The level of competition in this niche is quite high.

The rating is compiled for those who want to buy a good robot vacuum cleaner and not overpay.

Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S

The model was presented last spring and is an improved version Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner... Made in the minimalist style of Xiaomi - a white plastic washer with orange inserts and two gray mechanical buttons. Why first place? There are 3 arguments here:

Camera-based navigation with LDS sensor. The robot builds a map of the room, you can set up virtual walls.
Application control, friendly with voice assistants Mi Home, Yandex Smart Home.
Suction power 2000 Pascals

In terms of characteristics, the model is slightly better than its predecessor - built-in 4-core Cortex a35 processor, 0.42L dust collector, up to 2.5 hours of battery life. When the battery level is low, the vacuum cleaner returns to the docking station.

Price from 20 00 rubles. One of the best robot vacuum cleaners on the market. The recommendation of 96% of Yandex Market users confirms this thesis. The main jamb - no wet cleaning. The model has no more flaws. If you need wet cleaning, you can see the models from the rating below.

iRobot Roomba 676

Manufactured by a renowned American robotics manufacturer. Second place, because navigation and suction power are an order of magnitude worse than that of Xiaomi 1S. The dimensions are identical. weighs 800 grams. less, while the capacity of the container for collecting dust is 180 milliliters more. Features:

The patented three-level cleaning system - a paddle brush sweeps debris out of hard-to-reach places, two main brushes rotating in opposite directions rake it into the bin, a HEPA filter retains dust and small particles.

Anti-confusion system. When running over threads, wires, light fabric, in order to avoid entanglement, the brushes stop and are activated again, when the vacuum cleaner passes the "difficult area".

Equipped with all modern infrared and ultrasonic sensors - it sees obstacles, does not fall from a height, recognizes particularly dirty areas, activating the turbo mode.It is controlled from a smartphone via the iRobot HOME application with quite wide capabilities - power adjustment, harvesting map, weekly cleaning programming. Can work in Google Home system, supports Amazon and Alexa. Built-in Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh, cleaning time up to 60 minutes, return to the docking station at low charge and at the end of cleaning.

pros

Design, black color, non-marking plastic.
Accurate building of the room map.
Large dust container.
High quality cleaning.
Recognition of particularly dirty places.
Anti-confusion system.
Convenient smartphone control.
Scheduling cleaning for the week (different cleaning options for each day).
Certified service centers in the Russian Federation, a year of full warranty.

Minuses

No wet cleaning.
Equipment;
Too light base, the vacuum cleaner knocks it down when moving;
Mediocre autonomy - 60 minutes may not be enough to clean the entire apartment.

An easy-to-use and functional vacuum cleaner that does an excellent job of cleaning. This is noted by the majority of Yandex.Market users - 95% of recommendations. Compared with Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S, has a larger container volume, which can be convenient when cleaning large apartments. There is no particular problem in the smaller autonomy of the model, because 1 hour will be enough to clean the middle room, and even if it is discharged, the vacuum cleaner will go to the docking station by itself, and after recharging it will finish work. Also, thanks to the ability to schedule cleaning for the week, you can clean the rooms one by one.

Genio Deluxe 500

It is inferior to leaders only in navigation. The third place is won due to three factors:

Price.
Possibility of wet cleaning.
Equipment.

It differs from the two previous participants in the rating by better cross-country ability due to its lower height (only 70 mm, versus 96 and 93 for competitors). It fundamentally differs from them in the possibility of wet cleaning. To do this, it is enough to replace the dust container with a water container with a microfiber cloth. But this vacuum cleaner attracts buyers primarily by its design - it is made in a silver metallic color and has an LCD display with displaying the time, operating mode and battery status - it looks more expensive than competitors. In addition, it has a richer package - a replaceable turbo brush, an additional set of side brushes, an additional filter, 2 microfiber cloths, a virtual wall, a remote control that allows you to control all the functions of the vacuum cleaner. You can also control it from a smartphone, including remotely via wi-fi. In addition to choosing 1 of 6 operating modes, adjusting the suction power, you can set a timer, including schedule cleaning for a week. Autonomy up to 90 minutes in vacuum mode, and up to 240 minutes in wet cleaning mode. The volume of the dust collector is 0.6 l, the container for water is 0.3 l. The price is 19,000 rubles.

pros

Design.
Permeability - low height.
Equipment.
Cleaning quality.
Large dust container.
Low noise level.
Wet cleaning.
6 operating modes.
Control from the remote control.
Smartphone control.
Scheduling cleaning for the week.

Minuses

Working as a floor polisher is not entirely thought out.
Tangled in wires.
He sees black stripes as an obstacle.

Vacuum cleaner for visuals - stylish design and LCD display will fall in love with it at first sight. In work, he shows himself well. Suitable for cleaning small areas. Perfect for apartment cleaning!

ILIFE V8s

This Chinese robot vacuum cleaner is interesting with i-Dropping and i-Move technologies, which are usually equipped with top models. The first ensures uniform wetting of the napkin during wet cleaning, and the second - memorizing the already cleaned area in order to avoid repeated cleaning, which saves time and increases the cleaning area from 1 battery charge. By the way, by autonomy ILIFE V8s does not yield Genio Deluxe 500... The slightly higher height of the device can be forgiven taking into account the increased dust container - 0.75l.The model copes with dry and wet cleaning perfectly - it easily overcomes thresholds, does not fall from a height, however, it can get tangled in the wires. It is controlled remotely using the remote control. Five operating modes - manual, zigzag, automatic, perimeter and intensive (for especially dirty surfaces) + suction power adjustment. The design complements the overall picture and brings the vacuum cleaner to 4th place. The price is 20,500 rubles.

Equipment.
Passage (height 8 cm).
Wet cleaning.
5 operating modes.
Large dust container.
Cleaning quality.

Minuses

An excellent model for cleaning large rooms - good autonomy, an impressive dust collector and reliability (according to user reviews). I got the 4th place only due to the lack of control from a smartphone, which is generally acceptable for this segment.

ABIR x6

Closes the top 5 with one of the best robotic vacuum cleaners on Aliexpress. Dry and wet cleaning. Building a map using a camera is similar to Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S... In terms of maximum suction power, ABIR x6 even surpasses its eminent competitor. Remote control, smartphone or voice control - support for Google Home and Alexa. Autonomy up to 2 hours. Dust container - 0.6 liters with HEPA filter. Possibilities of flexible setting of the cleaning map, limitation of the cleaned surfaces. Automatic adjustment to the type of surface to be cleaned, regulation of the power of suction and water supply during wet cleaning. You can also control these parameters manually by choosing between the 3 suggested modes. The price is 20,000 rubles.

pros

Design.
Crossing - height only 7.6 cm.
Simple smartphone control.
Voice control.
Cleaning quality.
Wet cleaning.
Large dust container.

Minuses

Not very convenient design of the dust collector.
The dust container must not be washed.
The quality of the side brushes.
The remote control is supplied without batteries.

If everything is so rosy, then why the fifth place? It's simple, you cannot buy this vacuum cleaner in the Russian Federation. You don't have to think about the guarantee. Prices on Aliexpress change, but during the sales period, you can buy it up to 20,000 rubles. The reviews are mostly positive, the manufacturer is quite new for the Russian market, we will continue to monitor the development of this brand. In the meantime, I'll leave it in 5th place so that you can also rate this brand, preferably in the comments to this video.
