Eufy RoboVac 11

Top Pro

Performance is on par with high-end models

The Robovac 11 offers excellent cleaning for the low price: it easily deals with dust, dirt, crumbs, pet hair, and other debris. It can also clean rugs and carpets. In short, it will keep your home clean no less than some significantly more expensive robots would. See More

Top Con

It's quite basic

There aren't any features that would make this robot stand out with its performance or user experience. It doesn't have an app, integrations with a virtual assistant, or even a remote, all of which we expect from a modern robotic vacuum. See More

Specs

Battery Life:90 min

Height:3"

Self-charging:Yes

Top Pro

Excellent battery life

This vacuum can work for 1.5 hours on one charge; most robots in this price range last for 60 minutes at most. See More

Top Pro

It's a great option for allergic people

The Robovac 11 has HEPA filters that very effectively dispose of dust particles and other pollutants that often have an adverse effect on your health. See More

Top Pro

The navigation works very well

You can leave this robot working on its own without worrying that it will get stuck or fall down the stairs. It's equipped with infrared sensors that help it detect and avoid obstacles and sudden drops. It also has a low clearance - 3 inches - that lets it get clean the furniture without getting stuck.

ILIFE V3s

Top Pro

Offers great value

The ILIFE V3s is one of the most competitively priced robot vacuums on the market. It costs just a fraction of what you would pay for a high-end device, yet it provides much of the same level of tidiness. See More

Top Con

Bad at collecting pet hair

Without any bristled or rubber rollers on it, the ILIFE V3s struggles to pick up pet hair. See More

Specs

Battery Life:90 min

Height:3"

Self-charging:Yes

Top Pro

Can mop the floors

This is one of the few robot cleaners that can be used to mop the floor thanks to the attachable microfiber cloth. An additional benefit is that you're not required to soak it in water manually, as it's designed for dry mopping. See More

Top Con

Has trouble navigating big areas

It lacks a camera that would help it create a map of the area. So if you let this robot go over a particularly big route, it will most likely get lost on the way back to the charging station. See More

Top Pro

Can clean under the furniture

It has a low clearance height of just 3 inches, meaning this robot can easily crawl under furniture to clean there. See More

Top Con

Does not have a way to control where it goes

There is no way to prevent this robot from entering unwanted areas besides using physical barriers. If you don't put up a baby gate or a large obstacle, it could wander into your kids' room and start overturning all the toys or knock over your pet's food. See More

Top Pro

Extremely simple to use

You can create a schedule for the iRobot to clean at a certain time of the day, for example, while you're at work. After cleaning, it will automatically return to the charging station. See More
