart real-time mapping ; Large capacity dustbin ; Washable filters ; Easy to use

Occasional problems resulting from mounting objects in its path ; Not as easy on the eye as some other bots ; Less advanced mapping than S5

The Roborock Xiaowa E25 is another robot vacuum cleaner with plenty of smart features, excellent cleaning power and intelligence to boot. It's affordable, capable and full of surprises.

Maps in 2D and 3D ; Many options for customizing cleaning jobs ; Self-empties dustbin when it returns to its dock

Can’t initiate spot cleaning from Roborock app ; Users must manually initiate auto-emptying when dustbin is full ; Editing maps can be challenging

Thorough and methodical cleaning ; Room scanning and mapping ; Quick and quiet

No virtual no-go lines ; Mop facility isn't particularly effective

For my money, in fact, if even outdoes the superb Eufy 30C for effectiveness, features and value for money and makes it onto our list of favourites robot as the best budget robot vacuum cleaner around.

Vacuums and mops ; Powerful suction pulls up pet hair ; App stores and displays real-time cleaning data

Frequent erroneous obstacle messages interrupt cleaning ; Requires mag strips (not included) to prevent it from wetting carpets ; Can't differentiate between carpet and hard-surface floors

The Xiaowa Plus E35 is a competent cleaner with excellent app control. Its large dustbin and crazy long battery life make it ideal for large rooms, and its uncommonly strong suction power is superb for extracting pet hair and other debris from carpet...

Room scanning sensor stops high speed bumps ; Powerful suction motor ; Easily transitions from flooring to carpets

No remote control ; Hard to connect to app on some phones

Cleans the mop during and after room cleaning. ; The mop scrubs and will lift out of the way when going over carpet/rugs. ; Dries the mop ; It has clean and dirty water tanks. ; The app reminds you when it is time to replace used parts and clean the...

It would be cool if it could directly connect to a water source and drain. ; Pretty darn expensive.

While the isn't the best in terms of raw cleaning power and performs very poorly at picking up pet hair, it is by far the best of these products at navigating throughout your home and is a perfect choice if you have a more cluttered home or more...
