As us humans become lazier, cleaning the house becomes the robots responsibility, as in robotic vacuum cleaners, so good they’re almost as important as another family member.

And to be sure you pick the right one for your needs, we dug deep and came with the results that will make your life a lot easier, and your home a lot cleaner: The 5 best robotic vacuum cleaners for you to buy, taking performance, weight, price and good looks into consideration, giving you excellence along with value and most importantly, cleanliness.

#1 Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner: iRobot Roomba 880 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Why is it the best? The iRobot Roomba 880 is better than a human being with the best standard vacuum. Simple as that. It’s light, easy to clean, and pretty much gets everything.

In our opinion and according to almost every review on Amazon, the iRobot Roomba 880 vacuum cleaner is pretty much the perfect device to keep your place looking sparkling clean. It gets under the bed, it doesn’t leave batches of dust unchecked and different surfaces in the house don’t get in its way of getting the job done. Buy it on Amazon.

#2: Crenova Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Why is it in the top 5? Based on the wisdom of the masses, it’s on of the few robot vacuum cleaner with a 5-star review rating that isn’t something bought on rare occasions.

The combination of its price ($299 currently) and its performance makes the Crenova a-close-to-perfect cleaning addition to your home. It does a great job of avoiding obstacles, getting on (and off) rugs and has no problem accurately mapping the home and its rooms, making it was back to the docking station when it’s time to recharge. And for people with pets: It’s wonderful at taking care of that too, unlike some lesser vacuum robots that struggle with that kind of denisty. Buy it on Amazon.

#3: iRobot Roomba 650 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Why is it in the top 5? It’s the #1 best selling robotic vacuum cleaner on Amazon, and that doesn’t happen just because of brand name or good looks.

The Roomba 650 works great on all surfaces: Carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate & more. Out of all the devices on this list, it’s probably the best equipped to handle dog fur and pet hair in general, despite not having ‘pet’ in the title. It’s a tad heavy compared to the Roomba 880 and it might occasionally get stuck on a difficult rug. Besides that, it’s a terrific purchase. Buy it now.

#4: bObi Pet Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Why is in the top 5? One reason is practical: the bObi is terrific when it comes to handling pets. One reason is superficial: Its scarlet version just looks great.

Most robotic vacuum cleaners come in black or a very dark color. However, the bObi Pet Robotic Vacuum cleaner can come in scarlet or silver, with the scarlet version my personal favorite. But forget about the colors: It does an amazing job not just with dirt, dust and pet hair. It also gets rid of pet paw prints which are underrated when it comes to cleaning difficulty. For those who plan on calling them up to complain about something, the customer service, if there’s actually a problem, is terrific. Buy it now.

#5: ILIFE V3s Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Why is in the top 5? For its price range, you’re not going to find anything that comes remotely close in terms of performances.

The ILIFE V3s vacuum is the lightest in the group, only 4.5 pounds. It’s the only one, with or without a discount, that comes at a price of under $200. It needs a few runs to map out the house and avoid getting stuck in, on and under places, but it learns from mistakes. In about a week it won’t need you to rescue it anymore. It’ll get under pretty much anything and do a fantastic job with pet hair. Simple to use, and a lot more affordable than other, inferior options. Buy it on Amazon.

First Runner-Up: ECOVACS Deebot N78 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

The Deebot N78, like the ILIFE V3, belongs to a group of less expensive robot vacuums. That doesn’t make it inferior. Its mopping attachment is probably the only thing that could use an upgrade, leaving things wet-clean and not clean-clean. It didn’t make it in because it struggles with stuff that’s a bit sticky and sticks hard to the floor. Other than that, it’s an excellent product. Buy it now.

Second Runner-Up: bObsweep PetHair Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

As I’ve said before, I love robotic vacuums with color options, and the bObsweep vacuum has a rouge and a more expensive champagne exterior. It’s specifically designed to clean up pet hair and paw prints, and does a very good job at that. It also has a 1-liter dustbin, which just might be the largest in the robot vacuum industry, at least according to bObsweep, who also have terrific customer service. Two minor minuses (keeping it out of the top 5)” It has a tendency to get stuck on loose chords, and a slightly difficult-to-learn scheduling system. It’s probably the perfect vacuum for apartments that don’t have too many things to get in the way of cleaning. Buy it on Amazon.

To Summarize

Basically, you can’t go wrong here, no matter which robotic vacuum cleaner you buy. These are all fantastic products (some better than others) that will keep your house clean without too much maintenance. The iRobot Roomba 880 is the best and costs like one as well, but it covers all the angles and problems you might have. Some people love a massive bin so they don’t have to clean the vacuum too often. For that purpose, go with the bObsweep Pethair robotic vacuum. And if pets are really the issue, I’m split between two: The iRobot Roomba 650 or the bObi pet robotic vacuum cleaner. You’ll be very pleased with both. The end result, with all of these vacuums, will be having a much cleaner home, and one less thing to worry about.
