Building a room map with further saving and editing is typical of flagship models. The price of such vacuum cleaners is 20 -40% higher than those oriented in space only with the help of sensors, and on average is about 40 thousand rubles. Today I prepared a ranking of the top 7 robotic vacuum cleaners with a map, which I compiled based on my knowledge, the number of sales and customer reviews. Please note that the ranking includes models with dry, wet and combined cleaning.
1st place - Hobot 688
Robot floor polisher. The best among this format of robotic vacuum cleaners, which is why it was added to this rating in first place. Ranked first in the Top of the best floor polishing robots in 2020. Suitable for dry and wet cleaning of extremely hard surfaces, it does not vacuum carpets. Excellent cross-country ability and maneuverability thanks to the D-shape, crawler-type wheels, increased side brush. Interesting 7 modes of operation. The “kitchen” mode deserves special attention for thorough cleaning of the floor from stubborn stains. The vacuum cleaner divides the room into squares of 1.5 m × 1.5 m, moistens them with water and then passes over them again, removing already dissolved stains. Impressive 2100 Pa suction power, 2750 mAh battery (up to 90 minutes of cordless use or up to 150 m2). But its main advantage is the 4-step cleaning system. Hobot 688 simultaneously performs:
- collection of garbage and dust;
- dry wiping the floor;
- spraying water;
- wet wiping the floor.
For this, 2 thick napkins are provided, which, during operation, carry out reciprocating movements that imitate the movement of the hands. Controlled by remote control or smartphone app. In the latter case, the potential of the vacuum cleaner is revealed at 100% - displaying a map of the room, planning cleaning for 7 days, viewing information about the technical condition of the device, a complete report on cleaning. The price is 34,990 rubles.
pros
- Price;
- Design;
- Rubberized bumper edging;
- Complete set (watering can for filling the container for water, replaceable rags; spare side brushes, filters, nozzles for spraying water; remote control with batteries;
- 7 operating modes;
- Simple control from a smartphone;
- Suction power;
- Cleaning quality;
- Thick vibrating wipes.
Minuses

- Designed only for cleaning hard surfaces, not suitable for carpets;
- The kit does not include a virtual wall, the installation of restricted zones in the application is also not provided;
- No voice control;
- Cannot be integrated into a smart home.
This robot is fundamentally different from other participants in the rating, if you have exceptionally hard surfaces, I highly recommend paying attention to it. It has no competitors in this segment. But if there are thresholds and you need to clean the carpets, take a look at the following models in the ranking.
2nd place - Xiaomi Roborock S6
It copes well with cleaning carpets and damp cleaning of any flat surfaces. Moreover, it is capable of recognizing carpets, increasing the suction power when riding on them.The maximum power is 2000 Pa. Battery capacity allows cleaning up to 2.5 hours or 250 m2. Equipped with a lidar - fast and accurate building of a room map with the possibility of further editing, indicating forbidden zones for cleaning, or assigning zone cleaning within a room. A feature of the model is an upgraded motor and noise reduction system. In practice, the noise is not much less than that of competitors. Xiaomi decided to stand out in terms of equipment, putting 10 disposable wipes for wet cleaning. Besides them, there are 2 more reusable microfiber rags. It is controlled by a smartphone or voice, Global versions are sold in the Russian Federation, so there are no problems with the Russian language. Can be integrated into a smart home. The price is 39,000 rubles.
pros
- Suction power.
- Autonomy.
- Excellent navigation.
- Convenient smartphone control.
- Voice control.
- Integration into the “Smart Home”.
- Disposable wipes for wet cleaning.
Minuses
- Lack of service.
One of the best robot vacuum cleaners with room mapping. Most of the buyers recommend the model for purchase. In terms of autonomy, of all the participants in the rating, only Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950 can compete with him, and in terms of suction power, Okami U100.
3rd place - Okami U100
Robot vacuum cleaner with high quality wet and dry cleaning. We thank the Japanese engine for the suction power - 2500 Pa, a record figure. Wet cleaning is done with Y-shaped motions (imitation of a mop), which differs from Xiaomi. High power does not cut the autonomy of the model much. A 3,200mAh battery lasts for 2 hours of cleaning. In this case, a dust collector with a volume of 0.6 liters. you don't need to clean it after every cleaning. Like a competitor from Xiaomi, Okami U100 builds a room map, you can install a virtual wall, set a cleaning schedule, select a specific room for cleaning. The robot is fully Russified and speaks Russian. Another interesting feature is the installation of a UV lamp to disinfect the surface to be cleaned. It is not included in the delivery set, it costs about 3,000 rubles.
Everything is fine in navigation, the mobile lidar copes in the best way, there are no complaints about the accuracy of navigation.
The price is 40,000 rubles, which is comparable to the Xiaomi S6.
3 reasons to choose the U100
- Suction power.
- Cleaning quality.
- Proprietary wet cleaning technology.
- Autonomy.
- The volume of the dust collector.
- Possibility to install a UV lamp.
- Warranty service in the Russian Federation.
Minuses
- No voice control.
- Cannot be integrated into a smart home.
- Minor software flaws.
The model is highly appreciated by consumers. 82% of Yandex market users recommend it. There are only complaints about the software, which will be solved with the release of updates, which the manufacturer's IT team is constantly working on. I consider the main competitive advantage to be warranty service in the territory of the Russian Federation, which Chinese counterparts do not have.
4th place - 360 S7
A popular model from the popular online trading platform "Aliexpress". The first thing that attracts attention is the price of 32,000 rubles. At the same time, in practice, it turns out that it is not only outwardly similar to the Roborock S50 from Xiaomi, but also can compete with the flagship from a technical point of view. The suction power is 2000 Pa. The built-in battery lasts for 2 hours in standard operation. The model is equipped with all modern sensors, is able to build and save maps, recognize the surface to be cleaned. The control is carried out from a smartphone and is reduced to adjusting the main parameters - suction power, water supply intensity. Also available flexible setting of the cleaning map, scheduling of work. Voice control via Alexa is implemented, but control does not work in Russian.
In the end, we have a complete set of all the necessary functions, lidar, wet cleaning, advanced cartography, and all this for 32,000 rubles.
pros
- Price.
- Functional.
- Autonomy.
- Suction power.
- The volume of the dust collector.
Minuses
- The package contains no spare consumables.
- Problems with application russification and voice control.
- Cannot be integrated into a smart home.
An excellent solution for those who want to save money on the purchase of a robot vacuum cleaner. At a relatively low cost, it is equipped with everything that is customary to see from the flagships of other manufacturers. But you need to understand that you will have to sacrifice warranty service, localization and wait for delivery from Alliexpress, which is not always convenient.
5th place - iRobot Roomba 981
The model of the mid-price segment from iRobot, the flagships of 100 thousand were deliberately not included in the rating, since those who are ready to pay such an amount will find the i7 and i9 models, but let's be honest, there are only a few such buyers. What do we get for 45,000 rubles when buying a 981 model? Branded chips of the type of "anti-confusion" system, gets tangled in wires less often, but still gets tangled, tested in practice. A proprietary brush system - a paddle brush sweeps out debris from hard-to-reach places, and two main brushes, rotating in opposite directions, provide combing and scraping of dirt and debris, with further sending to a dust container. Automatic suction boost on carpets. Huge container for dust 1000 ml. And what you don't expect for 45,000 rubles, only dry cleaning, the robot does not perform wet cleaning.
But the topic of the rating is building a room map. And here she is. The branded application is convenient, it allows you to create a cleaning schedule, designate the areas to be cleaned, regulate and control the operation of the vacuum cleaner from any point, in general, everything is exactly the same as that of Xiaomi. But there is a fat minus - it's a camera. iRobot uses a camera that loses to lidar in navigation, there are many tests on YouTube, where iRobot loses to its competitors based on lidar. iRobot is 5,000 rubles more expensive than the leaders of the rating, it produces only dry cleaning and loses in navigation - these are the main reasons for getting into 5th place.
pros
- Large dust container.
- Cleaning quality.
- Detection of particularly dirty areas and carpets with automatic increase in suction power.
- Not afraid of wires.
- Autonomy.
- Convenient smartphone control.
- Certified service centers in the Russian Federation, year of warranty.
Minuses
- Price;
- Dry cleaning only.
- Lean equipment.
- The charging station looks cheap when compared to a vacuum cleaner.
- The weight of the docking station is small - the vacuum cleaner moves it while parking.
- Does not drive onto dark carpets, recognizes them as height.
6th place - iClebo O5
The flagship model of the Korean company YUJIN Robot. It stands out for its original form factor, vaguely reminiscent of the Hobot 688. In contrast to the latter, its body is rounded on all sides. The second external difference from competitors is the display. On it you can see the time and current information about the status of the vacuum cleaner and the operating mode when controlled from the remote control. When using a smartphone, you can find out about all this in the application. The vacuum cleaner is declared by the manufacturer for dry and wet cleaning, but it cannot be called a detergent. He does not have a container for water. A microfiber cloth can be pre-moistened with water. According to the manufacturer, its special structure and increased size allow wet cleaning over a large area without additional moisture and without dirty stains later.
In practice, any of the above vacuum cleaners will do better wet cleaning. What iClebo O5 is good at is dry cleaning - high suction power with an increase on carpets and in particularly dirty places, 2 side brushes, a large dust collector, autonomy up to 2 hours. The operating mode is selected depending on the level of contamination of the room - automatic, maximum or Spot mode - for zone cleaning. Navigation based on SLAM + NST, the main information comes from the camera, which is inferior to the lidar.
You can control the vacuum cleaner from the remote control, smartphone or using voice assistants Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Yandex Alice. It is possible to integrate into a “smart home”. The price is 40,000 rubles.
pros
- Large dust container.
- Suction power.
- Cleaning quality.
- Detection of particularly dirty areas and carpets with automatic increase in suction power.
- Hair and wool are not wrapped around the brush.
- Autonomy.
Minuses
- Price.
- Wet cleaning is incompletely implemented.
- Beats against obstacles.
- There is an error in the construction of the map.
92% of Yandex market users recommend this model for purchase. I subscribe to them with two reservations.
- The price for this vacuum cleaner is too high.
- Not the best option for wet cleaning. Xiaomi Roborock S6 and Okami U100 can handle it much better, while they cost less. Well, the best solution for wet cleaning in an apartment without carpets would be the Hobot 688.
7th place - Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950
The oldest model in the manufacturer's lineup, designed for simultaneous dry and wet cleaning on several floors, is the only model in the ranking that allows you to build and save a map of premises at different levels. Also Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950 - the clear leader in the rating from the standpoint of autonomy - works without recharging for up to 200 minutes. It is controlled from a smartphone, has flexible settings, a cleaning limitation system on an already built map, cleaning planning, the ability to clean on demand in a local area. The manufacturer solved the problem of entanglement of hair and wool on the main brush by the possibility of direct suction. To do this, simply remove the brush and start cleaning. At the same time, the brush is better suited for cleaning carpets. The vacuum cleaner recognizes them automatically by going around when wet cleaning and increasing the suction power when driving on them. Users have no complaints about the quality of cleaning, as well as about the accuracy of the map. The price is 50,000 rubles.
pros
- Design;
- Suction power;
- Autonomy;
- Simultaneous dry and wet cleaning;
- Building maps for multiple floors.
- Recognition of particularly dirty places and carpets with automatic increase in suction power;
- Can be used without a turbo brush.
Minuses
- Price;
- The volume of the dust collector.
- The volume of the water container.
- No voice control.
- Cannot be integrated into a smart home.
In view of the above, it is worth explaining why such a successful model takes the last seventh position in the ranking:
- High price. There are worthy competitors 15-20% more affordable (Xiaomi Roborock, Okami U100)
- Small volume of dust collector and water container, given the high suction power and impressive autonomy.
- Lack of voice control and the ability to integrate into a “smart home”, which is unacceptable for the flagship in 2020, although not critical for most users.
If you are ready to close your eyes to these 3 problems, you can buy Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950, but I recommend paying attention to more affordable models.
By the way, watch the sales, I came across discounts for this model, the price dropped to 42,000 - 43,000 rubles. And for such a price, I safely recommend this robot vacuum cleaner for purchase.
