The site has already talked about robotic vacuum cleaners, and more than once. However, most often it was about fairly inexpensive models that are not particularly smart. Now it's time to talk about those robotic vacuum cleaners that are capable of building a room map. Such devices are much better at coping with their main task, and they do not waste time colliding with walls and subsequent turns.

LG CordZero R9MASTER

Rating: 4.9

Usually, robot vacuum cleaners are round or square. Most often, they are completely different from a traditional vacuum cleaner. And only LG CordZero R9MASTER gets out of this rule. Yes, it is round. But in its front there is a familiar brush. In some cases, it only interferes, but in others, this accessory provides the maximum cleaning quality. Do you want to remove dust and debris from your floor?

The height of this model is 14.3 cm. A very decent parameter. Such a robot vacuum cleaner may not go anywhere under the bed, let alone the sofa. But on the other hand, the 4-kg device is capable of boasting a dust collection container that holds 0.6 liters. Therefore, such a vacuum cleaner will definitely not complain about filling it up after processing the first room. There is also a high-quality five-stage filter here.

The main advantage of this vacuum cleaner is its motor. The large size of the device allows a motor with a suction power of 120 W to be placed inside! It is the motor that ensures perfect waste collection. Of course, a vacuum cleaner may not be able to cope with a carpet, but laminate, linoleum and parquet after processing with this device become as clean as possible! Interestingly, LG CordZero R9MASTER is not afraid of hair – it has a system support against tangling on the brush. As for the filters, they are easy to remove and wash.

As you might guess, the brush used here is electric. It may seem that using it will cause the vacuum cleaner to discharge quickly. But no, he will go to his base station only after about an hour and a half. Then it will take about 240 minutes to recharge, after which the cleaning process can resume.

This model has a large number of optical sensors. She easily builds a map of the room, thanks to which the vacuum cleaner gets the opportunity to drive in a zigzag, and not just along the walls. And it is also thanks to the room map that he independently returns to the charging station. Present as part of a robot vacuum cleaner and a wireless Wi-Fi module. It is needed to control the device from a smartphone, as well as to integrate it into the Smart Home system. Alice's voice commands to this vacuum cleaner have already been appreciated by some customers for an extraordinary experience.

Advantages

• Implemented automatic installation on a charging station;
• A powerful engine is used;
• There is an electric brush;
• There is a system against hair winding;
• Ideal building of a room map;
• Control from a smartphone is available;
• Can be made part of a smart home;
• Capacious container for collecting dust;
• The filters are removable and washable.

disadvantages

• Sounds overly loud
• Very high cost;
• The robot vacuum cleaner turned out to be quite tall.

iRobot Roomba 981

Rating: 4.8

This robot vacuum cleaner has the familiar round shape. Along its edges are soft bumpers, thanks to which the device will definitely not receive physical damage. There are a couple of buttons on the top panel. If you want to use all the features of the vacuum cleaner, then it is better to use your own smartphone by installing the appropriate application on it. Synchronization is carried out via Wi-Fi, while the robot vacuum cleaner can connect to the home network, and therefore control over a huge distance is possible – you can even be on the opposite side of the globe. Especially if you have a smart home implemented using the Amazon Alexa or Google Home system.

Despite its tiny size, there is a dust collection container inside the device, the volume of which is 0.6 liters. And the vacuum cleaner is really capable of filling it up, even if not instantly. He even received a Carpet Boost carpet cleaning system, which not every robot vacuum cleaner with a similar price tag can boast of. For iRobot Roomba 981 they ask for about 35 thousand rubles.

The work of this model is provided by a lithium-ion battery. Its full charge is enough for about two hours of driving around the apartment. The device then automatically returns to the charging station, after which it needs to rest for three hours. When the battery is full of energy, the robot cleaner can return to work. In this case, the device can build a map of the room, so it does not waste time colliding with objects and walls.

It remains to add that the iRobot Roomba 981 also received an electric brush. But do not forget that connecting it will cause increased power consumption, and therefore the battery life will be somewhat reduced.

Advantages

• A very capacious container is used;
• There is a fine filter;
• Carpet cleaning system implemented;
• Extremely long battery life;
• Completed with an electric brush;
• Control from a smartphone is available;
• Automatic return to the charging station;
• It is possible to work in the “smart home” system.

disadvantages

• Not the best performance for height sensors;
• May not drive onto large pile carpet;
• Not very convenient emptying of the dust container;
• The front bumper is quickly scratched and rubbed off.

Okami u100 laser

Rating: 4.7

This robot vacuum cleaner also has a dust container with a volume of 0.6 liters. And the main feature of this model is indicated by its name: the device includes a laser rangefinder. This detail makes navigation more adequate. But there are also optical sensors! In a word, it is not surprising that this model correctly builds a map of the room, after which it practically does not collide with the walls. And if this does happen, the soft bumpers located around the entire circumference will save.

Like other not the cheapest robotic vacuum cleaners, Okami U100 Laser has an excellent fine filter. Autonomous operation of the device is provided by a lithium-ion battery, the capacity of which reaches 3200 mAh. A full charge lasts 100-120 minutes. I am glad that when the energy runs out, the vacuum cleaner will independently go to the charging station. He will have to spend about four hours on it. Yes, fast charging is not implemented here, the manufacturer preferred to save on this.

This model can be called moderately noisy. Corresponding measurements will show 50 dB. As for the electronic 'brains', there are no complaints about them. There is even Wi-Fi, so the robot vacuum cleaner can be programmed from a smartphone. For example, in this way you can assign him certain days when cleaning should be done. If you do not have a modern smartphone or you run out of memory on it, you can use the complete remote control.

It remains to add that this model comes with an electric brush. It, of course, reduces the battery life, but this accessory significantly improves the quality of cleaning.

Advantages

• The height of the vacuum cleaner does not exceed 10 cm;
• There is a laser rangefinder;
• The set includes a remote control;
• You can control the vacuum cleaner from your smartphone;
• There is an electric brush;
• Automatic return to the charging station;
• Long battery life;
• Extra large dust bin.

disadvantages

• High price;
• For some reason, the cleaning map is not stored in the application.

iCLEBO O5 WiFi

Rating: 4.6

This robot vacuum cleaner has an unusual shape. If you look at it from above, the device resembles a donut, only the holes inside are missing. This model is intelligent, this is what determines its high cost. It does an excellent job of building a room map. Also, the robot vacuum cleaner instantly reacts to all sorts of obstacles, for which 35 optical sensors should be thanked. He can move along different trajectories. However, you can limit the area to be cleaned using the supplied magnetic tape.

The iCLEBO O5 WiFi includes a large number of all kinds of components. In this regard, the manufacturer had to introduce a 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery. Its full charge lasts about a couple of hours of battery life. And then only if you do not connect the included electric brush.

It's nice that this model has received a high-quality three-stage fine filter. Also, there are no complaints about the motor – the noise level it makes barely reaches 44 dB. The collection of dust and debris is carried out in the usual container, the volume of which is 0.6 liters.

Unlike the examples discussed above, iCLEBO O5 WiFi is capable of providing even wet cleaning! Of course, it cannot be called full-fledged, but this device can still somehow wipe the laminate or parquet floor. It is proposed to program the device either using the remote control or via a smartphone, on which you just need to install the appropriate application. Synchronization with the latter is done via Wi-Fi. Also, a robot vacuum cleaner can become part of a 'smart home'. He also supports the popular voice assistant 'Alice' in our country.

Perhaps the iCLEBO O5 WiFi fully justifies its price tag. Having bought it, you will definitely not be disappointed. Now it is one of the smartest robotic vacuum cleaners among those sold for 40 thousand rubles.

Advantages

• Capacious container for collecting dust;
• A quality filter is used;
• The vacuum cleaner is not noisy;
• Long battery life;
• The device automatically returns to the charging station;
• A huge number of optical sensors;
• Can be controlled using a remote control and a smartphone;
• Implementation in the 'smart home' is available.

disadvantages

• High price;
• There are kits without magnetic tape;
• The app is not the most informative.

Samsung VR20M7070

Rating: 4.5

The South Korean company Samsung produces a huge amount of home appliances. Including vacuum cleaners are present in its assortment. And not only traditional ones. You can easily get the Samsung VR20M7070 – a real robot vacuum cleaner that can be programmed to clean on certain days of the week. This is done using a smartphone. You can also use the complete remote control, but it is intended only to activate the basic functions. There are also buttons on the top panel of the device itself. But what can I say, there is even a display here!

This model was created for the most regular cleaning. This is not the case when a robot vacuum cleaner can go on its mission only once a week. The fact is that it is not able to collect any large amount of dust. First, there is not enough power for this. Secondly, a 0.3 liter container is simply not able to accommodate large debris. Thirdly, the vacuum cleaner cannot work for any length of time. The lithium-ion battery installed here lasts only one hour of movement around the apartment. However, you should not worry too much about this. The fact is that charging lasts only an hour and a half, after which the robot vacuum cleaner can again go into battle. The only pity is that you will have to manually put it on the charging station. This copy cannot find it on its own.

Like many other expensive robotic vacuum cleaners, the Samsung VR20M7070 has a turbo brush. Its main purpose is to successfully collect small debris and dust from skirting boards.

Otherwise, this is a typical robot vacuum cleaner capable of building a map of a room. It has a large number of optical sensors. Soft bumpers are located around its circumference. Well, the built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to connect the device to your home network. Interestingly, the Yandex application is able to recognize this model, which makes it possible to manage it with the help of Alice.

Admittedly, this is far from the smartest robot vacuum cleaner. Buyers note that he often goes through one section twice, and sometimes three times. He also has problems with rooms that are not rectangular in shape. Well, low power does not allow the vacuum cleaner to work properly with the carpet.

Advantages

• A large number of optical sensors;
• There is an electric brush for cleaning the baseboards;
• Fast charging implemented;
• Control from a smartphone is possible;
• The set includes a remote control;
• Supported by the voice assistant 'Alice'.

disadvantages

• Low power;
• Tiny container for collecting dust;
• There are often problems with navigation;
• High price;
• The noise level can reach 77 dB.

Roborock S6 / T6

Rating: 4.4

This robot vacuum cleaner is available in two colors. It also features wet cleaning capabilities. However, one should not hope for a gorgeous result, because in this mode only disposable wipes are used, and not a full-fledged container with liquid or detergent. For routine cleaning, dust and debris are sucked into a 0.16 liter container. This suggests that its emptying will be required very often.

There is a not very powerful motor inside this device. However, one must admit that it turned out to be too noisy. Measurements show that the noise level can reach 67 dB. Only full-fledged vacuum cleaners are noisier. But they also have much more suction power!

Autonomous operation of this device is provided by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh. Surprisingly, a full charge is enough for 150 minutes of moving around the apartment! And this is when a sufficiently large number of optical sensors are used here! Energy is also spent by electronic 'brains' building a room map. I am glad that the device returns to the charging station on its own. Well, long charging is not such a problem.

Complete with a robot vacuum cleaner, you will receive an electric brush. Its use is relevant if the room contains too much debris and dust. The product also has soft bumpers, thanks to which the vacuum cleaner does not damage itself when it hits an obstacle.

This model includes a wireless Wi-Fi module. It allows you to control the device from your smartphone by installing a special application on it. Basically, simple actions are required from the user – the choice of days of the week on which the vacuum cleaner will clean, as well as the choice of a specific operating mode.

Advantages

• Control from a smartphone is possible;
• Wet cleaning is available;
• There is a fine filter;
• Long battery life;
• The device automatically returns to the charging station;
• The kit includes an electric brush.

disadvantages

• The vacuum cleaner is quite noisy;
• High price;
• Tiny container for collecting dust;
• Wet cleaning may not live up to expectations.

iCLEBO Omega

Rating: 4.3

Another very advanced robot vacuum cleaner. On its top panel there are not only buttons, but also a display. Already he alone makes it possible to understand that the device has a large number of operating modes – this is hinted at by numerous pictograms. It should also be noted that this is a rare case when the robot vacuum cleaner exists in three colors.

This model offers not only dry but also wet cleaning. In the second case, a microfiber cloth is used. The result is not perfect, but close to that. Only full-fledged washing vacuum cleaners cope with their task better.

The iCLEBO Omega contains a high-quality five-stage fine filter. The robot vacuum cleaner also received 35 optical sensors. With their help, the device builds a map of the room, after which it begins to move around the room. In this case, the user can prohibit the vacuum cleaner to go to some dangerous place – for example, stairs. To do this, you only need to enclose this place with the magnetic tape included in the kit. Or purchased separately – reviews say that now more and more iCLEBO Omega is sold without such an important accessory.

The autonomous work of the robot vacuum cleaner is provided by a lithium-ion battery, the capacity of which reaches 4400 mAh. This is enough for cleaning to last for 80 minutes. Further, the device independently stands on the charging station, after which its battery is filled with energy for about three hours. Sometimes the robot vacuum cleaner still does not find the charging station, but this happens relatively rarely.

An electric brush is supplied with this model. It will slightly improve the quality of cleaning. The remote control will also be found in the box with the device. Unfortunately, this is the only way to operate the vacuum cleaner. If you want to use a smartphone, then you need a slightly more expensive model from the same manufacturer, which was discussed a little above. Here, the manufacturer decided to save money by not implementing the Wi-Fi module, thereby reducing the price tag to 37 thousand rubles.

Advantages

• Several body colors to choose from;
• Wet cleaning is available;
• You can connect an electric brush;
• A huge number of optical sensors;
• You can limit the cleaning area with magnetic tape;
• Automatic installation on the charger;
• Supplied with a remote control.

disadvantages

• Very high cost;
• Control from a smartphone is not supported;
• Quite high noise level;
• On restart, forgets the route traveled.

iRobot Roomba e5

Rating: 4.3

Do you want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner with a room map for very little money? Alas, this will not work. This function is expensive to implement. In this regard, the cheapest of the worthy robotic vacuum cleaners of such a plan is estimated at 30 thousand rubles. This is the price of the iRobot Roomba e5. I am glad that in many ways it is more functional than the models discussed above. For example, it has a Wi-Fi module, thanks to which the user will be able to control from a smartphone. Also, support for this device was announced by the developers of 'smart homes' Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

This model is intended for dry cleaning only. Inside it there was a place for a waste container with a volume of 0.6 liters. There is also a fine filter here, so nothing will fly into the air. The engine used here is powered by a 1800 mAh lithium-ion battery. A full charge is enough for an hour and a half cleaning. Then, if you're lucky, the robot vacuum cleaner will stand on its own at the charging station.

This model is oriented in space using optical sensors. You can order her to vacuum absolutely the entire apartment. A virtual wall constraint is also available. Cleaning can be carried out using the electric brush, which is included.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then you can complain about the application, which turned out to be very crude – it is clear that the manufacturer is obliged to refine it in the future. Also embarrassing is the bumper made of plastic – it quickly scratches and becomes covered with dust. Well, we have already mentioned about the not particularly long battery life.

Advantages

• The kit includes an electric brush;
• Capacious dust container;
• Compatible with voice assistants;
• A large number of optical sensors;
• Automatic installation on the charging station.

disadvantages

• Not very long cleaning from a full charge;
• The bumper is made of plastic.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best robotic vacuum cleaners among those that can build a room map. All the devices considered in this review are well oriented in space, and they cope with the collection of dust very well. Now you just have to decide on the amount that you are willing to spend. And what shortcomings are you willing to accept, because even the most expensive robot vacuum cleaner cannot do without them.
