Robot vacuum cleaners in the segment up to 30 thousand rubles, as a rule, are equipped with laser navigation based on lidar, build a map of the premises, and are controlled using an application on a smartphone. I have prepared the TOP 5 of the best models for 2020, which includes only the best offers from different manufacturers. I hope my rating will help you choose a smart assistant and save you time, plus a few thousand rubles.
HOBOT Legee 669
HOBOT Legee 669 is the leader in the polishing robot segment. The older model Legee 688 took first place in ranking of robots polishers 2020... For hard surfaces - better not to find, personally checked.
The main advantage lies in the four-step Fast Brush cleaning technology. It involves complex cleaning: debris and dust are sucked into the hole guided by the side and central brushes, a dry cloth attached to the bottom wipes the floor from dust and directs it to the vacuum hole, the robot sprays water in doses (depending on the temperature and type of surface), the second wipe wipes the floor, collecting dirt and liquid. A special feature is that the platforms with napkins make up to 600 movements per minute, imitating hand wiping. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner can be safely called the best option for high-quality cleaning and washing of parquet, linoleum and tiles.
The robot is made in the shape of the letter D. The front part has a rectangular shape, which distinguishes it from other models. It is equipped with a spacious 500 ml dust container and a 320 ml water tank. The robot's movement is controlled by the Smart Navigation system, which includes laser sensors for detecting obstacles and elevation changes, a gyroscope, an electromagnetic compass and an encoder (determines the angle of rotation). At its core, this is the same lidar, only laser sensors are located in the bumper and on the sides of the robot. Thanks to this, the vacuum cleaner is able to determine its location, remembers the cleaned areas, calculates the optimal trajectory of movement, taking into account the charge level, does not leave uncleaned areas. The robot builds a cleaning map, remembers it and chooses a route on its own. The battery with a capacity of 2750 mAh provides work for 90 minutes, the maximum cleaning area on one charge is up to 150 square meters. Controlled by the remote control. There is no application in the younger version.
Benefits:
- Interesting design.
- Crawler.
- Complex cleaning.
- Automatic water supply.
- High suction power.
- Sophisticated navigation. The correct algorithm for moving around the map.
- Capacious battery.
Disadvantages:
- One side brush.
- No smartphone app.
- There is no virtual wall.
- High price.
The HOBOT Legee 669 vacuum cleaner, worth 29,900 rubles, is an excellent automated cleaner that is quite capable of high-quality cleaning of any surfaces without human intervention. The manufacturer has provided everything you need in equipment for correct orientation in space, obstacle recognition and route planning. According to customer reviews, it would be nice to be able to control the work through the application, like the Roborocks 55 Sweep One.
Xiaomi Roborock S6 Pure
New from Xiaomi in 2020. In fact, this is a simplified version of the flagship Roborock S6.The most interesting thing is that the simplifications concerned only the configuration and minor sensors. Otherwise, this is the same flagship, for a modest price of 30,000 rubles, at the time of the sale. But even after the sale, the price of 33,000 rubles will be quite adequate. I completely forgot, this is the only robot from Xiaomi with a matte body.
Let me tell you about the main advantages of buying this robot:
- Availability of laser navigation based on Lidar.
- Advanced mapping and smartphone app. Knows how to build and save room maps.
- High suction power up to 2000 PA.
This robot handles both dry and wet cleaning. Dust container capacity 460ml. and Water tank capacity (ml) 180ml. Accumulator 5200 mAh on which the robot can remove up to 250 squares. By the way, S6 pure itself regulates the suction power, automatically increases when hitting carpets.
All control takes place from a smartphone, here you can set forbidden zones and select a specific area for cleaning.
I won't even single out the pros and cons of the model separately. In fact, the price is exactly 30,000 rubles, there is still no robot vacuum cleaner that will give the same functionality and quality.
Loses Hobot 699 in wet cleaning of hard surfaces, but Xiaomi is the best in the segment of universal robotic vacuum cleaners.

360 S7
The 360 S7 Robot Vacuum Cleaner ranks third in the review of the best models. It is also designed for both types of cleaning. But its feature is the automatic suspension of the flow of liquid to the napkin when driving onto carpets. Wet mopping the floor can be done at the same time as cleaning if the unit is installed. The robot not only builds maps, it is able to memorize up to 10 pieces. Through the application, the user can name rooms in the apartment, manually adjust the movement of the robot, define areas for double cleaning or without using a wet wipe, set a schedule for the days of the week. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a less capacious battery (3200 mAh), the charge of which is enough for 2 hours of cleaning an area of 200 square meters.
Benefits:
- Good suction power.
- Adjustable power.
- Modern navigation with lidar.
- Memorizing cards.
- Control from a smartphone via an application and using a voice assistant.
- Cleaning schedule.
- Restricting zones in the application.
- Protection of carpets from getting wet.
Disadvantages:
- One side brush.
- Poor equipment (no spare consumables).
- According to reviews, there is no warranty service.
360 S7 costs 29,000 rubles. The robot has excellent equipment, builds a map in real time, according to which it rebuilds a route so as not to go through the same section twice. Thanks to the application, it allows you to regulate work, monitor the status of consumables. Dosed water intake, its stopping when driving onto the carpet - all this guarantees a good quality of floor wiping, but still cannot be compared with the HOBOT Legee 669 cleaning technology.
iRobot Roomba 886
iRobot Roomba 886 differs from previous robots in its device. It is equipped with two roller brushes, the spiral shape of which enhances the vacuum effect at the cleaning point. Due to tight fit to each other, capture and easy scraping of any debris and dust is provided. The iAdapt Responsive system is responsible for navigation. The robot accurately detects obstacles, regardless of their size and shape. When moving, the vacuum cleaner checks the sensors 67 times per second, so it cannot be mistaken. The model is equipped with a system of sensors that prevent falls from a height, entanglement in wires. A remote control is provided for control. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a less capacious battery (3000 mAh), but it provides a sufficiently long time for cleaning (up to 3 hours), although it is designed for cleaning a small area (up to 100 sq. M).
Benefits:
- Capacious dust collector.
- Quality filters.
- Long working time.
- Cleaning programming.
- Thoughtful movement, does not crash, does not get confused.
Disadvantages:
- No mobile app.
- Small cleaning area.
The iRobot Roomba 886 price is 30,000 rubles. The robot took this place, since it does not perform wet cleaning, although it does dry cleaning at the proper level. This is provided by a powerful motor, well thought-out brush design. It really removes quality on any surface. But there is no laser navigation or advanced application, with the restriction of cleaning zones, virtual walls. Therefore, the 4th place in my ranking.
Polaris PVCR 3000 Cyclonic PRO
Polaris PVCR 3000 Cyclonic PRO closes the rating of premium vacuum cleaners. This is the most powerful vacuum cleaner in the manufacturer's range. Has a classic design: one central brush, two side brushes, rounded. In our rating, this is the lowest device - only 7.9 cm. The built-in gyroscope and infrared sensors are responsible for navigation capabilities. Thanks to them, the robot builds a rational route of movement, recognizes obstacles and changes in height. A feature of the device is a two-chamber dust collector with a cyclone tower (imitates the operation of a cyclone chamber). Controlled from the remote control. On a 4400 mAh battery, it can clean surfaces for up to 2 hours. Designed for an area of up to 120 sq. m.
Benefits:
- Stylish appearance.
- Logical route planning.
- High-quality cleaning of any surfaces.
- Setting the work schedule.
- Powerful battery.
Disadvantages:
- No wet cleaning.
- There is no virtual wall.
- Cannot be controlled from a smartphone.
Polaris PVCR 3000 Cyclonic PRO costs 25,000 rubles (I saw a price of 20,000 rubles during the sales period). The main sensors for navigation are here, they are enough to perform high-quality cleaning. It took the last place due to the lack of a wet cleaning mode, control via a smartphone and any additional "smart" functions (for example, carpet detection, power change). But if such opportunities do not provide special value, the model can be safely recommended for purchase. Moreover, it is equipped with a powerful motor, special dust suction technology and a capacious battery. I also note the brand's popularity in the Russian market and excellent warranty support.
