If your idea of cleaning is pressing a button and walking away, robot vacuums are the way to go. The latest models don’t just vacuum – they mop, self-empty, and even clean themselves. Robot vacs are great for busy households or anyone who wants to spend their time doing anything but the vacuuming. ROBOT VACUUMS

This robot vac is about as close as you can get to a fully hands-off clean. Packing 20,000Pa of suction and the Ozmo Turbo 2.0 spinning mop system, it lifts debris and scrubs away dried spills with ease, while the ZeroTangle 3.0 brush system keeps long hair and pet fur from wrapping around the rollers, preventing any fiddly maintenance. TruEdge 2.0 tech ensures edges and corners are cleaned just as thoroughly as open areas, and its “Carpet First” feature automatically lifts the mop to keep rugs and high-pile carpets dry. TrueMapping 2.0 and TrueDetect sensors handle navigation, so the robot can avoid obstacles and clean efficiently. Ecovacs Deebot N50 Omni Robotic Vacuum

The Omni docking station does all the aftercare – emptying the dustbin, washing and drying the mops, dispensing detergent, and even cleaning itself. The three litre dust bag lasts up to 90 days before needing a replacement. With up to 180 minutes of runtime and the ability to climb 20mm thresholds, the Deebot N50 Omni is ideal for mixed-floor homes and those who want top-tier cleaning. The combination of powerful suction, effective mopping, and thorough edge cleaning makes it one of the most complete robot options available.

Eufy E28 Omni Robovac

Eufy’s E28 Omni brings similar suction power – 20,000Pa – but adds a few unique touches. Its HydroJet mop-cleaning system washes the mop continuously as it cleans, reducing the chance of spreading dirt. Then there’s the FlexiOne Portable Deep Cleaner, which detaches from the base to tackle sofas, stairs, and other spots a robot can’t reach. DuoSpiral Detangle Brushes minimise hair

wrapping, and the CornerRover Arm can reach deep into edges for a more precise clean. The E28 Omni is also a fully self maintaining vacuum – self-emptying, self-refilling, mop washing, hot air drying, and detergent dispensing are all built in. The end result is minimal interaction from you beyond setting

schedules or pressing “start.” For households that deal with both floor messes

and above-floor spills or stains, the E28’s added flexibility makes it a strong, adaptable choice. It’s especially well suited to homes with pets or children, where unexpected messes are just part of the daily routine.
