My experience with robotic vacuum cleaners is about two years. In this article, I have compiled a rating of the best robotic vacuum cleaners from Aliexpress in 2020. When composing this TOP, I relied more on the quality of cleaning, because this is the main task of the robot vacuum cleaner. And when this criterion comes first, then only the best models with the best navigation, suction power and, of course, control from a smartphone are included in the rating. Since these are the main criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing.
Why is it worth buying a robot vacuum cleaner on Aliexpress? This is obviously low cost. And in 2020, the dollar is growing and the prices for robots from Alishka are sometimes more expensive than in the Russian Federation. Be sure to compare.
I divided this rating into 2 parts. In the first I collected top - 5 budget models up to 15,000 rubles, and in the second robots of the middle price segment up to 30,000 rubles. Prices for models may differ, they are current at the time of publication of the rating.
5 robots from Aliexpress up to 15 thousand
Do not think that the top five in the first part of the rating are much worse than those in the second part of the ranking of robotic vacuum cleaners from Aliexpress. But this is not entirely true, even cheap models do great daily cleaning. Of their key disadvantages compared to more expensive ones, one can single out only limited functionality of the mobile application, or even the absence of it. In terms of suction power, and, consequently, the quality of cleaning, these vacuum cleaners are inferior to more expensive ones, only slightly.
1st place - ILIFE V7s Plus
The most popular inexpensive vacuum cleaner on AliExpress - 12,000 orders and an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. Do you still have doubts that it deservedly ranks first in the budget segment? I will dispel the remaining fears by telling what is the advantage of this robot vacuum cleaner:
- Price - 12,000 rubles. Sweet, huh? So I think so.
- Wet and dry cleaning. It is carried out in turn, you need to change containers. By the way, they are 300 ml each, which is quite enough for this segment. During wet cleaning, coarse debris is collected with a side brush in a special compartment of the water container.
- The presence of a full-fledged turbo brush. I personally used the older model iLife a9s and thanks to the presence of a brush, it cleaned perfectly. Although the suction power of 500-1000 PA is great, it is extremely difficult. But the vacuum cleaner does an excellent job even with large debris, for example, peas and similar heavy cereals. You can look at the tests on YouTube, which will confirm my words.
By design, we see an unexpected color scheme - a pink case, white side panels and a black bottom. There are 3 modes of operation: automatic, perimeter and local. It is oriented in space thanks to built-in sensors. Controlled from the remote control. You can correct its movement, select a mode, and program cleaning by time. Autonomy - up to 2 hours, which is enough to clean a three-room apartment.
pros
- Price
- Height;
- Wet and dry cleaning;
- Convenient control from the remote control;
- Autonomy.
Minuses
- One side brush;
- No virtual wall included;
- No smartphone app;
- Do not leave water in the container - it flows out through the nozzles;
- Sometimes it doesn't find the base;
- Can clean in one place several times.
A vacuum cleaner with basic necessary functionality. Given the cost, the identified shortcomings can be forgiven. Handles cleaning well, except for high pile carpets. Deserved first place in the top.
2nd place - NEATSVOR X500
Suitable for alternating dry and wet cleaning, hard surfaces and carpets with low to medium pile. Equipped with a V-shaped turbo brush. The suction power is up to 1 800 Pa, although 3000 Pa is written on Aliexpress, but I doubt the veracity of this figure.
The main difference from iLife is in the presence of a smartphone application and in building a room map. In this segment, it is the only model that builds a map. Plus, the navigation uses a gyroscope, which the iLife V7s does not have. Therefore, I should be a little more accurate in recognizing obstacles.
For the rest of the functionality, it is identical to the leader of the rating - cleaning in automatic mode, around the perimeter, local cleaning, adjusting the power and dampening of the napkin, scheduling work. In addition to remote control and smartphone control, it has an alternative in the form of voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Autonomy up to 120 minutes. Design - classic gray washer. The price is 14,000 rubles.
Pros:
- Price;
- Small height 75 mm;
- Suction power;
- Dust collector volume;
- Autonomy;
- Low noise level during operation;
- Smartphone control;
- Voice control.
Minuses
- Cartography is not fully implemented;
- There is no virtual limiter included;
- The connection with the smartphone fails, you have to connect them again;
- Can clean in one place several times;
- Sometimes it loses its base.
A fairly popular vacuum cleaner from Aliexpress - 3000 orders and 1800 reviews confirm my words. Score 4.9 or 5. Why second place?
Xiaomi brand, I call you for help. These cunning Chinese have a model Mijia Sweeping Vacuum Cleaner 1C, which costs 16,000 rubles, and it can be bought in the Russian Federation and received in 3 days. Do you understand yes, the essence? We add 2000r and get a proven brand with the same functions.
3rd place - MOLISU V8S PRO
Designed for alternate dry and wet cleaning of hard surfaces. There is no turbo brush in the design, so it cleans carpets even worse than iLife. But that's in theory. If you look at the characteristics, then the power of 2000 Pa is surprising, it is at the level of the flagships. At the same time, the manufacturer claims the presence of a gyroscope, which the iLife V7s does not have. Control from a smartphone or remote control. It is also possible to operate using voice assistants. And all this for 13,500 rubles.
The manufacturer also declares an automatic change in the suction power depending on the type of surface. 5 operating modes - automatic, perimeter, chaotic movement, local cleaning and manual control. You can also adjust the suction power and the intensity of the wipes moistening. Autonomy - up to 2 hours. The design, like that of the leader of the rating, is unusual - the form factor is classic, the side edges are white, the top is golden or pink (your choice).
pros
- Design;
- Suction power 2000Pa;
- Autonomy;
- Control from a smartphone or remote control.
Minuses
- No turbo brush;
- No virtual wall included;
- Can clean in one place several times (like all members of the budget segment).
This vacuum cleaner could well claim to be 1-2 in the ranking if it had a turbo brush. Its absence makes it almost helpless in relation to carpets with medium and high pile, even with low pile, it copes mediocre. It should be noted that on carpets, like other heights up to 15 mm, it drives in without problems, as promised by the manufacturer. I can recommend it for cleaning hard surfaces, if you have a lot of carpets in your house, then it is better to give preference - ILIFE V7s Plus.
The second reason for the 2nd place is a lesser known brand than iLife. There are only 117 orders and 47 reviews on Aliexpress, which, although positive, are still a new model on the market.
And the third argument, the presence of worthy competitors, with a difference of 2000-3000r.
4th place - Coredy R300 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning of all surfaces.It copes equally well with hard surfaces and carpets, thanks to the turbo brush and suction power up to 1400 Pa. It has 3 operating modes - automatic, "perimeter" and local cleaning. Can be operated manually or with a remote control. Additional power adjustment and work scheduling are available. It will work for about 2 hours without recharging. The price is 12,500 rubles.
pros
- Small height 75 mm;
- Convenient control from the remote control;
- Autonomy.
Minuses
- Price
- No wet cleaning;
- No smartphone control;
- No virtual wall included;
- Cleaning quality for high-pile carpets.
A good vacuum cleaner for all surfaces except high pile carpets. But the price is too high. For this money, I would buy ILIFE V7s Plus with wet cleaning. The minimum number of orders suggests that I am not the only one.
5th place - Fmart E-R550W (S)
The case when the low price did not affect the functionality The cheapest vacuum cleaner in the rating is a worthy competitor to the leaders. Carries out dry and wet cleaning. Slightly inferior to most competitors in terms of suction power (1200 Pa), but copes well with cleaning any surfaces. Controlled from a smartphone. Unlike all competitors, it is equipped with an LCD display for ease of operation and selection of the desired mode. It also understands voice commands. Autonomy is also at the level - up to 2 hours. The price is 10 600 rubles.
pros
- Price;
- Smartphone control;
- voice control;
- Autonomy.
Minuses
- Suction power compared to competitors;
- There is no virtual limiter included;
- Cleaning quality for high-pile carpets.
- No remote control.
New at aliexperess. The minimum number of sales and reviews. An ideal choice for those to whom every thousand rubles weighs. If there is an opportunity to overpay, I recommend paying attention to ILIFE V7s Plus. The difference of 1000r is justified by the brand's fame and the presence of a turbo brush.

1st place - Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S
Vacuum cleaner from a famous Chinese brand for dry cleaning. Equipped with a lidar, camera and energy-efficient Cortex A 35 processor. Due to this, it is perfectly oriented in space and works faster than competitors. High suction power (up to 2000 Pa), together with an amazing autonomy of up to 150 minutes, make this vacuum cleaner demanded by customers. Management is carried out from a smartphone. A wide functionality is open to the user - from choosing a cleaning mode and monitoring the state of the robot's consumables, to setting virtual boundaries - just draw lines on the smartphone screen and your assistant will not pick them up in real space. You can also create a cleaning schedule - the vacuum cleaner will do its job when you are not at home. The model is interesting for its support of innovative voice control functions and integration into “Smart Home”. True, voice control is implemented on the basis of the proprietary technology "Xiao ai", and so far only in Chinese. The vacuum cleaner is made in the spirit of the manufacturer - a classic washer made of high-quality white plastic with orange accents. The price is 25,000 rubles.

Optimal in terms of price / quality ratio, if we talk about dry cleaning of hard surfaces and carpets with low and medium pile. If you need a 2 in 1 model, I recommend paying attention to ILIFE A9s.
2nd place - ILIFE A9s
Efficient wet and dry vacuum cleaner. It is perfectly oriented in space due to the built-in gyroscope and camera. Features:
- Sleek vinyl-style design with silver-colored edges and center of the top and black for the rest;

Operated using the remote control or smartphone app. The functionality of the latter is curtailed. The user can turn on / off the robot, send it to the docking station, switch modes, adjust the degree of dampening of the napkin, set up a schedule, view statistics. A virtual wall is supplied to restrict the movement of the robot. The price is 30,000 rubles.

Undoubtedly, Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S loses in terms of the capabilities of the mobile application and the lack of innovative options, but it performs its direct mission perfectly, and it copes equally well with both dry and wet cleaning. An overpayment of 4,000 rubles is justified. On the other hand, if you are not interested in wet cleaning, you can also choose Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S. All other models are inferior in the rating - ILIFE A9s at least for wet cleaning.
3rd place - Liectroux C30B
One of the most popular robotic vacuum cleaners on Aliexpress. Designed for alternate dry and wet cleaning. It can work in 4 modes - automatic, perimeter, local cleaning, and manual control. Separate cleaning of 1 room indicated on the map is provided.

In it, you can select the operating mode, power, view statistics, schedule cleaning, turn off voice alerts. You cannot limit the cleaning area. The model supports voice control and integration into “smart home”. And all the functions are duplicated on the remote control. The quality of cleaning is ensured by a high suction power of 3,000 Pa with three-stage adjustment. Autonomy up to 2 hours. The form factor is classic, the color is black, the upper part is framed with a mesh pattern. The price is 16,500 rubles.

A vacuum cleaner that attracts attention with its price. At the same time, it has a high suction power and copes well with cleaning carpets. User reviews on Aliexpress are mixed. Some note problems with navigation and finding the base, others, on the contrary, praise the model for these parameters. An average rating of 4.9 / 5 still suggests that the vacuum cleaner is worthy of attention.On the other hand, I personally think Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S is more reliable, and ILIFE A9s is the best in the rating from the point of view of wet cleaning. If there is a financial opportunity to purchase these models, I advise you to give preference to them.
4th place - ABIR X6
Designed for dry and wet cleaning. In terms of functionality, it is comparable to the leader in this section of the rating. Also equipped with a camera, it builds a fairly accurate map of the room with the possibility of flexible settings - the installation of virtual walls, the appointment of restricted areas. These options are available in the mobile app. In addition to them, you can select the operating mode from the smartphone, the suction power, the degree of wetting of the napkin. Alternatively, voice control is provided using Google Home and Alexa. Suction power up to 3,000 Pa with the possibility of automatic change depending on the surface to be cleaned.

5th place - Proscenic 820P
The rating is closed by another model of the middle price category with the possibility of dry and wet cleaning. In terms of functionality, it is comparable to the Liectroux C30B, if you do not take into account the lack of innovative functions of voice control and Integration into the “smart home”. Has a suction power of 1800 Pa - it copes well with dry and wet cleaning of any surfaces. Controlled from a smartphone or remote control. Autonomy up to 2 hours. The price is 19,000 rubles.

Choosing between the Liectroux C30B and Proscenic 820P, which are as similar as possible in functionality and design, I personally would prefer the Liectroux C30B - the best package for a lower price. If we talk about the rating as a whole, I consider it reasonable to overpay for the leaders. Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S is very popular on the Yandex market, it is highly appreciated by users, it is equipped with all innovative options. ILIFE A9s is as easy to use as possible, while leading in the quality of wet cleaning and can adapt to the type of surface to be cleaned by replacing the main brush (there are 2 of them).
